The location and views are amazing. Tony was a very good communicator; called right after booking, a week before our stay, and on the first night to make sure everything was going well. Beach is right out the front door. Kids and dog loved it! Beach is shared with community but is huge and there is plenty of room in the middle of the day; in the early mornings it was empty and walks along the water with the dog were serene. House was very clean and well stocked.
Macatawa is super cute with the houses all being very close to each other, but it was very quiet and relaxing. Phone reception was spotty, but wifi was top notch! It was towards the end of the summer season so house could probably use a little maintenance: minor touch up paint, minor toilet repairs, and adding some dimmer switches would be appreciated. One bonus we didn't expect: the gas fireplace; our first night it was cold and rainy and it was pleasant to sit by a warm fire.
