Private Beachfront Lake Michigan Rental w/ Kayaks

Reviews

• Excellent family vacation

  4/5

  We spent three nights at this property and had a terrific time with our family, who all stayed in the house, and visits from several friends during the weekend as well. The house and deck space is beautiful and accommodates 25+ people with comfortable seating for a casual picnic and spectacular views. The kitchen was well stocked. We were allowed to check in a few hours early which we greatly appreciated. We did have a plumbing issue and had to reach out to multiple contacts before connecting with anyone but it was a holiday weekend so that may be why. They did refund us a token amount for being without the third shower during half our stay. The shared driveway is steep and the beach road does not really accommodate parking, so beware and plan ahead if you are bringing a trailer or will have need to park multiple cars. Overall a great stay and a beautiful property--couldn't have been more perfect for our needs.

• Reunion at Pentwater Beach House on Lake Michigan

  5/5

  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.

• Horrible experience

  1/5

  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.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Lauren, we want our guests to arrive at a vacation home that is 100% ready for their stay, so we take cleanliness and comfort seriously. After sending your feedback to the homeowner, they’d like to share the following:
  -The cleaning team was dispatched immediately after you reported the fruit fly issue. They went to multiple stores to get traps and worked to address the garbage left behind by previous guests.
  -We regret that the garbage bins were not easily accessible and understand how that contributed to the fruit fly problem. We are working with the cleaning team to ensure all trash is properly removed before new guests arrive, and that bins are clearly available for guest use.
  -Extra paper towels and toilet paper were provided during your stay.
  
  We appreciate your feedback and want to assure you that we did our best to go above and beyond during your stay by addressing the issues promptly. We're committed to continuous improvement so that future guests have a more seamless experience.

• Amazing Lake Michigan view

  4/5

  This lake house was perfect for our "Girls Trip" of 12 women. So many gathering areas inside and out, where we could all be in the same vicinity to truly be together. We grilled, watched the most gorgeous sunset followed by the Super Blue Moon our 1st night. Enjoyed a trip to Mac Dune rides, shopped, rented a tri-toon on Pentwater Lake, but mostly hung at the house. Some kayaked, as the rest relaxed in the Beach Adirondack chairs under the umbrella, sipping beverages. The home had everything we needed and is well furnished. It was a great 3 day get-away to reconnect.
