PERFECT for families!

DeDe Indianapolis, IN
Review Submitted: December 17, 2006 Date of Stay: July 2006
This home has truly everything you would want in a vacation home. Our family took our 1st (and 2nd!!) Family Vacations here with our very small children (6, 4, 2, 9 mos.). We couldn't have been more pleased. The place was exactly as described on the website and even better because the description did not stress how absolutely SPARKLING CLEAN the home is! We felt completely comfortable letting our children roam the house, play on the floor, sleep in the beautiful clean beds and ride their bikes on the quiet street! Access to Lake Michigan can be by bike, on foot or by car (30 second car ride). The beach is the cleanest we have experienced, was perfectly maintained and great for families.

The owner has gone out of her way to decorate and accessorize her home for families with many children. The Pottery Barn accents spoiled us and we are very hard to please!

Amazing Place

DebiZee Detroit, MI
Review Submitted: December 17, 2006 Date of Stay: October 2006
This is even better in person than on the website. The pictures do not do the cottage justice. When I saw the pictures on the website, I was amazed. When I saw it in person, I fell in love with the place. I was there for 8 weeks on business beginning in October, and wished I could have stayed longer. I was as comfortable as if I were in my own home.

Very Clean!!! Awesome Place!

NARBOY Warren, MI
Review Submitted: July 6, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
My family and I stayed here June 27th - July 3rd 2009 and would certainly go back again. The home is very clean and it was a home away from home for us. Everything is provided for, right down to dishes, linens, towels, soaps and more. It is beautifully decorated and in a charming neighborhood. It is a block away from the beach so you could walk, bike or ride. We loved sitting around the fire pit in the backyard in the evenings and many nights we could hear the waves. So relaxing. The owner (Jane) was wonderful to deal with and answered all our questions completely and promptly! If you are looking for someplace to relax on vacation this is the place. I cannot imagine staying in a hotel after our experience here.

A Gem in Muskegon

lds307 Leesburg, VA
Review Submitted: August 26, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We had such a great time at Redbird Cottage that I don't know where to begin! The cottage was just as the description portrayed. It was clean, well stocked and adorable. The location was perfect -- so close to the beach! We really enjoyed reading about the history of the Bluffton area from the books that were in the cottage and loved the information book with restaurant and activity recommendations. Jane was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend this cottage if you are visiting this area.
