Terrible storm

We experienced a terrible storm on 8/27. A tree fell on the house we were at, some trees fell around the property and we were without power starting around 10pm Tuesday 8/27 and throughout Wednesday. We left the property Wednesday morning… a tree fell on our car and required assistance of someone to cut away the tree before we could move it. Some damage was done to the car but it was drivable could we we get a refund for the remaining days that we could not stay. Wednesday and Thursday. Or a credit for future use.Thank you

Little piece of Paradise

The moment we walked into this home , we knew it would be a great week. This home has so much space for our family ( 6 adults and 4 children). It is well equipped with all the necessities . The outdoor shower was a hit - getting all the sand off before going in the house . The screened in porch is HUGE. The walk to the beach is easy and the littl park on the way was a great pit stop for the kids. The house is walking distance to town and even the Saturday farmers market . The owner was kind and so quick to respond . Our whole family loved this house , the little community and the private beach. We booked it for next year already

Another great week by the lake

This was our second time staying at this house. The layout is perfect for our family of 12. There are enough rooms for kids and adults to stay and the downstairs master is great for my elderly parents. We really like this house because it is well equipped and it has access to the private Gordon Beach. We hope to be back in the future.

Lovely home on gracious grounds

We spent a week here with extended family and had a perfect experience. Though we were familiar with Union Pier, the house provided us with an opportunity to enjoy a week together with plenty of space for shared meals, conversations, games, beach time, and gathering around the fire pit at night. Great location, too!

Gordon Beach Vaca

This property does not disappoint!! We have rented several properties over the past 15 years. This is one of our favorites! The huge screened in porch provided a great place to gather and play games together. The beach is a short walk through the beautiful neighborhood. House was super clean. Laura was an excellent hostess and quickly responded to any questions. We look forward to visiting Gordon Beach next summer! Thanks for a great week!

Best Ever!

This house checked all the boxes - plenty of room, a fantastic screened-in porch, good yard for playing outdoor games and an outdoor "cabana" for washing off beach sand. The whole family loved it.

Perfect for our extended family

We had a terrific week in Union Pier. The house was a wonderful fit for our family consisting of two couples, 6 kids and grandparents. The house was close to the beach and the town. We especially appreciated the access to the private Gordon beach - particularly over the busy weekend. The house was roomy enough for everyone to spread out and we enjoyed the patio and covered porch. I think the house photos actually undersold how nice everything was. Laura was very communicative and responsive throughout the week. We can’t wait to return next year!

Fabulous Beach Vacation

Paul and Laura’s home is well designed for comfortable family gatherings and positioned well for beach activities on Gordon Beach. The large porch fit everyone and allowed our grandchildren space to roam. Great kitchen with plenty of what we needed to serve as many meals as we wished! Highly recommended.😊
