Absolutely love the Grand Beach neighborhood! We were there for a fall family gathering and we were just two small blacks over from them. Played family golf twice as well as pickle ball! House was just what we needed and just a few min walk to the Grand Beach pier and beach area. There seemed to be quite a bit of beach equipment available however we do not use any of it. Kitchen was well stocked with items you always wished you had at a vacation property such as oil and vinegar, spices and herbs, coffee and filters, cling wrap and foil. We hope this will become an annual trip for us and we will definitely stay here in the future!

A Perfect Summer Getaway

We had the BEST time at this property with our two little ones (ages 4 and 1)! It could not have been more perfect. We are already counting down the days until we can go back again next summer. The home was so comfortable and well-equipped with everything we needed. The beach was a quick walk (about 5 minutes while pulling a wagon) and the neighborhood was so friendly and perfect for strolls with the kids. The most wonderful property for a summer getaway and beautiful family memories!!

Five Star Stay!

Wow! A little slice of paradise in Grand Beach MI. We can’t say enough wonderful things. Gina, to start, was a wonderful and insanely responsive host. The home was clean, well stocked with the basic items you need, and had the perfect set up overall. Grill, pool, fire pit, and large living space - 10/10. A one minute walk to the beach made for amazing walks at night, and Gina helped set us up with a bonfire permit. We wish we could have stayed for much longer than we did. Our group had 4 adults and 5 kids and we loved our time together. Thank you!

Fantastic Grand Beach home with a pool

Our family had a fantastic long weekend at this Grand Beach home with a pool. The house was very roomy and well equipped. A wonderfully equipped kitchen to cook and converse with our family encourages the togetherness for everyone. There is a large dining table and plenty of seating for everyone. All the bedrooms were large and had very nice bed linens. The bathrooms are new and very nicely done. The pool area was also clean and lots of chair options- lounge/ sun chairs, umbrella table and couch area. Only a short walk to the beach was a bonus for our nightly sunset watch party. We will definitely be back for another visit.
