Great views, roomy, well stocked with supplies and comfortable beds. I suggest the owners stock more coffee mugs, the master bathroom sink has a slow drain, and some of the window cranks need adjustment. It's a great place to go star gazing.

Bare minimum rental - spend your money somewhere else!!!

Besides the view and how spacious this condo was, everything else was extremely disappointing. Working with a big property managing company like Vacaso(?) is so frustrating and felt like we weren’t ever communicating with a real person. We were denied early check in, denied late check out (despite there being no other guest the days leading up to or after our stay, and having a long POWER OUTAGE disrupting our ability to pack up quickly) by an AI generated response. Worst of all, this place is DIRTY - every corner had dust, dead flies, dirt, etc. While it all appeared clean at first, once we settled in we realized how dirty it was. Toaster didn’t work, half the windows were broken, multiple lights didn’t work, could not lower temp in fridge so everything inside froze. It’s decorated so poorly like someone did it with a 100 budget - all mismatched furniture and art work, all wall art hanging crooked, etc. There were huge window screens just sitting on the living room floor apparently waiting to be installed or something, but taking up the whole space and getting the carpet dirty with dead flies. Like we walked into a construction site.Obviously this is out of the control of the owner, but there were tons of flies and bugs at the beach. Wind helped one day.While the homestead property and Glen Arbor areas are wonderful, do yourself a favor and find an individual who owns a single rental and actually takes pride in their space to rent from. Vacasa is a total joke.

Fruit flys ruined our stay

The fruit flys were sold bad that they ruined our stay. We were unable to use the kitchen or the living room because of the swarm of fruit flies. The location was great and the access to beach and town was excellent but the fruit flys truly did ruin the stay

Great location

We rented this for our family kayak outing. Kayaking on the Crystal River, and then going to the Dunes made for a wonderful weekend. The quaint downtown nearby and the Lake Michigan beach right outside the door made this the best spot ever! The rental itself needs some maintenance, but it was nothing to ruin the stay.

Beautiful peaceful place on the shore of Lake Michigan

You can't beat the location and views from this property. While there were only two of us, the property can easily accommodate (4) couples. Glen Arbor is a very nice little town and a great place to enjoy the Sleeping Bear Dunes park and attractions.

Perfect Easy Getaway Right on Lake Michigan

Perfect spot right on the beach- incredible views of Sleeping Bear Point and the Manitou Islands. Can’t beat the location. Large/spacious unit with room for everyone to spread out. Would definitely visit again.

10 year anniversary trip was wonderful

Beautiful location right on the water. Gorgeous views of the sunsets right outside the living room. Cozy and luxurious home away from home. We loved it so much we are coming back next year!

Great location and property

For a group of 8, this property worked great. Great location close to town (just a little tricky to find at first. ) Nice view onto the lake. Kitchen was stocked but if you need an extra towel, you'll need to bring your own. Would like to come back in summer to enjoy the beach.

Terrific condo for our group of 10

The view, beach access and comfort for our group of 6 adults and 4 children was fantastic. Our children in the group were young so fit multiple to a bed easily and then had a blow up mattress on the floor. The large beds worked for us but could make it harder if your party wasn’t comfortable sharing beds. The location requires you to go up stairs to get in, so although there are main floor bedrooms all members of your party will need to use stairs. The kitchen is smaller and has basic cooking equipment but we found it worked well to make dinner in most nights. Despite being connected to other units we found it quiet and private. The walk to the water was shorter than anticipated from pictures and even the smaller beach area (due to high water) was great for playing and enjoying the lake. The loft area and living room both have TVs and we found it east to make the loft into a kid area when they needed their own space. The master bathroom has an enormous shower that was so convenient to wash up kids after being at the beach. We have already reserved this spot for next year because we were so pleased! Easy trip into town and nice walking trails and local entertainment with events at the observatory and in the nearby Village at the Homestead. Several cute beach towns in driving distance. Overall great spot!
