Holland is known for its annual Tulip Festival, a celebration of the blooming of the flower each May, but it is so much more! This home, although tucked off the main thoroughfare for privacy, is just a short jaunt from all the Holland & Grand Haven downtown attractions, festivities, shops, grocery stores, restaurants and marinas.

The view upon pulling into the driveway of this luxury lakefront home will mesmerize you. Traveling with children? They may want to stop and play a game of basketball on the half-court set up on the driveway.

Upon arrival, you will be lulled into the beach town life. Drop your bags and head to the path of your own, private 90x20 beach. The beach is easily accessible with private stairs and a beautiful deck overlooking Lake Michigan. Tunnel Park Winds Nest Beach, Holland State Park Beach or Grand Haven City Beach are additional, nearby beach options. Beach chairs, towels, wagon, toys and a cooler is provided.

This open floor plan has been thoughtfully designed & updated with a brand new seawall, beach stairs, deck, hardwood flooring, staircase, furniture, mattresses, fire-pit, & hillside swing-set overlooking Lake Michigan.

ZZZ's by the C is ideally situated 1/2 way between downtown Holland & Grand Haven along the Lake Michigan shoreline.

Ready to explore the water? First, head down the beach stairs to your own pristine Lake Michigan Beach. Looking to venture out?
