This is the best beach we have enjoyed since coming to the Holland area 20 years ago! Everything went smoothly and we had a great time. The house was well stocked and clean. How nice they let guests use their paddle board and kayak!

Perfect beach escape!! We have stayed here multiple years now, and hope to keep coming back. The beach is great, plus right next to a playground for our little one! Not too many stairs down either, which is huge :) Short drive to grand haven. Highly recommend!

Very relaxing one week stay in a beachfront house near Holland. The place was comfortable and had amazing sunset views, morning beach walks, and even a firepit for an evening smores party. Would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed a wonderful week in Michigan. The house was pretty, clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The property was beautiful with easy access to the beach. There are 42 steps down to the beach that might be difficult for some. We had great fun using the paddle boards and the water lily. We heartily recommend this property and hope to return ourselves. Very special place.

Great Lake Michigan Vacation

Cottage was as advertised! The home is well stocked and located an easy drive to both Grand Haven and Holland. We really enjoyed the private beach. It was very accessible with plenty of space to spread out. The host was very responsive and easy to work with. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

Absolutely perfect

The house is kept immaculately, and the sports amenities (kayaks, paddleboards, life jackets, etc.) are many. Nearly every window looks out at the lake, and the private beach is just that. We had a wonderful time, and our hosts were first-rate. We'd love to return someday. (Meanwhile, we have a couple hundred pictures to sort through.) Our stay was great in every respect.
