Summer beach stay
The location was amazing. The property has its own private beach on the shore of Lake MI and has beach toys, floaties, and beach chairs available. The house is a nice size with comfortable beds. It's a rather old property and could be kept up better, but was fine for what we needed. There is no AT&T cell service along the lake in this neighborhood, but the house has WiFi as listed. Bring your own shampoo and bath soap. They do supply hand soap, dish and laundry detergent and abundant towels (for the beach and bathing). We'd return!

Summer 2024
Overall the stay was good with our focus on the lake and surrounding area to explore. There was ample sleeping space for 11 people. The bedrooms are fine, older furniture with new mattresses. No need to modify these spaces. The main living space needs the following: new coach and chairs, new kitchen table and chairs, new TV. All of these items are quite dated and, regarding the furniture, dirty/dingy. We spent time around the table with the benches but not the table with the dirty fabric chairs. The indoor/outdoor space off the first floor also needs new cushions on the coach, no one wants to sit on dirty cushions.

Family time at the beach
The property was just right for us. The owner/property manager was very friendly and greeted us upon our arrival and shared helpful and interesting info about the beach house. It is cozy yet spacious and open. The large kitchen was well stocked. My six full-of-energy grandchildren (ages 4-15) had room to play games and have fun during a rainy morning. The antique pump organ works and was really fun for my musical little ones! The beds were comfortable and the bedding was very nice. The beach is great for relaxing, playing, kite flying and a nice walk to Oval Beach. Be aware that there are about 80 steps down to the beach.

Pike Stay
Everything was excellent but you need to get a bigger screen tv for the sitting area. It was too small for the price of 1000 per nite that people are paying to stay there. BTW I would like to rent it again Wednesday to Sunday 2 days after Labor Day 2024. May I make a reservation now? Dave

Family vacation
Grandparents, 5 adult children and 5 teenage grandchildren and this house was comfortable for all of us, however if stairs are a problem for you this is not the place for you - there are alot of them. We loved being right on the beach and spent alot of time there.

Loved our time here.
We were here for a memorial service in Holland. This time was precious therapy. Two unbelievable sunsets, walks on the beach, time with our adult kids, hanging out on layers of decking. Two even found inflatables and went in the water...45°. Good Michigan stock.

Horrible stay. Worst ever
This was a horrible stay. The AC didn’t work but they didn’t tell us until I asked. They said maybe open a window. I couldn’t find the parking and they were Rude when I called. The dishwasher, oven, and Refrigerator didn’t work and our food in the freezer spoiled. The steps to the beach were started to come apart and the lights didn’t work. I would never stay here!
