Thank you, Brenda, for renting your amazing beach home to me and my 4 girlfriends! For those looking to stay right on the beach, this is the place!! The setting is spectacular. The front of the home faces a dune preserve and the back of the home sits on a low dune that leads to the clean, beautiful beach. The location really can’t be beat!
The patio was our favorite place to hang out! The home has multiple outdoor seating areas: a pub table height table, a large dining table, Adirondack chairs, reclining chairs AND chairs around the fire pit!
The inside of the house is equally well equipped! So many dishes, beach towels, and pantry staples. The beds were comfy! The 3 bedrooms on the main floor each had a view of the beach and we cracked our windows at night to fall asleep to the sounds of the waves! And we awoke in the morning to two deer literally right outside our windows! The downstairs bedrooms were a bit tighter than I imagined from the pictures but honestly, we spent barely any time in our bedrooms. We hung out in the living room on the huge couch by the fire place, talking and laughing late into the night. I should also add the upstairs bedroom is huge.
Brenda was extremely friendly and helpful, from providing local dining suggestions, to offering a late checkout without us even asking! She also quickly (and happily) answered a stupid question I texted her at midnight about the fireplace pilot light.
One last point: the house was extremely clean! This is always one of the most important factors when we rent a vacation home!
I will definitely return to this house (if it’s not always booked :)). The Fall colors in MI were absolutely breathtaking, but I’m looking forward to returning in the summer with my family to enjoy the beach!
