Downtown Historic Grand Haven Duplex - North

Built in 1918, this historic duplex has been beautifully remodeled and cared for. The front porch faces 5th street, and every evening a 20 minute walk takes you to the end of the Grand Haven pier to watch the sunset; your own 'Key West' experience in Michigan. Our home is located in a quaint neighborhood and is just minutes from Lake Michigan beaches, downtown shopping, restaurants and fun! A 10 minute walk takes you to the local YMCA and the area's Imagination Station, tennis & pickleball courts and skate park. The house is perfect for week long vacations, weekend getaways and as a cozy fall or winter retreat. The main floor has an open kitchen to dining room area (13x17) with a separate 13 x 21 living room. Games, beach toys and a table for puzzles is also provided. A half bath is off of the kitchen. Laundry facilities are located in the basement as are the beach toys, chairs, towels and cooler and propane tank for the grill. The house has hardwood floors throughout and 9 foot ceilings. Upstairs you will find three bedrooms, one with a queen bed, one with 2 twin beds, and a small back bedroom with another queen bed and a full bathroom with a tub. The living room on the main floor has a couch, love seat and futon for extra sleeping space. There is off street parking for 2 cars; an outdoor gas grill and a front porch ready for you to watch the world go by. Did we mention this charming place is on the Coast Guard parade route?

Great Location

Great location with the beaches and downtown within a mile. Old, old home but very clean and all the basic essentials. Only thing to take note of is that it's a louder area and a duplex so you hear everything (and I mean everything) from VRBO tenants in the other unit as well as the other local neighborhood homes. Safe area and very walkable to the Grand Haven beach and eateries.

I hope you enjoyed your overall stay. Most often there are no complaints of noise during people’s stay. If the other tenants were loud I apologize. I never have a problem contacting a guest to mention they may be disturbing others. I wish I had known. But thank you very much for your kind review!

Great stay

We had a great stay! The house is close to town, clean, and the beds were comfortable. Only things we wanted and didn’t have was sugar for morning drinks and a toaster. The floors were surprisingly noisy, but we knew that ahead of time and understandable with the age of the home. Also, the neighbors were locals and super friendly.

Close to downtown Grand Haven - Yet far enough away

The house was nice. It gave the two families enough room to be together and yet have some separation when needed (4 kids w/3 under 5). There is only 1 full bath which made coordinated showers for adults. Close walk to downtown and beach. Car can also be used - but we preferred to walk everywhere.

Western Michigan Golf Weekend

Very good. Well located for our golf course selections. Nice walk to town. Minor issues -. Main bedroom bed could be newer. Pillows in middle bedroom too soft (one guest actually went out and bought thicker pillow) Parking area tight and not well kept up
Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 23 Jul 2024
Thank you for your review. I hope your golf game made your weekend enjoyable. I wish you would have let me know of any discomforts. We have different pillows in different rooms (they could have been switched) because everyone has their own preferences. But I was never given the chance to remedy the issue. As far as the parking lot……well yes you got me on that one. Being a golfer I can understand you noticing weeds. I’ll just let you know, your visit happened to fall in between 2 huge events in our family life so yes I let the parking lot get a little weedy and focused on making sure you had a clean home in which to stay.

Enjoyable Getaway!

The Emerald Lady was very clean and the 3 bedrooms easily slept my wife and I and our 3 young children. It’s conveniently located a few blocks from the beach and the downtown shops/restaurants. Because it’s such an old house, the floors and stairs do creak a lot but it was never a big problem for us. We enjoyed our time in Grand Haven at this comfortable and spacious property! JS

Great stay in a charming piece of history

My wife was graduating from her residency program at a local hospital. We had family come from out of state so we decided to stay at this property together. I believe the house was built around 1912, it has a lot of charm and character! The location is great!, you have the lake down the road, great shopping near by and not far from Muskegon or GR. The owner was helpful, great communication and the house has a washer and dryer, full kitchen and a great front porch to watch and enjoy the neighborhood.

Grand Haven Family Getaway

This old house was beautiful and comfortable!! Very friendly host :) Creaky floors and lots of historic charm!! Modern kitchen and bathrooms, short 10 minute walk to restaurants and bars. Parking is a little tight so be careful if you have a big truck. Otherwise you should be fine. Mattresses and pillows could be upgraded, but weren’t terrible. We were very happy and comfortable for our long weekend away!

Girls’ getaway

This beach cottage was the perfect getaway. We will definitely be back for another girls’ weekend…or maybe we’ll bring the boys for a family staycation. Jamie was there to greet us upon our arrival and made us feel like it was our home for the days we were there. We were bummed to leave. It’s easily within walking distance of downtown GH. We enjoyed the charm of the neighborhood as we strolled down the sidewalks to get to Snug Harbor, The Paisley Pig, and Aldea Coffee. Also be sure to sit on the front porch and wave to passersby!

Cute house and good location

Very cute historic home with nice renovations and character. I pretty much lived on the covered front porch when we weren’t out exploring the area. Easy walk to the downtown for food/shopping. Adorable neighborhood-felt totally safe letting my teens explore the town on their own. Just a few minutes to drive to the beach. Loved my morning walks along the boardwalk to the lighthouse too. Jamie is a great host and when we got locked out (yes-really so embarrassing!) she was quick to respond and sent us help to get in the house quickly. We cannot wait to return to GH and would not hesitate to book this rental again.

Perfect Girls Retreat

We were able to stay at this adorable property for a much needed girl's weekend. The space was absolutely perfect, plenty of room for people to sleep and we loved how the kitchen opened up into the dining room, that opened to the living room. We could all be in different rooms, but still be spending time together. Not to mention the most perfect porch. We spent each evening on the front porch, wine in hand, just catching up. If there was anything better than the space, it was the location. We were able to walk to and from dinner, wine tasting and anything else we did downtown. If we couldn't find something downtown, then it was just a very short drive. We loved our stay and would absolutely stay again!
