As always it was a wonderful visit at the Pentwater house... This was my 5th Year renting this place..The cottage was clean and had supplies for the renters use... There was one issue with the back bedroom, it didn't seem to be as clean and fresh as it usually does..The back patio area and the fire pit area is great.... Dinners, cocktails, and bonfires..I'm truly hoping I'm able to stay at the Pentwater house next year..

Wonderful stay

Communication with Rick was great! We forgot a few items at the end of our stay, Rick reached out and made sure we got our items back. The house was very clean.

Pentwater Visit

We have stayed here three times and found the house located close to the beach, marina, and downtown. The owner contacted me to make sure that we had all of the information that we needed to enjoy our visit.

As always, our stay at the Pentwater House was wonderful! An issue did arise that needed the homeowners attention and he was quick to respond, get the issue handled and communicated with me through all of it. This was our third stay at the Pentwater House and I’m sure we’ll be back again someday!
