About this property

Private Beach Steps to the Lake.

This Union Pier Cottage is a member of The Gordon Beach HomeOwners Assn offering private beach access with a soft Westerly breeze and rising lake water temperatures. Only a 75 minute drive from Chicago and a 90 minute drive from Naperville. This beach front cottage offers the beautiful sunsets of the summer and the clean sandy beaches of Eastern Shore of Lake Michigan. Our 3 bedroom 900 square foot cottage has been the owners weekend getaway since 1991. Situated on 5/8 of an acre this heavily shaded property offers open space of lawn to play baseball or croquet, or rest on the front deck, drink a cold lemonade and enjoy the warm lakefront breeze. The stairs to the beach are fifty feet away where you can situate yourself on the expansive private beach area (patrolled on weekends to keep strangers off) or sit on the public community beach. The private beach is an association beach shared by Gordon Beach Homeowner’s and their guests. The second floor has a built in Queen size bed and custom bunk beds with a master suite bathroom and shower. Our beach chairs and umbrellas are always new. We welcome the privilege of hosting your family or group. We are a dog friendly unit and our private beach has limited hours of dog access daily.

About the host

Hosted by Summer McCall

Host profile image
We currently live ,in Chicago and Union Pier is a great short trip to escape all of the weekend festivals, and leave the hustle and the bustle behind. We spend all day at the beach building sand castles and sand sculptures and getting knocked down in the water by the strong waves when the wind is blowing.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. This was the closest that I could get to the beach with out purchasing a lakefront property. We couldn't be happier listening to the waves from the Lake all night with the windows open and able to walk out to the beach every morning. When the heat and humidity rise, we crank out the central air conditioning.

What makes this property unique

I had no idea how important access to a deeded private beach would be as I purchased the cottage in the middle of January. If you want to have a piece of privacy then this is your rental. We are strategically located at the public beach access with access to our private beach. If you care to walk down Lake View Avenue, the private beach access stairs are much wider and less crowded. The Private Beach Stairs are 3 houses down true street, still conveniently situated. You can leave all of your beach chairs and umbrellas and stuff at the beach, and come upstairs to have a lunch or take a quick nap. There is no need to move all of your beach chairs until either sunset or after you enjoy your beach side campfire and show your children how to make s'mores.
