Waterfront apartment rentals

Apartment in Manistee
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 261 reviewsBeautiful Historic Building on Manistee River Walk
Gorgeous apartment with high ceilings, a balcony overlooking the river, and a perfect location in lovely downtown Manistee. Barry was a great host and made us feel so welcome and comfortable. Thank you so much!

Apartment in Lake City
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 121 reviewsLake City Landings Unit 1
Could be a little confusing to get to without the clear instructions given at check in. Appreciated quick responses when we had questions!

Apartment in Ludington
4.87 out of 5 average rating, 147 reviewsUnit #32, One Bedroom, Lakeside, Ludington Beach House
We loved the idea of converting an old motel into a more comfortable and spacious place right across from the beach. The bed was comfortable, "living" room space with table, microwave and fridge were just what we needed, and folks we met were very friendly. We'd stay here again!

Apartment in Fennville
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 293 reviewsSecluded & Quiet on the Beautiful Kalamazoo River
The pictures don’t do it justice, you have to stay there to really see how gorgeous it is.. it was so extremely peaceful and welcoming pulling up. I arrived at night and there were two Christmas trees already lit that looked so beautiful at the main house. I would absolutely stay here again, the location is absolutely beautiful and just what I needed!

Apartment in Houghton
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 104 reviewsComfortable apartment next to the Lift Bridge
Clean, convenient and comfortable: three simple words to describe Trisha’s place, but it was so much more. This is a very pretty and spacious apartment located over a bakery that sits on Lakeshore Drive in downtown Houghton with a spectacular view of the canal. The location is very convenient and walkable to everything downtown. The apartment is a one bedroom with an open kitchen/dining/living room. We loved the recliners in the living room. The hosts have tried to think of everything to make their guests comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked, including a Keurig and a standard coffee maker. Checking in was easy, and Trisia answered every question I had within minutes. I highly recommend this great place!

Apartment in Marquette
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 179 reviewsRandom Point: Apartment Tree House
This place is beautiful. The beach was great. We really loved the sauna. We had campfires every night. I would recommend this place for a peaceful relaxing weekend. Can’t wait to come back again.

Apartment in Charlevoix
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 136 reviewsArtsy Downtown Apt w Private Parking, Rave reviews
Our stay at Kathy’s place was perfect! The rental was spotless upon are arrival and Kathy was extremely flexible with check in and checkout. Her communication before and during our stay was outstanding and prompt. Kathy went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable during are stay. I would definitely recommend her place and happily rent from her again in the future.

Apartment in Beaver Island
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 126 reviewsSpacious Apt Steps from the Beaver Island Ferry
This apartment had room to spare! It was well-stocked, very clean, and was filled with sunlight. What struck us the first time we entered, and each time afterwards, was just how roomy the apartment was. The 10-foot ceilings only added to the feeling of spaciousness. And since we were there after the busiest part of the season, it was also blessedly quiet. The attached deck was a bonus that offered a beautiful view of the harbor.

5 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviewsLakefront living at its best!
Great location for ice fishing. Listing is accurate, spacious and clean. Will definitely book again and look forward to checking this home out for a summer trip. Host is very responsive, friendly and helpful!

Home in Harbor Beach
4.82 out of 5 average rating, 11 reviewsHarborBeach Haven & Event Lodge! 300' of Lakefront
Great space for large groups! The restaurant kitchen made meals easy! The individual hotel rooms were nice so everyone had their private space. The beach was definitely not swimmable. It was very mucky. We did not have swimming weather anyhow! The air in the main part was a challenge. It was a large room, but didn’t seem like it was cooling the area.

Home in Wyandotte
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 38 reviewsBeautiful waterfront on channel with boat dock
Nice interior and the patio is nice, body length mirrors in every room and a fish tank nice place to stay if you have a small family

Home in Harrison Township
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 29 reviewsWelcome to lake living on Lk. St. Clair. 3 bd 2bth
We enjoyed a few days at Troy’s lake house. Contacted Troy about the Heat not being on but with a flip of a switch it warmed right up. Troy was very responsive during our stay. We will be back to enjoy in the warm weather!

A great escape even in the winter months. Home is well set up with activities and the hosts are extremely accommodating!

Home in Suttons Bay
4.85 out of 5 average rating, 123 reviews20 Foot to the Water + hot tub + sauna
Spent the weekend here for my wife's birthday with some friends. Great location for winery tours/local food, and everything you would need inside and out. Roger is a very responsive host and willing to do whatever it takes to make your stay as welcoming as possible. Plenty of room inside the house for sleeping for 3 adult couples, could've even fit a 4th no problem in the loft. Home was spacious and the screened in porch is a great hangout spot overlooking the lake.

Home in Alanson
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 146 reviewsWaterfront Cottage with Covered Boat Slip
This place was perfect for my family and cousins. It had everything we needed, the host was quick and responsive. I would definitely stay here again!

Home in Skanee
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 14 reviewsWaterfront House on Huron Bay (Lake Superior)
We loved staying at Kyle’s place! The host was responsive and provided clear instructions and suggestions. The house was very clean and spacious, and had everything we needed. There was plenty of comfortable seating - loved the porch and outdoor space. The mattress was super comfortable, which is important to my old bones after a day of hiking/exploring! We were only two people, but you could easily accommodate a large family or group and have plenty of room! We loved the remote waterfront location, it was so quiet and peaceful. We explored the Baraga County area (recommend the Lake and County tour), easily made day trips east to the Michigamme area and west to the Keweenaw and to Houghton for a MTU football game. We even got to see the Northern Lights right from the yard! It was a great time and we are already talking about coming back!

We loved our time at Mikes condo in Traverse. It’s a wonderful location and walkable to pretty much everything downtown. The condo was spotlessly clean, that’s a biggie for me, and this was the cleanest Airbnb I’ve ever been in. We loved our time and the great view of the lake, thank you!
