Beautiful home / Wonderful Location
We have been traveling to Northern Michigan every summer for almost ten years now and compared with the two other houses we've rented in that time this was hands down the most comfortable, well maintained home we've had the pleasure of staying at. Quiet and welcoming with wonderful views of the water and access to a great Michigan beach. Close to Northport (and other communities) but with a relaxing sense of seclusion.

Tremendous Vacation Home
Had an amazing time at Over the Edge! The house was exactly as described and the beach was far better! Could not have asked for a better place to unwind on summer vacation.

Beautifully Situated
The beach access and sunsets are amazing. Quiet area, nice property. Short ride to town. Home was comfortable. One of the bedroom areas pictured is open/loft style, no door, above the kitchen area - which was nice, but not something we anticipated in terms of our family/extended family sleeping configuration. Well equipped home. Loved our stay in Northport!

Lovely property
This is a large 4 bedroom well appointed property. Really too big for just me. The location can not be beat with easy access to Northport, even by bike, and access to a beach where one can take really long walks. The two decks are lovely for meals. The kitchen is great. The knives are sharp! The management company was very cooperative. Sadly, we got off on the wrong foot because the house had not been cleaned. And when the crew showed up they did not do a decent job….

Great house
Great house. Great setting. Only negatives were a lack of decent pans for cooking and outdoor grill was difficult to light and marginal for cooking.

Beautiful scenic setting and peaceful, house was nice.
Excellent rental experience and friendly communication from start to finish, the whole peninsula is a paradise and this is one of the beautiful places. House was nice sitting area could be better but who wants to sit when there is so much beauty outdoors :-) I would recommend as a great value for the price!! Need to experience the view in person!

Over the moon at "Over the "Edge"
From the moment we reached the front door and could see the spectacular view that lay ahead, we knew we made the right choice with this vacation home. The house itself is spacious and appointed with everything needed to feel at home. The furnishings are quite lovely and comfortable and we settled in quickly. We made use of the gas grill and fire pit as well as the two decks, and found some beach chairs to take down to the water. The beach itself is gorgeous and perfect for walking and playing (although my tender-footed husband wished he had brought some water shoes for the little stretch of rocks before hitting sand as he ventured into the water). The stars were amazingly bright at Christmas Cove. Our travels into Northport and the other surrounding towns led us to friendly people, delicious food, tasty wines and ciders and all around fun. Over the Edge was the perfect spot to reunite our four kids, their boyfriends/girlfriends and us...traveling from Utah, Arizona and the Kalamazoo area. We only had four days and three nights but we had a blast! We hope to make it an annual event. Thank you to the owners and managers for a memorable vacation.
