About this property

Lake Michigan House with Private Beach, Sleeps 12

  • Located approximately 2 hours from Chicago this home is nestled on over an acre of wooded land with a 70 ft private beach, semi-private tennis courts. You'll find plenty to do in this classic Lake Michigan house. Enjoy waking up each morning to the smell of fresh air, green grass, crisp leaves and the lake: take a long walk on the beach, relax on the screened in porch, play a round of tennis or cool off in the water; your evening can be filled with BBQing , smores at the beach, star gazing and laughing with friends and family.

    This home has a well equipped kitchen, comfortable living space complete with gas fireplace, a dining room, multiple large picture windows, a large sun deck and a breezy screened-in porch which is a great spot to relax with shade and fresh air. With 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, this house is great for larger families or groups of friends to convene for a vacation on Lake Michigan.

    Located just 10 minutes from Saugatuck/Douglass were you can enjoy downtown shopping, explore a variety of dining options, drive stunning golf courses, blueberry/strawberry/apple/pumpkin picking, explore the many cideries/breweries/wineries, hike the dunes or take a dune ride, create a masterpiece at the Art Barn, and in the winter this home is just 40 minutes away from Bittersweet Ski Resort.

    Amazing memories await!

The location and beach access was top notch. Neighbors are super friendly and accommodating. Only real minor feedback is one of the full-size/queen beds was without a mattress topper and less comfortable than the other two. However, all in all, the total package was well worth the costs. Plenty of amenities for kids and family (ping pong, tennis, pickleball, basketball, beach gear, etc.)

Beautiful getaway

The house is beautiful, clean, safe. We had family from ages 7 weeks old to 75 years old, and all were in awe of the beautiful view of the lake from the many common spaces. We had a wonderful time!

We had 11 people in our group - three generations from 7 to 70, and this house had everything we needed. The private beach and beautiful lake views were the best parts, but the kids also loved the tennis court, large yard, and basement bunk room! The family room is even bigger than it looks in pictures and offered beautiful views. The location of this home is amazing! Very short drive to many great towns.

Best Lakeside Adventure

Beautiful, well-kept lakeside property. The home was clean, spacious, updated and well-stocked with everything you need. Chris is the Property Manager and is quick to answer all your questions, extremely helpful. We had a group of six adults and had the time of our lives - fully enjoyed the deck, the breath-taking sunsets and the firepit at night. THANK YOU CHRIS for an amazing Michigan adventure. We will definitely book here again!

Lake Michigan sunsets

We are a group of older women on our annual gathering. Enjoyed days on the beach and evenings around the campfire. The rocky beach and lake presented a challenge for some, but we managed it with shoes. The house had everything we needed and is a beautiful place to enjoy Michigan's greatest lake. We loved every minute!

Another great week!

This was our second year renting this home and it was another wonderful vacation. The house is always clean and ready to go. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful. The best part, according to my kids is the beach and yard. The screened in porch is also a very popular place to hang. Thanks for a wonderful week!

This property met all of our needs so nicely. The owner Chris, was very pleasant to work with and prompt in answering any questions. The accommodations were very comfortable for the 10 of us. The yard and property is well maintained and perfect for backyard games. This property includes enough amenities for families to play together and relax together.

Lake MI in Fall

Gorgeous view & loved sound of waves. Family reunion with 8 adults in October. Plenty of room to spread out or gather with enough seating, large dining table and beds. Down bedroom is a little chilly but there were extra blankets. Kitchen stocked with dishes, pots, utensils to prep food. Outdoor firepit was a hit. Owner is communicative & prompt with responses. We recommend!

This is the one!

Our group of high school friends, all woman of a certain age ;), stayed at this home for three nights. Location is convenient to South Haven, Saugatuck, and Holland. Very quiet and private to return to in the evening after exploring. The sunset views were amazing. Private beach was amazing. Fire pit was amazing (wood provided). There is also a tennis court and ping pong table for guests use. House was well stocked and clean. Plenty of kitchen gear if you want to cook. Plenty of bath towels and washcloths provided. We may be making this an annual trip! Thanks for letting us visit your home. Forgot to mention the screened in porch and large deck with wonderful views of the lake! Five stars all around!

Fantastic spot on the lake

Everything was exactly as described in the listing. So very thankful, especially for our Grammy, to have access to a beautiful beach without a bunch of stairs. The yard was perfect for family games of softball, spud, catch, fires and smores. A word of warning about the beach… make sure you bring water shoes! There are lots of rocks in the water—large and small—that make the walk in a little bit painful! The screened in porch was the perfect place to relax at dusk to enjoy the sounds and scenes and family without worrying g about bugs getting you. And the view from the living room every morning was breathtaking. For us it was a dream fulfilled to be right on the lake like that. We already booked our stay for next summer and cannot wait

Fabulous beach getaway

We brought a group of 11 — 5 adults and 6 teenaged girls — and the house was absolutely fantastic for us. It's big and open enough to hold a large group without ever feeling crowded; we could all have dinner on the back deck together, but if you wanted a quiet spot to read in the morning, you could always find that too (the screened in porch is perfect for that). The bedroom situation is a little awkward with older kids but not a problem. The proximity to the beach is just unbeatable — rather than a set of stairs or a long walk down the sand and rocks, you just stroll down the lovely back lawn and right onto a massive private beach. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Check in/out went smoothly and Chris responded quickly and helpfully to all of my questions. We feel lucky we found this house, and we'd love to come back. Hopefully next year!

Great Location

Location - property location was excellent, close proximity to the beach, can see the sunset from the deck. The beach was a bit rocky, so would recommend bringing water shoes if you plan on swimming. Check-in process - the host was flexible and let us check in early, but was just given a code to the door, and got no directions on how to get there. We went down the wrong road initially per google maps. Upon check-in - there was a one page document with places to eat, and the wifi password, no other details about the property or the area were provided. Communication with property manager was excellent before the stay, quick responses and very flexible. After the stay I reached out 13 days ago, and have not received a response. Cleanliness - to me this seemed like a typical family beach home that is not occupied most of the time (marks on the walls, musty smell in the basement, wires hanging out of the ceiling where lights use to be, holes in the screen in the screened in porch). It is at the end of the rental season, so I am sure that something to do with it. We did encounter a couple mice during the stay, which I am sure is common for for this kind of home, but was a first for me at a rental property. Connectivity - the entire group got spotty cell service at best which would have been good to know this going into it - YMMV. Wifi is provided but coverage throughout the home, including the main tv for streaming, is also spotty at best.

This was one of the better vacation rentals I have stayed in. The layout is great for groups and the property is incredible. Huge lawn, spacious deck, comfy screened porch, and a beautiful beach. Beds were comfy and bathrooms were a good size. AC worked great on some 80 degree days. Made me want to come back to west Michigan. There was a good variety of cooking utensils and dish-ware, but there wasn’t much by way of ingredients. That was totally fine though because there’s a Meijer less than 20 minutes away so we were able to grill multiple evenings.
