Beautiful property!

My group stayed for 3 nights with 6 adults and 1 toddler. We had plenty of room for all of us! The view from the house is gorgeous, and the beach access is so convenient. The house itself was very clean and well-maintained. We would all stay there again in a heartbeat.

Lake Michigan sunsets

We are a group of older women on our annual gathering. Enjoyed days on the beach and evenings around the campfire. The rocky beach and lake presented a challenge for some, but we managed it with shoes. The house had everything we needed and is a beautiful place to enjoy Michigan's greatest lake. We loved every minute!

Another great week!

This was our second year renting this home and it was another wonderful vacation. The house is always clean and ready to go. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful. The best part, according to my kids is the beach and yard. The screened in porch is also a very popular place to hang. Thanks for a wonderful week!

Michigan Vacation

This property met all of our needs so nicely. The owner Chris, was very pleasant to work with and prompt in answering any questions. The accommodations were very comfortable for the 10 of us. The yard and property is well maintained and perfect for backyard games. This property includes enough amenities for families to play together and relax together. Access to Lake Michigan is very easy! Overall a memorable family time!!

Great getaway spot!

What a gem property! Plenty of space for everyone - the deck and screened porch were especially popular. A huge grassy area with a large beach. Beach was very sandy; rocks in the lake of course but with water shoes, it wasn’t a problem. A very quiet neighborhood, neighbors were friendly. House was stocked with lots of things you may need. Owner was quick to respond to questions I had. All in all - a great space and a great week. Hope to return next year!

Fantastic spot on the lake

Everything was exactly as described in the listing. So very thankful, especially for our Grammy, to have access to a beautiful beach without a bunch of stairs. The yard was perfect for family games of softball, spud, catch, fires and smores. A word of warning about the beach… make sure you bring water shoes! There are lots of rocks in the water—large and small—that make the walk in a little bit painful! The screened in porch was the perfect place to relax at dusk to enjoy the sounds and scenes and family without worrying g about bugs getting you. And the view from the living room every morning was breathtaking. For us it was a dream fulfilled to be right on the lake like that. We already booked our stay for next summer and cannot wait

This is the one!

Our group of high school friends, all woman of a certain age ;), stayed at this home for three nights. Location is convenient to South Haven, Saugatuck, and Holland. Very quiet and private to return to in the evening after exploring. The sunset views were amazing. Private beach was amazing. Fire pit was amazing (wood provided). There is also a tennis court and ping pong table for guests use. House was well stocked and clean. Plenty of kitchen gear if you want to cook. Plenty of bath towels and washcloths provided. We may be making this an annual trip! Thanks for letting us visit your home. Forgot to mention the screened in porch and large deck with wonderful views of the lake! Five stars all around!

Fabulous beach getaway

We brought a group of 11 — 5 adults and 6 teenaged girls — and the house was absolutely fantastic for us. It's big and open enough to hold a large group without ever feeling crowded; we could all have dinner on the back deck together, but if you wanted a quiet spot to read in the morning, you could always find that too (the screened in porch is perfect for that). The bedroom situation is a little awkward with older kids but not a problem. The proximity to the beach is just unbeatable — rather than a set of stairs or a long walk down the sand and rocks, you just stroll down the lovely back lawn and right onto a massive private beach. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Check in/out went smoothly and Chris responded quickly and helpfully to all of my questions. We feel lucky we found this house, and we'd love to come back. Hopefully next year!

Great Location

Location - property location was excellent, close proximity to the beach, can see the sunset from the deck. The beach was a bit rocky, so would recommend bringing water shoes if you plan on swimming. Check-in process - the host was flexible and let us check in early, but was just given a code to the door, and got no directions on how to get there. We went down the wrong road initially per google maps. Upon check-in - there was a one page document with places to eat, and the wifi password, no other details about the property or the area were provided. Communication with property manager was excellent before the stay, quick responses and very flexible. After the stay I reached out 13 days ago, and have not received a response. Cleanliness - to me this seemed like a typical family beach home that is not occupied most of the time (marks on the walls, musty smell in the basement, wires hanging out of the ceiling where lights use to be, holes in the screen in the screened in porch). It is at the end of the rental season, so I am sure that something to do with it. We did encounter a couple mice during the stay, which I am sure is common for for this kind of home, but was a first for me at a rental property. Connectivity - the entire group got spotty cell service at best which would have been good to know this going into it - YMMV. Wifi is provided but coverage throughout the home, including the main tv for streaming, is also spotty at best.
