The Sundowner - Gorgeous Victorian Home Just 1 Block from Beach and Downtown!

Welcome to our charming Victorian beach house, steps from the beach and Main Street in downtown Frankfort! The house comfortably sleeps 9, with 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. New furniture, fresh paint, beautiful landscaping, new bathrooms and lots of nice finishing touches makes it super cheerful and comfortable. With a private back patio, you can relax quietly, bbq, and hang out with friends & family. If you want a bit more action, you can sit on the lovely front porch and people watch.​


NEIGHBORHOOD:

The property is right in the heart of downtown Frankfort! It is just 1 block from Main Street and 2 blocks from the beach. Frankfort has a lovely family and dog-friendly public beach on Lake Michigan and the downtown area has a growing array of shops, restaurants, cafes, a microbrewery (Stormcloud), and a movie theatre (The Garden Theater). There is also a pier that goes out into Lake Michigan and a rather famous lighthouse at the end of the pier. All of this is just a short walk from the house!


THE SPACE:

One of the best features of the house is its location. You are literally a block from Frankfort's amazing public beach, and steps from all the shops, restaurants and activities on Main Street. We have high speed wi-fi, a smart TV, and 2 desks with office chairs in case you need to work remotely. We supply all linens, outdoor grill and even our beach cart, so all you need to do is show up and relax. Also, although the house does not have central air conditioning, there are window air conditioning units in all of the bedrooms.


TRANSIT:

It is suggested that guests have their own vehicle, but since the property is downtown you can just walk around and enjoy yourself without a vehicle.

Great place and location!

Well appointed home and about a block to the public beach! Comfy bed and plenty of seating in the living room for watching tv at night. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and the quality of the pots, pans, utensils are good. Our pup loved the front porch - the fenced yard is nice too.

Enjoyable stay

We throughly enjoyed our stay. This was a perfect place to relax. We arrived to a nicely updated home with a well appointed kitchen and comfortable beds. We also really appreciated the blackout blinds in the bedrooms. The public beach, restaurants and shops are within quick walking distance. The hosts were responsive and easy to communicate with. Thanks for a great stay!

My Mom, dog and I stayed at the Sundowner. We love this beautiful home just one block from the beach and Frankfort pier and lighthouse. Sundowner is very clean and has a well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds and furniture. We spend a lot of time on the little patio. It is really the perfect place to experience Frankfort from!

Great location

We enjoyed our stay here! It is a nice large home, clean with updates. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were cute. We loved the coffee options and extras in the kitchen. Our doggie liked the little fenced in area. Such a short easy walk to the beach or downtown shopping and restaurants. Recommend for a big group!

Great Frankfort Getaway Weekend

This was the perfect place for our family of twelve which included two families and grandparents. The house was great, the owners were very accommodating and easy to work with, and the location was about a block to the beach and a block to town. Thank you for helping us to have such a wonderful weekend!

Family Fun in Frankfort

So much space for a toddler and kids to navigate and spread out in sleeping areas. Everything fun was in walking distance——— beach and restaurants, and the extremely important MOOMERS ice cream!!! Sleeping Bear Dunes near enough to commit a day there and to eat at Boondocks before heading home!!! Beautiful place with the comforts of home to ensure a return visit,

Perfect Frankfort Location

Our 4th rental from Agape in Frankfort and most certainly one of the best! House is neat and clean, 2 blocks from downtown and 2 ish to the beach. Kitchen well supplied. Manager SUPER REPONISIVE! Quiet back porch for down time and front porch for people watching. There IS a washer/dryer- yeah! There has to be a balance comment, right? Maybe a little color to to neutral decor! But really, just go to the gorgeous beach.

The location was great. Appreciated the fenced backyard for our dog. There are a few repairs that need to be done to both showers and some rooms do not have heat upstairs, so we had to leave the doors open. It is hard to get out of car on right side, perhaps trim the bush next to? There are very few wall hangings for decor, upstairs none, the ones downstairs in dining room need to be framed, the driftwood is ugly. The house in general is too gray, add some color please. But walking to the beach and Main St restaurants was an excellent perk!
