Luxurious 6 Bedroom Estate With Private Beach

My family of 6 along with my parents, sister’s family of 5, and my brother all stayed in this house. It was absolutely beautiful! There was a ton of room (we had plenty of room for more). It was perfect for all age groups. It’s situated at the end of a beautiful private 2 mile stretch of road right off of Lake Michigan. There’s essentially no traffic, so we didn’t have to worry about the kids riding their bikes towards the end of the drive way or crossing the street.

The bedrooms are spacious and beautifully decorated. Almost each bedroom has a full bath attached to it. The bunk room towards the back of the house is perfect for older kids and teenagers. My teenage stepchildren loved the “apartment” feel to the room. It’s perfect for the kids to hang out in and watch movies and play board games late into the night.

The kitchen is huge and perfect for entertaining. We made good use of all the high end appliances too. The 2 sets of washer and dryers and 2 dishwashers were ideal for our big group.

We watched the sunset off of the lake every night. My older parents couldn’t walk all the stairs down to the beach but there were plenty of benches just a few steps down that they used all the time. Also, the view right from the house was gorgeous enough.

The water is high on the beach right now, but there was still a sandy area for the kids to play on and throw rocks into the water. They absolutely loved this! Also, there is a kayak and a couple beach supplies that you have access to if you rent the house.

We often went into Saugatuck which was only about a 10-15 minute drive from the home. We occasionally ate out here or got ice cream with the kids. We bought a couple groceries here, but if you’re planning on cooking a lot at the house I would recommend a Costco run before you get to the house. We did all our major meat buying at Costco before we came and bought the smaller things in town. It worked out perfectly. Lake vista SuperValu grocery store in Douglas is very close and has pretty much all you need.

We made some great memories on this vacation! This house was perfect for all ages. We highly recommend it and look forward to renting it again!

We enjoyed a wonderful family vacation with our three daughters, their spouses and our grandchildren (ages one to ten). The house was excellent with great amenities. Our group of 12 fit very easily into the house with plenty of space for everyone. The six bedrooms and five full baths were very helpful. My wife and daughters particularly liked the large kitchen and open floor plan.

The location on the lake was beautiful. We were very fortunate that we had great weather and were able to use the lake access every day (this can be a problem with bad weather or high lake levels). The sunsets were wonderful and early morning quiet was enjoyed by all.

Beautiful home. Very well kept and lots of space. Great yard for family croquet! Beautiful view!!! Great fire place!

My family of 7 adults had a great weekend at this private, luxury Lake MI waterfront home.

Pros: spacious, location on a deadend private drive very quiet. The appliances are top shelf. Beds are extremely comfortable. Plenty of towels, beach towels, toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher soap, soap, shampoo for our 5 day stay. Furnishings and bathrooms were beautiful. Lots of plates, coffee cups and wine glasses. Awesome expresso machine! Great Sonos sound system Each bedroom had their own bathroom. Very convenient!

Cons: a plethora of fruit flys in kitchen. gross!! Spent our entire 5 days trying to get rid of them. No paper plates, cups or napkins. Kitchen could use a few more serving dishes & bowls. Lack of outdoor chairs to go around fire pit in front of house made it impossible to use that fire pit

So we used the outdoor fireplace in the back.

Several broken beach chairs . The size of the TV in main living area , extremely small for that space. TV in kitchen did not work

No garage door opener. So in order to utilize the garage, we had to get out of car go in the house and open garage door. We just gave up on that and didn't use garage. BBQ was dirty and tank almost empty . Wifi very weak.

All in all, the good outweighed the bad. It was just a little disappointing due the high rental charge, that you would expect the home to have no worries.

We did address our issues with The home manager. Some things she helped with, others she didn't.

We would stay here again, hopefully these minor and very easily fixed issues will be addressed.

The home is well-maintained and well-equipped, and more impressive in-person than in the photographs (which is rare). While there were a few minor items we'd request be addressed (i.e the home needs dimmers on many of the interior lights. I realize that sounds as if I'm nitpicking, but it would add immensely to the ambience if you plan to spend a good amount of time in the home after dark). With that said, we'd reserve this home again as it delivered at this price point.
