Beachfront holiday rentals in Benzie County

Beautiful place to stay! Photos don’t do it justice. Would highly recommend staying here :)

Our stay in Frankfort was a first for my sisters and I. It was a delightful city. We walked to local restaurants and brewery. People were friendly. The house was large and we all had plenty of space. Bed’s comfortable. Beach access was nice even though our weather was cold.

Nice home, kitchen was big and open. I was able to bring the dogs. We came with my elderly parents and they stayed on the main level. They have a very steep hill in the back to the water. The children loved the water and didn’t mind the hill.

We enjoyed our stay at the Kaap cottage. Loved the sunroom that overlooked the lake and had a great view of the sunsets. Beds were comfortable with plenty of blankets available. WIFI was iffy at times fading in and out, especially if more than 2 people were using it at a time. We would definitely recommend a stay there.

We only stayed one night but had such a great time as soon as we arrived. Denise’s home is a total gem with charming/expansive landscaping, and our pup loved running around the fenced in acre and hanging out with the resident dogs. The lake was pristine and we were able to take advantage of kayaks and paddle boards before grabbing dinner in Frankfort nearby. Our bedroom was tucked away near the front entrance, cozy with a newly renovated adjacent bathroom. We enjoyed lovely conversation with Denise and she was also kind enough to surprise us with an amazing breakfast spread. Wish more airbnbs were like this!

This is a very cute cottage. I have stayed here before and have enjoyed it. It’s right on Crystal Lake and the view is incredible. We had a great time staying there.

Second time staying at Moon Cottage. Great location. Walkable to everything in Frankfort. House had everything I needed, was clean, quiet and loved the outside deck to sit and watch butterflies.

We absolutely love Lucy’s cabin. It’s so peaceful and serene and healing. The walk to Lake Michigan is my favorite part of the location. Just right down the street is the most breathtaking beach front access of Lake Mi. Thanks again Lucy! 11/10 will always recommend.

Our family of five loved our stay! The house was exactly as described and sat on a beautiful lake. We were close to Crystal ski resort and close to Lake Michigan so we were able to ski and walk the beach. We were also close to Frankfurt and enjoyed our trips into town for coffee and dinner. What stood out the most was Chris’s responsiveness and willingness to accommodate our change in dates. We had a great week and would love to be back for a summer visit.

This was a wonderful spot on Crystal Lake. This cottage was super cozy and the surrounding neighbors were friendly. We would absolutely stay here again!

We had a GREAT weekend at Trout Lily Cabin! Close to skiing at Crystal Mountain! Beautiful private setting in the woods! Cozy home that looked just as described and pictured! The furniture and bed were very comfortable! Vacasa was great to communicate with! I highly recommend renting this property! We look forward to coming back to the Trout Lily Cabin! Thank you!

A true lake cottage nicely renovated and well-kept. Can’t do any better in this area.

Tiera’s Sanford Lake Cottage could not have been more perfect for our family! My three teenagers, mom, sister and I stayed in the cottage for five days. We were in town for my daughter’s Interlochen Academy graduation. even though the temperatures are very cold all week, my teenagers still got out on the kayaks and fish from the dock. We built a fire in the fire pit and made s’mores, and cooked our breakfast and a couple dinners in the well stocked kitchen. I also set up, decorated and had my daughter‘s graduation party for our family at the cottage. Being 1000 miles from home and trying to plan a graduation party for one of your children can be a tricky ordeal! The cottage could not have been a more beautiful, peaceful, cozy place for our family to gather! So grateful to have found Tiera’s listing! We were sad to leave the beautiful lakeside retreat!

A great lakeside weekend! The home has since been remodeled from photos in the listing and it is amazing: -bright open kitchen with new appliances and plenty of kitchenware -open floor plan to cozy living room with fireplace and views of lake -very clean and comfortable bedrooms -big back deck for dining and outside play -lake side fire pit for evening smores! -private beach front with dock, clean shallow water perfect for kids Location is ideal for exploring nearby Sleeping Bear National park, local hikes and beaches and cute towns nearby. We will be back!

We had a wonderful time at Paul's place! The house was beautiful, clean, and spacious, perfect for our large family gathering. The private beach and pristine Crystal Lake is steps away. There were tons of toys, games, bikes, sand toys, and water sports items (rowboat, stand up paddleboard etc.) available for use. The downstairs laundry was really useful. Having 4 bathrooms was ideal for a large group. Downtown Beulah is an easy bike ride away. We hope to visit again!

This is a great place. We enjoyed the stay very much. The house is on the expensive side but does provide great value and the team a perfect service. Outstanding as far as we go. One of the best AirBnBs we have stayed at. One small downside is the resort the house is a part of. That is not as explicit in the add. The resort as such is also great unless you share it as one family with a huge group that has its downside. As long as there is a mix of people everything is great.

We spent a wonderful week at MaryBeth’s place. The location of their house is great - we loved being on Platte lake (being a safe lake for the kids), but so close to Crystal Lake, Lake Michigan, Frankfort, hiking trails, and Sleeping Bear Dunes. We really enjoyed the property beach, the kayaks and the row boat. The house was comfortable, the kitchen was on the smaller side but had everything we needed (and more) to cook a meal for the family. We loved having lunch on the deck and enjoyed the fire pit a few nights. Overall, we had a great time and highly recommend wha’cha dune!

Adorable cozy cottage. We fit 4 ladies comfortably and could easily fit 6 with each getting our own bed. More for couples/kids. Beach area and lake are awesome. Loved that it came with paddle board, paddle boat, canoe, kayak, beach chairs. Fire pit was perfect. Secluded and halfway btwn cottage and beach, loved it! Thank you Karen!!

This place worked out very well for our family, and there are lots of things to do in the area. It was exceptionally clean and had a well stocked kitchen.

We so enjoyed our family trip here! It felt like a tree house upstairs looking out to trees and the lake. It was a cozy family room area. We had a great time kayaking in big Sanford lake. It was so peaceful on the weekdays we were there. Sometimes we were the only kayakers. It was close to Traverse City and we checked out Frankfort and Crystal Mountain too. Overall would recommend!

Our family had a lovely stay. We loved the sauna, lake for cold plunges, and the kayaks that were available for use allowed us to get some great times on the water with little fuss. We also enjoyed the outside furniture and fire options. Sunsets are spectacular here!

Such a beautiful home for our getaway with friends and all of our children! Close to a playground and lots of restaurants. So spacious and well maintained. Just a short walk up to the lake overlook which was gorgeous, especially at sunset. Very peaceful, clean and well equipped. Would absolutely love to come back and I highly recommend Bob as a host.
