With almost 350 feet of beautiful sandy beach frontage and dunes on a south-facing 7-mile continuous golden sand beach, you get unlimited sunshine, privacy, beauty and unending sand. Large picture windows offer expansive views of the water and sand dunes. A house-width lakeside deck with a propane grill and covered patio lets you enjoy Lake Michigan like never before. A 150 feet boardwalk takes you over the dunes to another small deck on top of the dune which leads right to the beach. An outdoor fire pit is located atop the dune, facing the lake, providing a perfect setting for a beautiful evening.

Great views and quiet private resort

The lake pictures don’t do it justice. So quiet. Almost 180° view of Lake Michigan. The Sandy Beach and the surf were identical to Florida seashore except it was clean water with no sharks. Highly recommend and the house was stocked with anything you could possibly need. Stayed for 5 days at the end of July.

The perfect spot for our Lake Michigan adventure!

This was the perfect spot for our family gathering! The house was SPOTLESS and clean. The house was well equipped with everything we needed and more! The beds were so comfy and there was room to spare! We loved the two living areas (one on each floor) with large TVs for movie night! The kitchen had everything we needed to make our meals on site! The gas grill in the deck was clean and very nice. The walkway to the beach was a great addition! Beach was easy to access. A nice seating area on top of the dune as well as a nice fire pit area down by the beach. Our family used it all! This was the perfect spot for us. Lots of things to do nearby, but no need to leave the property! There was so much to enjoy. We will stay again! Our teenagers said it was the perfect lake home and want to go back! Thanks!
