Charming Beach Front Cottages at Duneland Rentals.

Excellent stay. Clean and well stocked for a quick weekend in the dunes! It’s literally outside the entrance to both state and national dunes parks. We stayed two nights and had plenty of time to do a lot of hiking. The beach and Lake Michigan are visible from all angles of the house and is spectacular views! Lots of waves!

This is such a lovely place to stay. The house, the lake and National Park were amazing! We ventured into Michigan and visited the tulip festival in Holland, Michigan. While in Michigan we also visited a few light houses. The host Susan is incredibly nice and even helped us carry some of our luggage down the stairs to our rental. This house is close to the National Park, hiking trials, grocery stores and places to eat. The views are incredible from the house and the sunsets are amazing! Don't think twice! Book a stay today!

We had a wonderful time at this quiet cottage, tucked away down the dune right on the beach. It was just perfect to come back and relax here after a day hiking in the national park. Susan was great- flexible on meeting up to let us in, even helped us carry down our bags. Would definitely stay again.

This property is a rare example where the photos don't do it justice. It's rustic but certainly doesn't feel old or rundown, and the beachfront proximity is incredible in almost any weather. Check-in was very straightforward, and the host offered to help carry our bags down the (many) flights of stairs from the elevated street to the beach. House was reasonably stocked for a short visit, and the abundant firewood offered for use was perfect for our fall visit. One thing to note is that the infrastructure reflects the fact that Dune Acres is a tiny town carved out of the middle of a large forest, and the power and internet can blip out during storms -- but you're not at the beach to sit online, so not a big deal! The beachfront cafe at the state park is less than a 10 minute stroll along the beach, and another few minutes takes you into the park itself with all of the great trails and hiking that comes with it. Overall, we'd love to stay here again. The biggest thing to note is that it is not ideal for those with mobility issues or little people who may not be able to climb a lot of stairs to get back to the street (and then a bit further up a hill to the parking area), but that did not bother us.

The location was just incredible. I honestly do not think there is a better option in terms of location - it was walking distance to the State Park and about 7-10 minute drive from everything else you would need! The views were incredible and being able to walk right directly out to the Lake was very convenient. The only negative is that there are a lot of stairs, but also there is not really a way around that because of the way the dunes are naturally, just don't overpack!

Peaceful

Great location (right on Lake Michigan)! Kids enjoyed walking the beach and looking for rocks. Great space. Thanks for having us!

Beautiful location…very peaceful! Perfect size for our family of 5. Would definitely book again!

This was a wonderful place to stay! It was the perfect size for our family of 5. The location was perfect, it is right on a beautiful and large beach area that was not crowded. It's super close to the parks and there are good areas around for food and shopping. Susan was a great host, we felt welcomed and she was very responsive when we needed anything. The only downside is that it is a shared unit, so other people stay in the downstairs unit, and you can smell the food they cook and have the same common area with the grill and firepit. It was not an issue for us, the price was much better than fully private places and we had plenty of beach room and still had our own beach area.

This was a lovely home right on the water of Lake Michigan. We stayed in early November so we did not go in the water but the beach was lovely and the waves for the week we were there made it feel like the ocean. The beds were comfortable and warm The kitchen was well appointed The bath is adequate. The water was hot and all of the plumbing worked great (not always a given at a beach house) The living and dining area was comfortable enough for our group of 4 with a singe couch and 1 chair but a larger group might not be comfy for long. Access is at the bottom of a longgggg staircase (about 50-75 steps) and then through sand. Not for the faint of heart or weak of knee :). But if you can get there it is totally worth the trip! We will definitely stay again
