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 sunset and dunes getaway, but without the jet lag!
Note: Most renters are repeat, so if you are a new renter, book early for your favorite week!
The house was decorator updated this year! The Beach is PRISTINE, SUGAR SAND, AND PRIVATE. Just gentle dunes, the western sun sets directly into the water. It's Lake Michigan's splendor at its finest.
A gorgeous view looking across the bay to the distant islands. The house is custom designed as a California modern with an open floor plan with monster windows offering a breathtaking view. There's a vaulted ceiling great room with open beams, and beautiful rich redwood paneling, furnished and decorated by a local designer. Lots of privacy, three bedrooms have their own full baths, and the two upper bedrooms offer gorgeous views of Lake Michigan right from the bed. There's a huge deck in front and in back, front facing directly west into the sunset and back faces beautiful large sand dunes to the east. (Good for shady evening 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. There's NO city sounds, only a blanketing, comfortable silence, and the rhythmic sound of Lake Michigan's heartbeat. Ahhhhhhhh.......

The Unique Benefits at this Home
Sunsets over Lake Michigan are DRAMATIC. 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.......
