The photos of this home do not do it justice - it was PERFECT for my family of 4. My kids enjoyed driving the golf cart to the beach, though it's a very quick walk. We loved looking at the stars from the deck that looks out into the ocean. The owner even left us a bottle of wine when I told her that it was our anniversary.

Piece of heaven on Lake Michigan! Our first time visiting the area and we are in love! The house was perfect & the views from the deck are STUNNING! Our favorite part of each day was relaxing on the deck, taking in the views and the sweet sound of the waves. The house was very cozy & clean. Neighborhood was lovely & felt very safe. Golf cart was a great addition for a leisurely spin around the neighborhood after dinner. Kaye, the owner is very sweet and so welcoming, as were the neighbors. We cannot wait to return!

Lovely cottage on the lake

We have family in the area and needed a quick and easy place for extra bedrooms, for Easter weekend. Honestly, we did not spend much time other than sleeping, but it was clean and lovely. Gorgeous view. Kitchen seemed well-appointed. Updated beautiful bathroom. I would love to return for a longer stay!

This is a beautiful property that had everything we needed to have a very relaxing getaway! The views are spectacular and the host is very accommodating, helpful, and friendly. The beds are comfortable, linens are nice, and the pictures don’t really even do it justice! The rooms are larger than they look. We had a lovely time!!

Great view - relaxing and close

This is the second time we have stayed at the property. We spent one whole day just listening to the waves and enjoying the the day. While somewhat cool we were happy to see some boats on the water and enjoyed the day.

Grand Beach Paradise

I honestly can't say enough about this property. The views are just incredible! Our family tooled around the charming neighborhood in the property's golf cart, and enjoyed all of the amenities including the private beach, golf course, and hard-packed ice cream at the Pro Shop. We also ventured out to New Buffalo's restaurants and shops which are about a 6 minute drive from Grand Beach. Everyone was very friendly, and the property owner, Kaye, was a wonderful host, answering all of our questions and making sure we had everything we needed. We hope to visit again soon!

Great place and the best view.... particularly sunset

This is the third time we have stayed here. My wife and I look for smaller properties that have something unique. This fits the bill. Staying right on Lake Michigan is the best and we spend at least one day on the deck...hearing the waves and watching the boaters go by.

Lake Michigan Paradise

Not even sure where to begin. My wife and three kids absolutely loved this place, from the lake views on the deck outside to the charm, comfort, and cleanliness inside. Kay, the owner, greeted us as we arrived and made sure we had all the needed info for the week. She was always available to answer questions we had. The little Grand Beach community is gorgeous and has its own private beach. The golf cart was a huge bonus and allowed us to take a 60 second ride to the beach with kids in tow. The property was fully equipped with everything we needed including kitchen utensils, beach chairs, and towels. The fireplace was an incredible bonus. We can’t wait to go back.

This was our second time at this property and it was perfect. We spent, most of our time on the deck, watching the water and reading. The house is well equipped with anything that you might need. Kaye is available if you need anything, but otherwise, is unobtrusive. We plan to go back next summer.
