About this house rental

Bedrooms 7 | Bathrooms 6 | Sleeps 24

Sun King, and the included coach house Jester, combine to create one of Beachwalk’s largest properties, complete with 7 bedrooms and 6 full bathrooms. And, unlike many, Sun King is a true beach house—modeled after the Kennedy Compound in Nantucket—with a wrap-around screen porch, windows galore, and plenty of outdoor living. Unsurprisingly, it is one of the most well-loved houses in Beachwalk, with families returning year after year. One of the reasons for its huge popularity is that the owners annually reinvest much of the income derived from rentals into improving the property. This to go along with a newly upgraded kitchen that includes two full refrigerators and a commercial grade ice maker.

Sun King comes complete with the usual amazing Beachwalk amenities--swimming pool, tennis court, basketball court, beach volleyball, boardwalk leading to Lake Michigan's most beautiful beach, interior Lake Kai for kayaking, turtle-hunting, or relaxing, the custom sand castle park, kitty-corner waterfall park, next door to Central Park with summer concerts, and more! But unlike most homes, Sun King also includes a custom designed house golf cart for renter use, a large outdoor fire pit for marshmallow roasts and family bonding, a crib, a garage filled with beach and other toys, plenty of parking including one garage spot, an outdoor shower, and an incredible finished basement complete with a large television, ping pong table, and other assorted games. Sun King is gorgeous and in immaculate condition, with a wrap-around screened porch, hardwood floors, new kitchen counters and appliances, multi-level decks (several of which were recently replaced with new composite decking), and two dining room tables abutting each side of the open kitchen with seating for at least 20, including an enormous custom farmhouse dining table that itself comfortably seats 14. The farmhouse table sits below two end to end sea-shell chandeliers you will have to see to believe.

Sun King was designed with large groups or families in mind; you will have your pick of 7 separate and private bedrooms spread across four finished floors in the main home and a recently renovated and totally private guest house perched above the garage, with its own kitchen, dining table, flat screen television, and full bathroom. And, of course, there is plenty of space for large groups to gather and spend time together, including the massive open concept main floor centered around a fire place and large television, the seemingly endless wrap around porch complete with seating for a crowd, and a large deck with outdoor shower off the back of the house that meets up with the wrap around porch. If you are looking for a beach house to accommodate a large group or family, look no further--you won't find anything better.
(NOTE: From May-September, Beachwalk charges $5 for parking passes and $15 per guest weekly fee for use of the pool--this will be collected either by the resort staff upon arrival or you can pay in advance).

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family, as well as my sister’s families and my parents, were all looking forward to a week at Beachwalk for several months leading up to our first extended family vacation with all the grandkids. I was looking forward to showing my extended family the resort that I had grown to love from my two previous visits. The resort is amazing! The pool, access to Lake Kai, quick access to Lake Michigan, golf cart community, and the many resort amenities make this an ideal location to relax and unwind for a week. Unfortunately, Sun King/Jester needs a complete update. The carpet is filthy. To the point where we only felt comfortable wearing our shoes everywhere in the home. Several pieces of furniture were stained, broken, or in need of repair. There was also mold in the showers, a non-working outdoor shower, grease collected in pans under the grills, water damage on the ceiling in the kitchen, and stains on some of the bedding. As a result of these items, Beach Walk resort staff came to assess and after seeing the condition of the home, offered to put us in a newly built home, not yet being rented out, for the remainder of our stay. Kristian and Erin at Beachwalk were great in helping us transition to the other home. I would recommend Beachwalk resort, however would not recommend Sun King unless they remodel and do a thorough cleaning of the home. Also, to add, the golf cart was abnormally slow and upstairs master had difficulty keeping cool, even with an added box fan. The owners should ask themselves if they would want to pay approximately 12 grand a week to stay in this home. My guess is that their answer would be, no.

    Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was the perfect size and location for a large family vacation. We loved the proximity to the pool & parks, and it was a quick & easy walk to the beach. However, the house needs a good deep cleaning and maintenance. The floors were filthy to the point we wore shoes at all times and the doors into the house all need repairs. They were incredibly difficult to open and close. We would have loved to enjoyed more time on the front porch, but it also needed repairs and cleaned. The large back patio was nice as well, but the outdoor trash cans smelled so bad it was impossible to sit near them. Overall, the house worked but we would not return to this property.

    Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have enjoyed Beachwalk Vacation rentals 4 times as an extended family. But each year, it seems the homes need more attention to maintenance and deep cleaning. The wrap around porch and deck were very grimy. No working outdoor shower. Mattresses and carpets need replacing. The master bedroom and 3rd floor bunk room could not cool properly. Serious plumbing issues occurred. Walls and trim need painting. The golf cart was very very slow. Comfortable living room furniture. Roomy kitchen with 2 refrigerators was good. Great basement space.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Sun King is perfect for our large family. We need two properties for sleeping but find Sun King great for gathering in the living room and especially for cooking and serving Thanksgiving dinner. (We confess, we had to use the oven in the accompanying house, Jester to bake the dinner rolls.) The two dining areas are great to accommodate different ages,activities and games.

    We stayed here 2 yo and found that this property has gone down hill. Obvious that the owner has not done much to maintain. Exposed nails on rear deck and stairs. All nail heads are rusted. Carpets are beyond dirty. Front yard overgrown. We're looking elsewhere at Beachwalk for next time.
