Spacious In-Town Family Home, Walk to Beach & Downtown, Quiet Retreat

Designed for families and multi-family stays, this spacious in-town home offers comfort, privacy, and calm just a short walk from Lake Michigan and downtown Charlevoix. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, the home is best suited for thoughtful, respectful guests looking for a relaxing basecamp, not parties or events.

Outdoors, enjoy a private fenced backyard with deck seating, hot tub, hammock, and fire pit for quiet evenings. A front porch with swing, nearby playground, and access to a basketball court and soccer field make this home ideal for families with kids.

Inside, the home offers generous sleeping options, a fully stocked kitchen, and a lower-level game room with ping pong, pool, foosball, and TV — perfect for low-key entertainment after a day at the beach.

Maximum occupancy is limited to 14 guests for comfort, cleanliness, and neighborhood respect. No events, parties, or large gatherings are permitted.

Wonderful property, close enough to downtown to have access to all attractions but far enough away to avoid any heavy traffic.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Andrew was very accommodating however he is in need of a professional cleaning service. Dirty and broken blinds and when we moved the couch in the tv room we found a dead mouse. Having trouble loading the picture of the mouse. Can try again later if necessary.

Kids paradise

We stayed at this property but spent most of our time at my brothers cottage on lake Charlevoix. It is a very nice place with all sorts of entertainment for younger folks and lots of privacy. It is also air conditioned which is not listed among the amenities.
