This property is great for small families looking for an “up north” vacation. A nice sandy Lake Michigan beach is right across the street, and the property has a heated outdoor pool if the weather isn’t cooperating. It’s located roughly .5 miles from downtown Elk Rapids, and less than a mile from necessities like a grocery store, gas stations and a handful of restaurants. You can get to downtown by taking mostly sidewalks and side roads, which makes walks and bike rides downtown with kids pretty easy. This particular condo was a 1br / 1bath, but it’s layout makes it feel bigger. A large jacuzzi tub is a nice bonus, and the bedroom is also large. Kitchen is fully stocked. Appliances and furniture are all a little older, but fits the “up north” vibe. Overall, really happy with this rental, and would rent again. I gave 4 stars instead of 5, mostly because of admin things. Check in is at 3pm, and the cleaning staff wasn’t done until 3:30pm. We waited at the property for over 45 minutes to get in. There is no refund policy, no matter how early you cancel, and check out is at 10am. If these policies were more customer-friendly, it’d be a 5 star rental.
