Private Beach Rights on Lake Michigan - Short Stroll to most beautiful beach
SATURDAY-SATURDAY in Summer Private Beach rights in Gowdy Shores on Lake Michigan. Location on VRBO is incorrect. You do not need to use the crowded public Townline Beach; our home has private association beach rights. It is about a 4-5 minute walk or a 2 minute bike ride with the bikes we provide. The first floor features an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, skylights and hardwood floors. There is a living room with stone fireplace, dining room that seats ten and a kitchen with granite counter tops that seats four. The first floor also has a large screened-in porch that leads to the backyard stone patio, fire pit, grill and sand volleyball court. Two bedrooms (one with queen size bed and access to the porch and one with bunk beds with trundle), one full bathroom (shower) and one half bath with pedestal sink are also located on the first floor. There is also a washer/dryer. (see below for 2nd floor description.)
Second floor: The second floor consists of a large secluded bedroom with a queen size bed, a daybed with trundle and an attached full bath(shower). Both bed and bath have skylights. The private balcony off the bedroom overlooks the tree filled backyard/patio/fire-pit/volleyball court of the property and is perfect for morning coffee.
Thick bath towels, memory foam topped beds with high thread count sheets and brand new bedding are also provided.
This three bedroom two and a half bath home comfortably sleeps 9. Additionally, there are 2 pack& plays with sheets for infants. It is perfect for one or even two small families and is very kid friendly (complete with sand volleyball court). It is also perfect for a romantic getaway or a girls weekend. The setting is peaceful on this wooded lot on a quiet century old tree lined road that leads straight to the beach. The local bakery, deli, gelato shop, restaurants and grocer are within walking or biking distance. Use the bicycles provided it will take about 4 minutes.
We have tried to think of everything to make your stay extra special and comfortable and your packing to be as easy as possible. All you need is your bathing suit and food - we will provide the rest including beach chairs, beach towels, umbrella, cooler with wheels, bicycles, wagon and beach toys.
If staying during the fall/winter months enjoy great nature walks right outside the front door or through Warren Woods. Both are great places to go cross country skiing. You can also sled down Warren Dunes or down hill ski at one of the many Michigan ski resorts approximately one hour away. If you don't feel like going anywhere, enjoy the wood burning fireplace in the living room and snuggle in bed under the down filled comforters provided.

Why they chose this property
Our neighborhood feels like you have stepped back to a simpler time. It is so peaceful and the century year old trees that shade the short walk to the lake make it magical. The beach has the softest sand and the best sunsets anywhere. The little local shops and the farmers market nearby are quaint and convenient. It is a place to walk or ride one of our bikes where everyone is so friendly.
