Short but very sweet

We were in the area for a wedding but this home and location made it fun for all. Having access to the beach was awesome for all of us, especially the kids. The game closet was great, too. The adults got into the hot tub one evening. All in all a lovely stay.

Ideal Lake Michigan Location

This was our family’s second stay at Sunsets on Sherman and it was, again, a great vacation. The home has everything we needed and the location is just a short walk to Lake Michigan. The owners, Valerie and Sean, communicated with us well, and even made sure we knew about the local fireworks.

Beautiful lake house

The property was well maintained and stocked with "cottage" necessities. The location was nice and quiet yet close to Lake Michigan. The hosts were very accommodating and let us move back our check out time since the kids and grandkids had a later flight departure time. Had a great time and the weather was very cooperative.

Best rental

Everything about this rental, including the owner’s communication, was by far the best rental we’ve ever stayed at. It was obvious that this is not just a rental but a very cared for home. Anything needed for the beach was there. We were so pleasantly surprised. Thanks for sharing your place with us! Our family had an amazing time!

Best location

The whole place was very warm and inviting. Love the fact that is was a couple minute walk to the beach which was not crowed and clean, great place for your dog to run and play and minutes away for any attraction like the submarine museum, light houses and fishing. Owners texted me the day before and said we can come before check in time and text me again stating no rush to check out due to no renters behind us which was nice to chill in the morning before packing up and headed out the door. I can not wait to go back

Summer family vacation

The cottage and location were great, this would have been five stars across the board except there was a plumbing issue the owner was unable to resolve prior to checkin which resulted in non stop dripping water in the main floor shower/tub.

Wonderful Beach House

I went on this trip with my family of 5, my mom and brother. There was plenty of room for us and the house was so cute with the beach decorating. The house was very clean. they had beach chairs and toys for the kids which worked perfectly at the beach. It is right across the street from one beach and right down the street from the Pere Marquette. We loved the house and trip, would go again!

Sunset on Sherman

The house was very spacious and provided all the necessities we needed (especially the beach equipment). The property was a 2 min walk to the beach and another beach was just a short 5 minute drive with the Deck restaurant close by. The owners did a great job communicating and were available as needed. We would definitely come back!

We had a wonderful time at Sunsets on Sherman!

We had a fantastic stay at Sean and Valerie’s place. The house was perfect for our needs. Plenty of space for our family. Beautiful back yard that we used for playing yard games. The hot tub was a lovely bonus. So close to the beach - just a short walk or a bike ride to the larger beach. The kitchen was nicely outfitted as well which allowed us to cook most of our meals at home and we enjoyed eating together on the back deck. All around just great!

Great summer week with family

We had a wonderful time with our kids and grandkids at Sunsets on Sherman. The stay could not have been better. The home is beautiful and easily accommodated 10 of us - from age 66 to 10 months. The hosts provided plenty of entertainment for the youngsters, and they especially enjoyed running around in the backyard. The home is a short walk away from the shore of Lake Michigan, and everyone enjoyed being on the beach and in the water. There’s also a nearby park where the kids enjoyed playing. It has pickle all courts for the adults, too. There’s plenty to do in the community as well. Everyone had a great time and we hope to return again. The hosts were outstanding and made sure that everything was going well during our stay.

Great Beach Vacation

We stayed during 4th of July week and had a fantastic time. The house is even better than pictured and has basically everything you could need on vacation (we packed things we didn’t end up needing because the house had them). The deck in the backyard is great for eating and hanging out, as is the basement. The bedrooms are all comfortable. The only bummer was that the stairs are washed out at the beach across the street. You can still get to the beach if you are able bodied, but it was tricky carrying a baby and with my elderly mom. On the plus side, Pere Marquette beach is less than 5 mins in the car and is a great beach with no bluff/dunes to worry about. Any questions we had, Valerie was quick to answer and super helpful. Overall, this is a great house, with a great host and I’d recommend to anyone looking for a beach vacation.

Wonderful family vacation at Sunsets at Sherman

Family fun in the large backyard. Our little grandson enjoyed playing out there! Day trips to Grand Haven, Holland, Windmill Gardens, Lewis Adventure Farm and Zoo and Michigan Adventures were so much fun. Eating out at The Deck on Pere Marquette beach was great and a unique experience. Be aware that there was not much of a beach view out the front window/porch, but it was only a short walk to it. Also, going to the dog beach is quite a steep climb down and up the dune. There are no steps. The house was very clean and has just about everything needed. The owners were attentive and even offered us a small refund because the fridge downstairs was not working properly. The hot tub was great and used almost each evening by the adults. A wonderful family trip!

Excellent vacation house near everything

I can’t recommend this property enough! From the minute we booked, the hosts were in constant communication for any questions prior to arrival. The check in instructions are exceptionally simple and effective. The house was cleaned a few days in advance of our arrival and she even texted me to ask if we wanted to arrive earlier in the day but sadly we couldn’t. The house itself had to be one of the best stocked homes we’ve ever stayed in. It has available everything you’d need, from kitchen spices and appliances to indoor and outdoor toys, even an air compressor in the garage for blowing up large beach inflatables. The hot tub was greatly enjoyed by all of our family and we especially loved the easy beach access. A parking pass was provided for the paid parking areas, which was really thoughtful. You can walk down the sidewalk in front of the house and go through the fence trail to the beach or drive your car around the bend on the other side of the street and park near the stairs. We really enjoyed the trail for all of the wildlife watching and enjoying the view of the water from up high. The stairs going down to the sand are relatively new and in great shape. The house itself is located at the end of a quiet dead end street next to a park, so virtually no traffic. Check out process was very minimal and simple. My whole family agrees that this was one of our best trips.

Wonderful place to stay for a family!

We came to Michigan to stay for a week to visit family. The house was well equipped and had everything we needed for our stay. There were tons of games to play with the kids in our downtime. The yard has beautiful grass and we enjoyed playing bags, cooking out, and the hot tub. We celebrated my 4 year olds birthday on the 4th of July! There was no beach view out the front window/porch as stated in the description, but it was only a short walk to the beach down a walking path and boardwalks to get to the beach. We also went to beautiful Pere Marquette beach only a short few minute drive and I was thankful to have a parking pass provided by the owners. The neighborhood is nice and neighbors were so kind. We enjoyed the pet friendly beach almost every day we stayed. The owner was amazing and attentive. They even sent me a small refund because the downstairs fridge would not get cold and replaced immediately for the next guest. You can tell they love and care for their rental home.

A clean and well maintained beach house!

My family of 6 adults, 1 infant, 1 toddler and 1 dog loved our stay at Sunsets on Sherman! The home is very convenient to several different beaches and playgrounds. Having 3 full baths was key for us as it made it possible for each family to have their own. But most important to me was how clean, well maintained, well organized and well appointed the home was (toys, games and beach gear galore!). I also appreciated how responsive and helpful the host was. We had an excellent experience!
