Mitten Flats #3 - 1 Block to the beach! Hot Tub! Hot Tub!

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and cozy space! This flat is just a short distance from all the downtown shops and restaurants and an even shorter distance from the beach. Great for a weekend getaway for couples or the whole family."

Vintage Cottage 2 Blocks from Ludington Beach

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great find for our family of four! The cottage was small, but it had everything we needed, and the location was incredible—just a few blocks from the beach. We had our 5-year-old and 11-month-old with us, and the space was very manageable for our family.Having a broom and dustpan available would have been a big help with the little ones, and some of the dishes needed a quick wash from the previous guests. Overall, those were minor issues for us during our stay. We really loved the proximity to the beach and the charm of this sleepy little town. It was a wonderful spot for a family getaway, and we’d happily stay here again!"
