Dedicated Owners who truly care about making this your best vacation ever!

Finding a vacation rental is stressful! Finding the right house for a once-a-year trip is a lot of work and I’m here to help you decide if our house if right for you or not. Your happiness makes us happy so we’ll be 100% honest with all questions asked. I want to share the intangible aspects that you can't see in a photo but can make your vacation that much sweeter.

WHY TCH - Third Coast Hideaway?

It solves so many common big group/family vacation fun busters. As much as we all love going on vacation and love the ones we're with - big group vacations can turn south real quick. After taking many myself, the key is to provide everyone their own space, to explore the area as they want, yet come all together for things like a meal or a group sailing excursion. Below are just some of the reasons why we knew it was the one & why you'll be the rock star of the group for booking TCH!

A FIGHT SQUASHER! Big families/groups of all ages can do what they individually want, whether it’s by foot, bike, Interurban, or kayak. No need for a car. It’s normal and very healthy to venture out separately (individually or by family) and then all come back together for dinner. Plus, there's a lot more to talk about! #TCHPriceless

FENCED-IN YARD: You get to RELAX and sip your coffee/wine in the screened in porch while the young children can explore the lockable fenced in yard area. (This area is just a portion of the property next to the screened in porch.) This feature alone is worth choosing TCH! You can be busy in the kitchen and your kids can be running around in the backyard without having to be worried! Your kids will be ecstatic at their newfound freedom and you can enjoy that cup of coffee or actually close your eyes to soak in the sun without a care in the world. #TCHPriceless

You will be required to sign our short-term lease agreement and house rules to confirm your stay. We have neighbors that we care about and live next to long after you've gone home. So, we want only renters that actually think it's a bonus that the house has a no-loud-noise curfew from 9 pm to 9 am. For our happiness and yours, we need to make that very clear that we cannot tolerate loud groups.

All Nice People Welcome: We do not discriminate based on race, sexual orientation, gender, religion, disability, national origin or any other reason people have found to discriminate. All are welcome in our home!! We believe in equality for everyone. Our home is a place where all should feel safe and be able to enjoy the beauty of Michigan.
