The property is beautiful, in a great location, close to beach and town and restaurants. The house is perfectly decorated, comfortable and accommodating. The host had everything we needed for a family stay. We absolutely loved it
This is the third year my girlfriend group has stayed at this lovely home. We enjoy the proximity to the private beach and the ease of driving into New Buffalo. The house is always clean and has the essentials we need for our stay. We hope to be back next year for our annual girls trip!
We really enjoyed the house. It could comfortably sleep six people, and the owners offered some additional amenities in the house for the beach. We appreciated that. Location relative to the beach is pretty good. Short walk, or short drive and ample parking. Would highly recommend.
We had a wonderful time. Steve and Michelle are so kind and have such a nice place. The 4 of us all adults in our family have enjoyed their place these last few years. The beach is so beautiful and we got to see the strawberry moon in the clear Michigan sky and the stars!! We are thankful for the time there
Weâve be coming here with our 3 kids for a few years now & we love it! Itâs our first choice and so convenient to everything while being quiet and peaceful too. Highly recommend.
Home was very clean, well kept, comfortable and cozy.
Owners were so pleasant to work with.
Neighborhood was perfect, close to beach, restaurants, shopping.
Loved our stay and are looking forward to visiting again!
We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the home and the bikes and the access to the private beach. The choice of restaurants was good. Seeing deer in the yard was refreshing.
My friends and I have visited Union Pier for seven years and this was our favorite house. It was clean and fully stocked with everything youâd need for the beach. We LOVED the private beach which was walking distance. Would definitely stay again!
This is our third time renting this property and we seem to have more fun every year. It is exactly as advertised and the owners are always quick to respond to any questions. We hope to be back for more Lake Michigan beach time in 2024!
We really enjoyed staying here. Location was perfect! The neighborhood is quiet and the walk to the lake is very easy. Beach chairs and floaters are available. We really enjoyed using the bikes to ride around. I definitely recommend for families or couples. An amazing relaxing experience and a nice break from our city life.
Nice clean house with upgraded kitchen & bath, large family room & dining room and spacious back yard with fire pit. Walking distance to numerous beach access entrances which have steep staircases. Host very receptive to all inquires. Will be back!
My friends and I have been staying in houses along the Michigan coast for several years. This house was one of our favorites. It was well maintained, clean, and had all the amenities needed for a stay along Lake Michigan. The private beach was not crowded and the walk to the beach was easily doable, but each day we drove to the beach there was always plenty of parking. A most enjoyable stay!
We enjoyed our family girlsâ trip to this home. The home is clean and in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed riding the bikes and sitting on the front patio. Itâs a distance from the private beach so we drove to a nearby public beach that had parking. Union Pier is so sweet, a great area!
We really enjoyed our second stay at this property. The house was very clean upon arrival. It also has a variety of beach items available such as chairs, a wagon, beach toys, floats, etc., which we appreciated. The location is great, just a short drive or bike ride to New Buffalo and the small downtown of Union Pier. Our host was very kind and communicative. Check out procedures were reasonable.
Super comfortable and spacious home for a Labor Day weekend getaway. The neighborhood was quiet and felt like a relaxing area. We didnât explore much given the packed wedding weekend agenda, but everything was a quick drive. Will need to come back to check out the beach!! Beds were comfortable, and it was great to have extra space - 3 women getting ready for a wedding need to be able to spread out!!
Check in and check out instructions were super clear, and hosts were friendly and proactive with their communication. Would highly recommend!
My husband and I really liked this house. Nice quiet neighborhood. When we went to the beach, there were so many beach toys, chairs, floats, etc. that it really made it great, especially with the grandkids. We loved the bikes! There is cornhole, basketball, and lots of things for the kids to do. Our only problem was the very light window coverings in the bedrooms. It is vacation after all, and it would be nice NOT to wake up with the sun each day. And the last night we were there, we had quite the light show from the lightning in our room from the storms, and we had a difficult time sleeping. Otherwise, I would have given it 5 stars. I would recommend this place for a great vacation.
We have stayed here for a few years and the owners are so kind and we had to change our dates this year and they were so accommodating
The place is close to the beach and our favorite places to eat. Thank you for a wonderful time!!!
Beautiful spacious home! Everything you need for a Beach Vacation! Private Beach Access just a few blocks away⊠the bicycles added to the fun and ease of the short ten minute walk. We all had such an amazing time. The house is close to many amenities and the private neighborhood was beautiful. Loved having the beach gear and towels included! It made packing so much easier. The owner is easy to work with and even had the cleaning crew come early so that we could start our vacation a day early. Thanks Michelle!
This was our girl groupâs second time staying hereâŠ.it is a perfect spot for us. The owners are very responsive and friendly. The rental is clean and set up just right and it is in a wonderful location in a quiet area. We hope to continue our stays here in the years to come.
Steve grew up in Essexville, MI and Michele is from Minnesota, but spent over 15 years in Chicago working for Kraft Foods. We met in Memphis, TN our primary residence in addition to Union Pier. We were married at the Journeyman in Three Oaks in 2019. Steve just wrote his first book, Nocturnal Admissions, a memoir of funny stories from a 30 year career running legendary nightclubs in the US. This picture is from the book signing at the New Buffalo Library in JULY, 2022.
There's nothing better than bringing a bottle of wine down to the beach to watch the sunset (perk of a private beach). It is considered one of the nicest beaches in the area.
