Charmer Galore Town Center / Runabout Resort Amenities
This 1800sq. ft. 1920's historic home in Grand Haven boasts personalized and tasteful décor with a complete remodel in 2017and updated interior in 2021 . This is an amenity-rich environment with 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, and sleeps 8 comfortably, but, can accommodate 10.
The layout of the 2-story house is as follows. On the main floor, there is a king bed in the master bedroom. The second bedroom on the main floor houses a single / pull out couch bed. Also on the main floor is the spacious living room with a large flat screen TV and plenty of comfortable seating. There is free WIFI. Despite being a historic home, this home boasts an open concept design for today's living. Situated between the living room and kitchen is a gracious dining room with seating for up to 12. The completely renovated full bath is conveniently situated for both bedrooms to share. And don't forget the huge covered front porch with outdoor seating enabling you to enjoy all that this quiet neighborhood has to offer.
Best of all, on the main floor, overlooking the back yard is the newly designed kitchen, completely remodeled in 2017, with new appliances, granite counters, eating bar and beautiful lighting and décor. For your convenience, washer and dryer are available in the basement. The large, level, back yard has a brand new patio, furnished with beautiful patio furniture and café lighting, a fire pit with seating for 10, gas grill, space for dining and sunning in lounge chairs, and a huge grassy yard for outdoor games and kids antics. We can't wait for you to start making your own memories!
And that's just the main level. Up a beautiful staircase are two huge bedrooms, and a completely renovated 3/4 bath with walk-in shower and large double vanity. The first second floor bedroom boasts 2 double/full size beds and the second room, with access to the sun deck, has both 1 queen and 1 twin bed. A third "Bonus room" off the bathroom offers a full/ double size futon.
There is ample off street parking for three cars in the driveway and more on the quiet street.

About the host
Hosted by Britta Poort

Hi, I am Britta.
35 years ago, I started a journey looking for adventure leaving my hometown in Germany and arriving in Grand Haven, Michigan recruited to work as a physical therapist. How lucky can one get, right? I met my husband Mike, a native of Grand Haven a couple years later. We have two children, a son and a daughter, Though we are considered "empty nesters" at this time we stay busy enjoying our passions. Mike loves to restore antique wooden boats and recently finished restoring a 1954 Chris Craft Holiday. We love taking long walks with our Golden Retriever in Duncan Woods and on the beach. And then of course, there is my true passion, managing our vacation rental property. No matter if you are coming for a weekend or an extended family vacation, I put my heart and soul into making your stay enjoyable and memorable. I love meeting new guests and welcoming return visitors to the Runabout Resort. I hope to build lasting relationships that bring you back to our beautiful town and my house for years to come.

Why they chose this property
While my husband Mike was born and raised in Grand Haven, chance brought me here 35 years ago from Germany. Having raised our children in this beautiful place I have long called Grand Haven home myself. The friendly community, beautiful sunsets over Lake Michigan, beaches and walks along the boardwalk will make you fall in love with our town.
What makes this property unique
From enjoying your first cup of coffee in the morning sitting on the beautiful front porch or balcony to having a barbecue at dinner time or sitting around the fire pit roasting marshmallows at night, you will love our cozy house and spacious backyard. Recently remodeled, beautifully furnished and filled with many amenities you won't lack any comfort. Staying in close vicinity to many attractions will make you want to take a nice evening walk to enjoy that ice cream cone at 'Sweet Temptations', a beer at the local brewery or watch an amazing sunset over Lake Michigan from the boardwalk, the pier or the beach.
