Reviewer Comments:
We stayed in Queen Bee and Buzz in for the first time this year. Have stayed in several other Beachwalk properties. The house is big with spaces for everyone. It is well stocked and was as clean inside as can be expected for a beach community resort. Having said that, the exterior of the house needs paint and trim maintenance. Rotting boards and trim on all the porches. Our biggest aggravation was there was zero beach equipment. A group of 12 people with no chairs, no inner tubes, no boogie boards, no kayaks, no noodles...nothing. A beach house on Lake Michigan with no beach equipment is rather ridiculous - especially for $13,500+!! The office said things get broken and stolen and owners choose not to replace them. Question...isn't that what security deposit is for?? Additionally, one of the washing machines didn't work, although it was fixed 3 days into our stay. The grounds around the house were a mess. Tall weeds all around the house along with old leaves from last year that hadn't been blown off the patio, under the deck by basement entrance and all around the screens on the porches. We reported it to the office the first day. They said maintenance should have done that and would be there Monday. They never came. The basement bathroom was pretty bad with mold in the shower, broken tiles and a broken ceiling fan that sounded like a jet taking off. It's a shame because the house has a great floor plan and is well furnished, but because of things listed above, we will not return to Queen Bee.
