A little more about our two biggest neighbors:
Grand Haven, Michigan is a classic Great Lakes beach town celebrated for its lively waterfront, sandy shores, and welcoming small-town atmosphere. Nestled on the shores of Lake Michigan where the Grand River meets the lake, it’s best known for its iconic twin lighthouses connected by a scenic pier that’s perfect for sunset strolls. The city’s downtown buzzes with boutique shops, local eateries, and summer events, while the famous Grand Haven Musical Fountain lights up the night with synchronized water, light, and music shows. Outdoor lovers can enjoy miles of bike paths, fishing, boating, or relaxing at Grand Haven State Park, where the beach is just steps from the vibrant boardwalk. From summer festivals like the Coast Guard Festival to peaceful winter walks along the snowy shoreline, Grand Haven offers year-round charm with a true “Pure Michigan” feel.
Holland, Michigan is a vibrant lakeside city known for its unique blend of Dutch heritage, stunning beaches, and lively downtown charm. Situated along the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, Holland offers visitors a wealth of experiences—from strolling the cobblestone sidewalks of its boutique-filled downtown to exploring the colorful blooms at Windmill Island Gardens, home to an authentic 250-year-old Dutch windmill. Outdoor enthusiasts can soak up the sun at Holland State Park or Tunnel Park, both boasting wide sandy beaches and breathtaking sunsets over the lake. Seasonal festivals, such as the world-famous Tulip Time Festival each May, infuse the city with color, music, and Dutch traditions.

Really amazing property in a really amazing location. We really felt like we had the whole beach to ourselves most days. On another, we met a family who have been coming to the area for literal decades and they took us out on their aqua cat. We had a very restorative stay and our dog enjoyed watching all the beach and woods activities from the amazing deck.

We travel to Michigan each fall, and the view from the large deck and inside of this home was spectacular, one of the best on the west coast! The private beach was quiet, clean and great for swimming or water activities. The home itself was clean, well equipped, and airy. Everything you need, was there. And the neighborhood was safe and friendly. I have been a photographer for many years, and took many stunning photos of sunsets and lake activity. Another great feature was we were close to all the beach towns on the lower southwest Michigan coast including St. Joseph, South Haven, Saugatuck, Holland, Grand Haven and White Hall, among others. My only issue was the electric blinds, one or two wouldn’t lower. But the owners were aware and in the process of replacing. The owners were always available by messaging if anything was needed. Would we return to rent this home. Absolutely, 100 percent!
