Serenity in Port Sanilac

I must start the review by saying how absolutely amazing Alix was to deal with. We e-mailed back and forth frequently (as I had a lot of questions!), with responses coming within a day. Our group was from Canada, and even the money transactions were simple (I even received the refundable deposit back a week later, with no hassles).
The home was exactly as the pictures and descriptions on the site showed and discussed, but there was sooooo much more to the house than shown on the site. Truly something you need to see for yourself when you get there (and Alix, you could add so many more great pictures - ask me if you need some, as I think our group took around 200 shots!!)
I planned this weekend for a group of 14 girls (my best friend's stagette as a matter of fact), and none of them could get over this place. I think some of them are planning on getting a group together in the future and heading back!
When we arrived, Alix had asked that the people who clean the house pop over quickly to make sure that we got into the house ok, which was such a generous thing to do, and we were also given contact information for 3 different people, just in case. We were apparently only the second renters to use the house!
As a side note, we went to Uri's Waterfront Dining and Spirits on the Saturday night for dinner. I had contacted Shelly there to book reservations, and told her about our group, and they also went above and beyond to make our experience there special. They printed special menus for us, that incorporated the bride-to-be's name and town, they decorated the room for us (I dropped decorations off earlier in the day), and they even went so far as to offer us all a free shot at the end of the meal. The food was FANTASTIC and the chef personally came out 3 times while we were there to check on us and see how the food was.
The restaurant was literally a 2 minute walk across the harbour park, so it could not have been more convenient.
As you can see, I don't have enough good things to say about this place, and would recommend it to anyone.
Thanks Alix, for making our first "homeaway.com" experience a great one!
