We loved this house because it was clean, simple, and comfortable. The location was also a plus--walking distance to downtown and the beach. I especially like having the garage because we could park our bikes in there and not worry. Our animal friends were completely safe in the fenced-in backyard. If you decide on this location, be on the lookout for deer. We saw a family of deer wander by everyday through the large picture windows. Even though we were on a busy street (for Manistee), those sounds never pierced the inside. Peaceful and beautiful.
