This luxe 3-bedroom, single story house on the shores of Lake Michigan is a beach lover’s paradise. It’s been completely renovated from front to back, with everything new creating a home-from-home for a family or group of friends who appreciate the finer things in life. And it will be all yours for however long you book it, with every room offering up luxurious living for all guests.
OPEN CONCEPT LIVING / DINING / KITCHEN AREA It’s hard not to be amazed by the quality of this space, with its ceiling featuring exposed wooden beams, and floor to ceiling windows that give you panoramic views of Lake Michigan and the surrounding area. Enjoy spending time together in this wide open space overlooking the water. Get relaxing in the sitting area with a comfortable sofa offering up a place to kickback and unwind, perhaps to catch up with fellow guests you’ve not seen for a while. You’ll be surrounded by stunning views of the lake (watch out for those epic sunsets) and will also have a smart TV to watch if there’s time.
When it’s time to eat, the kitchen provides a fully equipped area in which you can get snacks or meals ready for your group. A large oven and stovetop ensure there’s space to cook all kinds of dishes, with all the cookware and cutlery you’re likely to need waiting for you.
For mealtimes, you have options - some can choose to sit at the stools on the kitchen island. Others can gather around the nearby dining table. Either way, take the chance to toast good times and great living. Revel in taking the opportunity to be together in a house that’s presented and furnished in a truly exceptional fashion.
THE 3 BEDROOMS It’s hard to beat the relaxing joy you’ll experience falling asleep to the sound of the waves of Lake Michigan, and then waking up to spectacular views. There are 3 bedrooms in the house, two of which have king beds, with the third featuring 2 x single beds and 2 x double beds. All have top quality mattresses and bedding to ensure a great night’s sleep for everyone. And you’ll find plenty of space to store your belongings, in closets and chests of drawers in each of the rooms.
THE 2 BATHROOMS The stylish luxury continues in both of the bathrooms, each of which has a toilet, vanity, as well as bath tub with shower overhead, giving you options when it comes to how you get ready for days out (or evenings in!) You’ll find quality towels here for all guests and a selection of toiletries, plus plenty of space to store your favorite gels, lotions, shampoos etc.
OUTSIDE SPACE An outdoor entertaining area means you can enjoy the great outdoors as well as the stunning interior when you stay here.
Booking this beach house gives you access, via steps, to your own secluded and private stretch of beach on the shores of Lake Michigan. No doubt you’ll be itching to get out on the water. If so, you’re welcome to use the kayaks and paddleboards supplied by your hosts.
For those in your group who prefer to look at the water rather than getting on or in it for a swim, there are joyous sunsets to be enjoyed from seats outside the house or from down on the beach.
REMOTE WORKING The entire property is served by fast WiFi. There are plenty of places inside and outside for you to sit and get tapping on the keys of your laptop if you have work to do.
PARKING You’ll discover space for multiple vehicles at the front of the beach house, so you won’t have far to wheel your bags from your cars into the property when you arrive.
YOUR AVAILABILITY / GUEST ACCESS Your hosts are delighted to make this 3-bedroom house with a private beach exclusively available to you for however long you wish to make your reservation. The house, its outdoor entertaining area and private beach will be yours and yours alone. The only area of the house which will not be accessible is the cellar/basement.
When you confirm your booking, you will be given the telephone, text and email details of a locally-based concierge who will be able to answer questions and provide assistance if needed.

ARCADIA BLUFFS GOLF COURSE Bring your clubs or hire a set and enjoy a round at this beautiful course nearby, or choose one of the many other courses in the area.
BEACHES You have your own private beach of course, but there are other public beaches in the area - including First Street Beach - that are great for rock and sea glass hunting, or for just sitting, relaxing and watching the world go by.
DOUGLAS PARK Here’s where you can play basketball or tennis, enjoy a picnic or just some me-time with a book, as well as access to another beach, all within 5 miles of the house.
THE WATERWORKS MUSEUM Explore the local area’s railroad and marine history in this popular destination full of fascinating exhibits, just 4.6 miles from the house.
MANISTEE NORTH PIERHEAD LIGHTHOUSE Check out this locally famous lighthouse located at the end of a pier and dating back to the 19th Century.
GETTING AROUND You’ll need a car to get here, and there’s plenty of space outside the house where you can leave it. Once here, you’ll have the option to drive to all kinds of nearby attractions. Or you can stay closer to the beach house and enjoy the hiking and biking trails, or getting around on the water from your private beach by using the kayaks or paddleboards provided by your hosts.
You can also ask the concierge to book a shuttle service to take you to and from the nearest major airport at Chicago O’Hare.

Beautiful property!
We had a wonderful week at this rental! The property and home were stunning. Beds were very comfortable, and there was plenty to keep my two young kids occupied. We spent hours walking the beach looking at rocks and finding seaglass. The views and the sound of the waves are simply incredible. Thanks for a special week!

Relaxing Week with Beautiful Sunsets
Our family enjoyed a wonderful week at this lakeside cottage. Kitchen was very well stocked, with beautiful views of the lake. The bunk room was perfect for our two children! The kayaks and paddle board were awesome when the lake was calm, beautiful clear water! Highly recommend a visit to Sleeping Bear Dunes and the charming town of Ludington nearby.

Lake Michigan family beach vacation
This was our 7th summer in Michigan and our 6th rental house there. The house was very clean. With 3 kids, we loved the easy access to the water/beach water (searching for sea glass is so much fun), the additional tvs (including the one in the enclosed porch), the friendliness and helpfulness of the hosts, we could go on and on. Check out the Daily Bakehouse in Manistee, Sleeping Bear Dunes (and nearby Glen Arbor).

Family Lake Michigan Beach Vacation
The house is nearly perfect! We’ve rented quite a few Lake Michigan vacation homes and this is our new favorite! The beds are comfy! The home is so clean. We didn’t find ourselves working around someone else’s toiletries, clothes or food. The extra tv room/bunk house was a huge hit with our teens! We appreciated the quality appliances and kitchen wares. The hot water seemed endless. The nearly 180 degree view of Lake Michigan was beautiful. We hope to return!

Gorgeous and relaxing inside and out!
The property is beautiful - the cottage is modern with a beautiful aesthetic. Appliances are all top grade. Beds super comfortable. Fabulous view of the lake from inside and out on a wonderful deck. Steps to the private beach. A wonderful fire pit out front. Beautiful sunsets. And the nature! We saw at least four different bald eagles. The hosts were very responsive and welcoming. This is a great place for families and couples alike. Two different wings give different parties privacy and their own bathrooms. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic Vacation Home!
This property has spectacular views of Lake Michigan, great sunsets, modern appliances and accessories, and wonderful and thoughtful hosts who have gone the extra mile to make everything special for guests. The kids loved walking along the beach for sea glass, sitting around the fire pit, doing the river walk in Manistee, and driving up the Lake Michigan coastline. We loved everything about this place and plan to return.

We had two wonderful weeks at this great beach house. It was a perfect getaway. The outside living area is where we spent the most time. The spacious table on the deck made it easy for our group to have most of our meals. We grilled, played cards and watched the sunsets. We'll definitely return.
