This place could not have been more perfect for our family gathering of 17! With 6 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, we all had plenty of space. The large 2nd floor kitchen/eating area seated 12 at the table and 6 at the island, which was perfect for our 11 adults and 6 kids. It also had a large deck on the second floor where we could eat, relax, or enjoy the sunset. It was literally steps from the beach and from downtown Ludington, so we never had to worry about parking.Who would ever think of two dishwashers in the kitchen?! It helped us always stay on top of cleanup. And we took full advantage of both the upstairs and downstairs washers & dryers to do laundry or wash the beach towels, which they provided in abundance, so no need to bring your own. And did you see they added a pool? The kids loved going to both the beach (beach buggy very helpful!) and the pool.Our host checked in to be sure everything was going well or answer any questions. We all cooked breakfast and there were plenty of pans, dishes, glasses, and everything else we needed. Fridges on both floors, and they even provided complimentary canned drinks! We enjoyed walking to House of Flavors (a must for ice cream!), Keeper's Fish Shack (eat outside), and Sandcastles Children's Museum. It was a short drive to pick up and bring back food from Mancino's Pizza & Grinders and BustersQ (awesome pulled pork!), or eat outside at 10 Spot Food Trucks. If we come back someday, we would all 100% love to stay here again!
