Great location!

We’ve been going to Beachwalk for over 15 years and this property was one of our favorites. Great sleeping accommodations, stocked with all the essentials, and a perfect location, close to the beach but a little off the main road for added quiet and privacy.

Cape Codder Rental

We have rented many homes in Beachwalk over the past twenty years. This was our first time staying in the Cape Codder and we loved it. This was one of our favorite Beachwalk houses. The house had everything you needed and more, and was in a great location. This house truly sleeps 10 very comfortably, perfect for a group of adults! The owner went out of her way to make our stay so enjoyable -- thank you!

Terrific Beach Weekend with Friends

We came with a group of 10 and it was exactly what we were looking for! Plenty of space, great location (easy 6-8 minute walk to the beach). One friend had a baby and the upstairs loft/“suite” was perfect for them. We hope to come back soon!

Perfect in everyway!

This owner cares about her property & her guests! So many thoughtful amenities & refreshing not to have to worry about basics like paper towels, spices, bath products etc. This home has the perfect layout which provides plenty of bathroom but multiple levels for privacy. We had great home cooked meals & lots of time in the back porch & fire pit. Location close to both pool & beach makes taking advantage of all amenities of Beacheakk!

Beautiful Property with lots of charm!

We have stayed along Lake Michigan for a few years now. This has been our favorite property to date! The house is amazing with lots of open space and plenty of room for large families. The large porches and multiple gathering areas allow for you to spread out, or gather in the large kitchen/dining area for a family meal. We spent out nights relaxing on the screened in porch. Beachwalk has lots to offer as well! You are well within walking distance to the pool and recreation area and minutes from Lake Michigan. The owner was extremely prompt with notifications and if we had any questions. I would not hesitate to rent here again. Thank you for offering this wonderful stay!

This home was wonderful. Host: Rachel was incredible even before we fully booked the house. Very responsive and was accommodating as we had questions, then some extenuating circumstances popped up prior and during our stay. Couldn’t have asked for a better host!House: We have stayed at many houses at Beachwalk. This one was different as it was off in a corner and was much quieter than the others. It backed up to the fountain which provided great scenery and “white noise” as we sat on the screened in porch. Rachel really does treat this as her own home as it felt “homey” and had all the “little things”. The second floor is insane for a group of older kids/teenagers. It was if they had their own apartment! Kitchen was stocked well with all different pots/pans and utensils in almost new condition. We brought some of our own but never had to unpack them. TV had some cable channels but also easy to stream or connect via HDMI. Plenty of beach towels and other accessories for the beach. House is very well located between the beach and the hut/clubhouse/pool and Lake Kai activities.All other items are accurate on the description. We had a great stay and would love to go back again!

We had a wonderful time staying at the Cape Codder. Could not recommend this house more. It was beautiful, spacious, and stocked with everything we need. The community has so much to offer and the beach is so easy to walk to! Would 100% stay again!

Charming Cottage

Six girlfriends & I spent the weekend at the lovely Cape Codder. We've stayed in may VRBO rentals and this home was better appointed than most. It had absolutely everything we needed. If it was warm enough to spend a lot of time on the beach, we would really have appreciated the chairs, umbrellas, beach towels & cooler as well as 2 wagons provided to transport the gear to the beach, which is an easy 2 block stroll through the charming Beachwalk community. We're already talking about returning in the spring. Thank you Raychel!

Fun family place.

Lovely home. Best suited for 3 couples + 4+ children depending upon age. While smaller than some properties within this vacation home community, it’s privacy and peacefulness was exceptional. I particularly appreciated the small but well appointed rear screened in porch overlooking the pond. The Beachwalk development is especially ideal for families with children - where people, bikes and golf carts take precedence over cars on its shady streets, and the beach is an easy walk away. A larger community pool would be preferable. A ceiling fan in the living room area would be nice and a working exhaust fan over the range is needed.

Beautiful Home

Raychel’s home is beautifully appointed in a quiet location within the Beachwalk Resort Community just a short walk from the beach access. There was plenty of room for 10 adults and 10 mos old twins. We cooked in and had just about everything we needed for this foody group. Someone did bring their own zester😉 We all agreed we would rent the home again!
