Cozy Sawyer Apartment - 2 Mi to Warren Dunes Park!

Reviews

• Weekend Getaway

  5/5

  It was a perfect apartment for a weekend getaway to the MI beaches for our small family of 3. It was close enough to explore New Buffalo, Three Oaks, and Warren Dunes State Park, but a little removed to make it a peaceful stay. We loved the convenience of having two restaurants, a coffee shop, and an outdoor bar just steps away.

  We had one little hiccup with a window AC unit not working, but it was replaced within a few hours of us messaging to let them know.

  Our door code given didn’t work and I had to call to get an alternatenumber. The apartment seemed smaller than the pictures appeared and coulddefinitely have been cleaner. The location was excellent!

• Weekend Beach Getaway

  4/5

  My husband, daughter, and I came up from Indy to spend a long weekend on the beach before the summer came to an end. We pulled up to the address and were surprised to see it was on top of a supermarket. We did arrive one hour early and walked into the market letting them know of our arrival. They were confused that new tenants were there for Unit #1. I showed them my email confirmation and they got on the phone with the property manager. The manager took some time to review his expected arrivals and after some time, finally said we were correct and he would have the place clean in an hour. The town was very cute and quaint a great location to the Warren Dunes. We came back an hour later and for the most part the place was clean. It wasn't until we started using the dishes that we noticed they had been put away without being washed. Food was caked on all the bowls, silverware, and cooking utensils. The kitchen was inadequately stalked. There wasn't even salt and pepper to use. The confusion about our check in and dirty dishes were the main downfall. Other than that it was a decent space. Beds and bathroom appeared clean. The brewery next door was a hit and we also enjoyed the market across the street! Will definitely come back to the area but will probably scope out another place to stay.

• Short Family Beach Vacation!

  5/5

  Myself, husband, and 2 kids (9 and 2) stayed here for 5 days to enjoy Lake Michigan Beach. Warren Dunes State Park was perfect for this as it was super close (5-10 min). It was pretty crowded on weekends but we still enjoyed ourselves and the week days there were less busy. Water was clear and beautiful. The town of Sawyer is very tiny ans quaint in a good picturesque type way. The pictures are taken in winter so we were not too sure before we got there but once arriving we felt safe and loved the area. There is in ice cream parlor below us, a restaurant and bar right next door (but nothing that ever got rowdy), a coffee place next door, a market below us, and a fruit and veggie stand across the street. Everything you could need right there. There are also some very cute ans yummy cafes about 10-15 min down the road. There were train tracks right near the rental that do go by at night but with the a/c window units on my kids never woke up, and they are light sleepers. The rental was very clean (and i am picky). Easy to get in and out of with plenty of parking. The rental was updated and finished nicely. I liked the decorations. Very cute. My kids were comfortable and liked it. It is a little tight with the big table but we mainly ate at the bar or couch. It does not have central air but we were enjoyed the window units and were never hot and didnt have a problem with this. Beds were super comfy and we slept great. TV and DVD player worked well and there are lots of channels to watch. Only thing i would say that could use improvement: there were only 3 bar stools and they seemed like they were about to fall apart. I even removed 1 because i was afraid the back would fall off while one of the kids were sitting on it. The pots and pans are very burned and burn food easily so it is probably time to replace them. And the air mattress one sleeps 1, which was not a problem for us but if the rental sleeps 6 i am not sure where the other person would go. But none of these were deal breakers and could be easily overlooked or fixed. Overall we had a great stay and would DEFINITELY stay again!!!
