Private Beachfront Retreat on Lake Michigan

Unwind and recharge at Sand Drift Cottage. This 1940’s classic Lake Michigan beachfront cottage has the most breathtaking views. It is nestled on a private tree-lined road surrounded by nature, yet centrally located between Saugatuck/Douglas and South Haven. It’s a perfect beach escape for a couple's vacation, weekend with girlfriends or quality time with family. This Southwest Michigan area has all the charm with some of the best wineries/breweries, beaches, art galleries, adorable boutiques and amazing dining.

Wake up to the sound of the waves and relax on the deck overlooking the water. Take a walk down to the private beach where you can go for a swim or stroll the shoreline. Beach bums will be set with beach chairs, outdoor games and other beach necessities.

At night, be sure to gather around the fire pit and take time to watch an unforgettable sunset or do some stargazing.

Andy and Colleen are from a Northwest suburb of Chicago. They have been married for 20 years and have two daughters. They spent a lot of their childhood enjoying lake time and wanted to give those same experiences to their children too. They fell in love with the charm of this cozy cottage and its location to a few of their favorite Michigan towns. It has been a perfect escape for their family and they wanted to be able to share it with others too.

Why they chose this property

This is a quiet gravel road surrounded by woods. It has seen many generations of families. You won’t see cars flying by and can safely take a walk or bike ride along the road.

What makes this property unique
