This rental is exactly what we wanted! The beach space was perfect for my family to hang out and play. The house was very clean, spacious, and up to date. I would have loved to have some more information on checkout processes such as with the blankets, sheets, garbage, etc. Overall, it was a great stay and we would love to return!

Nice location & place
Overall, the place was great. Beautiful sandy beach. It is close quarters with everyone sharing the beach but that did not bother us. Everybody was friendly. One shared fire pit. The dock is in very shallow waters so harder to use. Easy communication with the owner. Great laundry appliances. The bathrooms could have been a little cleaner. Not terrible but dust & hair in the corners & behind the door. Regardless, we would stay again.

Beautiful sunset view but not much else to do.
Was disappointed that there was no room or space made for traveler's clothes and food supplies. The fridge had some of owner's food which should have been boxed and moved to a small area of the fridge. Didn't have coffee all week, coffee machine was strange. Freezer and cabinets were full, so we had to use the counter for the things we brought. Was able to only use the middle dock which had a boat and jet skis. This did not leave room to sit or fish off the dock. The sheets did not fit the beds very well and 1 bed had no sheets. The only shower held water, due to not being level. Otherwise, the place seemed clean and was only about 30 minutes from Traverse City.

Overall- a good time
We had a great time at this cottage. I’d love to list the good and the bad (not even bad, just not as expected.) Good: the place is even better in person! The house is great, the lake it beautiful, such a calm and private lake. It also was so nice and on the warmer side so perfect for our toddlers. The house was fully stocked with anything you might need. The ac was nice and cold. But one room didn’t have it. The sand was lovely and such a fun time for my kids. it’s only 45/1hr drives to all the iconic things you might want to do. But careful, bc you have the beach righ outside your door, it’s hard to leave. We truly are so thankful for the owners sharing there home. Fun to be able to bring our little boat! Some of the cons: which aren’t terrible, i just like what I’m getting before booking. The listing is sort of vague. It’s Very Hard to contact the host anytime prior to the trip- although once we were there- he was responsive. 1. The place is a little busy w stuff. Like cabinets, cubbards, freezer, and closets are very full with things and food. Again, not a huge deal, but some homes are empty behind the essentials. And we didn’t have any freezer space. 2. We asked if there was a fire pit- before hand bc i would bring our own if not. He said they did. We didn’t see one when we got there- asked about it. And he said it was outside so we found one but it was the neighbors, we are so sorry to have used it! Turns out it’s like a shared fire pit off to the side two doors down, certainly didn’t feel like we could use it bc the condo that’s in front of it used it each night. 3. This condo is one of like 10/12 condos with a shared beach front. It seems like an old resort center that sold them off and now their privately owned. It still was VERY quiet on we only saw 1-2 other families. But just know it’s a duplex shared a w neighbor, and then possible to have all the other families as well. But a huge plus is there’s a cute swing set and climbing thing for the kids too! 4. The dock was broken and tied off so we couldn’t walk it or fish off it. 5. No directions for check in or check out. 6. The WiFi wasn’t working when we were there, due to the storm, certainly not the hosts fault but sounded like it had been for a couple days and would have loved to know, bc my father in law planned to work. (Just more communication) 7. Bunk bed ladder was broken

Wonderful Cottage on the Lake
We were so happy with everything about this place, a wonderful place to vacation with our 4 kids. The beach was sandy, water was clean and shallow. It is a duplex but the neighbors were kind and we couldn't hear anything through the walls. The fire pit is shared with the other cottages but we enjoyed the company. The appliances were very nice including the gas grill. The covered deck and furniture were wonderful. The only thing I wish we would have had were beach chairs or lawn chairs for around the fire, we used logs that were there. I never asked the owner if they had any, maybe they were there and we overlooked them. Of note, there is no king bed, it's a queen/full in both bedrooms, then a twin-full bunk with a twin trundle in the other bedroom. Perfect for our young family. Overall a great rental and we'd come back. Thank you so much!

Girls beach getaway
Great location if you want a beach getaway. Clean, sandy beach area leading to clear shallow water. Well stocked kitchen, nice back porch area to watch sunrise and sunset. Only complaint is that the floors weren’t swept before our arrival. I swept up a big pile of sand and dog hair which was surprising since it is advertised as no animals allowed. When we blew up our floats in the living room they had dog hair on them. Not a huge deal but if someone has/had animal allergies they would have been affected. I would go back again.

This is our third time coming to this cottage, we love it! I wish we would’ve booked a longer stay. Sitting on the deck watching the sunset is so amazing and peaceful. My kids loved having a beach right out our door and made friends with the other kids. The cottage itself is immaculate and completely modernized. I look forward to our next visit!

House was nice and very clean. Problem was the 2 bedrooms with A.C. units literally became infested each night with 1000s of bugs on ceiling walls blankets. Owner said it's because of the light and we should turn lights off. Also suggested taking out the 2nd story A.C. units...on our vacation. We had to buy supplies and saran wrap the window ourselves to keep bugs out. Actually nice place but do not recommend staying here. Owner apologized but could do nothing

This was the perfect spot to relax with young kids. The beach was perfect and the water shallow and sandy. We could relax under the covered porch just steps from the sand.

Great Cottage
We spent a week at this cottage and, while we didn't have wonderful weather, we had a wonderful time. The cottage was fully equipped with everything you could want. We especially loved the covered lakeside porch which allowed us to be outside even after the rain started. The beach was perfect for our 6 year old and 3 year old grandchildren. The 6 year old loved jumping off the raft, which was moored a perfect distance from the beach. We also enjoyed taking the boat over to Sand Lake Park and letting the kids swing and climb. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioning upstairs was greatly appreciated. The neighbors, when they were there, were very nice and extremely helpful. There were also a lot of possible day trips in the area. We enjoyed Bellaire and Shorts Brewery and the kids loved, the very original, Chalker Park in Kalkaska. Brik, the owner, was very pleasant to work with. We would definitely rent this cottage again.
