Everything was truly perfect. This is the first time I can honestly say the accomodations were better than I anticipated. The house was lovely. The beds were comfortable and if we had kids with us, we would have everything needed for the littles as well.

Best rental we've ever stayed at!

Our stay was perfect! We booked a quick end-of-summer getaway with our kids and the house was in a great location. It’s close to TC and Suttons Bay for food and activities, but honestly you never need to leave this house! The nursery was amazing to have our baby close but in his own room and the kids toys were great. The kids loved the beach and they have everything you need to enjoy the beach! The kitchen was fully stocked, we didn't have to bring anything and were able to easily cook full meals. It was a great stay and would recommend it to others!

Beautiful Home (especially for families!)

Hands down the best rental we have stayed at with kids. They thought of EVERYTHING. It was beautiful and clean and would definitely be back with or without kids! Location was perfect too. Hosts were very kind. We could have just stayed at this house all weekend, done nothing else, and it would have been great. If you have kids (we had babies through 6yo) you need to book this place.

Beautiful home by the sea

Wonderful hosts. Immaculate property. Even had a stunning Christmas tree for our Christmas family vacation. Included so many amenities that we did not have to purchase anything except for food. Chilly time of year for us but we did manage to check out the beach across the road from the home. Beautiful views. Beds were extremely comfortable. Home like atmosphere with a great style of Mid Century Modern thrown in. Nice touches of having a little bit of laundry detergent and personal hygiene amenities with this stay. Plenty of blankets, pillows and towels. Lots of room for kids to play if you had children with you. Fire pit is a great touch. Thank you for making this one of our fondest memories that we will ever have shared together. We will be back!
