Welcome to Lakeshore Hideaway, your peaceful beach retreat just steps from McKinley Beach, one of Union Pier’s most beloved Lake Michigan beaches.

Start your mornings with a walk along the shore, enjoy a day at the beach and rinse off in the outdoor shower when you return. Then spend your evening grilling out on the private patio with a gas grill and gather around the fire pit for s’mores and stargazing.

Summary: Location was nice enough, but house was not the most well stocked compared to most short-teem rentals we’ve stayed at. If it’s a rainy day, be aware, TV doesn’t really work or connect to devices at all. They also send you a separate rental agreement outside of VRBO that you have to sign. They emailed us every day asking us to sign starting several weeks in advance. We continued to receive email requests even after we signed (about 2 weeks before we arrived). Even after we forwarded them the receipt of signature and our signed copy, we continued to get email requests and it continued daily, up until several days after we checked out. Finally, this is a personal pet peeve, the cleaning fee for our 3-day stay was over 200. Despite the hefty fee, they still including a long list of chores to be completed before checkout, including a checklist that needed to be signed, under threat of an additional heft fee.
