Holland is known for its annual Tulip Festival, a celebration of the blooming of the flower each May, but it is so much more! This home, although tucked off the main thoroughfare for privacy, is just a short jaunt from all the Holland & Grand Haven downtown attractions, festivities, shops, grocery stores, restaurants and marinas.
The view upon pulling into the driveway of this luxury lakefront home will mesmerize you. Traveling with children? They may want to stop and play a game of basketball on the half-court set up on the driveway.
Upon arrival, you will be lulled into the beach town life. Drop your bags and head to the path of your own, private 90x20 beach. The beach is easily accessible with private stairs and a beautiful deck overlooking Lake Michigan. Tunnel Park Winds Nest Beach, Holland State Park Beach or Grand Haven City Beach are additional, nearby beach options. Beach chairs, towels, wagon, toys and a cooler is provided.
This open floor plan has been thoughtfully designed & updated with a brand new seawall, beach stairs, deck, hardwood flooring, staircase, furniture, mattresses, fire-pit, & hillside swing-set overlooking Lake Michigan.
ZZZ's by the C is ideally situated 1/2 way between downtown Holland & Grand Haven along the Lake Michigan shoreline.
Ready to explore the water? First, head down the beach stairs to your own pristine Lake Michigan Beach. Looking to venture out? Check out the Big Red Lighthouse in nearby Lake Macatawa (an all-sports lake) where you can rent or launch your own boat, jet ski or kayak at one of the local marinas.

Great Pre Holiday Get Away
The home accommodations were well suited for all of us 7 adults 2 kids. The great room was were we all spent the majority of our time while gathering. The property management team was very helpful with a minor mishap when we arrived to the property. The view of Lake Michigan was the star of the show. Quiet neighborhood and away from the city but still close enough to stores if needed. Thank you ZZZ @ the C

Beautiful House/Great Property - Big Enough for Whole Family
Our family had a great time at this property in beautiful Holland, MI. The house has everything we needed and more - an incredible house with amazing views and wonderful amenities. We ended up spending far more time than anticipated at the house, including almost every meal - because we enjoyed it so much. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Holland, MI.

Meyer Family 2024 Summer Vacation
We had a GREAT time at Zzz's by the C! The property manager was extremely responsive for the two minor issues we had...needed a garden hose to rinse off sand (they brought us a new one right away!) and the propane grill did not function (and was replaced with brand new grill the following morning!). Roomy home with plenty of space for 12 -- 8 adults and 4 children. Very much enjoyed the private beach, swing chairs, fire pit, and porch -- awesome outdoor space! There was an ample supply of beach chairs, sand toys, and beach towels. The kitchen was well-stocked, even if cabinet storage was slightly disorganized. The only negative was that there was not a separate pantry or dedicated cabinet for food storage, so we used counter space for our food dry goods.
Home was stocked with lots of paper towels, TP, etc. (in our VRBO experiences this is not always the case).
Bedrooms all had high quality bedding and linens. Fun family room area with lots of seating options and a dining room table that accomodated our entire group of 12.
We would definitely stay here again. Fantastic location; private beach; spacious home; downtown Holland shops; good restaurant options; etc. Short drives to other nearby towns as well, when we wanted to explore. 5/5 star rating!

We had a great weekend at the house! The house was so beautiful and well stocked with linens, kitchen items and paper products. The beach and fire pit were lovely! Only downside for us was the amount of trash left behind in the driveway from the guests before and the floors were not clean when we arrived.

The Amazing View
We loved the view of Lake Michigan especially the sunsets. The home was well equipped with everything we needed. It was a spacious home with so many bedrooms, bathrooms and sitting areas. The swings, fire pit and porch seating were fantastic! And it was really nice to have a private beach.
We were expecting a few more beds in the west second floor bedroom. The door to the east second floor bedroom stuck and could not be opened by the individuals inside the bedroom. On the first night they had to yell for assistance from other family members to open the door from the hall. Also, we were a little afraid the front door may have been difficult to open if we had to leave in a hurry and were unable to quickly unlock it with the key or if we had misplaced the key. A mug had powder stuck to the inside of it. A dish and bowl had food stuck to them. We didn't have hot water in the basement bedroom shower,
We had a fantastic time, but if these little things would have addressed, the experience would have been absolutely perfect! Thanks for the unforgettable time! We loved being together as a family in such a beautiful home that was close to all the Tulip Festival events.

Unbelieveable views and Beautiful Home, but some areas for improvement
This house is all about the views of the lake! Simply stunning vistas off the bluff and the outdoor firepit and porches are amazing. That alone makes this place spectacular. The house had been recently renovated and is comfortable and well-stocked. Its about 20 minutes north of Holland, Michigan. So just enough time to feel "away from it all" but not be too far removed.
There were a few uneven aspects to the stay, though. Before detailing those, I'll say that the hosts were extremely responsive to each inquiry and did all they could to make our stay pleasant. We'd certainly return.
That said, there are a few areas that can be addressed to make it a 5 star property.
1. The checkin process described did not work. They gave us a code to use on a keypad, but this did not work. After a phone call and some efforts, physical keys were provided that we used.
2. The upstairs fireplace was not operational. Given some cold evenings, this would have been very nice to have.
3. The hot water heater couldn't keep up. One morning, we had 1 person through the shower and then 2 more were going into the bath and shower simultaneously and the hot water ran out. It rejuvenated after about 30 minutes, but for a big house, it would be ideal to have enough capacity for everyone to shower.
4. The front door could only be opened with a key -- even from the inside! This is dangerous in the case of an emergency.
5. There was a musty smell.
6. Blinds on east-facing windows would be nice

A couple hiccups but it didn't ruin the visit.
While I felt the issues shouldn't have happened given the high end rental I chose, the property manager was responsive and that makes a great difference.

Fabulous location
We rented this home to celebrate a virtual family wedding from 2 years ago. The home itself was beautiful, spacious and well-equipped, but the view of Lake Michigan was spectacular! We were hoping for warmer weather to walk the beach. Although we didn't get that, we did get to see some beautiful wave action on the lake. There was plenty of parking space for several cars. The property is also very private. We had mostly adults with us, so we had to do some juggling with sleeping arrangements as there were 5 bedrooms, but more family units. Other than that we were very happy with the accommodations. Be aware that some of the beds have wheels on them - nice for adjusting the room, but you could be surprised if you are not careful when you sit on the edge! There were many extra supplies such as towels, blankets and kitchen wares, so you won't need to bring much for a shorter stay. I hope we get a chance to stay at Zzz's by the C again!
