Weekend family getaway
The location of this house right on the beach was absolutely amazing! You are only 1 house away from the public beach so you don’t feel completely isolated but also have your own private beach access and beach front. The kayaks and paddle boards available to use came in handy. We brought our own beach canopy to have shade otherwise it would have been too hot to sit down there. We were extremely happy with the beach!
We had an 8 month old and 3 year old with us, including 7 adults. There were plenty of rooms and beds for everyone to sleep comfortably. There was even a crib in the upstairs master.
Here are a few of the downsides:
- The house is completely full of sand. If you are walking barefoot it’s inevitable especially because the property is right on the beach. Nothing that you can really do but it felt like the floors weren’t cleaned well before we arrived.
- The kitchen has old appliances that feel like they’re going to break. The fridge was teetering and almost fell over until we put something underneath it to stabilize the legs. The dishwasher barely cleaned the dishes - speaking of dishes everything was plastic and scratched up. It just felt like we paid a lot of money for this house and we end up eating on plastic dishes that don’t even fully clean. We weren’t happy with that.
- There was a huge storm on our last night, tons of rain and wind. Well, the upstairs and downstairs patio doors that lead to the balconies started leaking water pretty heavily into the doorway. Luckily it didn’t get our stuff wet but we had to put towels in the doorway to soak it up. My 8 month old niece was sleeping in a pack n play literally next to the door that was leaking. How horrible if the rain started pouring in! This is an immediate safety issue that has to be addressed!
- Another safety issue is that the hot water in the upstairs shower would go from freezing cold to burning hot and took 15 min to adjust to a good temp - NOT safe esp when trying to shower young kids. There were broken lightbulbs on the stairsteps leading down to the beach, rusted and loose nails found scattered on the deck. It honestly felt like the owners didn’t care and just started renting out their property. There were 0 reviews when we booked and still none. I believe we were the first to stay for their 3 night minimum and now they’ve changed it to 7 nights minimum.
Bottom line - if it weren’t for the beach and the beautiful Lake MI, this house is not worth $1200/night.
