There is something for every member of the family. Private beach access. Listen to the waves right outside the windows as you rest comfortably in the Master Bedroom. The stairs go straight to the water! Relax with family and friends, while you make unforgettable memories. Large comfortable patio furniture on the deck. Hanging hammock chairs facing the lake. Sunbathe on the deck with your favorite drink, or watch the stars at night, keeping warm by the fire pit as the kids make s'mores. The kids can climb the sand dunes down the road for some fun and exercise. Closed-in giant sandbox with toys for kids. Enjoy the kayaks, paddleboards, and paddleboat on the big lake. Take long walks down the beautiful community beach road. Movie theatre, shopping and Michigan's Adventure is only minutes away.
