The house was beautiful, spacious, and in an excellent location—so close to everything! Liz was a wonderful host and made our stay so easy and enjoyable. The only thing we’d note is that the bed was a bit too firm for our preference, but everything else was absolutely wonderful. We truly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others. Thank you again!

Beautiful Beach House

We had the best time in this welcoming cottage. This house has orginal touches, plus new updates. The house book had every answer to any question. Liz was always in contact with us and reachable.
I loved this door. The etched glass is beautiful.

We loved our stay at the Sullivan Summer House! The home was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Check in was a breeze. The kitchen was amazing, including an instapot and waffle maker. The beach umbrella and beach toys were a big plus too. The shady backyard and outdoor furniture made for a great hang-out space. The location was ideal for walking to the beach and to town. The host was super helpful and always quick to respond. We would definitely stay here again!

Fun in Manistee

We enjoyed a long weekend at this charming rental home. It’s all about location as it’s a short walk to First Street Beach, downtown Manistee and the Riverwalk. The house has a fun beach vibe, decorated in charming style and equipped with all that you need. We loved the upstairs bunk room with the TV and DVD player. It’s a nice large space for the grandkids to have fun and spread out. We especially enjoyed our hike at Magoon Creek and the best Lake MI beach. Thank you for sharing your home and your great little city!
