Located south of South Haven and north of St. Joseph, Sunnier Daze Along Lake Michigan provides a gorgeous backdrop for creating beach memories with your family. With 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms you will enjoy the comfortable space between the lake houses on this sandy beachfront home, Wi-Fi, TV, full kitchen and both a ping-pong and a pool table. The veranda overlooking Lake Michigan is a dreamy spot to watch the sunset.
Topping out at 4815 sq. ft. Sunnier Daze Along Lake Michigan comes equipped with full kitchen, including a dishwasher, large windows, with both upstairs and downstairs outside sitting areas. There is plenty of space next to the lake house for playing catch, a family volleyball or badminton game (bring your own equipment) or kickball.
While there is space between the lake houses, we adhere to a good neighbor policy and expect our guests to stay on the property directly in front of the Sunnier Daze Along Lake Michigan lake house. While you may walk the beach in either direction, please lounge and gather with your family/friends on the property itself.

Everything was great with our stay. House was spacious and comfortable and had everything we wanted/needed. The beach, access and views also great. The management team was very responsive and helpful for the couple items that came up. Completely happy with our experience. Only complaint would be the thermostat zoning: cold in the main floor bedrooms while warm in the kitchen/dining/living areas.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the home, the beach, and the views, and that our team was able to assist promptly when needed. We also appreciate your feedback about the thermostat , it has since been fixed. You were wonderful guests, and we’d love to host you again! -Van, FVR
We had the best time at Sunnier Daze! We felt as though we had our own private beach every day. We were in close proximity to St. Joseph, South Haven, Holland, and Grand Haven. The house was gorgeous, with an open and inviting floor plan. Everything was immaculate… from sheets and towels to floors and windows. There were gorgeous views from each window, and the stairs to the beach were clean and easy to access. The house was well-stocked with everything you could possibly need and the checkin/checkout process couldn’t have been easier! We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it to others.
