Great condo unit and location, only drawback is the fruit flies were out of control. Vacasa provided traps but they seemed to just attract more fruit flies.

It really was a lovely stay at the Homestead condo. Comfortable, clean and spacious. This is the second time I've stayed in this condo and I'll definitely come back. Love the location, the lake, the view. It was all spectacular.

Fab Weekend With the Grands
The view of Lake Michigan is breathtaking from the comfort of the living room. The weather was frightful, so we greatly appreciated the fireplace and other amenities. The three Little’s loved their sleeping accommodations and we had great fun with some board games we brought from home in front of the fire. Some hiking during the day and dinner out completed our lovely time together. Highly recommend this place!

This place is amazing! It is right on Lake Michigan with beautiful views. It is very clean and tastefully decorated. The kitchen is well equipped with everything one may need. This was my second time staying her and I'm sure it won't be my last.

Beautiful views.
Lovely condo, very clean and great views. This was a private drive off the homestead property and we were incorrectly directed to a homestead property and had trouble finding our condo at first. Called the number but were told to do chat instead. Waited very long for assistance that was hit local and could not help. Just basic and important that the directions should be correct. The beds were hard and clean but average linen quality. We had clean but thin towels. It had everything we needed and we had a lovely time.

Property construction / poor management
Let’s get to the good first. Fantastic location. Newly refinished interior. Nice showers. The bad. They failed to mention that the property would be having its wooded siding ripped off and that there would be pounding and sawing from 8am to 7pm 3 of 5 days. This is a corporate run place. They gave me $410 refund for one day. Nobody local just a 800 number or chat. Bedding was very cheep. One room had only 1 pillow on the queen. Bring your own pillows. You are paying for location here. Very low quality. Kitchen utensils were a joke. Furniture needs a serious upgrade. Looks as if they went to garage sales for the mismatched pieces they have. You get what you pay for.

Beautiful home and beautiful view of the lake and beach!
Home was perfect, the views of the lake and beach are stunning to wake up to every day! We saw deer right on the beach out of the patio windows! This was a great unit for families, teens and friends! The Market in downtown Glen Arbor nearby had everything we wanted, the deli food also was delicious and the teens wanted to go back for soup several times!

Awesome and peaceful
South.Beach unit eight is extremely well stocked, clean and great walking access to the beach. I have walking difficulty and enjoyed the easy access and we all loved the views and sunsets. We are hoping the unit is available again in August 2025 for 2 weeks. The family felt at home and very relaxing. Thank you for allowing us our stay, The Milantoni’s

Large condo sitting on Lake Michigan.
Location is beautiful. The condo is right on the water, open the door and listen to the waves. The patio furniture was not cleaned and the deck was not inviting to sit out on. We arrive at a bad time for flies. There were hundreds around the door wall. The space was large enough to accommodate the family and meet our sleeping needs. Problems we ran into, was getting help from the management company to unlock the box with the key inside. No instructions on how to use the air conditioners, however that was not a huge issue. Also, I did not realize until I left was that there was debris under the bedspread. This was found when I removed the sheets. The cleaniness of the condo could improve. Overall, I would rate this condo as good but could be great with better upkeep.

Big lake beach break
It was relaxing with great viewof lake and plenty of space to hang out with some friends dropping in for an afternoon visit. Next door is an owner who is there all summer and guitar playing and WINDCHIMES wore a bit thin - might not bother some but it did bother us not able to hear water or breeze in trees.

Our family (5 adults and two kids) spent several days in Glen Arbor and loved the condo. It fit our needs perfectly. We loved the first floor walk out to the deck and the beach. Being close to the beach was great. Inside the condo was very nice - we loved our stay there and would come back.

Sleeping bear bay and the dune lakeshore is the most beautiful place is the world.
Properties at South Beach in the Homestead resort has some of the most breath taking views. Bugs are heavy in spring but still well worth making a trip up. Property was clean and at a reasonable price.

Cancelled on two weeks before
My family and I had previously stayed at this property over the summer and had a terrific stay (see star rating above). It’s a beautiful, private location and great unit. Being right on the beach was perfect with our little kids. The unit has recentl updated bathrooms and kitchen and is very comfortable. We decided to book again for a winter get away and we were called two weeks before our check in date by the rental management company and told we could no longer use the unit because owner needed to do maintenance. I didn’t even realize our reservation could be cancelled like that. Luckily the rental company was able to get us into a similar unit in the same building. It definitely makes me leery of booking with Vrbo and specifically this unit again.
