Spacious Cottage Close to Beach

Adorable three-bedroom cottage located in between Downtown Lexington and Fort Gratiot. This spacious cottage can sleep up to 8, perfect for those family gatherings. Sit on the large porch and enjoy the pleasant breeze. The cottage has window AC’s for those warm summer days and central heat for those chilly nights. Enjoy starry nights by the bonfire to roast marshmallows and make memories. Or, enjoy the beach that's 200 steps away once you walk to the driveway. You can collect beach glass or simply relax! Close to downtown to visit the shops, fishing, kayak rentals, a public park, beach, and pier. Stay awhile and experience what it means to be on Thumb time.
*Property has outdoor cameras for security.

Great Family Cottage

The cottage had everything we needed, very nicely decorated, and especially loved the Weber grill. Even thought the weather was up in the 90's the cottage stayed nice and cool. The beach is very close and wonderful for kayaking and paddle boarding.The only thing I would suggest is replacing the mattresses in the two main floor bedrooms. The upstairs mattress I heard was pretty good though.

50 Birth Chill Girl Getaway

Crystal’s property was the perfect backdrop for a chill weekend with my friends. We had all the room to stretch out and read, do crafts, cook and eat delicious food, mix up delicious cocktails, and float at the beach. Beds were comfy, amenities were stocked. The front porch was dreamy. Decor is cute and cozy. As a rules girl, I totally appreciated Crystal’s clear expectations. She was excellent to work with.

Very cute cottage!

Great price and nice cottage! Nice area not far from the beach. Lots of rules. Only negative is the grill wasn’t gas, so no grilling unless you want to buy a bunch of extra stuff just for one meal. Would definitely recommend!
