Horrible experience
When we arrived the garage was full of the last guests garbage, leaving the house with hundreds and hundreds of fruit flies. We spent the entire trip fighting a fruit fly infestation. The garbage bins were nowhere in sight for our use. There was 1 roll of paper towels and 3 garbage bags supplied for our three day stay with 11 family members and it was not mentioned in the listing that we needed to provide our own. We were uncomfortable with bugs the entire time and did not relax like we would have liked to, traveling with young children. Worst rental experience we’ve ever had, especially for how much it cost.

Reunion at Pentwater Beach House on Lake Michigan
16 family members gathered for a reunion at this beautiful beach house on Lake Michigan. The house was bright and clean with stunning views of the private beach on Lake Michigan. We went kayaking, played games, had fires and shared memories while watching gorgeous sunsets. The house was well supplied inside and out and we only wish we had a few more days to stay.

Beautiful View
Communcation beforehand was fantastic. Beautiful location. Beautiful, well kept house. So close to the dunes. Beautiful beach, wonderful area. 5 stars. However, due to no service in the area, things got a little frustrating when we arrived. The driveway is very steep and shared with permanent residents. We werent able to fit our trailer by a long shot, even though I had reached out to make sure it would. We were making the trip to specifically spend some time riding the sand dunes. Couldnt reach out to home contact to solve the problem (no service). With the help of some locals, we found a place to park our trailer. The first few hours were frustrating. The rest of the trip was fantastic. Expect no service as you get closer to the house. GPS went nuts. 4 stars! Would stay again! able to fit our trailer in the driveway

Family Weekend
Overall great stay! Beautiful Beach, Deck and House! The home was very clean and inviting upon arrival! A few minor things, the air conditioning and WiFi do not work the best. (Maybe because the house is so large). Great outdoor furniture but the furniture with cushions were old and dirty. There was a very bad smell in the laundry room. For the amount of guests the house holds not enough toilet paper, paper towel and garbage bags. Our overall trip was super fun!!! Great communication with the owner and manager!

Amazing family vacation!
The home was beautiful and very well stocked with everything we needed. We really appreciated all the beach items! The steep driveway was a little tricky to navigate with our 12 passenger transit van, especially if a car tried to come up the driveway while we were coming down. (The cleaning ladies got stuck and had to call a tow truck.) My only issues with the home were the bedroom doors were tricky to keep closed. The latches were very finicky. Also the beautiful bathtub was not useable due to the plug not working correctly. That was a bit of a bummer. We also had a unique experience with the 6-8 flying squirrels that live in the tallest point of the roof. While sitting on the deck every night the squirrels would swoop down near us and fly between the trees. Scared us at first, but then they were quite entertaining!

Beautiful, powdery sand beach
The house is beautifully decorated and comfortable. We had some stressful moments (local contact information was wrong and it took some time to get it updated) and on arrival there was a plethora of flies (inside and out), most likely due to rain, that really gave us all pause. The propane tanks were also both empty which added to the irritation since we had planned to get settled and grill our dinner. After a call to the contact and a run to the local gas station for a tank exchange (which we were reimbursed for) we were finally able to relax a bit. The beach itself is wonderful and quiet! It was super windy so we were unable to take advantage of the fire pit but I'm sure it provides many memorable times for those who can use it. Our family ended up having a good time despite the rocky start. There are a few things that surprised us given that we were renting so early in the season (door hinge issue and a trash drawer that self-opened) but all in all it was a positive experience. I think some of the issues we experienced were due to the property having just switched to a new cleaning crew so more learning curve than deliberate. For awareness: MANY of the local restaurants are closed on Monday and Tuesday even during the summer.

Friends Getaway Weekend
We came for an April weekend getaway with a group of 18. We were likely the first group since the end of the fall season. The location and home were terrific, and the reservation was smooth. The views are spectacular and the house is an easy drive to both Pentwater and Ludington. Our only concerns were these: Since we were the first after the winter, we were met with mouse droppings on two of the beds in the lower level, but no recent activity of mice. We were instructed to change the linens upon reporting the problem. We also had to clean out a very rotten bag of potatoes from the kitchen that was emanating quite a nasty odor. The rest of the home was well-appointed and very clean. I was just disappointed that there had not been a deep clean for any potential over-winter problems that may have cropped up (such as the ones we found). Next, the gravel driveway is very, very steep, so a small sedan may have trouble getting up to the house. I did not recall seeing that noted in the description. Neither of these issues prohibited us from enjoying a lovely stay with plenty of fun and fellowship in this gorgeous location!

The property is gorgeous and greater than the photos. Only one small detail the tub in the upstairs bathroom was not able to stop water from draining to be able to take a bath. Other than that it was amazing, peaceful,welcoming and perfect for our group.
