Perfect Location For a Week Away
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was in a perfect location. The house was immaculate when we arrived, and much larger than the pictures show for the price. Our two young children had a blast playing on the beach, and running around in the water all week. Very close to downtown, that you can even walk to, to do any shopping you desire with a public park/beach as well. We'll definitely be coming back next year!

Beautiful View close to town
Our stay was great, close to everything yet far enough away not to be bothered. IF I had to make one complaint it's that the lawn could have been mowed to keep the bugs down a bit. Overall I still give 5 stars.

The beach is under water and has been for quite some time. No beach access at all for kids. We still had a great time and the home is spacious and perfectly located close to town

Good location not cozy or clean.
There property is nicely located on the water and within walking distance from town. The amenities were limited. The house was full of cobwebs and dust. The furniture and kitchen were cheap and dirty. The communication was good.

Sons wedding
Excellent, everthing we needed plus. Wedding venue in the area. We needed a place for us, grandma. Our 2 adult kids with 2 granddaughters. Perfect setting, rooms were great. Easy in and out without huge requirements, be kind to all properties! Wish we had more down time to enjoy the spaces. One word of care, slippery tub in master bath. Nursing bruised pride.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our time staying in Northport. This house's best asset is that it is right on the water. We brought Kayaks and Bikes that we used every day. The only thing to note, the house does not have mechanical air conditioning, only the natural type coming from the Lake.

Hidden gem
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was situated beautifully on the bay, the moon rises were amazing! Close enough to walk to town to participate in Northport activities and enjoy the restaurants, brewery, and shops but far enough away from the hustle and bustle to have a relaxed, quiet stay. House is the perfect blend of modern kitchen and bathrooms while preserving the old “cabin” feel in the wood paneled living room and upstairs bedrooms. When you hear “best of both worlds”, it accurately describes the esthetic and experience!

Great View
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location was created view of the lake was amazing and so was the little beach area. We did not like the lack of air flow and the limited windows. The house was very hot and uncomfortable, we had to use all the window fans and it still didn't cool the place down even at night. Wouldn't recommend for smaller toddler age children. Adults would do just fine.

We LOVE Northport
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is great! The shared spaces are larger than they appear in the picture. We were able to fit 6 people easily. The kitchen is spacious and a great place to cook. The house looks directly out to the water; its gorgeous! As of now, there is a small beach that can be accessed by stairs (only about 5 steps down). The water is crystal clear and we did find a couple of Petoskeys. Its not a great swimming beach because it stays very shallow (only about 2 feet). However it would be great to splash around in during the Summer. The house is about 3-5 blocks from downtown Northport. It is an older house so there are LOTS of notes from the owner. We did enjoy the binder with the history of the location. Overall is was a great location and great house!

Great Cottage Near Northport
The house is great. The pictures are accurate and it’s overall very comfortable. The yard and beach are nice especially with little kids. The beach is small but perfect to contain a roaming 4 year old. Quick walk into town and very very quiet.
