Waterfront vacation rentals in Manistee

Wonderful place to stay off-season. Exactly what we were looking for. Very convenient and effortless check-in check-out.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at Angela’s property. So many beautiful plants and everything was so clean and well maintained outside. A real oasis. The room was very clean and the linens smelled so good. I am a germaphobe and I never felt uncomfortable staying there. It was near so many attractions while also being very private and peaceful —we spent every evening sitting on the beach just taking it all in. Can’t recommend enough!

As always the place is beautiful , clean and well managed. Ben is communicative and friendly as well as the staff that help out. If you’re looking for a place close to the beach with easy access to food, parks and the outdoors this is the place.

The place looked exactly like the pictures. The views and proximity of the lake were excellent. The home was clean and inviting. We can't wait to book again with David.

My partner and I’s stay at Jeffrey and Holly’s suite was outstanding. The space felt incredibly homely, with cozy decor and thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. It was spotless and well-equipped with snacks, coffee, beach amenities, you name it - and we loved using their kayaks for exploring Silver Lake. They were friendly and provided smooth check-in instructions. The price for the area far beats any hotel we could have booked considering how comfortable, clean, and private the unit was. As other reviews said, mechanical noises and footsteps can be heard, but this did not bother us at all. We loved this unit so much, we will probably check the availability for our next trip to TC. This was hands down the best AirBNB we’ve ever stayed at. Highly recommend!

We very much enjoyed our getaway on Stevens Lake. The setting of this house is peaceful, quiet, and perfect for unwinding. We loved listening to the loon on the lake and our son had a great time down by the lake. The house itself was clean and comfortable and more than adequate for our needs. We arrived late at night on a foggy night, but Jane's directions were perfectly clear so we had no trouble locating this out of the way spot. Would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful, peaceful stay at Daphne & Will's gorgeous home. To say they went above and beyond would be an understatement – their space was filled with tasteful decorations, thoughtful touches, and high-quality finishes and furnishings. There was no way we could use every amenity available on a short 3-day stay, but that's all the more reason to come back and enjoy the space again sometime in the future. We particularly enjoyed the fireplace, view of the trees and lake, and comfy sofa – perfect for a relaxing trip. Will and Daphne struck the perfect balance of responsiveness, giving space, and friendliness. Airbnb perfection.

This was a great place to stay while at Traverse City. It was clean, conveniently located, and Troy was very responsive. I really enjoyed my stay.

Great place to stay! Nick communicated well!

What more can I say than a great stay. Rebecca was responsive as needed, the hospitality was warming, the house was beautiful, literally no complaints. For the second time being here, I will definitely be coming back!!

We had a great time at Kelly’s Lake Michigan home. Beautiful view from the back deck great for watching sunsets. We brought our pup and she had a blast lounging by the fire place. Kelly even provided dog waste bags and food and water bowls. Our 2 year old nephew was also excited to find children’s books and toys to play with. One of the best equipped Airbnb kitchens I have experienced in a while allowed us to good up family dinners without having to drive into town to eat. We will definitely stay again next time we are in Silver Lake!

The place was a perfect stay for our day of golf at Arcadia. Hosts were great and responded quickly with anything we need. Including checking on things we potentially left behind. They could not have been more spot on referring us to Grille 44 for drinks and dinner, walkable if you’re up for it. 10/10 would stay here again!

Great place, clean private area with nice scenery

Sean’s place truly feels like a home away from home. It’s thoughtfully designed with unique touches that make it stand out. The amenities are great—from waterfront access to a sauna by the dock, perfect for a refreshing swim-to-sauna experience. The location is also incredible. We loved exploring nearby towns, discovering an organic winery, and relaxing at local breweries that offer stunning views of Lake Michigan. Sean was an exceptional host—welcoming, responsive, and genuinely hospitable. We’re already looking forward to coming back in another season. If you’re considering this stay, don’t hesitate—book it! You won’t regret it.

Alicia was great about responding quickly when we needed something or had questions. The property was beautiful and you can tell there was lots of thought put into the home. The outdoor part of the property was so much fun and gorgeous!

We had a great last minute one night stay. Wish we could have stayed a bit longer. The lake is peaceful and stunning. Kayaking at sunset was the highlight of our overnight stay. We really appreciated the pellet grill. Our dogs loved the yard and hanging on the dock. The cabin was cozy, clean and we felt right at home. Would love to come back in the future for a longer stay! Thanks for sharing your property with us.

The location was amazing, very peaceful for it being right in downtown TC. I would go back for another stay!

Fantastic place to stay! It was exactly how the photos described it and had everything anyone would need for an overnight/week stay. I was extremely happy with this place :) beautiful and quiet beachfront was great.

Beautiful location, perfect getaway.

The condo is so beautiful and the location is perfect for walking to everything downtown. Plus it has the view of the marina and the harbor. So peaceful. We will definitely be back to enjoy more next time as it was our wedding weekend and we were very busy!

Kara was very responsive. The air conditioning was not working but they had someone out and it was fixed the same day. It was not as close to downtown as I would have liked but that was my fault for not completely checking out the location. Fantastic shower. Lots of room and super close to the bike trails. And gorgeous view of the water.

We had a great time and would stay longer next time!

We loved this condo! It was such a beautiful updated condo by the water and the view was amazing! It was so close to downtown and everything. We had a great time here. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful condo, looks just like the listing with amazing unobstructed views of Lake Michigan. Lovely hosts, easy to contact and respond quickly to any requests. Everything was so clean and very well equipped. Can’t wait to book again!
