We'll be back!

We loved our stay at Grand Beach! The house was perfect for our family of four. The layout was ideal, including a great primary bedroom that gave the adults their own space to unwind. The living room was cozy and comfortable. The pool was terrific and the outdoor lighting gave a welcoming night time ambiance. The beach toy selection was solid and our kiddos loved pulling the wagon of supplies to the beach. The walk to the beach was definitely less than 5 minutes -- even closer than we had anticipated. The beach is on the smaller side but was not at all crowded. The sunset views were indeed great. The house is also a reasonable walk to the playground. The yard across the driveway is large and we even saw a deer come through. Good food was a short drive away, and we got carryout several times. We came from central Indiana and were pleased to have found such a gem without having to travel farther north. (We had one issue but Gina handled it immediately and to our full satisfaction.) One of our very best VRBO experiences. We hope to be back!

Perfection!

We absolutely loved this house. This was our 5th year vacationing in Michigan and this was one of our favorites. The house was so beautiful and clean. It had everything we needed. The pool was wonderful for the kids. Just the right height for our 6 year old who enjoyed being able to touch and keep his head above the water. It was perfectly heated to my liking as well! The location was awesome too, a few houses away from a little beach perfect for collecting rocks and watching the sunset. A short walk to a playground area that also has volleyball nets, basketball courts and tennis. It was only a 5 minute drive into the town of New Buffalo. And Gina was so great to with. She had a basket of snacks upon our arrival which was nice. Communication was great. We had a few minor issues and she addressed them right away. We will for sure be back!

The perfect summer getaway

Our stay in Grand Beach was the best way to end our summer vacation. The house was just as described, incredibly clean, and stocked with essentials. The rental was missing a baby crib when we arrived and I reached out to Gina and she had one dropped off within the hour. It was the perfect little vacation super close to the very quiet beach. We spent the mornings at the beach and then the afternoons at the pool. The backyard was just right for our family with young children. The front yard was huge and gave the kids lots of room to run around. I especially loved how much storage was in the primary bedroom for all of our stuff. Will absolutely consider staying here again. Thanks, Gina!

A Piece of Paradise

The Resting Nest was a fabulous place to enjoy the beautiful Lake Michigan shoreline , the serene and peaceful surroundings of trees and rolling hills and a relaxing , well-appointed pool and amenities to swim and soak up the sun . We had a low key , rejuvenating stay and loved every minute of it! Accommodations were very comfortable, the owner was incredibly helpful and easy to reach and the large yard, complete with a fire pit was so nice !
