Beautiful Cottage on Lake Michigan w Private Beach

Welcome to Sandy Shores Lookout. Perched over a stunning slice of Lake Michigan shoreline the views don't get any better than this! Designed to feature unlimited access to a private beachfront, this cottage offers four separate decks and just 80 steps for days enjoying the clear waters and sandy beaches of Lake Michigan and the freedom to wander along the shoreline in both directions.

"We give it 5 stars!!
Wow what incredible Lake Michigan views that we enjoyed inside and out! The sunsets were amazing along with lots of time on the beach. The photos and description matched everything as described in the listing. Everything in the house was well equipped, even with comfortable beds."
Rick and Jeanne

Located just a short drive from both Holland and Grand Haven, this cottage offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms and a spacious open main floor plan. Imagine the memories you will make while gathering with family in the cozy living area or preparing meals in the well-equipped kitchen to enjoy around the open dining area, all featuring panoramic views of the lakeshore. On the upper level, you will find an expansive ensuite master bedroom with a king bed, full bath, and endless views. Wake up to sunrise from your cozy nest and make your plans for the day.

REVIEWS
"Our annual trip to this area was wonderful. This house was the best yet! Our boys love the beach and playing in the wave on tubes."
The Kaince Family

"Sandy Shores Lookout was a perfect getaway with the family. My favorite night of the trip was when we sat around the deck, cooked our fresh-caught Salmon, and watched the sun set. Other highlights included dinner at Sandy Pointe Beach House, Holland State Park and taking our 7-month-old down to the beach for the first time."
The Gater Family

"Working with Unsalted Vacations for our trip to Michigan was excellent in all respects…booking was easy, staff agent was very helpful answering questions, communications via email and text were very helpful and property was in perfect condition. Definitely a 10 out of 10 experience."

Beautiful view. Nice house. Well appointed. The beach ended up being a little too cool/windy. However, it was close to several nearby cities with other things to do (Grand Haven, Holland). The only thing that could have been better was a fire pit or hot tub . The stairs are daunting but manageable going slow for average sedentary adults. We had a nice time.
