Welcome to The House Next Door, your perfect vacation retreat in Holland, Michigan! This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home spans 1,873 square feet and is designed to accommodate up to 8 guests comfortably. Situated in the historic Holland Heights neighborhood, The House Next Door offers a full turn-key rental experience with all the amenities of home.

Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by the spacious bi-level layout and thoughtful touches throughout the house. The upstairs bedrooms feature queen-sized beds, providing a cozy retreat for a good night's sleep. Downstairs, the bedroom is equipped with two double (full-size beds), supplemented by four twin-sized floor memory foam mattresses in the closet and a twin-sized futon in the bonus room, along with a pack-and-play for families traveling with young children. Bedside steps are available in the bedroom closets to ensure safe and easy access to the beds.

The heart of the home is the kitchen, complete with brand-new stainless steel appliances including a coffee maker that brews up to 14 cups, a large blender, and all the necessary cooking utensils, pots, pans, and dinnerware you might need. Local seasonal coffee and Starbucks decaf are stocked, along with an assortment of creamers, sweeteners, and teas for your enjoyment.

For dining and entertainment, gather around the expandable dining table in the kitchen area, complemented by three stools at the breakfast bar for additional seating. An extra dining table with seating for four (4) is located in the lower living area, perfect for meals or game nights with provided tabletop games.

The bathrooms are stocked with freshly washed white towels, makeup removal cloths, and essential toiletries. Both bathrooms offer a hair dryer. Below the sink in the upstairs bathroom guests will find a bottle of bubble bath for a soothing soak. In the laundry room, you'll find free & clear detergents, dryer sheets, and distilled vinegar for washing clothes. An iron, ironing board, and a handheld electric clothes steamer are available as well.

Stay connected with high-speed wireless internet and enjoy entertainment on smart TVs in each living room and bedroom, with complimentary Netflix for your viewing pleasure. Guests may log into their own streaming services, but THND is not responsible for logging off these accounts upon guest departure. Guest security is important to us, with a driveway security camera (mounted to the owner's residence next door) and wireless or electronic locks on all entry points for your peace of mind.

Safety is a top priority at The House Next Door. Our front entrance does have steps. The step into the house is clearly marked, both interior stairways have strong handrails, and grip treads are present on steps inside the home.

Step outside to enjoy the spacious front yard and fully fenced-in backyard, complete with a newly constructed shaded deck perfect for relaxing with a book or dining with your group. Deck furniture includes a four-person table with an umbrella and two zero-gravity chairs for ultimate comfort. Fire up the Weber Genesis II propane grill and savor a delicious barbecue meal with your loved ones in the privacy of your own backyard.

About the host

Hosted by James Fontaine

Host profile image
Hello!

My name is James and I'm your host! The House Next Door got its name because we live full-time one door away! I am married to Danielle, dad to a beautiful little girl, and dad to a long-haired Weimaraner named Buddy. I am an avid foodie, adventurer, outdoorsman, and traveler.

I attended college at Ferris State University earning a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering and a Master's Degree in Business Administration with advanced certifications in Design and Innovation Management from Kendall College of Art and Design. During my career, I've had the privilege to work for large technology companies in the automotive, information technology, and petroleum industries in varying roles from Process Engineering to System Administrator. I am also a professional bicycle mechanic, still working for the same shop since 2005!

We are very customer service-oriented and are excited for the opportunity to be your host!

Why they chose this property

Our location couldn't be better within Holland and we are lucky enough to own our neighboring house to rent! We get to be immediately available for our guests during their stays to offer support, correct any issues that may come up, and best maintain our rental.

What makes this property unique

To us, The House Next Door isn't a luxury stay. We aren't trying to create that type of space. We intend to create a space that is safe and satisfying while feeling "just like home". The house offers a fenced-in backyard for small children to be safely watched by parents while they lounge, grill, and gather on the upper deck. There is a 4-acre field in the back yard, owned by the adjacent church, where guests can have more space for outdoor activities.

James is a professional bicycle mechanic and can provide parts, service, and rentals during your stay!
