Private beach

If it’s the beach you're after, this is the closest you’ll get. The home is older but sufficient. They deck is large and shaded. The views from the sunroof and deck never get old. We missed having a place to do a bonfire, they are not allowed on the beach. We were able to bring our dog and he loved running on the beach. The communication was exceptional.

This is the perfect location! Right across the street from beautiful Lake Michigan. I am a year round resident and I rented the house for my daughter and her family. Communication with the owner was excellent. I would recommend this house to anyone at any time of year.

Wonderful cottage on waterfront!

My husband and I, our friends, and our two dogs enjoyed very much staying in this well appointed, lovely cottage on the waterfront. The friendly host quickly responded to our questions. We hope to be back next year. I highly recommend the cottage. Thank you, Maria!

Fantastic

Everything from the view and sounds of the lake from the deck; to the cleanliness, to plenty of supplies and dishes provided; to the location of the beach and restaurants were exactly what we wanted and needed. Our contract and property owner were nice, easy to work with and very prompt to responding to us. It was a very relaxing and easy stay. We highly recommend. Thanks for the our time there. We miss it already.

Beach Front Haven

Wonderful stay with semi private beach that was awesome. Home is comfortable and clean with plenty of extras like coffee beach towels all soap for bath kitchen and laundry. Nice welcome from owner who met the family. Only negative was black ants that were more annoying than harmful. Reported to owner who will address. A wonderful stay and will recommend to others!

Amazing location with private beach!

We spent a week in this home and it was an incredibly relaxing getaway. The front deck overlooks amazing sunsets every night, and you have access to what is basically a private beach. This was a great house and the property owners were incredibly responsive if we had any questions.
