This was the perfect destination for a girls trip!

Lots of space and comfy beds in this seemingly brand new home. Two indoor options for dining. Two living room areas for games, movies, and conversation. Well-equiped kitchen. Lots of labels on everything, in keeping with a corporate-managed, short term rental. Beautiful backyard with mature trees. Appreciated the beach toys, volleyball, art supplies, books, and family games. They don't provide kleenex. Would stay here again!

We loved our stay at this property! It was easy to feel at home with everything clearly labeled, the home well stocked, and plenty of supplies for the beach & fire nights. Our children especially loved the Legos and fun games. The home itself is extremely clean and has more than enough space for our large family. The location is quiet while being near to Union Pier & New Buffalo. We absolutely loved our stay here and will be back!

We LOVED our stay here with our three young kids. This house had everything! From Legos, coloring books, and dolls/stuffed animals for the kids to play with to the heated/light-up toilet seats - everything was so well organized and labeled. I appreciate how pristine and clean the house was as well. We especially loved hanging out in the sunroom after the kids went to bed. What a gem of a rental! We will be back!

A Serene Stay We Cannot Wait to Repeat!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this thoughtfully designed home in Union Pier. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every detail had been carefully considered to create both comfort and style. The natural light throughout the house is beautiful, making every space feel warm and inviting. One of our favorite aspects was how spacious the home felt. There were plenty of areas to spread out, which was perfect for relaxing with a book or taking a quiet moment away when needed. The master bedroom is especially impressive, set apart from the other bedrooms to create a peaceful, private retreat. The kitchen was a joy to use, with amenities that made cooking easy and enjoyable. Outside, the backyard firepit quickly became a favorite gathering spot for roasting s’mores and unwinding in the evenings. The street itself is quiet and serene, adding to the overall relaxing atmosphere. The daily highlight was watching the sunset at the beach. The provided beach chairs were a thoughtful touch, and the nearby beaches are absolutely beautiful. A visit to the Galien River is a must! It’s a perfect spot to explore and take in the natural surroundings. Overall, this home exceeded our expectations in every way. We would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and well-appointed getaway.

Great place! Very clean and beautiful home. The sunroom was beautiful and added a lot of extra space for us. There were plenty of beach chairs, towels, and even an umbrella for the beach. We had everything we could have needed and the location is quiet. We also enjoyed the backyard space.
10/10!
