The space
Adorable Beach Area Cottage for a Perfect Vacation Getaway.
With so many things virtually at your doorstep, this cottage is the Perfect Getaway any time of year. A quiet cozy cottage in a unique area within a short relaxing walk to clean, sandy, and quiet Lake Michigan Beach. Sleeps 6-8 people comfortably. The open, bright, and pleasing feel inside the cottage is enriched with elements to tie it in with the surrounding woods and coastal atmosphere. When the air conditioning is not desired, the large opened windows let in the light as well as the soothing roar of the waves over the dunes on the lakeshore and the seabreezes wafting through the trees. During the Autumn and Winter seasons, a roaring fire in the fireplace completes the ambience of the wooded wonderland.
WHAT'S PROVIDED
The entire cottage space is included for our guests' use. Bed, bath, and kitchen linens are provided as well as kitchen dinnerware, cookware, silverware, coffee maker, toaster, and microwave oven. The only items guests really need to bring are their clothes, swimming and other sporting gear, and any food items they wish to consume during their stay. In addition to the newly remodeled bathroom inside, the outside shower provides guests the chance to rinse off al fresco upon returning from the beach. Speaking of the beach, this property comes with beach rights, so you will have access to the exclusive, beautiful beach that only neighborhood residents and guests enjoy. This beach also offers the option of having a beach fire to roast hot dogs and smores and enjoy a flickering flame under the twinkling stars at night (we will provide you with the simple directions to get a fire permit).
Other things to note
Rates vary depending on week, weekend, or week-night stay and holidays. You can enjoy discounts for various lengths of stay starting with 3-night stay discount, week stay discount, and month-long (28-day) stay discount, which are included automatically at booking. All rates are subject to change at any time without notice. The required local taxes (7% sales tax and 5% accommodation tax) are added at final check out. After a reservation is confirmed, you will receive a confirmation with check in details and specific driving directions.

Beautiful peaceful home on a dead end street that over looks a harbor. There is is a bus that runs up into town

Perfect setting! Games for the kids, quiet neighborhood! Quick walk to the beach, the kids had a blast, and the place was comfortable and fun for all of us! Definitely plenty to do!

The cabin was great for family. We enjoyed the outside as well as the many thoughtful items inside. Books, puzzles, and various toys were all enjoyed by our one year old. Hosts extremely attentive to our needs. Enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

The property location was great. The home was clean and we appreciated all the games to keep the kids busy as it rained one day and we were stuck inside. However there were several things that could gave been updated. The bedroom floor upstairs was chipped and tile was missing in several places. The basement ceiling tile had a water leak stain, there were too many open areas to the crawl space that made us not use the basement bedroom or bathroom. I rehab homes. All of these things are a pretty easy inexpensive fix. Probably about a weeks rental cost. The appliances needed updates as well. The enamel was chipped on the refrigerator and the stove was a manual lighted gas ignition. Which isn't safe around kids or the elderly. We did make the best of the home but I wouldn't rent again unless it was updated.
