Welcome to The Grand Adventure, a picture-perfect family retreat just steps from the beach. This spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath home offers plenty of room to relax, reconnect, and create lasting memories with family and friends.

One of the home’s greatest highlights is its prime location. Not only will you enjoy being just two blocks from Lake Michigan’s sandy shores, but you’ll also be within walking distance to the playground, 9 hole golf course, tennis, pickleball and basketball courts.

Summer-Spend your days with sand between your toes or splashing in the private heated pool.
Fall-Take in the brilliant foliage, explore nearby wineries and breweries, or enjoy horseback riding.
Winter- Bring the sleds and head to the local hills for wintry fun.
Spring-Discover beautiful hiking trails at nearby state parks and tee off at one of the area’s excellent golf courses.

No matter the season, The Grand Adventure is the perfect place to experience the charm of Grand Beach and the beauty of southwest Michigan.

Your getaway offers the best of both worlds—small-town charm and lakeshore relaxation, with vibrant attractions just minutes away. Unwind on the beach, sample local dining, or set out for outdoor adventures. With so much to do nearby, there’s truly something for everyone.

We look forward to welcoming you to The Grand Adventure, a home where memories are made year-round.

Absolutely love the Grand Beach neighborhood! We were there for a fall family gathering and we were just two small blacks over from them. Played family golf twice as well as pickle ball! House was just what we needed and just a few min walk to the Grand Beach pier and beach area. There seemed to be quite a bit of beach equipment available however we do not use any of it. Kitchen was well stocked with items you always wished you had at a vacation property such as oil and vinegar, spices and herbs, coffee and filters, cling wrap and foil. We hope this will become an annual trip for us and we will definitely stay here in the future!

Do NOT rent from this host. I would advise caution for those renting with teenagers. The property was accurately described and in good condition. However, we had a terrifying interaction with the host our first night. Unfortunately, we were accused of having a party and thrown out by the owner at 1am on July 4th. We were staying with our two teenage sons and three of their friends in this home. On our first night our son invited two of his friends over to swim remaining within the house limit of nine. I want to share this experience as a warning to potential renters especially with teenagers, so no one else has to face a similar situation after less than ten hours in a rental. It’s very scary that an owner would treat her customers in that matter especially when we were present in the home sleeping and there was no evidence of a party on the property. In the case report the officer states that she only saw five adults and my family and no other juveniles. Only seven teenagers were in the home and two adults, again not over the 9 person limit. Using the pool late at night is not a violation of the rental agreement and certainly not a party. If the kids were loud she could have called me. I have no missed calls from her. A group of uninvited teenagers coming to the front door of a house that we have never been to was out of our control and a scary situation to be in as first time visitors in this area. Those kids were asked to leave and they left never entering the home.

Five Star Stay!

Wow! A little slice of paradise in Grand Beach MI. We can’t say enough wonderful things. Gina, to start, was a wonderful and insanely responsive host. The home was clean, well stocked with the basic items you need, and had the perfect set up overall. Grill, pool, fire pit, and large living space - 10/10. A one minute walk to the beach made for amazing walks at night, and Gina helped set us up with a bonfire permit. We wish we could have stayed for much longer than we did. Our group had 4 adults and 5 kids and we loved our time together. Thank you!

A Perfect Summer Getaway

We had the BEST time at this property with our two little ones (ages 4 and 1)! It could not have been more perfect. We are already counting down the days until we can go back again next summer. The home was so comfortable and well-equipped with everything we needed. The beach was a quick walk (about 5 minutes while pulling a wagon) and the neighborhood was so friendly and perfect for strolls with the kids. The most wonderful property for a summer getaway and beautiful family memories!!

Fantastic Grand Beach home with a pool

Our family had a fantastic long weekend at this Grand Beach home with a pool. The house was very roomy and well equipped. A wonderfully equipped kitchen to cook and converse with our family encourages the togetherness for everyone. There is a large dining table and plenty of seating for everyone. All the bedrooms were large and had very nice bed linens. The bathrooms are new and very nicely done. The pool area was also clean and lots of chair options- lounge/ sun chairs, umbrella table and couch area. Only a short walk to the beach was a bonus for our nightly sunset watch party. We will definitely be back for another visit.

I have rented multiple times from Gina, but this was the first time at this house and we had a wonderful time. She was extremely responsive to any questions we had, and even arranged for us to be able to arrive a few hours early to enjoy the sunshine! The pictures look exactly like the home did when we arrived.
