Nice Place, Great Location!

Met up with out of state family at this cute accommodation, 6 adults. House was clean and well stocked with linens, & cooking utensils. Very convenient, walking distance to shoppes, restaurants and the beach! CVS across the street, BP gas station 2 blocks away yet very little traffic noise. Worthy of 5 stars⭐️

Early Bird!

We loved this cute house right off Main Street. We learned quickly that it’s a great idea to rent a golf cart to zip around town instead of driving. Because the location was right “downtown”, there was a lot of early action….trash trucks, supply trucks and lawn mowing. If you have kids, this is the place! Lots of twin beds. Would highly recommend!

Great location and super comfy

Small and quaint house but great distribution of space and very comfy. Five single beds on top floor, queen and day bed on bottom floor that sleep two each. You can fit 9 people ver comfortably. The kitchen is a nice size and fully equipped and the dinning table is round which is perfect for great conversation. We had a wonderful time at the property and it’s location can’t be beat with walking distance to the famous cafe Max and shopping. Draw backs: no closets or place to hang clothes. Only One bathroom which can be tricky with a large group. However, an easy fix would be to privatize the shower doors and then you could have five people using the bathroom at once. My friends and I will definitely go back!

Location of property was great. Within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Would recommend a bar of soap for the shower but other than that it was very clean and comfortable. I would stay there again. Thanks for the stay.

Perfect stay

What a lovely place, nicely located, decorated and super clean. We had a great stay! A slight issue arose that the owner, Susan, (who by the way was out of the country on vacation at the time) was very prompt and helpful to address the issue and in no time, our issue was no more and our relaxing stay was uninterrupted. Worth every penny, we'll be back!

Wedding weekend in Culver

This home was the perfect spot for my bridesmaids and I for my wedding at Culver Academies. The home had plenty of space for lot of people to stay and never felt cramped. The home was beautifully decorated and we even took amazing hair/make up photos. Should I ever need to rent a place in culver again, this home will be at the top of my list!

Nice House Close to Downtown!

We stayed there parents weekend of 2021 visiting sons at the academy. The house was exceptionally clean and appointed with just about every essential item one would need. Location is walking distance to downtown restaurants, shopping and beach park, the academy is a short 5 minute (or less) drive. Thanks so much for allowing us to utilize your house!

Culver Academy Graduation class 2020

Check in was easy. Manager was wonderful and very helpful Sue was an absolute pleasure to work with. Loved the house, decor and location. We had multiple activities to attend on the Culver campus; we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. Easy access to restaurants, pharmacy, the beach and campus. Thank you, would absolutely recommend this property.

Great Lake get away for the family

This property was extremely clean and well maintained on the inside. The space was nice and actually had 8 beds that slept 9 people. The bathroom was amazing. It was nice to have doors on the toilet and shower so the rest of the room could still be in use. Our stay was extremely comfortable and enjoyable. There was close easy access to the lake and downtown areas and restaurants. It allowed for great walks and bike rides. The kitchen made it easy to cook meal from home. There was a slight leak in the skylight over the toilet when it rained one night. The back door does not close properly without much force. We did not realize this and my 2 yr old escaped and walked outside unnoticed because of this. The outside of the house does need some TLC as some of the siding is missing. It would have been nice if there was a driveway to park in. The upstairs bedroomS we a great size and very comfortable, but even with the AC vents, they did not cool down well. The price was great and my family had a wonderful time! I would absolutely rent from her again!
