Magical Lakefront Property

This house is incredible! The spacious patio with plenty of seating, fire pit and heaters was our favorite place to be. The interior is beautifully decorated and has everything you could possibly need. Doug was great at communicating instructions and showed us around the property upon arrival. Highly recommend for a family weekend.

Amazing home

It was an amazing home that provided our group with such a fantastic trip. It was an opportunity for our entire group of friends to hang out and visit. We cooked great meals and ate outside. We spent the evening on the monster patio around the fire. We cannot wait to do it again. Doug was an amazing host, and it was great to run into him in town. Thanks for everything!

Outstanding Experience

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and the fine accommodations. Doug Street is an outstanding host who is very easy to work with. The Patio was an amazing place to spend time our adult children and grandchildren. We spent most of our time there and on the beach area just in front of the patio. It was nice to have the properties mooring station in place so we could keep the pontoon boat tied up steps away from the patio.

Waves at the Wonderful Waterfront

Book this property now! We lived on the back deck for the entire week of July 4th. With the outdoor space heaters and the gas fire feature, we drank coffee before the sunrise and stayed out until the wee hours the next morning. Seating for twice the occupancy. Host Douglas Sheets previewed the house and made sure all amenities were available, TP, paper towels, trash bags, salt, pepper, things that we have had to buy at other VRBOs. Worth every penny.

Great place to stay on Lake Michigan

We had a great week stay at the property in Michigan. Wonderful location on the beach - made for great kayaking and swimming. The property was beautiful and Doug was very attentive and great to work with - although we had no issues at all with the stay!

Great getaway for families

We were so happy with this home on Lake Michigan. Being on West bay was delightful because the water wasn’t as rough as the open lake is. The lower deck was our favorite space every day! The two sections where you can walk directly into the water or play on the beach are so good for kids, or adults. The house accommodates big groups so nicely. Douglas was super helpful & tries to make sure anything you need is there. He also has some great restaurant recommendations. Definitely a 10/10 place!!
