We loved the porch and all the knotty pine. Beds were clean and comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. The Weber grill was new. The closest beach wasn't swimmable but was pretty. The only constructive comment i offer is that the toilet in the shower bathroom rocks becase the floor and tile need to be replaced. The vrbo service fee and breakage insurance fees were excessive and left us with a negative view for future rentals with them.

A small (5 people) 3 generation girl’s getaway to Port Austin and this was the perfect home. Clean, sweet decor, comfy beds and 2 bathrooms. Loved that we could walk to town! So many nice spaces…porch room for sitting in the morning with coffee, deck for every meal and card games. A lovely, relaxing stay.
