About this property

Beach across 1 Street! Location at it's finest!

Enjoy it all...a super clean, relaxing and enjoyable home that is only 1 street away from the beach! Treasure your time with making memories in a quiet neighborhood that is surrounded by vacation amenities. Cross one street and you will be at the City Beach known as Stearns Park. Mini Golf, concessions, volleyball nets, pier, and light house, along with a skate park and playground encompass the beach area.

5 walking blocks away is the downtown area which is known for shopping, restaurants (Indulge at House of Flavors Ice cream shop and restaurant- famous for countless flavors and smiles), Sand Castle Children's Museum, Library, Bike Shop & Rentals, Marina & Playground.

All aboard...Cruise Lake Michigan S.S. Badger Carferry from Ludington to Wisconsin daily. Go for the afternoon or overnight. Some travelers bring their vehicle on the carferry while others step on board. Conveniently located only a couple blocks from downtown, all within walking distance of this rental.


Relax indoors or out in this well kept 4 bedroom home. Peek a boo views of Lake Michigan from the kitchen, downstairs and upstairs west bedrooms. 2 bedrooms on the main level and 2 upstairs. Fresh linens provided for use in the home. Listen to the waves sitting in the yard or view the majestic sunsets. Cross the street to go fishing and savor a late night dinner on the grill!

Guests you will love the size of this yard! A lot of properties do not offer the size and layout of this entertaining sized yard especially with trees and open sunny space. It is hard to believe your in the city. Cool and comfortable in the shade part of the yard and sunny and bright in the other part of the yard. Regardless of where you are enjoying it there is plenty of room to sit and play! Relax on the patio that has spring chairs (like rockers) or sit in the adirondack chairs while roasting marshmallows otherwise, sit near the back door for a shaded conversation or perhaps in front of the house to watch the deer across the street (they do visit our yard too).

If you are Flying into Michigan here are a few options nearby:

1. Grand Rapids Airport (GRR) : This is located in Grand Rapids, MI It is about 1.5 hours
south of Ludington. This airport offers the most options for flights.

2. Muskegon Airport: This is located in Muskegon, MI. It is about 45 minutes south of Ludington. Their are less flight options but is is closer.

3. Traverse City Airport: Located in Traverse City, MI. It is about 1.5 hours North of Ludington.

4. Coming from Chicago? Amtrak train will depart from Chicago and stop in Grand Rapids, MI and Holland, MI. Both cities offer Budget and Hertz Car Rentals. Regardless of which city you depart from it is about 1.5 hour travel time to Ludington via car. Holland Amtrak station unloads passengers downtown Holland which is an award winning downtown community. It is landscaped with beautiful flowers, free standing brick fire pits, great shopping, an array of clean restaurants, and a splash pad for the kids! This opportunity to travel via Amtrak would allow you to stretch out visit the downtown area and check in at 4:00 or after.
