The Sundowner - Gorgeous Victorian Home Just 1 Block from Beach and Downtown!

Welcome to our charming Victorian beach house, steps from the beach and Main Street in downtown Frankfort! The house comfortably sleeps 9, with 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. New furniture, fresh paint, beautiful landscaping, new bathrooms and lots of nice finishing touches makes it super cheerful and comfortable. With a private back patio, you can relax quietly, bbq, and hang out with friends & family. If you want a bit more action, you can sit on the lovely front porch and people watch.​


NEIGHBORHOOD:

The property is right in the heart of downtown Frankfort! It is just 1 block from Main Street and 2 blocks from the beach. Frankfort has a lovely family and dog-friendly public beach on Lake Michigan and the downtown area has a growing array of shops, restaurants, cafes, a microbrewery (Stormcloud), and a movie theatre (The Garden Theater). There is also a pier that goes out into Lake Michigan and a rather famous lighthouse at the end of the pier. All of this is just a short walk from the house!


THE SPACE:

One of the best features of the house is its location. You are literally a block from Frankfort's amazing public beach, and steps from all the shops, restaurants and activities on Main Street. We have high speed wi-fi, a smart TV, and 2 desks with office chairs in case you need to work remotely. We supply all linens, outdoor grill and even our beach cart, so all you need to do is show up and relax. Also, although the house does not have central air conditioning, there are window air conditioning units in all of the bedrooms.


TRANSIT:

It is suggested that guests have their own vehicle, but since the property is downtown you can just walk around and enjoy yourself without a vehicle.

Great place and location!

Well appointed home and about a block to the public beach! Comfy bed and plenty of seating in the living room for watching tv at night. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and the quality of the pots, pans, utensils are good. Our pup loved the front porch - the fenced yard is nice too.

Enjoyable stay

We throughly enjoyed our stay. This was a perfect place to relax. We arrived to a nicely updated home with a well appointed kitchen and comfortable beds. We also really appreciated the blackout blinds in the bedrooms. The public beach, restaurants and shops are within quick walking distance. The hosts were responsive and easy to communicate with. Thanks for a great stay!

Great location

We enjoyed our stay here! It is a nice large home, clean with updates. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were cute. We loved the coffee options and extras in the kitchen. Our doggie liked the little fenced in area. Such a short easy walk to the beach or downtown shopping and restaurants. Recommend for a big group!

Great rental

The rental was great for what we needed for an last minute trip to Frankfort. Our contact for the rental was quick to return text messages and checked in with us before we got there. Positives: Location was very close to both downtown and the beach. Very clean and had all the necessary kitchen needs plus towels, linens, etc. We had 6 adults, 1 kid and 2 toddlers plus a dog and had plenty of space. The fenced in backyard was nice to have. Kids loved the oversized bean bag in the living room. There were also gates available to block off the stairs for the little ones. Negatives: There was nothing major, just a few minor things. It did smell a little bit like the first floor had been smoked in, perhaps before the renovation but it dissipated very quickly. Around both the showers needs some resealing and paint. The stairs are pretty steep but not completely unexpected in a home of this age. One thing that does need to be changed on the listing is that it no longer has a two twin bedroom. It didn’t mess up our sleeping arrangements but it would have been nice to know. Overall, I would recommend The Sundowner for those looking for a conveniently located and well kept rental in Frankfort.

Family Fun in Frankfort

So much space for a toddler and kids to navigate and spread out in sleeping areas. Everything fun was in walking distance——— beach and restaurants, and the extremely important MOOMERS ice cream!!! Sleeping Bear Dunes near enough to commit a day there and to eat at Boondocks before heading home!!! Beautiful place with the comforts of home to ensure a return visit,

Frankfort House by the Beach

This is a very nice rental property. The house is clean with attractive decor. A very nice kitchen with newer appliances, small but lovely, landscaped and fenced in yard with deck, grill and patio furniture. The thing I appreciated perhaps the most is that the home is nicely stocked with essentials such as garbage bags, paper products, coffee and more. I didn't have to spend my vacation at the grocery store. All this and 1 block from Frankfurt Beach and walkable to downtown and Betsie Valley Trail.
