If the vehicle you bring is not 4-Wheel or All-Wheel Drive, please be aware of the potential risks accessing the property when snow is present.

You are welcome in any area of the house with the exception of the room accessed through the double doors at the back of the garage. This room is used for our personal belongings.

There are beach chairs and tables stored in the hut at the beach that you are welcome to use. We ask that you please return them to the storage hut in the evenings to prevent them from being lost or damaged.

There are two kayaks and three bikes (2 single, 1 tandem) available for use while staying in the beach house. All can be found in the garage. Please be sure they are properly stored at the end of each day to prevent being lost or damaged.

Firewood is available for your use and can be found in the garage as well.

A great week in a terrific property
Everything about this property is exactly as stated/pictured ion website. It is hard to imagine it being any better. My wife and I have been coming to the Sutton’s Bay Area for several years and this is the best yet. The only negative was the road you need to cross to the private beachfront - not really a quiet residential street - 45 mph with some driving much faster - no problem for adults but could be an issue for families with children under 12.. the only take-away and a minor one at that. A spectacular week. Thank you.

Great location and property!
We loved our stay here! Pictures are very accurate. We wondered what the road in between the beach and house would be like and it was fairly quiet. Not private by any means, but not a busy or main road. Everything was clean and there were tons of toys and puzzles and games for our family to use and play with! The owner was very accessible and responded quickly to questions. The front yard is AMAZING and has really beautiful landscaping. Beds are comfortable and everything was very clean! Overall we were super happy with our stay!

How wonderful
What a wonderful place! The yard with all the flowers and the hidden toad decorations, the beach with the covered table, kayaks, fire pit. Not to mention the gorgeous location. And we managed to cook dinner every night for 10 people in the fully equipped kitchen, including baking birthday cakes. Fantastic responses from very friendly owners. Couldn’t have asked for anything more!

Best location in Sutton’s Bay
Terrific house in the perfect location. We loved the close proximity to Sutton’s Bay. Very easy access to Hansen’s groceries and all the great eats, shops and ice cream in SB. But also on a quiet street away from the crowds. My family loved the private beach area and the giant lawn for games. We cooked in mostly and the house was equipped with everything needed for home cooked meals. Host Mark was great at communicating up front; since everything was so smooth we never needed to contact him after check in. Would definitely stay again.

This place is amazing
The hosts thought of every single detail right down to the abundance of hangers!!! The hosts anticipated every single need! Toys, puzzles, books, DVDs, TVs, PLENTY of great beach chairs.... I could go on and on but seriously the hosts and the management company stocked this house for a great vacation. We were celebrating our 50th anniversary and brought the entire family (10 of us = 6 adults and 4 children 7-13)! Plenty of room for us to spread out. Two of the guys had to work and there were great spaces to do that that were quiet (especially on the rainy days). The lawn is amazing. One night we had friends for dinner and we were able to have several games going on simultaneously. The beach is great. Loved that they had 2 kayaks and a canoe (so we didn't have to bring all of ours, just some). The sunsets were gorgeous. The neighborhood is quiet and close to Suttons Bay (you can walk, bike, run, or drive to town easily). Mark, the Manager, was absolutely amazing, answering texts quickly! He was kind, considerate, and was available for anything we needed. I was a little hesitant about travelling during COVID, I have lung diseases. The house was spotless! I totally felt at home and safe. I could go on and on, bottom line, if you are considering this property - you won't go wrong! Thank you to the owners for making the house available and to Mark who was the host extrodinaire!!!! Memories were made here.

This was a very nice property and beautiful location. We did have some trouble checking in and with communication -- the key did not work on any of the locks and when we tried to get a hold of the property manager, he did not answer. Also, just a heads up that the pictures do not show that the beach is across a busy road. Other than that, we truly enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful Week of Pure MI!
Beautiful home that is clean and well-equipped for families (toys/games/books for all ages). We spent most of our time at the beach, which is just across the beautifully maintained front lawn and S. Shore Rd. I didn’t realize that you had to cross the street to get to the beach, so had to be extra careful with the little ones. Mark was very responsive to questions and thoughtful to let us know that there was a high chair, booster and pack n play (all VERY clean) onsite. Overall highly recommend. Thanks for a wonderful week of enjoying all that pure MI has to offer!

Rented this home with 4 couples for fall getaway. Wonderful home and wonderful view. We cook and were so pleased that the kitchen was stocked so well. Comfortable beds, nice towels, nice that there are multiple sitting areas to chat. Loved automatic fire pit out back. Loved sitting by lake with our coffee.
