This was our second year at this home right on Lake Michigan. It has so many wonderful amenities and is a beautiful property. Lots of fun with golf, pickleball, meals on the deck and swimming at the beach.

This place has it all! They had it stocked with everything you would need to cook, make coffee, and even had toys and life jackets. We spent most of our time sitting on the beach and kayaking. Beautiful sunsets and sandy campfire evenings. My kids loved the beach and Wild Things bedroom with starlight ceiling lights. Would recommend to anyone!

Excellent accommodations for our family of 8 in the Upper Peninsula area. The lakefront house was located near the town of Manistique, which had convenient stores and restaurants. We had fresh fish from Jensen's Fishery. Farmer's Market is open Wednesdays at 5 to 6:30pmThe drive to Pictured Rocks Cruise was a bit over an hour. It was a great way to view the National Seashore, and experience being on Lake Superior.Our children and grandkids loved the Lake Michigan experience. The house had plenty of activity options for the occasional rainy spell. Joni was responsive and displayed much thoughtfulness in having the house supplied with the little things. One example, every bedroom had a fan. Checkout requests were simple too.We voted Blue Water Retreat the best we have rented via Vrbo.For finding the house, use Google Maps, not the Waze app. Waze got us nearby, but not to the specific house.Say hello to the green frog that hung out on our deck two days.

We were an extended family of eight traveling to the UP (kids, parents, grandparents) to see the many sites as well as have a comfortable home base to spend time together. This home delivered on all of those things. We absolutely loved the view of Lake Michigan, and had the pleasure of seeing a double rainbow on a rainy day. The beds are all very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and has plenty of space for many cooks in the kitchen. The kids especially loved the lower level with the game room, and the bedroom with the starry ceiling was a nice touch. The weather did not cooperate as much as we’d hoped but we had one full beach day and made the most of it. The kids loved the kayaks and enjoyed swimming. We truly enjoyed our stay! Thank you.
