This is a great house. It had everything we needed for a wonderful beach vacation. Beds and furniture are comfortable and in great condition. Kitchen was well stocked but not over crowded like some rentals. The large screened in porch was perfect for large family dinners. We enjoyed the bocci ball court most evenings. Gas fire place is real plus. We’ll be back.
Gorgeous home, very new and clean with great layout and amenities. Space for everyone and really well appointed. The common spaces, both inside and out, are great for gatherings. The bedrooms are spacious, quiet and really comfortable. Kitchen and bathrooms are high end. Private beach is a couple of blocks away. Owners are great communicators and very nice people.
This house was great! Very clean, felt brand new, perfect for a large group! Spent most of our time in the back screened in porch and the front yard. Great communication throughout the booking process too!
Great place to stay Ellen and Todd are the best host. They answer any issues right away when you call will stay here again. Thanks for a great place for my family to stay.

Our family had a wonderful stay at this property. Everything was exactly as described and this was a great location near both the beach and nearby towns.
We had an amazing time, the owners thought of everything that made our stay so great! I would highly recommend staying at this property! Thanks for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!
I encourage you to check out this place if you are planning a trip to SW MI. All who attended our group trip enjoyed their stay at this new home in Lakeside.
We really enjoyed our recent stay. The house was very clean, and in a great location. Close to so many Harbor County attractions. Can’t beat the short walk to the beach either. We’ll definitely visit again soon.
Excellent amenities and space for the entire extended family. Lots of gathering spaces and a short walk to a very private beach space. This was a highlight with the beach area itself being free of rocks and lots of sandbar space.
Highly recommend this rental for family gatherings.
Great house in a great location. Communication with the owners/managers was easy and they are very responsive. The property is beautiful and very clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
An amazing house that would be great for a family or couples getaway. Everything we needed. Easy walk to the beach. Our kids absolutely loved the bocce court. Fire pit and grill were awesome.
We had a really great time here.This house is absolutely amazing.Nice location, super clean and spacious.
The host was really nice and reached out a couple of times with some helpful tips and instructions before our arrival.
We will definitely try to visit again and highly recommending it to everyone.
This is a lovely property for family vacations. We had our two daughters and their families. 6 adults and 6 children. The house has everything we needed. It is clean and well organized with beach chairs, toys and a great Lily Pad!! The kids loved the bunk room!!
The neighborhood is very quiet, a short walk to the stairs down to the beach. Lots of stairs but not a problem!
We loved our vacation home and will be back!!
Our family's new favorite place! Everything about this home was was perfection...the cleanliness, the location, the excellent and kind communication with Ellen and the fact that every detail was thoughtfully considered for guests. Our kids are aged 15-23 and their reactions as they walked into the home were priceless. We enjoyed quality family time playing bocce ball on the turf, s'mores by the fire pit, and games in the beautiful porch. The home is surrounded by beautiful trees and felt very safe, a peaceful getaway for our busy family. The beach is just a short walk and was truly beyond our expectations! Our first night we arrived in time to see the most beautiful sunset and each day we enjoyed time at the beach. The sand is soft and the water clear and the home had beach chairs, a wagon, and a Maui mat for guests to use. Coming down the stairs and seeing the beach will always be a special memory, it is magical!The Lakeside area is ideal for a peaceful getaway. Our daughters enjoyed getting coffee at the Whistle Stop each day and we loved that it was not a busy area and yet only a short drive to restaurants, grocery stores and Warren Dunes State Park where we enjoyed a beautiful hike. We loved this home so much that we extended our stay and our kids asked if we can make this a place we visit again and again. I give my highest recommendation to anyone, it was the perfect home for our family getaway and we are so grateful we found it!
We had a wonderful stay. We had three families with young children and they house couldn’t have been more perfect. They house has a wonderful layout and the accommodations were everything we could have wanted plus more! The kids had a blast on the bacci ball court! Thank you Ellen for sharing your beautiful home! We will definitely be back!
We had a great time! The location is perfect, just a short walk to the beach. The house is well laid out & we (incl. kids 4-13) enjoyed the screen porch & bocce ball court. It is well appointed with a lot of little extra conveniences - containers for food leftovers, shampoo, laundry detergent, beach towels, games for rainy days. Even a splash pad! We hope to make this an annual tradition!
A great three day weekend stay with our sons and their family. Although it rained, the house had plenty of room for group TV viewing, games and gourmet cooking. We found the home to be stocked with all that we needed for a fun filled family get together. It has a nice layout and everything is essentially brand new. The setting is perfect--the high windows in most of the rooms give such a lovely view of the trees. We couldn't have had a better time.
