Property was exactly as advertised. Home was comfortable - screened-in porch was a favorite. Everything worked - Wi-fi, appliances etc etc without any issues; beach only 5-minutes walk away and perfect for walkers, swimmers and anyone with young children. Great sunsets. Hated leaving ….! Will always go first to WAYA when looking for a get away in SW Michigan. Wish I was still there!!!!!

We enjoyed our time at Meant to Beach. It was clean, quiet, lots of different places to hang out and talk, 5 minute walk to a great beach, easy drive to great restaurants and the grocery store in New Buffalo and great communication with WAYA rentals. We hope to stay there again!

We loved MEANT TO BEACH! Perfect private setting, a close walk to the beach. The screened-in porch was a PERFECT setting for reading, morning coffee, or family game night. We would love to come back to this place again, as our family all gave it a HUGE TWO THUMBS up!

The house is located in a perfect spot. A lot of privacy, yet close to the beach. The house is roomy and has many places to relax both inside and out (large screen porch). The kitchen is in need of some updating, but it worked for us!

This home was perfect for our family with its many seating areas, comfortable bedrooms, beautiful yard, and screened-in porch. It was nicely furnished and decorated and very clean. It was located in a beautiful neighborhood, with a short, lovely walk to the beach. Management was very helpful and welcoming! We had a wonderful vacation and a great experience with this team!

This trip exceeded our expectations! House is lovely, exactly like it looks in the photos. We enjoyed making s'mores in the firepit and lounging in the hammocks. The private beach was a short walk away and it was beautiful! White sandy beaches, very clean, not crowded. We were there every evening to watch the amazing sunset. We will definitely return!

Everything was great

Everything was Great. Easy walk to the beach. Great yard for the kids to play in. Very nice house with lots of natural light and many places to sit. We have no complaints about this rental. Whenever I had a question, the person I emailed was quick to answer. We would LOVE to stay here again in the future.

We loved the large yard and fire pit. The house was great for our needs. The walk to the beach is short (we were worried it would be longer than advertised, but it was great!). The house was well stocked for our needs other than the hand soaps were pretty much empty, which in the time of Covid-19 seems key. But the location, the home, and the overall experience was excellent!

Wonderful home, yard, location!
