Weekend Family Getaway

Loved the size and location of the house. Plenty of room for 5 and the large bathroom upstairs was a plus. But, the pictures must have been from years ago. It needs some love and deep cleaning. spider/dust webs in everyroom and looks like they been there awhile, the kitchen table and counters were sticky and dirty.

Great location and outdoor spaces

Overall we had a great vacation at this property, but we probably won't rent it again. Everything inside and outside the home needs a facelift- from the furniture to the blinds to the linens... Pros: close to the beach, relaxing outdoor spaces (enclosed porch and back deck), large and well stocked kitchen, plenty of beach chairs and towels Cons: insufficient/untimely communication from property management company, house needs a deep clean and some TLC to fix broken house fixtures, have to supply your own trash bags, toilet paper, and paper towels (only a starter supply is provided- this wasn't communicated prior to check-in), no blackout curtains

ABOUT THE OWNER

Monica started North Star Properties with one goal. To better serve the Northwest Indiana and Southwest Michigan Area with a concierge service mentality for short term rentals. From the North suburbs of Detroit she was bred to be in the real estate industry. Both of her parents were entrepreneurs. She watched as her father built Gauthier Corporation, a very successful construction company, which is still running as strong as ever. Her mother started a cleaning company that meticulously made sure every home shined like the top of the Chrysler building. Working for both of her parents growing up, she understands the drive and passion it takes to achieve success. Prior to starting North Star Properties, she sold real estate on the Northside of Chicago before moving to the Dunes and making a permanent home.
