Overall, this is a good house in a great location, but desperately in need of some fixes and upgrades.
Pros:
- bedrooms are well sized, and layout works with the sleeping area away from the main living area, allowing kids and those early to bed space away from the noise.
-plenty of linens, 2 showers and one tub allow for multiple options
- all basic amenities are there, backyard is a nice size with plenty of seating
- location is walkable to the main strip, and though not on the water, is a short drive from main beach.
Cons:
- cleaning crew did just an OK job when we arrived. There was still hair in the shower drains, and wherever you stepped you could feel sand under your feet
-some of the appliances beep constantly, very obnoxious. The smoke detectors also kept going off, even when boiling water on the stove.
- several things are broken and in need of repair: toe kick in the kitchen, dining table side, drains are slow, blinds don’t work quite right, drawer in the fridge. Nothing that seriously impedes your fun, but enough to be annoying.
-safety concern: there was a curtain wrapped up at the base of the water heater that I discovered midway through the trip. It was WAY too hot and was likely a fire hazard.
Overall, if they make the improvements this would be a solid option in NB, MI. Otherwise, didn’t quite seem to be worth the price paid.
