vacation rental description
Very private, comfortable, large second home, totally renovated
in 2006/2007 approximately 2200 square feet. This is the newest and
nicest available rental on the island. Nothing else has the
frontage,
the lot size, the amenities, the parking, or the dockage.
Renovations included:
New design including addition of full ceiling height sleeping lofts
with conventional staircase access;
New old fashioned front porch with swing;
City water;
New plumbing, fixtures, water heater, septic field and tank;
New windows;
New moldings, interior doors, exterior doors, Anderson doorwall;
New kitchen, gas fireplace-
Two new full ceramic/granite bathrooms;
New siding and exterior roughsawn trim;
Privacy. No busy street between you and the water, no noisy bar
next door, not musty-this bright, airy, roomy, clean and luxurious
setting is exactly what you are looking for. Well over $400,000.00
has been invested to provide you all the top drawer features of a
high end vacation home.
Situated on nearly two acres, you can enjoy the water view and sunsets
from the air conditioned comfort of the house, from the deck, or
from the platform at the end of the dock.
Why have a $3000.00 plus monthly second home mortgage payment when
you can just pick and choose the time you need, and pay for only
that time...

Harsen's Island has no motels or hotels, and very few vacation
rentals, so do not expect a strip of tourist attractions, as the
population is about one third residents, and two thirds seasonal
residents. Do expect a friendly small town attitude, and a safe,
clean, and friendly environment to spend some time with your friends
and family-its plenty close enough to entertain day visitors, and
this
place is large enough to accommodate plenty of overnight guests.
There are three markets and a couple of bar/restaurants on the
island.
It is, for the most part, pretty quiet.
When you wake up in the morning and realize that you have full
control
of your very own spacious, modern, clean, and private vacation home,
you will likely pinch yourself to make sure you are not dreaming.
Grab a cup of coffee and take a walk down your dock, greeted by the
swans, ducks, and egrets likewise enjoying the calm clear blue waters
of the North Channel of the St. Clair River. Have a seat at the
patio
on the end of the dock, or lie in the in the hammock while you map
out your day.
Join the family for a quick breakfast on the patio, or in the air
conditioned comfort of the summer residence. Take a ride to one of
the markets for a morning paper.
Later, dive into the clear blue waters at the end of the dock for a
refreshing swim. Marvel at the water quality, the sandy bottom,
consider some snorkeling with the kids. Bring a boat? Take a ride
and get lunch at one of the waterfront restaurants. Do some tubing
in
one of the sheltered bays in the Flats.
Grab the fishing poles-pike and panfish off the dock, then use the
fishing boat to take a trip out to the Channel and bounce the bottom
for walleye.
Take a bike ride with the kids to the park, play some tennis, let
them
on the swingsets for a bit, maybe take a ride into town, enjoy some
of
the little shops, check out a book from the library if you cannot
find
anything you like at the house.
Think about dinner-go out or grille something quick?
Later, its roasting marshmallows and having a few cold ones around
the
campfire.
Tomorrow, do it all over again.
Bring: Fishing poles, landing net-pike and panfish off the dock- flip flops sunblock beach towel swim toys marshmallows and sticks hamburgers and buns sunglasses mosquito repellent flashlights bicycles golf clubs mask and flippers beach toys jar for frog turtle and dragonfly camera walking shoes dress clothes for dinner out play clothes not too many we have laundry facilities.
