This vacation home places you next to Lake Michigan and within a mile (2 km) of Michiana Beach. The vacation home includes a kitchen, a fireplace, and a patio.
Welcome to EpitoMI, a beautifully updated vacation home in the heart of Grand Beach, Michigan. Just steps from private Lake Michigan beach access, this spacious seven-bedroom retreat was designed specifically for larger families, multiple families traveling together, golf groups, girls’ trips, and friends looking for a memorable Southwest Michigan getaway.
One of the home’s biggest advantages is the rare combination of two full kitchens and two separate living rooms, allowing large groups to spread out comfortably while still enjoying time together. Whether you’re preparing meals for a crowd, watching the game, enjoying a movie night, or simply looking for a quiet place to relax, there’s room for everyone.
After a day at the beach, unwind in the hot tub, gather around the fire pit, enjoy dinner under the pergola, or challenge your group to games in the garage game lounge.
