This house was close to perfect for us - three families with kids sharing a getaway. We walked to the beach, to the zoo, and to the lighthouse. A short drive to the dunes and outlet mall. Great living and dining space. The big table doubled for evening games. The kitchen worked well - we fixed all our meals at the house. Great to have a dishwasher. The first and second floor sleeping spaces are wonderful. The basement ... is still a basement, and the bedrooms down there are certainly functional, but not as inviting as the others. Very helpful to have three bathrooms! We were very satisfied!

Walk to the beach on Lake Michigan
Home was clean and had everything you need for your stay. Well stocked kitchen, gas grill. Private back deck. Walk to the beach on Lake Michigan and had beach chairs that can be used. The only downfall is there really is no yard for the kids to play in. We spent a lot of time at the beach and had a wonderful family vacation.

Sweet & short weekend stay
Our families second visit to the area and we brought friends along with us this time! Perfect location for us- short trip to the amazing zoo, walked on the pier and the kids loved the beach (even though it was kinda cold& windy), and had an amazing lunch at Dunebillies. The back deck was great and we saw deer on the hill behind us every morning and evening.

Great location
The property was easy to find. It was in close proximity to the beach, the zoo, a large park, and other places of interests. We had a good size group and there was ample space for everyone. Parking was limited but the neighborhood was quiet, and the people around the area were very accommodating it solved our parking issue. Todd was really quick to respond to our inquiries and request.

Would stay again
This was a wonderful family vacation place. My daughter and her husband, my son and his wife, myself (grandma) and my 10 grandchildren had a great time, with plenty of room to sleep. Some of the beds weren’t the best. The queen bed in the loft was like sleeping on the floor according to the couple that slept on it. We took the foam topper off a bed in the basement and put it on the bed in the loft, which helped. The 2 metal bunk beds squeaked so the mattresses were put on the floor. The dryer squealed loudly, so we just made sure to run it only during the day and kept the door shut. The tub and shower in the loft area had some mold on the caulking around the tub and on the shower curtain, which was torn. We loved sitting on the deck, especially in the evening. The house next door had occupants on a couple of the days that we were there, which was no problem until they started smoking marijuana, which drove us indoors. In spite of these things, which I am positive that they will fix now that know about them, our stay was great and we would return.

Family Vacation
The house worked perfectly for our 4 families. The kitchen was exceedingly well supplied. The proximity to the beach was great. We loved the deck and backyard especially the treehouse! The yard could use a little work there is a large limb hanging from a tree that should come down and the deck flowers and beach chairs had been neglected but we cleaned it up and enjoyed all of it. We’ve been staying in the area for 3 years now and we all felt this house served us the best. Thank you Todd!!

Everything was great! We were in a great location for everything we wanted to check out in the area, although we were quite disappointed that the splash pad at the park seems to be shut down, and that was one of the area amenities listed that helped to make our decision. Maybe update the site? Other than that, everyone found something to enjoy! Thanks for having us!

Perfect place to stay
I want to thank Todd and Joy for opening their home to us! It was a perfect location for an out of town wedding spot for our family and friends. The layout was perfect for different people coming and going throughout the week. We even hosted a rehearsal dinner there that was perfect with the outside deck and the kitchen setup. The three levels was great we never felt crowded or even had trouble with everyone getting ready the morning of the wedding. The short walk to the beach was perfect - many trips to the beach for walks without having people in our backyard. Would definitely stay there again and suggest to any family and friends as the perfect place - always felt safe even at night when walking.

Spacious, quiet setting, close to beach, plenty of things to do both in and outside of property. Cabinets fully stocked with dishes and utensils. Temperature cool throughout the house. Cleanliness was a 3 out of 5. Hair left in shower and bathroom floors. Upstairs pull out bed linens had not been changed both hair and dirt present. Wife was not happy with that at all.
