Juniper Presents: Sunny Dunes Retreat w/ Pool, Hot Tub & Golf Carts
Steps from Lake MI, Sunny Dunes Retreat has a private pool, elevated hot tub + layered outdoor spaces designed for high-end coastal living. Two golf carts make it easy to head to the village to Golf at the historic 9-hole public course. If Golf isn’t your thing, take the cart for tennis or a park visit, then finish at the clubhouse with ice cream. With a multi-level layout and room for a crowd, this home delivers an experience that feels spacious, effortless and entirely your own.
THE SPACE Inside, light pours through tall windows and vaulted ceilings, setting an open, easygoing tone that carries through every level of the home. The great room is built for gathering, with plush seating, warm wood tones, and a fireplace that draws the room together without feeling formal. A separate sitting room offers wraparound views and a quieter pace—ideal for reading, drinks, or catching up with a friend while the rest of the house is still in motion. Downstairs, a media lounge sets the stage for movie nights, while the game nook nearby keeps things light and spontaneous. Every space feels considered, but nothing about it is stiff.
Each bedroom is styled with intention, pairing soft textures with coastal finishes that feel both current and timeless. The layout offers privacy across three levels, ideal for groups who want to stay close without crowding. Lower-level suites and a cheerful bunk room add flexibility without sacrificing atmosphere, and every bed is made up with crisp linens and layered comfort, ready when you finally call it a night.

Bathrooms and Laundry Five full bathrooms and a well-placed half bath allow the home to function beautifully, even at full capacity. En suite spaces offer soaking tubs, walk-in showers, and vanities with room to unpack and unwind. Downstairs baths serve the additional sleeping areas with equal attention to detail. A spacious laundry room makes midweek resets simple, with plenty of counter space, a utility sink, and modern machines that keep everything moving behind the scenes.
Out back, the deck unfolds in layers—dining under the pergola, loungers by the pool, quiet conversations near the trees. A fire pit on the porch creates a cozy, all-season gathering spot, perfect for roasting s’mores, late-night talks, or warming up after a dip. An elevated hot tub offers a view just above the treetops, while the pool below stays active from morning swims to golden-hour floats. When the grill is fired up and the music’s low, the whole space hums. Two golf carts make the lake and nearby shops a quick ride away, but most days, everything you need is already right here.
Located in the charming and exclusive community of Grand Beach, Sunny Dunes Retreat places you at the heart of Michigan’s most coveted lakeshore escape. Just a short stroll or golf cart ride away, you’ll find the sugar-sand beaches of Lake Michigan—perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, or simply soaking up the sun. Tee off at the Grand Beach Golf Course, or explore scenic biking trails and nearby tennis and basketball courts. Venture into nearby New Buffalo for wine tasting at local vineyards, boutique shopping, and acclaimed dining at spots like The Stray Dog or Brewster’s. Families will love a day trip to Washington Park Zoo or the arcade and ice cream parlors in downtown New Buffalo. Whether you're planning beach days, outdoor adventures, or cozy evenings with wine and games, this destination offers the ideal blend of luxury, nature, and local charm.
