Vacation rentals with beach access in Lake County

I very much enjoyed my stay! The apartment was cozy, and it had everything I needed. It was just a short walk from downtown, and I felt very comfortable in the neighborhood. Scott was a very friendly and communicative host, and I would definitely stay there again!

The Airbnb was beyond expectation. Absolutely stunning and a picture perfect location. This will be our go-to location whenever in the area. Thank you, Barry!

Two Lakes Lodge was the perfect place to kick off our Michigan trip! We loved it so much, we already booked our next stay! The home was spotless, beautifully updated, and in the absolute best location. Right in the heart of town! Walking distance to several restaurants, coffee shop, local markets, and ice cream! We noticed a few reviews mention water pressure or a sulfur smell, but we simply followed the host’s tip to run the water for a few minutes when we arrived and we had zero issues. The water was hot, pressure was great, and everything worked perfectly. Truly a wonderful stay. You won’t be disappointed!

Wonderful place to stay off-season. Exactly what we were looking for. Very convenient and effortless check-in check-out.

An absolutely beautiful space and amazing hosts. I had the perfect stay with Monica and Gary, they were so friendly and helpful. The apartment is the cleanest rental I have ever stayed in by far, the view from the balcony is beautiful and the lake access is beautiful with a large sandy beach. I will definitely be staying here again when I visit lake city. Also, very comfy beds and a quiet peaceful neighborhood. Highly recommend.

The place looked exactly like the pictures. The views and proximity of the lake were excellent. The home was clean and inviting. We can't wait to book again with David.

We've stayed a few times with Dave and always love our time here. He is very responsive to questions, makes excellent suggestions, and even provides a holiday touch. We love staying here with access to the kayaks on Portage Lake in the summer and the beautiful views year-round.

Great comfortable stay in Manistee! Place has great vibes!

This was a LOVELY place to stay at. The scenery is amazing, the place is so spacious, and the location is very private! The Host was so friendly and helpful the entire time we stayed. 10/10 would recommend

This was our 2nd stay at Carlton’s “The Dove Shack.” It was just what we needed for our stay. Everything was perfect during our 1st stay, we were happy the airbnb was available for us again. The airbnb was nice, clean, well-stocked, and roomy enough for spending time with friends and family. The best part was meeting and conversing with our host Carlton. During our conversation we realized there was a connection. Carlton made us feel welcomed and kept the lines of communication open. Carlton also made sure to leave a meal for us to prepare upon arrival. Thank you again for allowing us to stay at your airbnb. We’re looking forward to staying again soon. Angela & Friends! 🙂

First of all David is the man, Magnificent host, and beautiful cabin love the decor David chose for the cabin, pool was clean and well maintained canoes were awesome to have access too. We will definitely be back my kids and us had a blast.

Pros: Little Star Lake is beautiful, serene, and so quiet! The cottage is clean and feels newly updated, kitchen is very well equipped. Huge propane grill, propane campfire, traditional wood fire pit on beach with cooking surface, Keurig (BYO k cups, none provided) all are cool amenities I didn’t know from the listing. Also, a very nice water cooler is provided bc the well water has a metallic taste. The pontoon (runs with solar powered battery) is so fun for kids to jump off in the middle of the lake. Such a great set up for young kids. Several beach towels are provided, which helps with no dryer available. Cons: The host takes a long time to respond to communication. We had asked for pool heat more than 2 weeks in advance. 5 days prior to our stay she finally responded with the assurance that there would be pool heat. When we arrived, there was no pool heat, and we had to deal with some devastated kids. The host did allow us free use of kayaks to make up for no heat.

Always a great experience. It’s what keeps us coming back every year. The cabin has everything we need for our comfort and convenience to some really world-class fishing

Overall, I stayed for 2 weeks. The first week was with my family. My grandchildren are young, so that the beach and lake were perfect for them..sandy bottom and shallow for a distance. Also, it was great for kayaking and paddle boarding. The 2nd week was with 2 girlfriends and we enjoyed the peace and quiet. We didn't get in our cars to go anywhere all week!! Hung out on the lovely deck and beach, drank wine and grilled perfect dinners. At night, had beach fires most nights. And the stars at night were spectacular!!! The hosts were great. Always responsive, friendly and helpful. The setting was lovely and was everything I expected. Thank you!!!

It’s a great place to stay if your looking to get out if the big cities for a weekend. Right on a small lake with plenty to do. Kayak, fishing, swimming. And just being outside.

We really enjoyed our time at the Cozy Cove. It's one of our favorite places to stay in Idlewild. Charles is kind and the space is beautiful.

We loved our stay here! The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach, which made it easy to enjoy the lake for sunset. The view of the small lake across the street from the big windows was beautiful, and we really appreciated the black out curtains for a good night’s sleep. The space was clean, the bathroom was spotless, and the bed was super comfortable. Would definitely stay again!

The hosts were very accommodating and responded quickly. The place is huge, comfortable and spacious. Our family loved it and we hope to return in the future.

We had a great tome and Alicia’s place was spectacular! Very cozy and lots of amenities! Super convenient yet private!

We had a great time and would stay longer next time!

Place was beautiful and peaceful. Lots to explore and near many cafes. Love the view.

This house was a great getaway with our grandchildren. It had plenty of room and all the amenities we needed. We especially loved the pools and the ability to walk to the beach. The kids enjoyed the bunk beds and the room to spread out. We made most of our meals there and the kitchen had everything we needed. Manistee is a terrific and quaint town. We loved the walk along the riverfront and the renovated movie theatre.

Elisa was a wonderful host. The condo is impeccably clean, simple, elegant, and the view was stunning. The pool was warm and hot tub hot. Thank you for the quiet, relaxing, peaceful stay. -Angela Coussens

I had an absolutely amazing stay at James' place! The view of Portage Lake from the property was breathtaking, and the overall experience was top-notch. James and Lillian were exceptional hosts, going above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. The attention to detail, the cozy atmosphere, and their warm hospitality truly made this trip unforgettable. I can't wait to return and enjoy another stay in this incredible Airbnb. Highly recommended!
