This was our second time renting here. Many upgrades in the last year, primarily new deck and stairs. Beach is in perfect condition. Best one we saw nearby during multiple Kayak trips north and south. Kids had a blast in the sand. Bring water shoes for rocks, which is typical for this side of Lake Huron.
The smallest room had a TERRIBLE smell that never went away, coming from the closet. It's clear the renters are aware of the issue, as they had two odor neutralizer tubs in the room, one in the closet, and an opened bar of Irish Spring in the closet. Since they knew about it, and didn't fix it, I wasn't going to spend a bunch of time complaining. I don't know if it was sewer leak or a dead animal, but it was repulsive and strong and constant. I was able to stop the odor from coming into the living area by using winter sheets over the closet door, and jamming excess through the peripheral cracks with a screwdriver. After spending an hour doing my best to stop/seal it, so that it was SAFE FOR MY CHILDREN to breathe, I was able to forget it for the rest of our stay, until I removed my fix to leave. The smell was still terrible when re-opened.
Dishonesty and covering up major sanitation issues limits you to two stars in my world. We won't be coming back. Once Mike gets the smell fixed, it's a great place, beautiful, really. Great neighbors, great property.
