Slice of Heaven Getaway

We had a great time..the house was extremely well equipped. We have never stayed at one that had everything we needed. We had more than enough space for 5 adults and 3 kids. The view was unbeatable. The beach was awesome..many hours of entertainment.

Wonderful stay!!

This place is truly special! The beach is incredible - sandy, private and a perfect walking beach. We had 4 kiddos at the house (4 under 4) and they loved it! The downstairs is tile so I do recommend bringing a pad for babies which worked out well. We brought some toys to keep them entertained as well. The back porch is perfect for sunsets and for keeping kids entertained along with the nice yard. The neighbors are so nice and friendly which was a nice surprise since I know some people are a little leary of renters. Norma, the manager, was so nice to work with and the owners are very friendly as well. We had a great time and cannot wait to come back!!!

Property was clean, convenient and comfortable.

We enjoyed our stay on the shore of Lake Michigan. It was great to just cross the lawn and be at the beach. The condo was great. No complaints at all. The weather was warm and cold, the lake was calm and very rough. We got a lot of beautiful photos of the calm and the huge sprays of water from the rough waves. So glad we rented here.

Gem of place on Lake Michigan

This place undersells itself. It's been newly updated and is absolutely beautiful. Right on the lake. Gorgeous sunsets. Friendly neighbors. I shouldn't even be telling anyone about it because it's that good. John and Brigid make everything easy and it has all the amenities you need to have a great time. Truly a gem on the lake.

Amazing Family Vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house is beautiful, has a great layout and the views...oh my! Neighbors were friendly and being able to walk right to the water was great! We grilled out and ate every meal on the deck and watched the sunset every night. We played games, watched movies and I even did some scrapbooking and crocheting. The house has enough areas where people can hang out, yet is open so you can still hear/talk to each other. We could be together without being on top of each other! We will definitely be back!

Great summer week at the beach

Lake Michigan beaches are the greatest. Our extended family (5 adults, 3 children age 2-8) had a great time. Water and waves were just right for everyone; wind was great for sport kites also. Beach was walkable for a good ways in both directions. The condo itself accommodated us very well. The kitchen had all the equipment we needed for at home cooking. Given that the weather was good to be outside the whole week, the place was roomy enough for the 8 of us. The condition of the condo was great -- all in good repair. One minor maintenance problem during the week was handled promptly by communication with the owner. And communication in general was prompt and to the point. The owners deserve an above and beyond rating for the following. The kids lost a kindle in the apartment, which we could not locate upon leaving. The cleaner found it a week later in the depths of the fold-out couch. The owners took the trouble to package and mail it back to us, for which we all, grandson in particular, are very grateful. Two other points: we did not find the pull out couch to be useful for us (for sleeping), even though we intended to use it. And, though the place was in excellent condition and overall clean, we did have to do some cleaning on arrival -- wood stairs, some carpets, refrigerator. As others have reported no problems with cleanliness, we expect this was a one-time problem.

Tranquility

Enjoyed our stay at this breath taking location overlooking lake Michigan. Able to take long walks on the beach and enjoyed the patio sunsets.The home was charming and well stocked. The upstairs sitting area overlooking the lake offered a peaceful repite. Location was ideal to explore many beautiful areas along the western coast line. John and Brigid were a joy to work with.

On the Edge of Perfection

My family vacations in Onekama every August in various rental properties and this was one of our favorite places. We had 5 adults and 1 child and there was plenty of room for all of us. The location between onekama and manistee was very convenient and you can’t beat being right on the waterfront! The water was rocky, so it was not ideal for swimming but the sand was great. And such a perfect spot to watch the sunsets over Lake Michigan in the backyard! We did feel a little rushed on check out day when the cleaning crew showed up at 930am, and we were planning to leave at 10am as instructed. But otherwise a great stay!

Grew up visiting my grandfather's cottage four miles south of location. Always wondered what it would be like to walk to the south Portage Point pier. Now I know! Fantastic visit, fantastic weather.

Wonderful vacation for our family!

Brigid and John's home is lovely, and the beach is a short walk across the well manicured lawn to a short flight of steps. They've done a good job outfitting the kitchen so you can be confident that you will not have to bring extra kitchen items with you. We had a wonderful time with the children and really and the neighbors were wonderfully helpful.

Lovely condo on Lake Michigan

Our stay at the condo was great, especially being right on the lake and enjoying the sunset every night. Property was well maintained & unit was well stocked. Only downside was the extra charge for towels & sheets and having to make the beds. The host was prompt in answering any questions I had prior to renting. We would definitely stay here again.

Lake Michigan Relaxation

Our family enjoyed our stay. The condo is very nice, well maintained, and clean. The complex is well cared for and right on the lake. One note that should be mentioned is that there is no beach when water level in Lake Michigan is high. The owners were easy to work with. We will definitely consider returning if we stay in the area again.

Gorgeous Property

This property was amazing! Right on Lake Michigan. Plenty of room for a family of four. We could fall asleep to the sounds of the waves on the shore. Nice flat lawn for playing lawn games and a short, flat walk out (very few steps) to the beach. Beautiful sunsets every night. Could walk on the beach with seeing virtually no one. Got to see many of the sailboats go by in the Chicago to Mackinaw Island sailing competition when we were there. John and Brigid were very helpful in making sure we could utilize the WiFi service to make it possible for us to work remotely when we had to which was a nice convenience. Plenty of great golf nearby, beautiful biking, hiking in the state park down the road, and just time to sit on the beach and read a book with our favorite beverages in hand. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Northwest Michigan. Thanks again for a wonderful stay.

Clean, inviting, close to water, relaxing

While the local town is charming (we enjoyed the local parade and nearby canoeing), our favorite part of this trip was just enjoying this beautiful rental property. There's plenty of space for a large family, with adorable rustic decore, our favorite room was the upstairs Game room, because of its beautiful view of the lake. There was direct access to the beach, a bonfire area, which we enjoyed both immensely. I highly recommend this property!
