The Blue Bliss is the perfect location with gorgeous views! We were able to explore the whole area right from this location- from Saint Ignace, Mackinac Island, Mackinaw City, Charlevoix, Petoskey, and Harbor Springs, all within an hour from the home. The home was overall very clean when we arrived. The living room furniture was very comfortable and we loved waking up to that view! The deck and furniture is wonderful, too!
Some things that could be addressed to put this listing at excellent:
1. The bathroom walls need to be thoroughly wiped down and clean. Even freshly painted.
2. The kitchen could be elevated by simply painting the cabinets and walls. The front room looks so well updated, simple changes to the bathroom and kitchen would elevate the space. 3. We travel all over the country and this was the first VRBO that only gives you one extra toilet paper roll. I read the previous reviews on it, so we came prepared, but having at least a full package of toilet paper, especially for a 5 night stay, is appropriate. I had hoped because this was mentioned in the previous reviews, this would have been remedied, but it had not.
4. No hand soap for kitchen or bath. Again, never have we experienced this ever in a VRBO home. Renters shouldn't have to get to a rental and not have that available to them. This was also something past renters complained about that I had hoped would have been remedied, but it had not.
5. The downstairs bed is not comfortable. We did not use the upstairs so I cannot speak to those beds. It could use a larger and new mattress.
We would recommend this home because of the location and proximity to most everything. Great location to walk downtown. We love that it is dog friendly, too!! The area is beautiful!
