This is a wonderful place to stay. The beach is beautiful and easily accessible. The home is well appointed and carefully maintained. We have stayed here twice with extended family and it was an absolutely perfect experience. The hosts are readily available and extremely helpful.

Excellent, roomy, super close to the beach
We had three families here for a week, and there was plenty of room for everybody. A short walk to a great beach, too. And a great hot tub. We'll definitely be back.
Perfect girls weekend house! House is clean, beds are comfortable & overall presents as described/pictured. Don't forget to bring toilet paper & paper towels. Chairs are needed for the beach. Beach was very nice & the water clean. Many stairs to reach the beach but, stairs do have rest spots. Hot tub is very large & clean. Booking & communication was easy.
We had a very nice stay - the house is well equipped and nicely furnished. There was a glitch during our stay (no fault of anyone) and the owner was immediately responsive and went "above and beyond" in helping.
We had a great stay in Union Pier. The home was the perfect spot for our multi-generational vacation. The kitchen has what we needed and the beds were ample and comfortable. Location was fantastic as we were just a few minutes walk from a great private beach. We loved the area and would definitely return to the home if we return.
