We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and cute. The outside shower was amazing to have for our returns from the beach. It was the perfect amount of space for me, my husband, and our two kids (age 5 & 1). We had room to set up a pack n play in one of the rooms. The kids enjoyed the books and games. The walk to the beach was a little far for me, but to be fair I'm pregnant with twins right now haha. But, it was super easy to just drive down to the beach and we were always able to get parking. The beach was beautiful and not very busy at all. You do need to be prepared to carry all your stuff down and up the steps to the beach, but we managed fine even with two kids and me being pregnant. There isn't much in Union Pier, but the bakery right outside the home was delicious. We made some short drives to other towns such as New Buffalo, Michigan City, and St. Joe's for some other food and activities. Overall, it was a very nice stay and we would recommend this property to others.
