L-U-X on Lake Michigan. Private baths in bedrooms! June & Aug 23-Sept 3 now open
IMPORTANT****The VRBO service fee of 12-15% is now included within my rates. Example: my nightly rate in April of $425/night plus $325 cleaning and $200 linens per stay becomes $625/night for a 3 night stay but when vrbo adds in their fee, it jumps to $708/night for a 3 night stay. If more nights are added, my rate of $625 inclusive stays the same but vrbo will show an even higher rate because they are adding 12-15% for every additional night. Feel free to send me an inquiry if you want further clarification. This is important info to know when comparing properties.

The home was absolutely beautiful and very well appointed. There was so much helpful information provided by the hosts. There was plenty of room to spread out or hang out together. The private beach was incredible and so peaceful. We saw beautiful sunsets, eagles, shooting stars and even the northern lights! This is a must-stay location. We definitely plan to return.

FYI I'm so glad you got to see the northern lights!! We've never been so fortunate.
Plenty of room, great beds, easy to access the beach, beautiful weather, Owner communicative and pleasant - no problems whatsoever. Excellent vacation!!
What a great house, everyone loved the layout and having a bedroom with a bathroom. Plenty of room to roam. Great access to beach and plenty of places to sit to watch the huge waves or sunsets.

We enjoyed our stay with friends. The house was very nice and the location was great. The private beach was very close with just a few stairs. The only issue we had was the amount of fruit flies in the house, left behind by the previous renters.
Excellent lake Michigan property. The pictures do not do it justice! Very well maintained and organized from labeling the drawers to cleanliness of the entire property. We would love to be able to visit again with the whole family next year.

L-U-X on Lake Michigan is a beautiful lake home right on Lake Michigan. It is very clean and comfortable with enough room for our family (6 adults, 3 kids). The kitchen was stocked with most anything you could want to prepare your meals. We loved having a bathroom for each bedroom. The beach was wonderful and the sunsets were outstanding. We truly enjoyed our stay and will be coming back again!!

Thanks Roxanne, for your review of our home and for mentioning ending we like about it as well! See you in 2025!
This place has it all: a gracious lake home, a sandy beach, wonderful views of the Lake Michigan, mature trees for beauty and getting out of the heat, decks for eating or reading or dreaming. The house has plenty of space while feeling cozy and comfortable. Kitchen is designed for cooks and relaxing over a nice meal. The owner is helpful and easily reached. Truly special place.
This property was well-maintained, comfortable, roomy, and immaculate, and had all the extras anyone might need. The best part, of course, was being right on the Lake Michigan beach, great for lake activities, walking on the beach, and spectacular sunsets. It is also close to many of the attractions of northern Michigan. We had one of the best vacations we have ever had, mainly because of the comfort of the environment. Five stars in every area.
This rental is spectacular and very affordable. The 3 levels and privacy for all in the party. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and the main level is a great gathering place. The view of the lake and easy access to it is a key feature. The communication with the owner is excellent. I highly recommend this property for a getaway on Lake Michigan.

Stayed here with a group of 8, accommodations were perfect. Layout of the house provides some privacy. House was very clean and provided all the necessities needed. View of the water was stunning. Owner communicated with me at time of booking, couple of days ahead of time, and was available during our stay if we had any questions. Thank you for having us Eileen

Loved every minute of our stay! The view, and the number of places to view it, were just spectacular. Super clean, easy to find whatever we needed in the kitchen. Sitting on the back porch and beach with a glass of wine was exactly what my friends and I needed. The water was chilly, but some of us went in anyway. The water is sooo clear! We had the best time at Eagle Shores!

Thanks, Betsy! You and your friends are welcome back anytime.
The house is as described in the HomeAway posting. It is perfect for multiple couples with an on suite for all plus an extra half bath. There are a few condiments in the cupboard with all pans needed for cooking. The beach has eroded this year but may change in the future. It was close to mane good golf courses.

Thanks for enjoying the house and it's amenities. I look forward to having your return.
Thank you for understanding about the erosion of beaches along the lake. Unfortunately I don't have any control over mother nature! I can tell you all lakefront owners are looking forward to seeing lake levels drop in 2020 as well as fewer storms coming across the lake. Here's hoping for a hard lake freeze, less rain and not too much snow!!
Thank you for a special time away. The house was beautiful and solid, the lake was a backdrop on one full side, and the waves were the soundtrack. Bathrooms in each bedroom is genius when you are traveling with non-family members, and few people even had to share. The kitchen and great room were exactly what we needed to enjoy time together when restaurants were closed to indoor dining. We will definitely be back, hopefully in the summer!

Thank you for having a good time and then letting me know. You are welcome back anytime!
The owner was great to work with. The place was CLEAN. Really nice, beautiful house. Everything was as they said it would be. Everything worked. We had a great week and so did all of our visitors including our poodle. Only negative for us was the inside stairs. There were a lot of them.
The house was everything I expected and more!! Picture perfect!!
The boxes for cleanliness in bathrooms, kitchens, floors & linen were checked off. No clutter and beautiful decor stood out. Referal notes in the kitchen on where to find things (then put them back!) were extremely helpful...anything needed was found. The bedrooms were terrific! Everyone had a lakeview. We all gathered mostly on the top deck but there were tons of other spaces outside to retreat to if desired. A place I'd surely revisit!!

About the host
Hosted by Eileen
This house was an accident! We had purchased the home next door in 2005 and a family member bought the lot this house sits on. After 2 years and finally getting approvals and permits, they decided to sell and we took over ownership. "Relax on Lake Michigan" is what it's all about! From the beginning we wanted to build the perfect casual yet nicely appointed retreat for ourselves and others.
Why they chose this property
We named our website "Relax on Lake Michigan" because that is what this house is all about! We love Lake Michigan and we love relaxing! We were renters of many Lake Michigan homes for over 18 years before we bought and became stewards of the lake. We love the sounds, the smells, the views and most especially the calm, peaceful feeling of being up north.
What makes this property unique
This home is loved by all because it is surrounded by trees yet directly on the water without a bluff. The details are quality and everyone loves having their own bathroom. It really is the perfect spot to "relax on Lake Michigan"!
