Charming Cottage across the street from the Beach!

Go back in time in this lovely home. The cottage is in a wonderful location for summer fun. You will find yourself across the street from the town beach with a playground, canoe/kayak rentals and a fishing pier. You and your family are also walking distance to tennis and basketball courts, restaurants and soft serve ice cream. The house has three upstairs bedrooms, and one very small downstairs bedroom. There is a large friendly kitchen and a front porch with wonderful views of the water and lighthouse.

Harbor Beach is a working man's town, in addition to our lovely lighthouse there are two factories, There is no real nightlife here, this is a town for family cookouts, enjoying the bike path to the town marina and beyond. It is a place for remembering a simpler time.

Elegant and Charming

Beautiful home tastefully decorated. Had all the amenities we needed for the weekend. Held 7 adults comfortably! What a beautiful view! Right behind the beach. It was December, but we bundled up and watched the sunrise. Also conveniently located, we walked to dinner. The group loved the place, and will definitely plan to book again!

Great location for a sunrise

The house was just perfect for our stay. We had a family wedding to attend. The barn venue was just minutes from the cottage so it made it easy to come and go

Family visiting for a wedding

This would be an ideal property if you were in the area to enjoy all that the region has to offer. We were just visiting for a family wedding that was taking place in both Harbor Beach and Bad Axe and thought it was great. The house was exactly as advertised. We even managed to get in some walks on the pier and some soccer and volley ball on the beach just across the road.

Absolutely wonderful

The home location is perfect for easy beach access. The kitchen is nicely outfitted for cooking for family. All of the rooms were comfortable and we had ample space. The play/art nook was a pleasant surprise. We enjoyed our stay.

Perfect week

The house was very clean and everything we needed was available. We stayed for a week. Had perfect weather and watched the Sunrise every morning. Having the beach and playground across the street was great. This is the second time we stayed at the house and would definitely stay again.

Lovely, comfortable and convenient

We really enjoyed our stay and the many comforts of home. The access and views of the harbor were remarkable and we could easily get around the area. The a/c made a huge difference during a hot week the kitchen had all the necessities and rooms were comfy. We look forward to a return trip!

I walked in the front door and fell in love with the home!

The home was absolutely beautiful! It was well-decorated and REALLY CLEAN—I immediately felt welcome and at home! I loved how close it was to the playground and beach, too! The local “Harbor Fest” happened during the last half of our stay and with the house being directly across from the park where the event was being held, I was worried it would be loud and rowdy. However, I was pleasantly surprised by seeing tons of families with kids, great bands, food trucks, and sweet old ladies selling crafts! The street out front got busy during the event but normally was very quiet. Beach was clean and sandy. Grocery store just outside of town (combined with a gas station) had a good selection. As the owner mentioned in the description, there is a factory in town, but the beauty of the beach and harbor is really the main focus of the town. There is a slight smell from the factory when the wind is blowing from a certain direction—smells a little like barbecue sauce that’s dripped onto the grill but it’s not bad. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would love to return for more beach-side fun and wonderful breezes!!

Beautiful older home immaculately kept. This house is in great location, quiet and peaceful yet great for kids also with the beach and playground across the street. Everything you need is provided, just bring your clothes and food. The host is very quick to respond to any concerns or questions.. Will definitely stay again.

Great get away

The house was exactly as described. Is really close to the beach and enjoyed a beautiful time with family. Everything was provided in the kitchen that we needed and it was a great space for a family get away. The two bathrooms both had showers and the deck on the front was perfect for grilling and hanging out. I would recommend strongly and would rent again. The house was also very clean. There were plenty of towels and cleaning supplies if needed.

Fantastic

We are a group of 5 adult women and the house was extremely comfortable! Beautiful cottage decor. The town of Harbor Beach was delightful. Lots of great restaurants, shopping, and beautiful nature. Everyone we encountered was warm, welcoming, and pleasant.
