We had a nice stay, the unit we stayed in was clean, had reasonable utensils for cooking. The beach was awesome. A couple of the other units have a better view of the lake but this one was ok.
The property location to the beach was fabulous, had a wonderful vacation hanging out on the beach. The location to US 23 was underwhelming due to the noise heard as vehicles passed by all night long.
location was beautiful, cottage needed serious cleaning, needs central air, very humid, door wall and window were moldy , door wall screen torn, kitchen window screen kept falling out of window, we did enjoy our stay, it just needs some serious TLC
We were all super impressed with not only the location of the cabin, but the amazing view and accommodations they provided! The Captains Watch was definitely the right move for our little family, with the right amount of space for all of us to sleep and move comfortably. Highly impressed with the cleanliness of our cabin and property! I've already recommended your property location to friends and family and were planning another trip soon! Thank you for a wonderful Anniversary/Mother's Day Retreat! Sad to have left, but so happy we stayed. :)
The beach access is amazing. The 2nd bedroom looks like a very small family room without a door which could be a problem for some guests. It did not affect our visit, we plan on returning.
Very ridgid about length of stay. 500 plus for 2 days you wouldnt think so. Killed 22 flies in unit upon arrival? Stairs in unit are not legit at all. Tell your carpenter theres a 7/11 rule to follow. Nice beach though!
The cabin was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Kitchen had all cookware and dishes, bathroom had plenty of towels, there were beach towels. The grill worked great, we had plenty of options for lounging outdoors. All-in-all it was a great time. We would definitely go back. The futon is uncomfortable but the bed in the main bedroom was comfortable.
This was the perfect location for a mom and two kids to spend the weekend. Right on the beach and within driving distance to attractions and east tawas. It helped that the neighbors were quiet at the other cabins on the property. A few things to know: you have to hook up the propane to use the grill yourself, bring beach towels with you, there is not a clothing line to dry swim wear on. Other than that we had a great time!
This property has 4 properties, and each one has its own character and charm. We stayed at the Captainâs Watch and itâs character was itâs bedroom! You could see the Beach and the Night-sky, and the Sunrise/Sunset right from your bed! The Weather was beautiful and unseasonably warm, the beach was gorgeous and private enough for all to enjoy. We looked forward to the view on the rainy days as well- even saw a rainbow đover Port Huron on our last day! We will definitely be back next year!
My wife and I decided at the last minute to spend our 56th Anniversary near a beach so I found this location and was able to easily book a 2 night stay. I think the cleaning people are a bit over paid because the corners were a bit dirty but overall a pleasant stay. The upstairs bedroom is pretty nice with a full view of the beach. The view downstairs is minimal but we would still recommend this property and will probably do a return visit in the future.
Nice location on the beach with a great view of the lake. Property immediately behind this unit was not rented at the time so it did not feel crowded. The unit was very clean and had great amenities. I struggled a little with the door not completely understanding how it worked at first - written instructions inside the unit would have been helpful. I also wasnât sure if the lakeshore was open to everyone or just in front of the property. Property managers were very responsive and helpful.
We really enjoyed our stay. It was comfortable and clean. Probably one of the cleanest weâve ever stayed at, and weâve stayed at many. The kitchen was outfitted sufficiently although a few more and definitely better pans would have been nice. I might suggest that you get a small folding step stool for the kitchen to lessen the possibility of injury from standing on a chair to reach the top shelf of the cabinet. I would also suggest that the wicker loveseat upstairs faces the window, instead of its back to the window. The view is to die for and itâs a wonderful place to enjoy morning coffee.
We loved all the windows and light. And the sunrises, oh my the sun rises!
We would definitely recommend this stay to others.
Loved everything except the bedâŠworst sleep I never got. Bed is like 20 years old and has no support. Was lumpy and extremely soft, left suddenly at like 10pm just to get home and have a good nights rest. The shower was a single person stand in shower (not big body friendly), thatâs also keep clogging. Besides that the beach was amazing and view. Right off the water (and us 23 so can be noisy with traffic). Great for relaxing getaway, neighbors you barely knew were there. Nice town and parks. I would stay again but in a different unit in hopes to have a better bed and shower. Bedroom was spacious, enough room for blow up mattress. Was a great Vacay spot.
