• Fantastic Week

  5/5

  This is an amazing house with great features! The beds and linens are very comfortable. Everything is spotless in the house. The decor is beautiful and it’s got everything you could possibly need! The private beach is a great place to watch the sunset. The home is close to all the shops and restaurants as well as the public beaches. Linda is a fantastic host and excellent communicator! She makes sure everything is perfect!

  Hi Amy, Thank you for the wonderful review as it is much appreciated! I am so glad that my cottage house works for your family and I love to host to families so they can build traditions, explore the area and make memories that last a lifetime. I hope you enjoyed the town and restaurants, there is so much to do in the summer. You can also take short trips to the coastal towns and explore new places. You will have to tell me about the boat rental sometime! I have not done that yet with my family. Your family is welcome anytime and so glad that you made the choice to return this year! It is wonderful to have happy returning guests!

• Perfect location for families with little ones

  5/5

  Linda's property continues to be the perfect location for our group. We are 3 families who collectively have a 2, 3, 4, and 5 year old, so our priorities are little-kid-friendly aspects. The multi-level layout of the house allows us privacy for each family, with enough bedrooms for separate nap spaces, as well as adequate common space for when we just need the kids to pile onto the floor and watch Bluey for a second :) Kitchen was well stocked, rooms were clean, and Linda provided kid step stools, a travel crib, a high chair, and a beach wagon. Last year we stayed close to the rental, exploring the private beach and nearby creek, patronizing the SoHa farmer's market, and playing on the swing set in the backyard. This year, we made the quick drive over to Saugatuck to their fabulous public playground and cute shops, and also took a day to explore Holland (a very doable drive with young kids). Improvements to the house could include HVAC balancing, and perhaps blackout curtains. This was our second consecutive year here, and our group will happily return again if the opportunity arises!

  Hi Kylie, Thank you for the wonderful review as it is much appreciated! I am so glad that the house works for your group and I love to host to families and especially with small children which brings back memories of the years that my children were small using the swing set, wagon to the beach and short trips to the coastal towns. I will also take a look at some of the recommendations for cooling off the upper floor and am aware of the variation in temperature between the three floors. Your group is welcome back anytime and so glad that you made the choice to return again this year!

• Wonderful trip

  The accommodations were great. Plenty of room for a family of 8. Short walk to a private beach and weather was great.
