Labor Day getaway
Location is great if you want to be close to town but not right in the middle of it. Also great location for accessing the beach!

Great place to stay!
Stayed here Tuesday-Friday with my 80 year old Mom and 2 sons. The house was very cute and clean. Beds were comfy. Nice wrap around deck with decent patio furniture! Dunes across the street and a short walk were beautiful! A little tough for an elderly person but worth the walk for the view. The beach here was virtually all sand unlike many others in the area that have a lot of rocks and sand. Only downside was couldn’t get local channels or live tv, only Netflix and Amazon. Was maybe a 5 minute drive to downtown Charlevoix. Great location, would definitely recommend staying here!

Wonderful location
We loved the quiet location and the view of the woods. It was great to be so close to the beach. The beds and furniture were comfy and the house was clean. The outdoor furniture was also great.

Horrible
The house was very dirty, windows, doors, moldy shower curtain, old spring beds, no working tvs, cob webs everywhere, the smell was so bad at entering the home could not lysol, candle or open windows to get rid of it. Had a humidifier that we were told about at check in that we would have to run and empty constantly. Stayed away as much as possible. Could not wait to check out. No remorse or compensation. Very disappointed.

Cute and Quaint
This rental was perfect for our stay in Charlevoix. Each day we took advantage of the proximity to the beach and dunes. Communication with rental staff was on point and staff even went above and beyond to ship my left duffle bag.

Amazing location
House is an older cottage but is well laid out and worked perfect for our trip. The walk to the beach is about 10 minutes even with being loading down with beach chairs, and 2 children. The beach is amazing and even with a full parking lot had a ton of room for everyone. We went into town several times and its a super quick 1.5 mile drive. If we didn't have the kids we could have biked there no problem. We also did the hiking trails to the observation platform which was quick and fun.

Excellent family vacation
Overall, the house was what we needed for our beach vacation. We have family that lives locally so the proximity to their homes and McSauba beach couldn't have been better. The ability to walk across the street and go to Lake Michigan is priceless. The check-in and check-out process was simple as well.
