Disappointing-
Marketing did a great job making this property look good via pictures; however, in person- it was very disappointing. The property needs a very deep clean and updates, especially to the lower level. While the upper level was much better, on the lower/main floor- there were mice droppings on the floor and in the oven tray, walls and baseboards were filthy and it is not well appointed. You could hear the neighbors above the main floor bedroom (sounded like a hoard of elephants going up/down the stairs). If you have a larger-sized dog, you will not be able to gain access to the upper level due to the steepness of the staircase. I was expecting a very chic stay. I did let the manager know and they asked to send over a cleaner, but the place needs a DEEP clean, not a spot clean. Very disappointed in what I received, especially at the price point paid. Would not stay again.

Great location next to National Park and Beach!

Wonderful place
The location was great, you could see lake michigan through the kitchen windows and on the balcony. Very nice home, lovely views. Could not ask for a better host, my daughter left her stuffed animal and they were kind enough to retrieve and send it back to me. I will be staying with them again in the future!

Comfortable space in a great location
Property was as described, check-in process was easy. Great location right by the lakefront beach and dunes area. Sadly, it rained on us most of our stay but that's not our hosts fault. Good alt location for a Chicago visit with the dunes / beach area right there and about $100 / 1hr Uber ride into the city to explore there as well. Will likely come back in warmer dryer weather to enjoy more of the beach and dunes.
