PERFECT STAY!

PERFECT STAY!We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this home! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The house was immaculately clean and ready for guests. Every detail was thoughtfully prepared, from fresh linens and towels to a fully stocked kitchen that had everything needed. Communication with the host was seamless. They were incredibly friendly and proactive, providing detailed check-in instructions and great local tips that made our stay even better. It’s clear they genuinely care about their guests’ experience.The location was also perfect—peaceful and quiet, yet close to everything. We were minutes from shops, restaurants, and local attractions, but it still felt like a private retreat. The walk to the beach was short and easy. We especially loved the outdoor space—it was ideal for relaxing with morning coffee or unwinding in the evening.Other highlights: fast Wi-Fi, comfy bed, assigned parking, and thoughtful touches like local guidebooks.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-managed home away from home. This place truly deserves more than five stars.

Lovely place in a great location

We really wnjoyed our stay. The licTion is perfe t, with a restaurant less than 30 seconds walk from the bungalow, as well as a groceries/coffee shop. The beach is walking distance and you can rent bikes not far either. The bugalow was really.clean with plenty of towels available. The kitchen amenities are limited but enough for a short stay

This was the perfect place for me to "set up camp" while attending a retreat in the area. Close to beach for walks, close to Whistle Stop Grocery for snacks (yum), and close to Red Arrow Hwy / I94 for getting around. Thanks!!

Cozy and clean stay for 2

We spent a Notre Dame football weekend at the Moonlight beach bungalow. Too cold to enjoy the lake but the surrounding area was very nice and quiet. The bungalow was very clean and nicely furnished, perfect accommodations for our weekend getaway. Thanks for a nice stay.
