This is an amazing home with a great beach! The beach has a sandbar just off of the shore so even the smallest of kiddos could play safely. My family loved the art and personal touches in the home. The outdoor space was absolutely magical as well.

The outdoor spaces are amazing. We enjoyed eating outside and our children had lots of places to play. The beach access was so convenient and very private. The inside of the house needs a little updating and we would have appreciated locks on the bathroom doors. The hosts were very helpful and we really enjoyed our family art lesson.

Awesome family lake vacation!
The property is huge and has tons of space for fun and activities. We booked this as our family vacation and let all 3 kids bring friends! There was plenty of room and tons to do. The kids loved the paddle boards and kayaks. We all loved the pizza oven and outdoor movie theater. The hosts gave instructions for both and they were easy to use! It was a great vacation space with private lake access. House is equipped with everything you need and has fabulous views of the lake!

Easiest review I’ve ever done. We miss it already. We have been on many upscale beach trips and this one is tops. We were 4 adult couples but would be great for kids too!We LOVED our week with Wendy, John and Pinky (sweetest cavalier doggie)The view is beyond description. The beach amenities are awesome.The pizza oven and outdoor dining and living areas are wonderful. The kitchen is great!The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. The drive to S Haven is very convenient and the town is great— icecream, shopping, dining— easy! Also easy drive to Saugatuck— a MUST!We did the cruise on the replica 1800s tall ship— fantastic! We did Wendy’s art lesson— so fun. This is a special place and very special people own it. We really hope and plan to be back!!

My family (six adults and two dogs) had an absolutely wonderful time here at Sandcastle. The home is exquisite, comfortable, and exceeded our expectations. South Haven is just minutes away. We look forward to returning to Sandcastle.

Amazing property, amazing views
What a special property! When you have views and lake access like this it’s hard to want anything more, but the amenities (so many bikes!), the grounds, the pizza oven and the amazing owners take this to the next level - thank you Wendy and John!
Clean, well-stocked kitchen and plenty of room for our 8 adults and 2 dogs. Also close to a bike path that connects to South Haven on one side and the dunes in another direction.

The views were breathtaking, the home was perfect for our family and pets. We spent many hours outdoors around the campfires, cooking in the wonderful kitchen and enjoying the very impressive artwork of John’s and Wendy’s throughout the home. The pizza oven was such a treat too! Would love to return again!!

Wonderful family gathering!
What an amazing property! My sister, brother and parents all stayed with our families! The house and property are magical. Lots of fun things to do outside. The kitchen was well stocked and we loved trying the pizza oven. Wendy and John were amazing hosts and even gave an art lesson which was a huge hit.
We stayed in October for a long weekend and hope to come back during the summer to enjoy the beach more!
Highly recommend!

Awesome place for a family!
We loved our stay at Sandcastle! We had four generations staying at the house, ranging in ages from 3 to 94, and it was a fantastic place with lots of activities, both indoors and outdoors for the kids. The private beach was amazing, and a new staircase from the property to the beach made it easy to use. There are lots of places to sit and enjoy the view of the lake. Our 6 and 11 year old granddaughters wanted to live there! The owner, Wendy, gave two of the kids drawing lessons, and she couldn't have been nicer. It is a very secluded place with tons of activities for kids. If you want nature and isolation along with a great adventure for everyone, Sandcastle is the place to go!

Great for a crowd!
This place is even better than it looks in the listing. Wendy is committed to her guests having a great stay, and we did. Being right on the beach is amazing, with so many place to gaze at the lake. The beach is clean and large enough for more than 10. The yard has so many activities for all ages—we had some cool weather, but were outdoors a lot. The house is full of art, toys, craft materials, large places to gather, and the most well-stocked kitchen I’ve ever seen in a rental—cookware, utensils, herbs and spices—we lacked for nothing. There’s even an herb garden we were encouraged to use. I highly recommend this beach house if you want to have fun.

Wonderful hosts and very special property
Our family (ages 4 to 76) spent July 14-20 at this special property. Everything was even better than the photos. The home is filled with Wendy’s beautiful artwork. Our 10-year-old granddaughter said she wished she could live there forever. Wendy and John went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and accommodate our needs. They even purchased a cushioned deck chair so our oldest family member would be more comfortable. Wendy’s drawing lessons were a big hit, especially with our 7-year-old grandsons. Our grandkids enjoyed hammocks, playground and basketball court. The beach was beautiful and the sunsets were amazing. South Haven is a short drive away ( less than 10 minutes to a big grocery store). John helped us with the outdoor pizza oven and Wendy provided a recipe for pizza dough. Perfect meal for our last evening at the Sandcastle. Wonderful memories.

Fantasyland with a Beach!
If we could give 6 stars, we would! the property is like having a resort all to yourself. The house was awesome, and had so much character thanks to the personal artistic touches in every room. Big and spacious, yet very cozy and warm. The beach is fantastic, and we really lucked out wit 4 straight days of sun and warmth late in September. Even the lake was plenty warm for swimming and Frisbee tossing.
But, perhaps the best part was the hosts. The Halperins are truly the kind of people you feel enriched after meeting. Not only are they two of the nicest people you'll ever meet, they are also very interesting to chat with. Without question, we will return!

Magical vacation
We stayed a week with our children and grandchildren to celebrate our 60th anniversary. The house was so well equipped with all the kitchen appliances, dishes, glassware and paper supplies that we needed. There were so many activities for the kids to enjoy and the adults certainly made use of the many hammocks. Our week was magical in this whimsical place. There was a sturdy, easy to climb stairway to a fabulous beach where all week we only saw only 3 other people. The hosts, Wendy and John could not have been more welcoming. We had no problems and enjoyed every day spent on the park like, sculpture filled grounds. Wendy even gave our grandchildren an art lesson. This place is even better than the photographs. We have stayed at numerous VRBOs and this was by far the best!

Wonderful family vacation
This place is amazing. My family of 7 adults and 5 kids ages 1 1/2 to 8 had non-stop fun. The pictures on the website don’t do this place justice. You drive in and the sculpture garden takes your breath away before you are 50 yards into the property. There are swings, hammocks, teeter totters, a jungle gym, a play house and a puppet show arena for the kids. For the adults, there is a pizza oven and outdoor dining area that we used twice. Also a large dining table on the porch that we used a lot and a big kitchen that was the focal point for a lot of the week we stayed. The beach had a new stairway built to access it and we had a lot of fun looking for rocks and swimming. (Bring water shoes as the water line is quite rocky). The host live on the 2.5 acre property but don’t get in your way at all. In fact, Wendy and John were a pleasure to get to know and I actually sought them out a couple of times to talk as they are both quite interesting. Wendy has an art school on property and gave our entire family an art lesson. They were quick to fix any minor issues immediately. We all discussed coming back again in the future.

fabulous time at the Sandcastle
Thank you, Wendy and John, for a terrific experience! We had 8 adults (4 couples) and a toddler. Each couple had a private room except for the toddler. There is plenty of seating/dining space for everyone, with a large kitchen table, a long picnic table on the deck overlooking lake michigan, and a long table under a pergola next to the fabulous wood-fired pizza oven (we cheated and bought dough from a local pizza shop). We used the deck-top fire pit overlooking the lake every night. The kitchen was well stocked for large-scale cooking. We brought some pans, knives, etc, which proved unnecessary. The hosts were attentive and responsive and live within sight of the property. The refrigerator was not cooling properly when we arrived, and the hosts quickly brought over a temporary replacement refrigerator. They immediately brought over a replacement grill when we pointed out a problem with the existing one. They also helped us to fire up the pizza oven and provided helpful instructions. The property is huge and park-like, with swings, climbing structure, 1/2 basketball court, and shed with bikes (and pump) and beach chairs. There is a nice sand beach, but the waterline to about 15 feet offshore is quite rocky (about 2" rocks) so bring your water shoes. Be sure to ask John to show you his marble sculptures and ask Wendy about her clay sculptures of NYC subway riders. Her beautiful children's book illustrations are framed throughout the house.

オーナー : Wendy Halperin
I, Wendy Anderson Halperin am a children's book illustrator and have artwork from children's books in the house. My husband John is a stone sculptor and storyteller . We work and travel a great deal in the summers because of our work so we love having families enjoy the peace and beauty the lake offers. One daughter is a dancer so we built a dance floor/deck in front of the house . It is also a very nice place to sit, do yoga etc. Our son is a restaurant manager so he built the pizza oven in the east part of the property. Our guests love the adventure of making pizzas outdoors. We have books, recipes and tools to make the experience fun. Our other daughter is a textile designer and so her art is also in the house. If you enjoy hand made this house all about hand made.
