Overview
This is a beach-themed vacation home in Waterford, Michigan (listed under Auburn Hills), designed as a relaxed, coastal-inspired retreat rather than a traditional hotel. Light, airy decor with soothing colors and seashell accents runs throughout the house, giving it a laid-back getaway feel regardless of the season. It's built for guests traveling with pets, with a fully fenced yard and pet supplies included.
Rooms & Sleeping Arrangements
The home has 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, sleeping a mix of families or small groups. The master bedroom has a queen bed, the second bedroom has a twin bed, and the third bedroom is furnished with a queen and a twin air mattress; the living room couch also pulls out into a full-size bed. Both bathrooms come stocked with fresh towels and toiletries.
Amenities & Outdoor Space
The property offers a fully equipped kitchen with a stocked coffee bar, microwave, oven/stove, in-unit washer and dryer, free Wi-Fi, cable TV, air conditioning and heating, and free parking. Outside, guests get a private, fully fenced patio and backyard ideal for grilling, lounging, or letting pets run safely off-leash, with bowls, treats, and pet bedding provided.
Location & Nearby Surroundings
Set in a quiet Waterford, MI neighborhood, the home is close to Pontiac Lake State Recreation Area, Waterford Airport, and numerous parks and sidewalks for walking, biking, or dog walks. Waterford Coney is about a 10-minute walk for casual dining, and Great Lakes Crossing Outlets offers nearby shopping, dining, and entertainment. Pine Knob, a venue for concerts, comedy shows, and events, is roughly a 13-minute drive away.
Best for
This home suits pet-owning travelers, families, and small groups seeking a self-catered, relaxed base rather than a standard hotel room, thanks to its fully fenced yard, pet supplies, and multiple sleeping configurations. It also appeals to concertgoers and event attendees, given its roughly 13-minute drive to Pine Knob, and to those wanting easy access to Pontiac Lake State Recreation Area, local parks, and Great Lakes Crossing Outlets for shopping.
Travel tips
Having a car is recommended, since Pine Knob (13 minutes), Great Lakes Crossing Outlets, and Pontiac Lake State Recreation Area are all a short drive rather than walking distance. Waterford Coney is about a 10-minute walk away, making it a convenient option for a meal without needing to drive. Guests planning to use the third bedroom should note it's furnished with air mattresses rather than standard beds, so pack accordingly if you need a firmer sleeping surface.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the home's convenient location, noting it was extremely close to the places they wanted to visit in the area. One reviewer flagged a minor discrepancy between expectations and reality: the listing counts as a 3-bedroom home, but the third bedroom is furnished with an air mattress rather than a permanent bed, which caught them off guard on arrival. Despite that clarification, the same reviewer described the mix-up as their own oversight rather than a fault of the host, and the overall rating of 4.8 from 28 reviews suggests guests remain highly satisfied overall.
