Our Influencer Retreat with Jess & Emily — Real Moments, Real Impact
When you combine stunning shoreline, serene luxury, and content creators who connect deeply with their audiences, the result is something unforgettable. That’s exactly what happened during our end-of-summer influencer retreat with Jess (@applesauceadhd) and Emily (@fernandfinch).
Their stay wasn’t just another sponsored post — it was a cozy, joy-filled experience that mirrored what so many families, couples, and friends are looking for: time to unwind, bond, and enjoy life’s simple luxuries.
Why We Chose Jess & Emily — Everyday Travelers, Real Experiences
We welcomed Jess, the aggressive tutorial lady, and Emily, her best friend who warms hearts with her handmade comforts, because they reflect the everyday traveler — thoughtful, family-oriented, and drawn to meaningful getaways that balance comfort with connection. Their perspective mirrors the kind of guests who often stay with us: those looking to unwind, recharge, and spend intentional time with loved ones.
Their content captured what matters most — shared moments, cozy spaces, and the kind of easy luxury that helps people feel at home. Through their eyes, potential guests got a true sense of what a stay with Beachwalk Properties can feel like — relaxed, personal, and memorable.
What Made Their Stay Special
From start to finish, the retreat focused on comfort, connection, and laid-back luxury. Here’s what their stay looked like:
-
Year-Round Heated Pool: Even in late summer, the warmth and accessibility of our pool was a standout highlight — relaxing, family-friendly, and incredibly photogenic.
-
Pizza Party Night In: Instead of going out, Jess and Emily chose to stay in — showing just how enjoyable a cozy night can be when the home has everything you need. Games, laughter, and great food made for easy, memorable moments.
-
Lakeside Vibes: Being close to Lake Michigan brought a sense of peace, with sunset views and breezy evenings that perfectly capped off each day.
-
Luxury Features Guests Love: From a spa-like master shower retreat to entertainment-ready game rooms, every corner of the home delivered comfort and style.
Their content highlighted real experiences, not staged moments — and that authenticity resonated.
What Resonated with Their Audience
The engagement spoke for itself — their followers loved:
-
The cozy, live-in feel of the home: real beds made up, comfy lounging, real meals being shared.
-
Visuals that inspired calm: slow mornings by the pool, the warm glow of sunset through the windows, peaceful bedrooms.
-
Family-friendly design: The game room, open layout, and mix of indoor/outdoor fun were a hit.
This wasn’t a wild getaway — it was a relatable one. Their audience saw exactly what they craved: a vacation that doesn’t require stress, planning chaos, or over-scheduling. Just comfort, connection, and a luxury backdrop.
