Great getaway

Nice secluded spot with a gorgeous view of the lake. The chairs on the high ground overlooking the beach were well placed. The cottage was cozy with everything we needed. Would definitely come back.

Beautiful Location!

The cottage is colorful and cozy and was just perfect for two of us! We enjoyed the views, the fire pit and beach. We had sunny days and rainy days- beautiful no matter the weather! We had cake by the lake for my 60th birthday!! On our final morning, while we enjoyed one last walk on the beach, we found ourselves under a full rainbow… Just magical!!

So happy to leave a 5 star rating this year

My first stay at this property was in 2021 for two weeks and was fantastic. But there were a lot of small things, mainly pertaining to the lack of thoroughness by the cleaning company, that needed improvement. The location, the privacy, the views, the big updates to the cottage were and are fantastic. Fast forward to 2022, and all those little things that needed attention last year had been done. Cottage this time around was very very organized and very clean.… Even under furniture. A lot of small things were done to continue to update how the cottage looks and feels, for example, new linens and pillows on the beds, more organized kitchen cupboards with no leftover, half used junk in them. The big screen TV, now upgraded with cable, is a huge plus. Just a few minor things this year, such as burnt out lightbulbs and the stove needing fresh tin foil on the burners. Details. 😁 Guess I’m particular, but this cottage is not cheap. Worth every penny, though, because of all the main positives mentioned about. Grateful the owners are sharing their beach-side oasis! Here’s to 2023!

Ghosted by host

I have cancer and was informed three days prior to arrival that I needed emergency surgery. I contacted the property management group, Evolve, on what was happening. I had no control over the surgery schedule. Initially they indicated that I could move my reservation, but after multiple calls made on my end, they couldn't get a hold of the property owner to move my reservation and ultimately ghosted me. I lost the entire cost of the trip.

Perfect Summer Vacation

Absolutely the best! We stayed for 4 days with our 3 yr old and an 8 month old. This little cottage had everything we needed for our stay! We only had to bring our food and beach towels. It was clean and the kitchen had everything you would need. The views are amazing and beach was perfect for our 3 year old to play. The pictures were too good to be true, but turns out it was true. Can't wait to schedule our stay for next summer.

Sandpiper - beach cottage oasis

We did a lot of research to find a fair priced beach cottage that had privacy, marvelous views of the lake, steps from the cottage to the stairs down to the beach, and forest all around. This little cottage with its interior renovations and floor to ceiling windows was marvelous. We stayed two weeks and really lived into the place. We have already signed up for two weeks next year. Owners were very responsive and eager to be helpful. Better attention to detail is needed regarding neatness from the cleaning crew and thus the four stars on cleanliness, although we wish we had the option to give a 4.5. But we feel with all the positives, particularly the beautiful setting and views, our overall rating is a 5 star.

Great quiet place

nice beach cabin, and good place to get away from work and school. there is another unit on the property but they are far enough apart, and enough room so we each had our own space. the beach has had a lot of erosion and we needed to take a ladder to get down to the shore, so it may be an issue w older people or those with mobility issues, but we were fine with it.

Summer vacation

We had a wonderful weekend as a family at the lake house! Beautiful views and beachfront access where we spent most of our time. The property offered pretty much everything we needed and loved that the outdoor shower to rinse off had hot water. Our only complaint would be that it had a bigger and more comfortable bed. We plan to return! Loved this place! Thank you Rob for a beautiful home to stay in with our little family.

Heavenly!

An adorable beach house, designed to highlight the main attraction: Lake Michigan’s raw beauty and Soulfulness. Beach grass, Adirondack chairs facing the water, access to the beach, fire pit with sunset view and stargazing, grill and picnic table for outside eating, spacious kitchen lay out for hosting, and the surprise treat of waking up to a view of the lake from cozy cottage bedroom. A gem!!

Cozy and comfy cabin with comforts of home.

Our family of four (2 under 10) had a great stay on Lake Michigan! We loved the amazing access to the beachfront and making s'mores every night in the fire pit. We were comfortable in the bedrooms, but please note the couch convertible bed in the living room is only a twin and the sun rises early and bright so you can't sleep past 5 am unless you bring a mask. We gave each child a room so we could stay out by the firepit past their bed times. There are no hand towels for the kitchen or bathroom so please remember to bring those. A few bath mats are also helpful to clean off before entering the house. We went to the flea market in downtown Muskegon and bought a few. We had a very minor issue and called Rob and he responded right away. The air conditioning wasn't needed during the day with the beautiful breeze coming off the lake. We turned it on at night because the bugs and lake were pretty loud at night and birds early morning. We used the grill and the oven. We didn't see the wifi password until the end of our trip, but who needs it up there!?!?!? We used the TV the last day for the kids while packing up and cleaning. All and all a successful family vacation!

We had a great visit during cool weather.

Great location....very private as long as no one is renting the second cottage...super lake views.....two negatives - 1. The cottage gets very hot fast because of the floor to ceiling windows facing west; there are no blinds and no AC. 2. Beds are full size, not queen.
