Photos and Description of the Northport vacation house rental
House, 4 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 8)

Spend your Northport Vacation at Sandhill -- one block off the bay and two blocks from beaches, marina, playground, coffee, dinner and shopping! This solid four bedroom Cape boasts hardwood floors, fresh paint, a GREAT front porch with wicker rockers, a HUGE yard for kids to play in, and a floral garden that blooms all summer. An easy walk to the Marina, Fourth of July Fireworks and weekly Music in the Park. So close, kids can go on their own for library books and ice cream! It's an easy walk to downtown shopping, Willowbrook Mill (weddings!) Barb's Bakery (cinnamon twists!) North End (breakfast!) and the Garage (killer BBQ!).

Huge open living area, with 'adult seating' area and 'TV/gaming seating' area -- 42' Sony Flatscreen, with wireless internet, DVD player, Netflix, (but, sorry! no cable television...). Bring your own video games! Plenty of board games, too. Gather around the giant oak refectory table and serving buffet; choose the antique oak pedestal table in the kitchen -- or take it outside on the picnic table or garden table with umbrella.

Downstairs master with a super comfy queen bed and full bath; upstairs choose from a king bed room, a sunny royal blue/green double twin room, or the Jungle Bunk Room -- popular with kids! New paint, new linens, new wall art -- all arriving daily! You will LOVE this place!

Super quiet in Northport -- and the stars seem VERY close on the 45th parallel....

About Marcia J Boynton

We have have renovated and managed several vacation homes in the Fourth Street area of Northport for many years. The Maples, the Birches and Harbor House were popular seasonal rental properties for many families! Now, Sandhill continues this tradition.

My favorite comment from the guest books?

'I have been renting in Northern Michigan for 30 years, and your property is the first place I didn't feel I had to wash the silverware before using it!'

Marcia J Boynton purchased this house in 1999
Why Marcia J Boynton chose Northport

Northport is a 'real town' but its uncrowded beaches, bustling marina and summer festivals in the park make it a great summer get away. Swim or boat in crystal clear Grand Traverse Bay, or enjoy Lake Michigan! So laid back -- no need to comb your hair or paint your nails up here!

What makes this house unique

Cinnamon Twists at Barb's Bakery, viewing Beaver Island on a clear day from the top of Grand Traverse Light, hiking through the state park to the ultra private, glorious Lake Michigan beach at Cathead Bay, walking the trail at Kehl Lake (take your little kids, it's a great place to imagine the time when dinosaurs roamed the earth!) -- and of course, wine, shopping, reading, eating and napping! Rainy day? No worries -- movies are just 20 minutes away in Sutton's Bay!

This is a wonderful place to stay for a family getaway!! We had a lovely time and look forward to staying there again! You can see the beach from the porch! We highly recommend this house for Willowbrook Mill wedding guests. It is a short walk to and from the Mill!

This house was amazing

I can't begin to say how awesome this HOME was. I stress the word home as that is what it feels like. So many nice ammenities and homelike touches. Our daughter got married at the Willowbrook and this house is just a short walk there and within view of the bay. It offers so much room inside with an area for the kids to watch tv and play games and adults to have a quiet area to sit and talk. The owner was so wonderful, making sure that we had everything that we needed and even called during our stay to make sure everything was going well. I had emailed the owner many times with questions and were responded to promptly. My whole family stayed the 3 night which included my married children and grandchildren and mother in law and there was plenty of sleeping room for all of us as the grandkids loved having a slumber party in there sleeping bags and all the adults 8 total all had beds (and very comfortable ones at that). The home is nicer and bigger then the pictures could ever show. So many nice touches - way to many to list. It was nice when you are dealing with the normal stresses of a wedding having a home to stay at that made things so easy
We enjoyed walking around the quaint town and meeting the neighbors. Everyone was extremely nice. The grocery store and coffee shop are within walking distance as is the marina.
We did take our dog (our baby) with us and it was plent of room for him to roam and a great place to go for walks. He had lots of fun with the big yard yet plenty of room to strectch out on the floor in the house
I would recommend this home to anyone and everyone. We drove from central Illinois and had never been to Northport. We were so pleased and will definetly visit again and stay at this home. I thank the owner so much for making this such a great experience.

A Perfect Place for a Perfect Week

This was our fourth year finding a home for two families of 4, now 4 of those kids are teens. We found Sandhill on VRBO and it ended up being perfect! Start your mornings under the wisteria on the front porch to plan your day, move to the kitchen in the afternoon for wine time and a rousing game of Gin and finish your days at the long, comfortable dining room for conversation recapping your day and planning tomorrows! The yard is unbelievably huge!! Room enough for Badminton and Cornhole! We saw the Milky Way from the beach a half block away and just had a wonderful time. We love that there was no cable, but the wireless came in handy and the movie selection (for our one rainy night) was great for all ages! The house is comfy, homey, plenty of linens and housewares!
The kids walked to the beach and Barbs and photos don't do the house justice it is a gem! The Rainy night was also our night for take out and the pizza from The North Shore (name??) was hot, tasty and fairly priced!
We will be back!!! Thank you for opening your home to us!!!

We loved the "new vacation rental". The house is so welcoming and comfortable and the perfect location to walk to our favorite activities in Northport. Marcia has all the modern conveniences and extras we have not found at other rentals in the area. We rent two homes for our family of 14 or so each summer. This time we congregated for all our indoor family time at Marcia's. Some of our favorite Northport activites we enjoyed this time were beach time and SUP boarding on the bay, evening walks around town, perseid star showers at Peterson Park, sunrise at the beach with coffee and donuts from Barb's bakery, ceramics for the kids on a rainy day, dune climb and picnic at Sleeping Bear, wine tasting and of course reading on the front porch.

I almost don't want the word to get out about this place! It was 100% perfect, and we are a picky group. We went for a girls weekend with my mom, niece, and two sisters, and there was plenty of space. The kitchen was the perfect size for cooking and the dining area could seat at least eight people. The bedrooms were large and the two bathrooms were also a good size. This place would be perfect for friends, or families with kids, since there are two bedrooms with queen beds and two with bunk/twin beds. It is in a good location, a very short walk to the grocery store and breakfast, and Marcia is a breeze to work with. I recommend this place wholeheartedly.

WONDERFUL Rental in Northport !!!!

Our family of 7 spent a wonderful week at this house !! The location is absolutely perfect and only a few short blocks from Lake Michigan.. The place doesn't have any television station access but it does provide a dvd and access to Netflix and we soooo enjoyed watching different movies and shows off of Netflix (when we weren't outside) so much so that we really didn't miss watching daily television shows !! If you are use to air conditioned rentals, this place only provides fans and ceiling fans but on a cooler week than we experienced, there would be no issues whatsoever !! We loved how the house was decorated and the use of a propane grill.. THANKS SO MUCH TO MARCIA FOR MAKING EVERYTHING WONDERFUL FOR US !! We will definitely rent this place again !! :)

Owner's Response: Thank you, T! Who knew it would be over 90 EVERY DAY of your vacation week in Northern Michigan!?!?!? Wish I could arrange sunny, 75 degree days and 55 degree sleeping nights for everybody....

Just a minor clarification for future readers of your review, this house is near Grand Traverse Bay.... not the open water of Lake Michigan. The nearest Lake Michigan beach is about 3 miles away.
