Steps to Ridge Road Beach Renovated Home w/ Private Hot Tub, Firepit & Porch

Summary:

The Sunset House



The Space:

Perfectly situated within walking distance less than 200 feet from Ridge Road Beach, this newly remodeled home in the quiet community of Grand Beach is a place for families looking to relax on the scenic shores of Lake Michigan. You can swim, sunbathe, and spend your days playing golf, tennis, and basketball, and be welcomed home by a private hot tub and a firepit to make your evenings all the more special. The Sunset House enjoys a prime location on a tranquil side road, with Lake Michigan visible from the front yard, a nine-hole golf course around the corner, and a great playground with an expansive grassy field, basketball courts, tennis courts within walking distance. Inside, this renovated home is comfortable and up to date, offering such comforts as a washer/dryer for the day's swimsuits, high-speed WiFi for streaming, air conditioning, and flatscreen TVs in both of the living rooms and all of the bedrooms. The main-level living space is wonderful for mingling, bringing together a sunny living room with a fireplace, a six-person dining room table, and a full kitchen with cheerful yellow cabinetry and stainless steel appliances (including a French-door refrigerator and a dishwasher). There's a Weber gas grill outside to assist with afternoon barbecues, a screened-in porch off the dining room where you can relax both morning and evening, and a second living area downstairs that's great for kids. At night, you can gather around the firepit for s'mores in the yard, watch the stars come out from the warmth of the private hot tub, and eventually retire to one of the comfortable sleeping spaces. There are three bedrooms upstairs on the third level, while the basement-level living room doubles as a fun-filled bunk room for the kids. Things to Know Free high-speed WiFi Full kitchen No pets and no parties allowed *Due to scheduled maintenance, the fireplace is not currently operational and out-of-service until Jan. 16, 2022 This property is managed by Vacasa Michigan, LLC.

Loved the location. You could walk 2 min to the private beach- rocky and sand. We also checked out some of the local public beaches that were a short drive. The house great. The basement was perfect for the kids.

Nice Ranch Style House 300 ft from the lake.

The house is immersed in a small community that makes you feel like in heaven. The access to the beach is easy and it’s ideal for relaxing and recharge batteries.

Love the location. Could walk to small rocky beach. There were some cleaning and maintenance issues but Vacasa was very responsive. Well appointed kitchen. Hot tub was nice. Fire pit and grill needed to be moved out of the garage to use. The kids had the best time in their special area. They loved the bunk beds and there was a whole closet full of toys First time staying in the area. Less than 5 miles to New Buffalo beach.

Was told there would be a golf cart there was not. Tile in bathroom was chipping away and paint in whole house was chipping away. Could see where had a water leak at time in basement ceiling tile was water stained. Toilets didnt flush, Sink in basement would drain. House could use some updating. Couch in basement was broken.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your valuable feedback with us! After your stay, our maintenance team discovered that the sink stopper had gotten stuck, and we confirmed that the toilet was flushing properly. We’re also in the process of having the rugs professionally cleaned to ensure everything is fresh for future guests. The small chips in the tile are only cosmetic and, unfortunately, too minor to repair at this time. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused during your stay, and we truly hope we’ll have the opportunity to welcome you back again.

Great rental

Newly renovated, clean, well equipped home. Close to a small community beach which has nice access to Lake Michigan although wish it was more sand and less rocks/pebbles we loved the more private location compared with the public beaches. Would rent again!

Perfect location

We really like this property. The proximity to the beach was amazing and we loved that there was like a designated kids area to refrigerator, lots of TVs that we could watch for the Olympics. My only caveat is that it is extremely mildewy in the lower level. Please add some more lighting around the bedrooms, and bath fans are essential!

Great Stay!

What a great family vacation. Loved the layout of the house and all it had to offer. Just a short walk to the water down some stairs with a beautiful view and privacy. Its a small beach but we only ran into one other family half our time there and the rest of our time we had it to ourselves. There is also surrounding public beaches just a short drive away if that's more your style. "Beach front" was the main thing we were looking for and this was the perfect find.

Worth the price

Minor issues which included a missing remote from one of the bedrooms, soap dispenser that fell off of the shower wall and loose bricks on the front step. Otherwise overall great property. Be aware that this property is not right on the beach like the pictures make it appear.

Calm and spacious

The house had plenty of space. Lots of windows abs bright light during the day. The hot tub was clean and hot and plenty of towels to go around. Over all it was a good space and could easily house a family. Each room has its own thermostat, which was nice. We came on a colder Weekend and there were not any extra blankets so that could have been helpful. There were a few things that needed to be cleaned up around the property from the winter but overall it was a good experience.

Great Location, Wonderful Home

When the home we booked unexpectedly was no longer available, Vacasa quickly offered us two other options to insure our trip was not interrupted. Great customer service! The home was excellent for our family. Basement kid sleeping/play area was perfect for play, and provided a separate area for earlier bedtimes. Hot tub was nice and warm when we arrived! Private beach in walking distance of the home and a great park! Would definitely stay in Grand Beach and this home again.

Great Stay, Lovely Location!

The house is a little dated but had all the necessary need. The only issue we had found was a clogged bathtub on the day we checked in. That was addressed the next day when the plumber found a bottle cap in the drainer. I have also found another one in the bathroom sink. I’d say the it would be a good practice for the cleaning service to have a quick look for any water bottle caps or any other obstructing objects in drains. Other than that I’d recommend this house: its brings a great value and provides a perfect environment for a much needed break from our busy lives.

Great last minute getaway before our kids go back to school.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. This was our first time staying in this area. We normally spend our summers in Grand Haven or Holland. This porperty had everything we were looking for and close to places we wanted to go. The neighborhood is wonderful and peaceful. The walk to the beach was easy and we had the beach to ourselves. It was nice to watch the sunset, but it was hard for our kids to swim due to all the rocks. The tub hot made up for the beach. We would definitely rent this property again.

Great space and close to the beach

This place looks newly remodeled and is a 5 minute walk to the beach. We went on an 80 degree day and there were only 2 other families. An additional beach option is New Buffalo beach which is only a 5 minute drive (with lots of parking). The kids loved the basement and immediately claimed it as their room. We had 5 people and had plenty of space. We easily could have shared with another family. We will definately stay here again.

We loved the location but…..

Overall we had a reasonable stay…however the lack of follow up and follow thru when we reported issues was sadly lackingThe bathroom down stairs has mildew and the bathroom water flows into the toilet somehow and bubbles up but luckily not overLittle details are not really taken care of like the grout in between the tiles in the upper bathroom is failing and popping out; the kitchen garbage bin is broken and the shower upstairs has to be forcibly pulled open for water to come thru but there is still water entering the tub that has lost its drain cover

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you had a generally pleasant stay, and we appreciate you pointing out several maintenance and housekeeping concerns. Each of the issues noted has since been addressed: a full deep clean was completed to remove any mildew, the upstairs shower drain cover has been repaired, and the broken kitchen garbage bin has been replaced. We’re continuing to monitor grout wear and other small maintenance details so future guests can enjoy a smoother and more comfortable experience.

Needs some improvements

The house has a great layout for a larger group with ample sleeping area. It just needs a little love to bring it up to 5 stars. The beds are extremely hard, the kitchen needs a deep clean and instructions on where the breaker boxes are would be helpful

Hi, Valerie! We have suggested new mattresses to the homeowner, instructions for the breaker box have been posted, and a deep clean for the entire rental is scheduled. Thank you!
