If there ever was PERFECTION in a Michigan Summer Getaway, this is probably it!!!! Enjoy nature’s simplicity at this wonderful Lake Michigan hideaway. Like flying to the perfect Hawaii getaway, but without the Jet Lag!
The Beach is PRISTINE, SUGAR SAND, AND PRIVATE. There are NO rocks, bluffs, or drop-offs, just gentle dunes, the Western Sunsets directly into the water, and Lake Michigan's splendor.
A gorgeous view looking to North Manitou, South Fox, and North Fox islands. It's like looking at the Hawaiian Islands in the distance. The house is designed as a Hawaii/California modern with an open floor plan. It features a vaulted ceiling with open beams, and beautiful rich redwood paneling, furnished and decorated by a local designer. Lots of privacy, three bedrooms have their OWN ATTACHED FULL BATHROOMS. There is decking all around, with a huge deck in back which faces beautiful large sand dunes to the east. (Good for shady afternoon dinners!).
Sunsets over Lake Michigan are DRAMATIC. Every night is unique! When nightfall comes, the sky is filled with thousands of stars. The CRYSTAL CLEAR SKYS make the stars and Milky Way LEAP OUT OF THE SKY. See satellites, shooting stars, comets and the Northern Lights. There's NO city sounds, only a blanketing, comfortable silence, and the rhythmic sound of Lake Michigan's heartbeat. Ahhhhhhhh.......
