My husband and I had a wonderful time during our long weekend stay at this condo. It was clean and very nicely appointed, with a great view of the woods and creek out back. This was actually my second stay here, which shows how much I enjoyed this rental property. I highly recommend it.

Wonderful Place!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The condo was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with utensils and everything you need (bring coffee though!), towels were fluffy and there were some trash bags, toilet paper, etc.. to get you through a weekend stay. We never used to pool or private beach access, but nice that they are included for guests nonetheless. The location was great for visiting Torch Lake; highly recommend Luhrs Landing for boat rentals, we had an amazing experience through them! Downtown Bellaire was very cute as well. No complaints!

Mini vacation

The property is exactly as shown. It was super clean and very quiet. The weather was a bit cool so we didn’t get to use the pool but it looked really inviting. Access to the beach is just down the road. Matt the owner was super to work with. We plan on another visit to Matt’s condo. Absolutely perfect!

A Nice Home Away From Home

There were so many things we enjoyed about our stay, it’s hard not to give all 5-star reviews. However, in fairness to other properties we’ve stayed at that truly were 5-star, it just didn’t seem right. For starters, the layout and setting of the condo were great. We didn’t know whether or not any of our kids might want to come and stay for a night or two, so having the separate bedroom and bath on the opposite side of the great room was perfect (even though nobody was able to join us). We loved sitting on the deck and enjoying Shanty Creek flowing through the trees behind the condo. The pool was conveniently close by to walk to, but the private beach was much more of a jaunt than we’d imagined from the property description; especially since it’s on the other side of M-88. We are walkers, so we [naively] put ourselves at risk walking over there ONCE. To be clear, it’s lovely once you get there, but for anyone with children the need to drive really should be emphasized. This is the first time we’ve stayed at a VRBO property that didn’t have a handbook to refer to for advice and guidance. Had the club pass not fallen out of the bag of tour pamphlets, we would not have known we needed it to access the beach. When it came time to check out, we had to go back to the property listing to find out what was required. When a couple of issues arose, Matt was very quick to respond; however we had to mutually agree to leave things as they were so as to not interfere with plans we already had in place. The kitchen was nicely appointed with everything we needed to eat most meals in, which was great; however, the appliances are quite dated, which was a huge contrast to the lovely new carpeting and nice furnishings. Again, overall we enjoyed our stay, I’d have given an overall 4.5 if that had been possible.
