Definitely could use a good clean, streaks on mirrors, sand and dirt all over the washer, finger prints all over the cupboards, left over old ice. Outdoor tables were dirty.Bedding was great, main bed was very comfortable. The pullout was very nice but could be replaced as it sinks in the middle. Not enough big towels or TP but we appreciated the shampoo and conditioner. The body wash should be replaced as it was separated. As well as the soap dispensers were rusty. Overall I give this a 4 star because you can tell the effort in items for convenience were there! Like sandbox toys, dishware etc. It's a little walk to the beach but it was a great location. New cleaning service is definitely needed but if that changed, overall it was great! Great communication and very friendly!

Close to beach condo

Condo is a great location just steps away from Lake Michigan. Love the access to the beach. Went to pool since my partners parents are club members but technically not included with this condo. Decor is slightly outdated and could use some updates. Pictures were accurate so we knew in advance. We had issue with the water smell and notified owner.

Great Place on the beach.

The condo was clean and in an easy location. Our only complaint is the beds were a little uncomfortable. Just a short walk to a clean private beach. Will hopefully stay there again.

Everything was as described and it was very clean and organized. I especially was happy that I could cook, wash clothes, do dishes, etc. Barry was an excellent communicator and made me feel welcome. Very enjoyable experience. I’m looking forward to next year to stay there. Oh and so close to the beach. I enjoyed my stay very much.

You get EXACTLY what is listed

This place was exactly as listed, down to the number of towels and pillows provided and the check in time. The check in process was a little frustrating. We had asked for an early check in and were told that we would most likely be able to check in by 1pm. We did not get the text that it was ready until 3pm. I wish he would have told us that they would be unable to provide an early check in rather than trying to make it appear that they are accommodating. The space itself is very nice. It feels like a hotel. The beach access is nice and the community is more residential than touristy. There really was nothing wrong with it, they just won’t be able to accommodate any kind of change or addition.

Perfect little get away!

Cute little place, very clean, and a nice bathroom (always my pet peeve, this one is GOOD!) No cons, only some minor inconveniences: - Pool was closed, not sure if because of Covid or what -Beach area patio is for members of the hotel. Chairs in sand are first come, first serve. May want to take a chair to be safe you get one! And people nab them quick! -Bed is super uncomfortable. All in all - great place. Cute, quaint, clean, and close to everything. I definitely plan to book again.

We spent 4 nights in this nice condo! It was very clean and very comfortable. TV’s worked great...

Towels were nice....we are use to a king size bed so the bed was small but comfortable. The only thing I would recommend is getting better coffee “mugs”. We would definitely come back and stay there! Thanks

This is not a "beachfront property" as advertised, it has a wooded view with a small narrow deck. The sunset picture and picture of the pool are not taken from the unit itself. You need to walk to the beach to see the pool and sunset which is close by but not visible from unit. Some of the buildings are beachfront but this building is NOT beachfront. This was disappointing as was one of main reasons I booked it and paid more than I would have for a standard hotel. The unit was very clean though and comfortable, but small. The shower really could use one of those curved shower curtains to allow more elbow room as it is quite tight in there. Also a toaster and oven would have been nice! We could not find a toaster.
