Everything was great. The place had plenty of room and was enjoyable to stay. The grill and kitchen were stocked with everything we needed. I highly recommend if you have a big group that likes to have fun.

Beautiful house

We had a great time at The Holiday. The house was great with plenty of room for all of us. The screened in porch was a wonderful area to hang out and relax or play games. The beach access was easy to get to and the beach was beautiful. We had a lot of fun!

Unique location!

The property was perfect for a multigenerational family, age 1-80yrs old! The neighborhood is very unique with houses built on steep hills, requiring golf carts on paved pathways to reach some homes (including rental). Beautiful views!

Great family home

Terrific stay at this lovely home tucked away on a hillside overlooking Lake Macatawa. The house has great common areas, a spacious kitchen and plenty of beds. There’s also a large, beautiful screen porch. Easy access to a quiet Lake Michigan beach. The owners were very helpful and hospitable. Highly recommend.

Great house near beach

House is just as listed: it’s big, fits a lot of people, in a cool hilltop neighborhood with easy beach access on Lake Michigan. Town of Holland is 10 min away and beautiful. House is nice, with lots of space to sleep and hang out and good amenities. Just as listed. We’d stay there again.

A peaceful retreat

The Holiday was perfect for my large family gathering. Amazing views of the bay and only a short walk to the beach. The house is tucked away nicely in the private neighborhood so you feel a nice sense of privacy. Our room of choice was the amazing sun room. Plenty of beds for everyone to sleep comfortably. Could not recommend more

Beautiful house near Lake Michigan

House was beautiful with perfect location! Easy access to Lake Michigan and gorgeous beach via golf cart provided by host. Close to Holland with lots of restaurants and shops. Free parking for up to 6 vehicles. House can only be accessed by golf cart which was provided by host. Otherwise need to park and walk up hill/steps. May be difficult for those with mobility issues.

This house was perfect for our family vacation this year. Plenty of space for 14 of us to gather as a group yet offer privacy when needed. The sun room was our favorite. We appreciated that the kitchen was well stocked with essentials and that there were plenty of bath and beach towels. The golf cart was especially useful to unload our luggage and travel back and forth to the beach because the house is located in an area with hills and we were traveling with an elderly family member recovering from surgery. The beach is private and pristine and the few residents we met in the community were friendly. The garbage disposal malfunctioned but was fixed promptly after we reported the problem. The owner/rental company staff were great communicators and met some of our party upon arrival to get them settled. We would recommend this property and would stay again. Great area. Great house.

The house is very nice. There are plenty of beds on the three levels. There was plenty of dining area within the house and the adjacent solarium. However, there is no one table large enough for a large group. In our case, all of us never ate at the same time anyway, so that didn't create a problem. The kitchen has one electric stove top with 4 burners, an electric oven, dish washer, an upright refrigerator and a small refrigerator for drinks. Most large groups will need to bring coolers for drinks The home was clean and orderly. The home is at the end of a lane/trail so it is in a private area. We had 6 cars in our group. The information indicates 4 parking spaces; with permission, we were able to park 2 additional cars in a church parking lot about 3 miles away. The 4 available parking areas are downhill from the house in 2 separate areas so the golf cart is useful if you have a lot of luggage and heavy coolers to take to the house. Access to the beach is not a direct line from the home and is an uphill return. The golf cart is available for getting to and from the beach but with a large group (we had 12 adults and 1 three year old), that almost required a designated driver to transport people to and from the beach. Obviously, one can walk to and from the beach; just be prepared for a hilly hike.

Mother Nature wasn't planned for

The house we rented for our golf outing was a very nice house. I would not rent it again however for several reasons. The access from the parking area, up the many, many steps to get to the screened porch, is too difficult for my age group.We stayed during a terrible rain storm and power went out. Lack of lights is one thing, but the plumbing and well are tied to the electrical so we didn't have plumbing I have been told a generator was installed after we left, but we didn't have it during our stayThe owner provided all refunds we requested and I appreciate that

WOW - what a wonderful house this is. We had 12 people staying in the house ages 9 months-66 years old and it was comfortable for all. The best thing about this house is the private beach. It is where we spent the majority of our time. The house had beach chairs and umbrellas to use which came in very handy. We cooked all of our meals in the giant kitchen which is a great place for hosting!We loved this house SO MUCH that we already secured it for Summer 2026!A couple of items to note:-the appliances in the house are a little outdated (refrigerator, dishwasher, washer and dyer). -the WiFi didn’t really work during our stay. We reset it and were unable to get it to work. -the kitchen is stocked but could use a little updating (including a crockpot, more mixing bowls, more basic cooking utensils, etc).

Comfortable with a beautiful view

Overall, we love the house! The bedrooms were spacious, and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was large enough for us to all prepare breakfast. We used the sunroom patio to play games and talk. The kids went to the basement to play bags and ping pong, The only issue that we ran into was the parking. We tried to squeeze five cars into four spaces. We then discovered there was another area to park. Having a golf cart was a blessing. We even managed to move everyone up in the rain without getting soaked. We took a ride down to the beach even though it was cold. It was worth it. It was absolutely beautiful. I loved working with Sterling. They were absolutely great.

Memory making week for our family

We really loved our stay at “the holiday”! Our whole family said it was their favorite place we have stayed over the years. The size and layout was really conducive to times together and space for us as families too. We had 15 of us me and my wife- 4 kids and spouses- and 5 grand kids. The house gave us room to be together and have our own space as well. The 3 season porch was a favorite in the home. As well as the area on the deck with a view to Lake Macatawa. The golf cart - an unexpected help and fun addition- it made the back and forth to the beach easier and was a hlighlight for our grandkids! Both Leslie and Erin were really helpful with the few things that came up during the week. And treated us well and with a serving posture. They helped it feel significant and special. The house was such a get away for us - decorated beautifully, with great amenities for a large family. And Lake Michigan was so wonderful to sit at the beach each day. Lots of space at the beach and felt more private than a crowded public beaches. For our family, this was a memory making week! We highly recommend the place and are so thankful for the management for how they served us before, during and after! Really great for a large family or group!
