Maria,
We enjoyed our second "annual" vacation at your condo. We had a great time again, and were so glad to have had such a perfect place to stay with our 4 yr old and 7 month old. The weather was beautiful. We had fun in town, did trips to the island, water park, movie theater, Cheboygan, Charlevoix, and Petoskey. Jack was so disappointed the Popcorn Factory was closed all week due to fire in town. On the last evening it was open! At that point he declared it the best vacation ever. It was. The fireworks from the beach were great. The condo management does a great job. Thanks for everything!

Labor Day Weekend 2007, 50th year of the Bridge Walk!!!!

Dear Maria,

Lovely location. Upon our arrival we quickly unpacked with pleasure in our choice. We then walked out to the pool area and became instant friends with some of the neighbors, whom have us nearly convinced to buy here. We shall see. We are happy to have found you through V.R.B.O.
Enjoyable Visit!!

What a beautiful place! The accomodations could not have been more perfect for our family. Our 3 1/2 year old was telling both family and new acquaintences that "we moved!" We wish! We had all of the conveniences of home and then more. We loved playing in the sand daily, swimming in the pool, grilling, enjoying the views, and going on our daily adventures in the areas surrounding. Very relaxing, and our best vacation ever. We are sad to leave and hope to return!

We visited here last year when friends stayed at the Shores-we decided to stay this year. Maria, we so enjoy your condo. Thanks so much for opening your condo to us. The view is spectacular and we love the pool and beach. On this trip north we saw four of the five Great Lakes-Erie, Huron,Michigan and Superior! The favorite restaurant this trip was Fisk-the Tempura was excellent. We also enjoyed the Red Flannel in the UP. Great condo, great trip, sad to be going home :-(

Our 2nd stay at the Shores. Everything was as expected. We enjoy the quiet and privacy. We were both able to bike the 8.2 miles around the Island, which was our goal. The hiking, biking trail across ST Rd 23 was great exercise. Entry on Stimpson Rd about 200 yards North of Condo. Easy ride to town.

Beautiful condo, it was a great location for the activities we planned. We spent a couple of days on Mackinac Island, golfed at the Mackinac Club, watched a great fireworks display on the 4th from the park in the city, toured the Shipwreck Museum in the UP and found some great beaches on both lakes Michigan and Superior. The restaraunts in town and on the island were both good and accomodating for our 3 year old son. The weather was great, daytime highs were in the upper 6o's and low 70's, this was a treat coming from the humid 90's found in the Ohio Valley! We will come back, Thanks again!

We were told the weather would be in the mid 70's and it was in the mid 80's all week. No rain and was perfect for swimming in the great pool. This was a relaxing way to spend 4 days-wish we had longer! The condo is beautiful and at this time of year there was only a few people here. It was like having the pool and place to ourselves. If we ever come back-and I hope we will-this will be where we want to stay. Thank you for a relaxing and beautiful vacation!

The bed was so comfortable!!

Dear Maria,
It was an absolutely perfect Indian Summer weekend! We enjoyed the condo, the area and them time away. In just two short days of diversion, work seems a lifetime away.
Thank you again for the rejuvenation and renewed positive attitude. You are a special person....and I mean special in a good way!

What a lovely condo & beautiful site. Too bad the weather didn't cooperate. We decided not to go to Mackinaw Island, due to the weather. We want to be able to really appreciate the experience-not in the rain. But all was peaceful and calm here. Nice!
Thank you so much. Sincerely,

What a beautiful retreat. We came to relax and get away from our hectic life for a few days, and as we discovered-this is the perfect place to be.
We didn't want for anything-your home is comfortable and well equipped. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Hi Maria,
Thanks again so much for providing such a wonderful place to stay during my vacation. My friend Barb & her family were here for the Bridge Walk with me but then her husband & kids had to be back to school & work. Barb and I had a great time on our own. This is such a wonderful place, would be a great place to retire. It's Saturday, Sept 10, 2005 and I'm the last to leave.
Love & prayers,

Maria,
This was a fantastic weekend get away. The condo offers a tranquil setting with a feeling of casual and comfortable elegance. You've thought of everything! We didn't need to bring anything, except a bottle of wine to watch the sunset over the lake, to make this one of our most enjoyable stays ever.
Thanks again,
p.s.
We'll recommend your place to anyone we know who is travelling up North!

What a terrific place! Don't think we'll ever stay in a hotel again. Such a beautiful complex at the Shores. It was great to come home to the Shores after long days of sight seeing-just like going back to our own house. Thanks again! Don't be surprised to hear from us or our friends in the future.

This was a wonderful relaxing special vacation to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. The condo is beautiful & everything we could possibly need was here. We visit Mackinaw at least once or twice a year and will certainly return here.
Thank you for a memorable week!

All the little extra's stocked for us on arrival, ex:-welcome basket, kleenex, shampoo & laundry soap were great-thank you!

We had a wonderful week! The weather was great. We took a few day trips and spent one day on the Island. Your condo was like "coming home" each evening. Very comfortable and clean and the decor was to our liking! We would recommend your condo to anyone who wants a quiet comfortable place to stay.

Dear Maria,

Wow! This is the only word I can think of to describe your beautiful condo. I've been visiting Northern Michigan for 30 years now and your home, by far, was the nicest accomodations I've had. I don't ever want to stay at another hotel again. So clean and comfortable and what a view! Just amazing. We cannot wait to return again. We would love to keep your place as our own 'little secret' but everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy it so we will recommend it to all of our friends and family. Thank you so much again!

Dear Maria,
This has been absolutely the best vacation I have ever had. Your condo is just the best, a true home away from home. This was my first time doing the Mackinac Bridge Walk. It was great fun. And as always the shopping and the food in Mackinaw can't be beat. I love the whole complex, expecially the pool with that great view of the Bridge. Thank you again for making your condo available to me. You have truly won my heart, and I can hardly wait for next years visit.

Love & prayers,

Gwen

We loved it here and finally relaxed on our vacation. The comfortable bed & mattress was an enormous relief. I also enjoyed the art work selections. Your unit seems special. We will ask for it when we return. Napping on lounges by the pool, listening to Lake Huron's lapping waves was extremely theraputic! Thank you!

Dear Maria,

Thank you so much for sharing your condo! It is beautiful, and feels like a home away from home. Our boys-2 1/2 yrs and 10 mos-really enjoyed having a place to crawl around and kick back like they do at home, and we really enjoyed having a well equipped kitchen to cook in!
The area is lovely and we can't wait to come back!

The fact that as I sit here & write and I'm in a depreseed funk, lays testiment to the fact that we/I had A BLAST! We are honored to have been your first "official" guests.

We have stayed twice, once with our 2 children and another time for just a perfect adult weekend getaway. Loved the view from the living room of the Bridge and Mackinac Island. Beautiful accommodations. Would definately stay again.
