8 Loop Ave, 55 Stickney Ridge, Grand Haven.
This is a four bedrooms, 1 bath, dishwasher, TV and large screened-in porch. The beds consist of 2 fulls and 1 twin and 1 queen. The cottage has been updated however the bedroom walls are left in the traditional old style cottage format as they do not go all the way to the ceiling. We have had many renters request we never change the older style of the upstairs bedrooms. Privacy is more limited in this environment.
