Phenomenal Stay!

The warmth, layout and location are fantastic. We loved our time at this home and our time in Glen Arbor. It was perfect for our family of 6. It was incredibly clean, everything worked, and the management company was extremely responsive. We would definitely stay here again!

Exceptional rental

The attention to details in this home were exceptional, and the location on the bay was delightful. Kitchen very accommodating for cooking, we enjoyed outdoor fires at the comfortable fire pit multiple nights (and watched the sunset!), and hosts were responsive and helpful. Excellent rental.

Paradise!

We had a wonderful trip to Glen Arbor and the Island View house. Our kids loved the play room and the bunk beds. Everything easy access and well appointed. Owners were very helpful/responsive. The beach and the water were perfect, and the fire pit was fun for s’mores. We went into town, jogged up to the sleeping Bear dunes and rode bikes on the well manicured trails. Hope to return again soon!

Fabulous Stay

We spent a week at Island View on Sleeping Bear Bay in Glen Arbor. It is a fabulous rental, with a cook’s delight kitchen. The views are spectacular and the sunsets cannot be beat. I cannot say enough good things about this rental.

Beautiful Home, Relaxing Stay

The Island View House in Glen Arbor was a dream to stay at. Absolutely beautiful home situated on Lake Michigan. Left Coast Vacation Rentals was very responsive and I would definitely stay with them again.
