This house was perfect. The living room had room for everyone to relax. The kitchen was extremely well equipped. (It even had flower vases, a turkey platter for our Thanksgiving dinner, and cookie sheets with parchment paper for baking cookies on a cold day!) The house was very clean and thoughtfully decorated in a way that was beautiful but still cozy. The hosts were very responsive and kind.Other vacation rental owners could use this property as a model for the the way to do it right!

The property was fantastic! Driftwood Dunes has owners that you can tell want to have a great experience for guests. We cooked almost every meal at the house and the kitchen is extremely well appointed and organized in a fantastic manner. The proximity to the beach access made for an easy walk to enjoy all that Lake Michigan has to offer! The beds were comfortable, house was clean and well maintained. Everything was top notch!

We could not have been more happy with the cottage and surroundings. The beach was incredible and so were the nearby parks. Ottawa Sands Lake is a hidden gem. The cottage is no more than a 10 minute drive to almost everything in Grand Haven. We highly recommend this property!
