Great Home & Location, Needs Some TLC

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love staying in this house. We love the big, open concept so our entire family (17) can be together without being crowded. We love that there are so many bedrooms and bathrooms. With such a large group, we count on the second fridge in the garage. It's never clean when we get there, and this time, we had to go on a scavenger hunt to find the shelves. I think it may get forgotten. Additionally, things have really worn down over the years while the price has increased significantly.

Starry Nights in July

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 12 has stayed at Beachwalk for our annual family vacation a total of 8 times, in 5 different houses. Each had its pluses & minuses for our specific group. Space-wise, Starry Nights was our largest house. With the exception of the kitchen, we give it a 10. The kitchen layout is not optimal for multiple people prepping & cooking at the same time, & the logjam between the refrigerator door & the ice machine door was annoying, but tolerable for one week. The kitchen cabinets are badly in need of repainting. The AC, however, was exceptional on a VERY hot week with high heat indexes!!

Great Stay at Starry Nights

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great family reunion at Starry Nights in Beachwalk. The house served as a great base for all our activities - Blueberry and Cherry Picking, Fishing,Zoo. The golf cart included was extremely helpful in geting to the beach with all our stuff. The pool was clean, in great shape and enjoyed by everyone. The park with the slide was a daily stop for the kids. The house was great, clean, well maintained - a large kitchen table and another large table out back. We used the fire "pit" for smores several nights. The front porch was great for coffee in the morning and another area for the kids. The basement area even had a playroom for the kids. Several bedrooms had trundle beds which the kids loved. The office staff was very accessible and attentive. Will be back next year.

Loyal Customers

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed in this home for 3 years in a row. We have always loved it but were disappointed to see that things are starting to get run down. The ice machine that we counted on being there as usual was broken. The golf cart battery needed water and wasn’t working upon arrival. The downstairs refrigerator that we always use was dirty (hair, dirt, bandaids, etc). This is a great home but it felt like maybe the owners had grown complacent and counted on people booking rather than appreciating the loyal customers and improving (or at least maintaining) the standard, especially with the huge increase in price that we have seen year after year. On a positive note, we appreciate the amount of space and will miss the awesome front porch.

Starry Nights is great but needs improvements

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Having stayed at Starry Nights for five summers, we have always enjoyed our week. The first floor is spacious with a great kitchen and huge kitchen table. The grandkids were able to sleep downstairs in the bunk beds room. The back yard is great with a fire pit. However, certain aspects of the house have deteriorated over the years. A great impression walking onto the spacious front porch is diminished somewhat by paint pealing and not as clean. Leaves and dirt were in the screen. Going out the back door we saw a railing and stairs that needed scraping and painting. The downstairs refrigerator was filthy but housekeeping did come and clean it. Some of the bathroom sinks didn’t drain very well but we didn’t ask about that. In addition, the floors could use a good cleaning. The two full beds on the second floor still need replaced as I commented on a review in July of 2022. Hopefully we will be assured that these issues will be resolved in case we come again.

Our grandkids talk all year long about going to Starry Nights. We won't next year because we are going on a cruise. But we had a great time again this year.

Starry Nights with Family

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was definitely big enough for our 17 person family (10 adults and 7 kids). The bunk bed room was perfect for the kids, and the basement area was great for their play time when it was raining. There were enough bedrooms for all of us adults to have a bed also. The screened in porch was perfect for morning coffee and listening to the rain. The upper deck was perfect for after dinner hangouts. There were tons of appliances and cooking supplies that we did not have to bring anything, including an air fryer! We enjoyed our stay so much, and we are looking forward to vacationing here again.

Always a great week!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love staying with Beachwalk. FOr this particular house, we love it, but there are a few things that could be better... For instance, the couch has covers on it, but they are not a good fit, and honestly, the cushions are so worn out and just need replaced. I had to fix the covers multiple times a day. Some of the sheets also had holes in them. If you average out what we pay to stay per night, the bedding should definitely be hotel quality.

Being with the stars at Starry Night for four straight summers!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was great! Starry Nights is located right on the main street with room for two cars to park in the front and two in the back. All of eleven of us could eat at the table for meals. The kids loved fishing, the park, the pool, the beach...I could say more. One improvement that could be made would be to replace the beds in the guest bedroom with two full beds. Currently, the bed allows the person to sink in too much, so a firmer bed would be a great improvement. Both my son-in-law and daughter came away from the trip with sore back and it started after the first night and got progressively worse for them. But there were no other problems. The rest was great!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was beautiful! Had everything we needed for a getaway for 8 friends. This is our second year coming to Beachwalk for our annual girls trip but first time at Starry Nights. We will definitely be staying here again! Plenty of beds, big kitchen table to gather at, and ample parking. Our only (minor) problem was the thermostat. We had a hard time figuring out how to adjust it. A humidifier would also be helpful as it was pretty dry at night. Other than that it was wonderful!

The pool, lake and facilities were all very clean. We really enjoyed taking golf cart rides and seeing all the different houses. The house itself was very nice. The large open kitchen was great for family dinners. Beds and bathrooms were very clean. Everyone felt very comfortable during the stay. Lake Michigan is about a 15 minute walk or 5 minutes via golf cart. We can’t wait to visit again.
