The Sundowner - Gorgeous Victorian Home Just 1 Block from Beach and Downtown!

Welcome to our charming Victorian beach house, steps from the beach and Main Street in downtown Frankfort! The house comfortably sleeps 9, with 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. New furniture, fresh paint, beautiful landscaping, new bathrooms and lots of nice finishing touches makes it super cheerful and comfortable. With a private back patio, you can relax quietly, bbq, and hang out with friends & family. If you want a bit more action, you can sit on the lovely front porch and people watch.​


NEIGHBORHOOD:

The property is right in the heart of downtown Frankfort! It is just 1 block from Main Street and 2 blocks from the beach. Frankfort has a lovely family and dog-friendly public beach on Lake Michigan and the downtown area has a growing array of shops, restaurants, cafes, a microbrewery (Stormcloud), and a movie theatre (The Garden Theater). There is also a pier that goes out into Lake Michigan and a rather famous lighthouse at the end of the pier. All of this is just a short walk from the house!


THE SPACE:

One of the best features of the house is its location. You are literally a block from Frankfort's amazing public beach, and steps from all the shops, restaurants and activities on Main Street. We have high speed wi-fi, a smart TV, and 2 desks with office chairs in case you need to work remotely. We supply all linens, outdoor grill and even our beach cart, so all you need to do is show up and relax. Also, although the house does not have central air conditioning, there are window air conditioning units in all of the bedrooms.


TRANSIT:

It is suggested that guests have their own vehicle, but since the property is downtown you can just walk around and enjoy yourself without a vehicle.
