Beachfront vacation rentals in Lake Charlevoix

Wow! if I could turn my car around and go right back to Miriah's place, I would do it in a heartbeat! We took our 3 kids for a quick Fall Break trip to Elk Rapids and we all fell in love with Miriah's place and this amazing little town. The house is a perfect layout for families, with lots of common spaces to hang out together AND enough sitting nooks for people to find quiet places to read and relax too. The kitchen has got to be the most well stocked Airbnb kitchen I've ever been to. Next time, I'll plan to cook more because now I know Miriah's house literally has EVERYTHING you might need to cook and serve a big group. The house was spotlessly clean, the furniture was super comfy and we slept super well. We loved walking to the beach, playing at the playground, watching people catch fish by the dam, walking to the shops in town, and enjoying the incredible views. This place exceeded our expectations in every way. Thanks for a great stay!

Amazing home with 5 min walk to downtown Walloon. Huge yard with fire pit and hot tub! We loved our stay here and recommend this to anyone considering Walloon accommodations!

Mark & Mary are always great hosts. We were a little confused by the heating system and Mary very quickly reached out to ensure we were in good shape, even decently late. When a snow storm came and temperatures plunged, Mark was quick to come and salt the sidewalks. Always responsive and kind, will be visiting again.

What a beautiful place to hang our hats at. We really enjoyed the view and the amenities were amazing. Also the mattresses were great!!!

My family and I had a fantastic stay at Elizabeth’s place and was exactly as described- beautiful lake view/sunsets, well-equipped, comfortable beds, and great layout for multi-family (a plus I could bring my pup along)! It was a perfect centralized location to the activities we had planned for Memorial Day weekend (1 hr to Mackinaw City, 1 hr to Traverse City, 10 minutes to Boyne City, 30 minutes to Charlevoix and Petoskey). Elizabeth was very responsive and ensured check-in/check-out went smoothly. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Place was exactly as described. Perfect location for our needs and the ability to bring our dogs was a huge plus. House was spacious and well kept. Would stay here again

Loved this great find near Traverse City! The property was beautiful with a cute little beach. There were beach chairs on the sand and above on an astroturf seating area. There were also a couple docks to walk out farther onto the water. Our dogs enjoyed the slight waves and exploring the wooded area on leash. The cabin was clean and comfortable. It was about 20 minutes to Traverse City, so it was easy to get to lots to do as well as the beautiful beaches in the area. We loved sitting at the public beach with our dogs. Such a relaxing place to stay and a great town to enjoy with family and pets.

Super cute and cozy cabin that was perfect for our group of 6 while we were in town for the Bayshore Marathon. We enjoyed our stay!

Beach Bliss was a perfect get away with gorgeous views! The unit was very clean and inviting. Dandan was very attentive with any questions we may have had. I would highly recommend her place.

Great condo - even brighter, cheerier, and roomier than pictured! Condo was clean, beds were comfortable, lots of linens and beach towels, games, well stocked kitchen.... and the view of the lake is fantastic! There were no neighbors when we were there so it was very quiet. Just minutes to Nub's Nob and the Highlands. Lots of choices for restaurants near by and good grocery store nearby. Host was ultra available and accommodating with lots of instructional / helpful signage throughout the condo, lots of extras!!! Thanks for a great stay! Looking forward to going back!!

As always, Shanty Creek did not disappoint! The view was spectacular, with full fall colors popping! We got to walk the Legend golf course several times, and the colors were amazing on that, too. This unit is cozy and absolutely perfect for a couple getting away for a few days. We would definitely return to this unit any time of year!

We love the Gaylord area! Reasonable distance to Mackinac Island and all the wonderful places and beautiful wildlife.

This was our first trip with our 4 young adult children, their spouses, & our grand baby's 1st vacation. Absolutely thoughtful and intentional details to make our stay fun and cozy: yard games, kayaks, beach lounge chairs, fire pit and Adirondack chairs, cozy blankets to snuggle on the sofas, and spacious property allowed us to have privacy yet spend special time together. Also, the dining for 10 was just perfect with all the kitchen appliances and supplies to make special home cooked meal.

Holly communicated very well and answered questions very quickly. The home is beautiful and clean. Outside wild turkey and around 10 deer ran through to the valley below. It’s close to the shops and the lodge. We walked to dinner and drinks. I would definitely book again and would recommend this place and Holly!!! Thank you for a great place to stay over the weekend!!!

I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! It was conveniently located. Rick was very responsive and had very clear instructions for us. It was also very clean and tidy!!! I would recommend this to others, and hope to be back sometime. Thank you Rick!!!

Jesse was a great host and we enjoyed staying at their place! We appreciated the private beach to play at and the pool was well maintained. There were plenty of food and entertainment options that Jesse recommended in their binder, and all were fantastic choices. The views were amazing from the living room/patio, and it felt very private. We couldn’t see any other guest and did not hear neighbors. It was very peaceful being on site and we could definitely see about renting the place again in the future! Jesse was a great host, communicated early and often, and made sure our stay was a pleasant one. Overall, great experience and thank you for letting us stay at your lovely home!

My family had a great stay at Kelly’s home. The location is really everything you could hope for on Torch lake. The private beach and access to the water is really a game changer if you want to enjoy some time on Torch with small kids.

Karen’s cabin was well stocked, spacious and adorable, exactly as described. Karen was also extremely communicative and accommodating for our group and we would happily return and recommend her cabin for anyone looking for a comfortable, unique stay at Torch Lake.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property - hosts were highly responsive and accommodating to our requests. Highly recommend!

My fiancé stayed here for a weekend with his friends and they had a great time! Tara was quick with responses and was a great host! :)

This cozy, quiet, very clean and homey space has become our favorite rental home of all we have rented. The personal touches really made us feel we were staying at a family or friend’s home. It had paper ware, seasonings, clean pots pans, coffee, zip lock bags, candles throughout the home. The bedding, pillows and towels were top notch. Not to mention the wonderful hot tub, kayaks, dock space, grill and fire pit. I will make mention the 2 bedroom are upstairs. 2 full bathrooms but bathroom upstairs next to bed rooms is a bathtub only. Mark was so pleasant and attentive to answer any of our questions and we look forward to a return trip.

Lovey home. Beautiful location. Very clean. Amply stocked. Great communication. For those who have problems with many stairs…. This is NOT a good fit. There are twenty steps each time you enter or leave the home. Outside there are more stairs to move to the lower level.

The space was clean and very functional. We loved the neighborhood. It was quiet. We had everything we needed. We liked being able to cook and made a simple dinner after a long day of leaf peeping and visiting Chateau Chantal.

Thank you for the perfect getaway! Moondance Shores is a peaceful and modern home with gorgeous views of the lake! The location is incredible - tucked away in nature, yet a quick drive to town. This home is an absolute gem! Christiane is a kind, responsive, and helpful host. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! We hope to visit again soon!
