About this property

Waterfront | Beachfront | Private on Lake Michigan | 15 mins to Charlevoix

Take in unforgettable sunsets over the emerald waters of Lake Michigan from this inviting lakeside home. The split-level outdoor patio is made for easy summer living, with a lava rock gas fire pit, a large dining table that seats six, and six Adirondack chairs—perfect for relaxing as boats drift by. If you enjoy rock hunting, you’ll love this location, with miles of shoreline known for some of the best finds in Northern Michigan.

You’ll also stay connected with TrueStream fiber internet, offering speeds up to 1000 Mbps.

Inside, the home opens to a bright, open-concept living room and kitchen centered around a cozy gas fireplace. The fully equipped kitchen includes a wine cooler, dishwasher, stove, microwave, Keurig, and a standard coffee maker—everything you need for both quick mornings and laid-back dinners.

The main level features a private primary suite with a walkout deck, walk-in closet, and a full bathroom with a walk-in shower. Upstairs, you’ll find two additional guest bedrooms, each with a queen bed, along with another full bathroom.

When you’re ready to explore, downtown Charlevoix is just a short drive away, with great restaurants, boutiques, and local coffee shops. If you’re visiting in July, don’t miss the Venetian Festival, a weeklong summer tradition. You can also take a day trip to Traverse City to enjoy wine tasting and explore some of Northern Michigan’s top vineyards.

Whether you’re here for the views, the water, or simply to slow down, this home offers the perfect place to relax and enjoy it all.

Only 15 miles to Torch Lake, 13 miles to Downtown Charlevoix, 30 miles to the Boyne Mountain Resort, 45 miles to Traverse City and 72 miles to the Sleeping Bear Dunes.

*2-night minimum
**3-night minimum during the Summer Season
****We highly recommend 4-wheel drive in the winter months as this home is located off a secondary road.

This property is located within a year-round lakeshore community and is more suited to groups looking for a peaceful, restful experience. The community requires noise control measures and has designated "quiet times" at night (after 10:00). This place is ideal if you're looking to recharge in a peaceful idyllic place on the big water, but unsuitable for disruptive/noisy parties

Very nice beachfront vacation home

Well appointed furnishings, nice bed linens and pillows, good kitchen(knives need sharpening) had nearly all we needed and expected for a nice family getaway. Close to Charlevoix and far enough to really enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Holiday getaway

This home was the perfect place for us to get away with close friends for a little getaway between Christmas and New Years. The living space is cozy with a great fireplace and breath taking private view of the lake. Fit our group of 4 adults well, but could be a tight fit for a larger group. The property lends itself to privacy and the beach felt like our very own. We walked on the beach in coats and hats and could walk for miles. We even bundled up and sat around the outdoor gas fire pit! Overall, this is an excellent and very comfortable vacation rental. We would definitely consider staying again.

Stunning retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property was perfect for our girls retreat. Thoroughly enjoyed the clean and inviting home which had plenty of space for all five of us, but the quiet and peaceful location right on the water was definitely the best part of our stay. Sitting around the gas fire pit while we took in the stunning view of Lake Michigan was the perfect way to wind down the day. Would definitely stay here again!

It felt like having a piece of Lake Michigan in your backyard, just beautiful unobstructed view, waves crashing, just idyllic.

Quiet Retreat

House was beautiful. The highlight obviously being the private lakefront location. We loved playing in the lake each day. Rarely saw anyone except an occasional kayaker. House was comfy and functional. Only downsides for us were lack of blinds or curtains. If you're hoping to sleep in or that your kids will, this will be an issue. Views were beautiful though. We could have used more towels too. I've never had a restricted number in any other vrbo and it was a struggle as the girls needed towels for both hair and body. We used beach towels instead which worked fine. Enjoyed our stay. Location was great for us as we like space and privacy. Very close to town and easy access to 31.

Great location to stay on Lake Michigan

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a great location to spend right on Lake Michigan. The house was beautiful and in excellent condition. The kitchen, living room and master bedroom have excellent views of Lake Michigan. The back deck was beautifully furnished with a large dining table with 6 chairs, a fire pit, six Adirondack chairs and leads right to the Lake. I did have to call for maintenance since two chairs were missing screws, but a maintenance staff member came out early the next day to repair. Excellent communication by staff during the visit on the arrival and exit details and highly responsive for any issues. This location is also about 20 minutes from Charlevoix to enjoy the town. The house is located on a dirt road, but this presented no issues in summer weather.
