Angela is so easy to work with and we have enjoyed her place for 4 years in a row now. This property has everything you need. When we aren’t playing games or relaxing on the large deck (with awesome tiki bar), we love that it’s close to the beach, golf, and pickleball courts.
This house/property is nicely laid out and spacious if youhave a larger group. Lots of space to spread out! It is also in a great location as our party explored Holland, Grand Haven, West Olive, etc. The grocery stores were pretty convenient also. The house seemed a bit more "worn" than the pictures show, but all in all, very decent and Angela was an attentive host.
We had an excellent stay again this year. The kids had a great time fishing on the dock. House has plenty of space with lots of amenities. And our host Angels is always easy to get a hold of and talk to.
Angela provided great directions and clearly outlined the checkin/check out process and rules. The house had everything you could need and was well stocked for a weekend trip.

Hi Audrey. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. Please come back anytime. Take Care, Angela.
Great property for large family gathering! Angela has thought of everything you might need to stay at the property and have plenty to do. We also took advantage of nearby Pickleball courts, golfed, and went to parks for sunset over Lake Michigan. Great location and very nice, comfortable house for all of us.
The property was just as described and we had a wonderful time. We did not lack for anything - Angela has alot of "extras" onsite for guest convenience and she was very helpful to area recommendations.

I’m so happy to hear you had a great time. We would love to host you again this summer. I hope you and your family have a happy and healthy new year!
Rented for my daughter's family weekend at Grand Valley State. This oasis gave us just what we needed. Plenty of space and lots of things to do. We had a group of 13 and everyone enjoyed it. Angela was amazing. Got information to us really fast and was extremely helpful.
Stayed here for my daughter’s college graduation weekend and walked in to a congratulations cookie basket that Angela left for my daughter. Very nice. Plenty of room for all of my family and friends.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house. We had plenty of room inside and out. The grandkids enjoyed fishing and the back yard. There is much to do in this area of Michigan also with all the great beaches and other activities available. Enjoy your time at the house or away - your choice.

Rita- I’m glad you and your family enjoyed your stay. I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer. Take care. Angela
Our family of 14, from infant to age 75, found this house met all of our needs and expectations. There were many amenities throughout, from an extra baby monitor to everything you need at the beach. Also games for every age indoor and out. Beaches were close and other attractions within 15 minutes. We had a great time!
Our children and grandchildren (18 total) stayed very comfortably at this property. Just as advertised with plenty of games and activities to keep all of the grandkids happy. We did lots of fishing with great results. Perfect place for our gathering! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home.
Great property and house with plenty of space for everyone. Angela always has a lot of additional items for use on her properties (beach chairs, towels, kiddie pools and other kids toys, and all kinds of games and activities). The pond was great as kids spent a lot of time fishing and playing in sand!
We had an extended group of 17 people with all age groups from infant to adult. Plenty of space for everyone. The host was very responsive and helpful. Convenient location close to downtown Holland as well as parks and beaches on Lake Michigan. Can't wait to come back!

the property was amazing. We had young boys and having the pier, ping pong, and areas to run was wonderful.
Lots of space for the sleeping many. It would have been nice to have 1 more full bath.
So many extras were in the garage available for use and the kitchen had its of pluses too.

Hi Cheryl. I’m glad you all enjoyed your stay. Thank you for the video message. That was great. Take Care!
Great home for a large family of all ages! Angela was MORE than accommodating and went above and beyond to make our stay excellent. Plenty of blankets and extra pillows - even baby gates for the little! Kayaks, beach volleyball, beach gear….plenty to do! Even a giant blow up water slide! Kitchen could use some additional cookware but other than that, we loved our stay. Highly recommend
