Summary: Plenty of room for a family gathering. Everything was perfect.

Summary: If you're looking for an interesting isolated property close to the beach, this is an awesome venue. Outside was very peaceful and the stars at night are beautiful. Only thing missing was some cleaning stuff like dish sponges and paper towels.
Diane S. Aug 14, 2024 06:42:55 PM
Summary: Family vacation in the Port Austin/Grindstone area for 16 family members. Love the area, the beaches and the house was just perfect. Ryan, the host, is great to work with.

Summary: First let me begin by sharing: This was my first time renting a property through VRBO. It was my first time renting from anything other than a hotel or motel. It was an AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Communication. prior to our arrival was prompt, thorough, and excellent. The property itself was WONDERFUL! Pictures and written descriptions cannot possibly completely describe what awaits you. It is so SPACIOUS! Bedrooms, play rooms are all incredibly large and the main floor is like a ballroom. We spent a lot of our time together on the deck or in the garage just enjoying the ambiance and the quiet. The owner is very friendly and super service minded. I accidentally butt dialed him on our first evening in the property as I was putting contact information into my phone. Within minutes he texted to find out if we needed anything. I have to say, Ryan has set the bar as a host pretty high! Departure from the property was simple and easy as well. When I asked if there was anything else we could do, his response was: No. You're on vacation; enjoy yourselves. Truly a most gratifying experience with regard to the property, its owner, and the geographical area that we got to enjoy and explore for a week!
Lori C. Jun 24, 2024 02:57:47 AM
Summary: We all had a great time! The space was perfect for 6 couples. Communication with Ryan ,the host, was easy and response was quick. We would definitely stay here again!
Margaret C. Jun 6, 2024 12:59:19 AM
Summary: This house was a great find. There were 10 of us staying. Everyone has plenty of space for privacy as well as socialization. Our host was extremely kind and responsive. We were able to visit two beaches - Port Austin and Caseville. We enjoyed our stay.
