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.

We had a fantastic stay! The house is both spacious and cozy, making it the perfect home base. The location is unbeatable—we loved being within walking distance to the beach, local parks, and a great mix of restaurants and breweries. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook at home; we literally just had to bring our own food. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a stress-free getaway!

Great property close to downtown and beach

Overall we were so happy with our stay! Really cute and spacious house, perfect location in between beach and town. All the amenities were great, kitchen was well stocked with cookware and bathroom was well stocked as well. Only downside was that one of the bedrooms was listed as having a queen and a twin when we booked, which we were counting on fully using - the bedroom was just two twins. I did see the listing was updated, but that meant one of our guests had to sleep on the couch. That aside, this is a great spot!

Very pleasant stay

This property is exceptionally clean and provides many amenities like toiletries, kitchen spices, foil, plastic wrap, ample dishes, flatware, pots and pans, and Keurig coffee. Ample space in the house to have meals, spread out, and relax. Grounds are well groomed, and the house retains its 1908 character along side a well-done remodel. Really enjoyed the short walk to the beach.Property manager is excellent -- very responsive and genuinely interested in making sure one's stay goes very well.

Well appointed home and about a block to the public beach! Comfy bed and plenty of seating in the living room for watching tv at night. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and the quality of the pots, pans, utensils are good. Our pup loved the front porch - the fenced yard is nice too.

We also really appreciated the blackout blinds in the bedrooms. The public beach, restaurants and shops are within quick walking distance. The hosts were responsive and easy to communicate with.

Great rental

The rental was great for what we needed for an last minute trip to Frankfort. Our contact for the rental was quick to return text messages and checked in with us before we got there. Positives: Location was very close to both downtown and the beach. Very clean and had all the necessary kitchen needs plus towels, linens, etc. We had 6 adults, 1 kid and 2 toddlers plus a dog and had plenty of space. The fenced in backyard was nice to have. Kids loved the oversized bean bag in the living room. There were also gates available to block off the stairs for the little ones. Negatives: There was nothing major, just a few minor things. It did smell a little bit like the first floor had been smoked in, perhaps before the renovation but it dissipated very quickly. Around both the showers needs some resealing and paint. The stairs are pretty steep but not completely unexpected in a home of this age. One thing that does need to be changed on the listing is that it no longer has a two twin bedroom. It didn’t mess up our sleeping arrangements but it would have been nice to know. Overall, I would recommend The Sundowner for those looking for a conveniently located and well kept rental in Frankfort.
