Amazing Lake Michigan Waterfront Custom Home With 186’ Of Perfect Sandy Beach!!
Property featured as the cover image of White Lake area Visitor Guide 2023.
Welcome to Beachin View Villa! Perfectly situated directly on a 4+ acre Lake Michigan frontage lot. This three bedroom home has 183 feet of Private sandy beach. The amazing views are some of the most unique you'll ever see as this extensively custom engineered home is literally built at the peak of one of the highest dunes in the area. With an elevation approaching 100 feet, and virtually no trees to obstruct your view, you can see for greater than 10 miles and nearly 180 degrees of blue Lake Michigan waters without even stepping outside. No need to lower the window treatments and block out the breathtaking views of this extremely private location as it is located in the exclusive, safe and gated North Gray Dunes Association. Catch a glimpse of shipping freighters as they pass by in the distance while enjoying a cup of coffee, espresso, cappuccino or cafe' latte (coffee maker, espresso machine and coffee bean grinder supplied). Watch your children as they play on the beach below or play on the private swing set just steps away from the water's edge. Enjoy a competitive game of sand volleyball on the extensive soft, sandy beachfront. Play a bit of catch with a baseball and glove or toss a frisbee with family members while barefoot on the beach. Walk for miles along the beach while framed by a beautiful picturesque Lake Michigan backdrop. Enjoy a peaceful paddle along the shoreline in the two supplied kayaks. Turn a keen eye to the sky and the tree tops, and you just may spot one of the local American Bald Eagles searching the waters for food to feed their young. Recall simpler days as you reconnect with family members over a board game in the luxurious, view filled, four season room. Pitch a tent up on the beach for the kids to enjoy an evening at a private lakeside campsite. Relax with a glass of wine as you witness some of the most amazing sunsets you'll ever see. Enjoy smores cooked over the fire pit, or observe planets and other views of the universe through the provided electronic drive and computer controlled Meade telescope with some of the darkest skies Michigan has to offer. This is the perfect private beach retreat. The ultimate peaceful seclusion of a truly private beach retreat with full access to connect with loved ones or work via the new Fiber Optic 1000 mb/sec ultrafast internet added September 2021.

Great stay at a wonderful location! Property was beautiful and had great amenities for the whole family. Host was courteous, helpful, and communicative. Can't wait to come back!
Couple of minor hiccups but otherwise outstanding experience. Home was exceptionally well outfitted with virtually any kitchen and beach supplies one would need for enjoying the experience. Views and privacy are amazing.
Amazing views! The home was beautuful. There was a view of the lake out every window. We didnt leave all weekend. We watched the deer play in the water every morning. The hike up to the house and down to the beach was definitely a haul but it was worth it. Thank you for having us!
Amazing view of Lake Michigan… you can listen to the waves from the cliff house, the walkway patio, or with your feet in the water. Very private beach which we walked the shoreline every morning. Three bikes and kayaks were all enjoyed. House is clean and nicely appointed. FYI you are pulling up to a garage when you arrive, the house is hidden from view. There is a double ramp to get from garage to the house… both a manual and powered cart are provided to assist in bringing your personals up to the house. Bring firewood for the patio fire pit, McCormick gas station nearby sold bundles. Mac Woods dune rides is about 30 minutes away, well worth the trip we really enjoyed that.
Kick back and relax is what you will do once you master stairs! The owners have thought of everything to make the stay really nice. We really enjoyed our stay, it truly is a gem of a location.
We wanted a quick getaway with snow and sledding. We had no idea how beautiful frozen sunsets over Lake Michigan could be, even though we are from Indianapolos. It was magical.
Everything, from the incredible view, to the cleanliness and quality of the home, to the communication with the owners was all we could ask for. This VRBO rental is one of the top places we've stayed. Lovely!! Thanks so much for sharing your home.
This property is beautiful! The house is perfect and the views are amazing! The steps down to the beach were totally doable for everyone in our group (even the grandparents). We had such a great time and definitely want to plan to come back!
My Wife & I had a great stay - awesome Lake Michigan views, great walking beach, clean and comfortable house with all amenities we could wish for. Highly recommended!
We absolutely loved our stay. The house had everything you could want, and the views are spectacular. Quiet stretch of perfect Lake Michigan beach. I wish we had a second week there!
We truly enjoyed our stay - adult children joined us and we had a wonderful week of bike rides, golf and beach sitting. The stairs leading down to the beach were many but truly worth it - the privacy and stunning water views, sunsets and moon watching made for wonderful memories.
Hike from the garage to the house is not for the weak. Wonderful property. Well equipped. Up to date with modern appliances, countertops. Comfortable beds. Everything was amazing!
Beautiful house and setting. Excellent property owners. Weather was perfect and location was top notch. House had a few quirks but overall was one of the best properties we have rented. Two weeks was just enough time to get our Lake Michigan groove on.
What a wonderful property! It was clean and very well appointed. The views and beach were spectacular. Our hosts were superb and supplied water and battery charges when the power went out due to an extremely strong storm that affected the entire coast. The communication with our hosts was very responsive. We had a lovely family vacation and would love to plan another stay
We really enjoyed our time at the house, relaxing with lots of things to do inside and outside the house. We enjoyed the kayaks, swimming in the lake, games, movies and so much more. Provided was a fully stocked kitchen, bath towels, beach towels, beach toys, beach chairs and so much more. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.
