Staying at this cottage at Harbor Village was a delight! We enjoyed the wonderful beach, just 5 minutes away. The indoor pool was large and just a block away. It was fun seeing residents walk their dogs, ride bikes, and jog past. The fresh breeze off Lake Michigan was invigorating. Truly a magical week!
Great property! View was wonderful. Very quiet and peaceful. Cottage was stocked with perfect items down to the games and cards in the closet. Property management responded quickly and were professional, kind and resolved concerns quickly. Wish we were able to get the temperature inside below 74 degrees, otherwise the stay was great!
