Wonderful Home

Would stay here again. Very nice clean, beds were comfortable, (only queen beds as stated & for the luxury this home is only missing King Beds) They are correct, if staying anytime during winter Big 4-wheel drive is necessary, CRAZY, STEEP, WINDING DRIVEWAY- keep in mind we live in the UP so we are used to this type of thing.

Lovely Stay

Very nice place. We enjoyed the amenities, except the carpet in the bathrooms. The listing did not address the distance to the beach and the property manager would not provide this info until a day before a check in. In addition a response to our request for a later check out was surprising. First we heard no later check out because it takes 8 hours to clean the house. Then it changed to sure but you need to pay us for extra time. We have never heard of such practice that guests are charged for later check out (3 hours).before..

68 steps to.........................

Outside stunning. 68 steps up to the main level. The steps are not safe and totally without railing. Some of the steps are boulders/ very dangerous and I cannot believe this passed any building/renting codes. There were no blinds, shades, window treatments on any window. Only in two bathrooms with sheer curtains. Impossible to sleep once the sun came up. This is such an easy fix. The two main bedrooms have showers/tubs that are not safe and we had to share the only standing shower. The kitchen nice / no microwave ( $75 at walmart......which we bought for our 6 days there). The decks are not safe. The wood is rotted and the railing bars are loose. The stair on the deck is not attached and moves. VERY UNSAFE!! The worst part of this home is the driveway. It would be impossible/DANGEROUS/ UNSAFE during any rain or snow or night time driving. It is beyond the most unsafe drive ever. Based on SAFETY...........THIS HOUSE FAILS! The outside path to enter the mail level is unsafe. The drive up is even worse. I do not know how this passed any building inspections. I would say RUN don't walk away from this place but if you ran here you may not make it! Three easy fixes...........get the decks checked out and made safe. Outside stairs need railing and real steps. Get window treatments asap ( who wants to wake up at 6am on vacation) Fix the driveway it is BEYOND THE MOST UNSAFE DRIVEWAY!!! Until these improvements are taken care of I would not step foot in this place.
