The location was amazing. The property has its own private beach on the shore of Lake MI and has beach toys, floaties, and beach chairs available. The house is a nice size with comfortable beds. It's a rather old property and could be kept up better, but was fine for what we needed. There is no AT&T cell service along the lake in this neighborhood, but the house has WiFi as listed. Bring your own shampoo and bath soap. They do supply hand soap, dish and laundry detergent and abundant towels (for the beach and bathing). We'd return!

Overall the stay was good with our focus on the lake and surrounding area to explore.
There was ample sleeping space for 11 people. The bedrooms are fine, older furniture with new mattresses. No need to modify these spaces.
The main living space needs the following: new coach and chairs, new kitchen table and chairs, new TV. All of these items are quite dated and, regarding the furniture, dirty/dingy. We spent time around the table with the benches but not the table with the dirty fabric chairs. The indoor/outdoor space off the first floor also needs new cushions on the coach, no one wants to sit on dirty cushions.

The property was just right for us. The owner/property manager was very friendly and greeted us upon our arrival and shared helpful and interesting info about the beach house. It is cozy yet spacious and open. The large kitchen was well stocked. My six full-of-energy grandchildren (ages 4-15) had room to play games and have fun during a rainy morning. The antique pump organ works and was really fun for my musical little ones! The beds were comfortable and the bedding was very nice.
The beach is great for relaxing, playing, kite flying and a nice walk to Oval Beach. Be aware that there are about 80 steps down to the beach.
