Wonderful stay. I don't think I have ever been so comfortable (and slept well!) in a rental property. It was perfect for our family and my girls are already asking to go back. Truly steps to the beach and downtown, we have a 4 year old and a two year old and easily took the wagon to the beach and walked downtown. Hope to be back next summer!

A wonderful stay!

We had a great time at The Beachcomber in Frankfort. The full kitchen and dining area were perfect for our group that likes to cook! Really fantastic setup for relaxing in the common areas, and the bedrooms/baths were very nice and comfortable. Loved the short walk to town... be sure to visit Storm Cloud Brewery! Jerry was super to work with, and we will definitely plan to go back.

Jerry was so hospitable and embraced the attitude of "mi casa es su casa" (my home is your home).

Fabulous location, minutes away from beach and downtown. Multiple areas to relax/entertain. Fully-stocked kitchen - such a nice touch with necessities on hand.

Fabulous Home!

The house is lovely & is the most well-stocked of any vacation house I've ever stayed in, & I've stayed in a lot! Modern, clean, lovely decor & enough space that we enjoy each other. We loved the patio & ate dinner out there every night followed by a fire in the firepit.

This was our second year at this property.

We love that the beach is only a short walk down the street. Beautiful sunsets! You can also walk to town to shop, eat, or get ice cream in the evenings. The owners have done a good job at supplying the home with everything you need in the kitchen as well as for the beach. We look forward to many more stays at the "Beachcomber".

This was our third year at the Beachcomber. We love the home and the location. It is one block to the beach and to the shops in downtown Frankfort. Jerry has the home well equipped from kitchen supplies to beach chairs and umbrellas! We feel very fortunate to have found this rental! We have already booked for next year.
