Feel inspired by Lake Michigan's seemingly endless sugar sand beaches and sparkling waters as you envision your next get-away with friends & family. This custom-designed vacation estate boasts incomparable views of Lake Michigan with vibrant sunsets.

Grab a quick cup of coffee at home or head to one of the many cozy coffee houses in the area; Fuel up for the day with a delicious Dutch breakfast at one of the many brunch spots; spend the day shopping & sightseeing in one of Michigan's best beach towns; Soak up the rays at the beach or by the boat as clear blue water cascades onto the shores; Retire to the backyard for a BBQ Dinner and adjourn to the covered deck to take in the vivid sunset as it dips below the Western horizon at the end of the day.

Holland is known for its annual Tulip Festival, a celebration of the blooming of the flower each May, but it is so much more! This home, although tucked off the main thoroughfare for privacy, is just a short jaunt from all the Holland & Grand Haven downtown attractions, festivities, shops, grocery stores, restaurants and marinas.

The view upon pulling into the driveway of this luxury lakefront home will mesmerize you. Traveling with children? They may want to stop and play a game of basketball on the half-court set up on the driveway.

Upon arrival, you will be lulled into the beach town life. Drop your bags and head to the path of your own, private 90x20 beach. The beach is easily accessible with private stairs and a beautiful deck overlooking Lake Michigan. Tunnel Park Winds Nest Beach, Holland State Park Beach or Grand Haven City Beach are additional, nearby beach options. Beach chairs, towels, wagon, toys and a cooler is provided.

This open floor plan has been thoughtfully designed & updated with a brand new seawall, beach stairs, deck, hardwood flooring, staircase, furniture, mattresses, fire-pit, & hillside swing-set overlooking Lake Michigan.

ZZZ's by the C is ideally situated 1/2 way between downtown Holland & Grand Haven along the Lake Michigan shoreline.

Ready to explore the water? First, head down the beach stairs to your own pristine Lake Michigan Beach. Looking to venture out? Check out the Big Red Lighthouse in nearby Lake Macatawa (an all-sports lake) where you can rent or launch your own boat, jet ski or kayak at one of the local marinas. This lake house & location checks all the boxes for your upscale, yet Midwest vibe, vacation.

Traveling with a smaller group? Call our Freshwater Vacation Rentals office directly (734) 284-5677 or text our office cell (734) 837-4976 for a couple or small group price.

The Amazing View
We loved the view of Lake Michigan especially the sunsets. The home was well equipped with everything we needed. It was a spacious home with so many bedrooms, bathrooms and sitting areas. The swings, fire pit and porch seating were fantastic! And it was really nice to have a private beach. We were expecting a few more beds in the west second floor bedroom. The door to the east second floor bedroom stuck and could not be opened by the individuals inside the bedroom. On the first night they had to yell for assistance from other family members to open the door from the hall. Also, we were a little afraid the front door may have been difficult to open if we had to leave in a hurry and were unable to quickly unlock it with the key or if we had misplaced the key. A mug had powder stuck to the inside of it. A dish and bowl had food stuck to them. We didn't have hot water in the basement bedroom shower, We had a fantastic time, but if these little things would have addressed, the experience would have been absolutely perfect! Thanks for the unforgettable time! We loved being together as a family in such a beautiful home that was close to all the Tulip Festival events.

Unbelieveable views and Beautiful Home, but some areas for improvement
This house is all about the views of the lake! Simply stunning vistas off the bluff and the outdoor firepit and porches are amazing. That alone makes this place spectacular. The house had been recently renovated and is comfortable and well-stocked. Its about 20 minutes north of Holland, Michigan. So just enough time to feel "away from it all" but not be too far removed. There were a few uneven aspects to the stay, though. Before detailing those, I'll say that the hosts were extremely responsive to each inquiry and did all they could to make our stay pleasant. We'd certainly return. That said, there are a few areas that can be addressed to make it a 5 star property. 1. The checkin process described did not work. They gave us a code to use on a keypad, but this did not work. After a phone call and some efforts, physical keys were provided that we used. 2. The upstairs fireplace was not operational. Given some cold evenings, this would have been very nice to have. 3. The hot water heater couldn't keep up. One morning, we had 1 person through the shower and then 2 more were going into the bath and shower simultaneously and the hot water ran out. It rejuvenated after about 30 minutes, but for a big house, it would be ideal to have enough capacity for everyone to shower. 4. The front door could only be opened with a key -- even from the inside! This is dangerous in the case of an emergency. 5. There was a musty smell. 6. Blinds on east-facing windows would be nice

Great lakeside getaway
A couple hiccups but it didn't ruin the visit. While I felt the issues shouldn't have happened given the high end rental I chose, the property manager was responsive and that makes a great difference. Would definitely go back with a slightly larger group.

Perfect for families
We were here with our daughters and their families. We loved the spacious layout of the home and it was beautifully decorated! The views of Lake Michigan were priceless! Pleasantly surprised that the kitchen was so fully stocked - everything we needed was there! We appreciated the private, quiet location and the drive into Holland was quick and easy. Would definitely recommend staying here! We would love to come back.
