Your private beach. The week sells fast so book your Lake Michigan get away now!

The breathtaking and beautiful beach landscape greets you as you enter this cottage. An amazing place to stay and relax with family and friends. This cozy cottage with 1,274 sq ft offers a view of the lake from every corner of the house. Sliding door access to a spacious yard for fun yard games. Access to paddle board/kayak/skim boards/lake Noodles/other Beach toys. Strong WiFi that allows you to connect and have service in any room to even outside on the two decks. Not all cellphone works, so this strong WiFi really comes in handy if you, your family and friends still want to connect, but if you would like to escape from those phones feel free to turn that WiFi off. There is a landline phone in the house that comes in handy for your use too. Fire pit on the beach to enjoy and have s’mores. Great trees for hammocks to enjoy that beautiful breeze the lake has to offer. Speaking of wind, if you're into action water sports this is the place to be. Right next to the pier and channel which creates the best waves for surfing/kite boarding. With the protection from the pier also creates less of a current during strong south winds leading to a safer swimming area if there were to be high waves and high winds. Roomy kitchen/dining area to be able to cook meals and enjoy them. Great air conditioning, fans and a solid amount of windows to always enjoy that cool breeze. There is a nature trail, 3 parks and a boat launch within 1.5 miles. This cottage is snugged right in the middle of two of the most popular Michigan beach towns, Holland and Grand Haven. 3 miles away from one of the best restaurants, Sandy Point Beach House. All in all this place is one of the best places you can stay to enjoy Lake Michigan and the beauty of Pure Michigan. An unforgettable place where you can share great memories with family and friends.

Great Lake Michigan Vacation

Cottage was as advertised! The home is well stocked and located an easy drive to both Grand Haven and Holland. We really enjoyed the private beach. It was very accessible with plenty of space to spread out. The host was very responsive and easy to work with. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

We enjoyed a wonderful week in Michigan. The house was pretty, clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The property was beautiful with easy access to the beach. There are 42 steps down to the beach that might be difficult for some. We had great fun using the paddle boards and the water lily. We heartily recommend this property and hope to return ourselves. Very special place.

Absolutely stunning sunsets and amazing accommodations. Truly the equivalent of a 5 star hotel. The location to both Grand Haven and Holland perfect if you want to dine out.

Paradise in West Michigan

If you are looking for a place to truly "get away", this is it. Located on a dead-end street with your own personal beach and sunset, it's perfect for reading a good book on the deck or long walks on the beach or any water activities you enjoy. This is truly a gem for the vacation we all need right now from this crazy world.

Absolutely perfect

The house is kept immaculately, and the sports amenities (kayaks, paddleboards, life jackets, etc.) are many. Nearly every window looks out at the lake, and the private beach is just that. We had a wonderful time, and our hosts were first-rate. We'd love to return someday. (Meanwhile, we have a couple hundred pictures to sort through.) Our stay was great in every respect.

Lakefront Bliss

My husband and I do a lot of travel and VRBO home stays with our 4 young children and this beautiful, cozy lake front house will now forever be one of our favorites. The view is indescribable, the home is clean, well maintained and so thoughtfully outfitted with everything a family could need. We spent so much time on the water using the kayak, paddleboards and the large float pad that the kids could play to their hearts content on (us adults too!). Cynthia and Jerry are so kind and welcoming- we truly did not want to leave.

Nice little get-a-way

This property was exactly as pictured; the house was comfortable and very accommodating. The beach and view was beautiful and not too many steps either. It is wonderfully located, not much traffic and a 15 minute drive to either Grand Haven or Holland. The owners were pleasant and easily accessible, although we didn't have to reach out to them during our stay because we had no issues. It was a wonderful week!

If you’re looking for serenity, book this property. The Lake Michigan view, sunsets, and tranquil beach access are what we were looking for and we were not disappointed. Cynthia went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable and we are already planning a return visit. Pay close attention to what is included in the supplies and amenities - you won’t want for anything. Thank you for sharing this hidden gem.
