Classic Lake Michigan cottage across from Grand Haven State Beach!

The Beach House is the quintessential Lake Michigan destination cottage. It sits upon a low bluff hill overlooking Grand Haven State Park and Lake Michigan and is your own private getaway that is also located right in the middle of the action.

Location, location, location. That cliche rings true with this private home which sits directly across the street from Grand Haven State Park. It is located upon a small hill giving incredible panoramic views of Lake Michigan, the park, the pier, lighthouse, channel, and more! Located just down the boardwalk from Downtown, it's also an easy walk into town to visit the many restaurants, shops, and attractions.

Relax on the deck or the private terraced patio, and enjoy the views, or relax in the home itself with those same views visible from the kitchen and the living room.

INSIDE THE HOUSE

The home has two bedrooms and one bathroom, a fully stocked kitchen, and a comfortable and spacious living room with huge windows facing towards the lake and state park beach. There is an attached one stall garage which is perfect for storing bikes, beach chairs, toys, and can fit one vehicle.

SLEEPING

The cottage sleeps 4 people, 2 in each of the bedrooms.

EATING

The dining room table in the kitchen is the ideal spot for a meal with a view!

THE LOCATION

The home sits directly across from Grand Haven State Park with unobstructed views and quick and easy access to all that Grand Haven has to offer.

Pictures are deceiving
This place needs a huge investment. It looks decent in the photos but when you get there, the place is a big disappointment. The driveway is extremely steep and hard to maneuver. The outdoor area is overgrown with weeds and the steps and walkway are dangerous. Upon entering, it smells like air fresheners which are placed throughout the unit. The window tracks and blinds were filthy, no central AC just an old window AC (with a “change filter” light lit up) and two plug-in AC units. A box fan was so filthy it looked brown. The shower had tiles coming off the walls. One bedroom has ceiling tiles that look like they were about to fall. The location was close to town but it was hard to back out the steep drive into a curving road where you can’t see oncoming traffic. The management company was responsive and had someone come in to clean the windows and blinds and provide a hepa air filter. VRBO should have inspections and higher standards before placing a property on their site. Definitely would not stay here again.

Great location.
Location to Grand Haven State Beach is perfect. The outside steps, deck and other areas could use some attention. The steps are crooked/broken/tilted. Wouldn’t be ideal if someone had walking issues. Our kids even tripped and fell down a couple times. Garage space could definitely be cleaner. Shower needs updated.

Beautiful location, needs updates
Beautiful location! We walked to the beach each day with our boys. I’m giving it 3 stars because the window unit a/c did not keep the house cool. Management was prompt to assist find a solution. The deck would’ve been great to enjoy, but the railing was not up to code. Our one year old could easily fit through the railings so it was not safe for us to enjoy. Outdated, but clean. If it’s just my husband and I, it would’ve been better for us personally!

Great location!
This was the perfect spot for our family of 4. Right across from the beach with amazing views of the sunset each night. Small house but has everything you need! Nicely decorated and plenty of storage. Property manager was very prompt and helpful when we had an issue with the door lock! Would definitely recommend and stay again!

We had a nice mini vacation. Beautiful view of the State Park and wonderful Lake Michigan.
The view is hard to beat. The property was decorated beautifully. Nice size bedrooms. Nice deck and fire pit down the hill a bit. Some of the obstacles we had were.... the toilet was not working correctly. Thought it was fixed by maintenance but on the last morning it started to act up again. The driveway was very steep. The outside steps were hard to manage when taking in luggage and supplies.

Lovely view
The cottage was comfortable and had a great view. Bed was too soft. Toilet did not flush properly and was a nuisance. If they had left a garage door opener it would have been very helpful since only flat place to park is in garage. The driveway is all up hill then you have to walk up steps to unlock door on side of house then walk down basement stairs to go in garage to open garage door. Then back up steps. Lot of steps - not for us.

Perfect location
The location of this property was excellent. Right across from the beach with walking distance to downtown! The place itself was clean but we had numerous fruit flies. There was an odor downstairs when we realized there were several garbage bags ( with one ripped open) in the garage. This was the cause of the smell and bugs. The large screen door was also completely ripped making it impossible to enjoy the breeze off the lake as we had to keep the glass door closed.
