Had issues at check-in with house not been cleaned which delayed our check-in. Third Coast did provide a credit. Thank you. House was spacious for our large group and conveniently located to towns and beaches. lots of options to get out and explore. Listing says space for 5 cars but email 2 days before checking stated 2 spaces. Given our large group we needed more than 2 so get that squared away ahead of time

We loved this home! Lots of space, beautiful setting, well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. It’s a lovely walk to the lake and the beach was beautiful; quiet and clean.

Plenty big enough and a beautiful home in a great location. The walk to the beach was unexpected uphill through the woods, but scenic. The hot tub was nice as well. We enjoyed our stay.
Craig - Posted: 9/25/2025

The Blackberry Dunes house was beautifully designed and decorated, and was very well stocked with the little comforts which are so often missed in a rental home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found the setting to be peaceful and serene. The spectacular September weather allowed us to spend time around the fire pit and on the patio and screened in porch, all of which provided very comfortable seating. Was very comfortable for our group of seven adults.
Janet - Posted: 9/17/2025

Beautiful place. We enjoyed ourselves and wished we had more time to spend at the house.
Brian - Posted: 9/1/2025

A beautiful home with access to a private beach. A great stay for large family groups with responsive helpful hosts. We’ll be back!
Quinn - Posted: 8/18/2025

The house was even better than the pictures. Extremely well stocked kitchen, quiet neighborhood and short walk to the beach. We’d absolutely stay here again!
Taylor - Posted: 8/8/2025

Even better than the pictures! Beautiful home, clean, family friendly, and great town for taking kids and enjoying a quiet retreat. This kitchen was amazing, and fully stocked. My kids loved the basement games and entertainment. Hot tub was clean. Overall great stay and will be back!

Blackberry Dune retreat

We had a lovely stay at Blackberry Dune in Harbert. The home was beautiful and thoughtfully appointed with every amenity you could need. During a summer heatwave, we especially appreciated being just a short walk from the stunning beach and refreshing waters of Lake Michigan. The walk was a bit of a workout, but absolutely worth it! We cherished the quality time spent with our adult children—playing games, sharing meals, and unwinding with good books. A peaceful and memorable getaway.

The home is beautiful and just a short walk from the beach. The kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked with everything you need. The basement is great for kids to play and the front and back patios are great for just relaxing. We loved our short stay!

Amazing home, fun for families

We had such a fun time in this beautiful home. The beds are so comfy and sitting in the hot tub at the end of the day was relaxing. We played cards, made breakfast and had a lot of laughs with our kids. I highly recommend! The beach is private which added an extra plus for this new home.
