The cottage was in a great location. It was a quick walk to the Ottawa Beach State Park and Mt Pisgah trail. The house was cottage style so some age related issues were expected. Kitchen was updated and mostly well equipped (we had to supply a few things that are usually provided when renting a home). We enjoyed the deck and spacious table with umbrella and the front screened porch. The property could have been cleaner and better presented. We could have also asked for the property to be recleaned when we realized that it was not up to our standards of cleanliness; the owner lives nearby and I assume would have responded quickly, if asked. COVID has made us all more aware that cleanliness is important for peace of mind.
We had a lovely stay at the cottage! The location was great, and the neighborhood quiet. It was the perfect tranquil getaway.
Relaxing little cottage. Very close to the beach
House was very clean and comfortable, pictured were very accurate, it was well equipped, close to attractions. Our host was very friendly and accommodating. We would certainly go there again. And it was dog friendly.
The best location for beach vacation! Great host, everything you need for family fun. Thanks! See you again.
We just arrived home from our 5 night stay at Craig’s cottage and we were sad to leave this morning! The house is adorable yet spacious, with all the amenities needed for a fun beach vacation (including a smart TV with Fire Stick that my kids appreciated the one day we got rain). We really enjoyed the proximity to Ottawa Beach, the general store, Dune Dogz, Playa, Lolo’s, and Mt. Pisgah. Being able to walk to the beach was the best part. The line to drive in looked like it was upward of 30-45 min on the weekend. A short drive to downtown Holland, and we also spent a day at Michigan’s Adventure. We loved including our dog on vacation, and super appreciated the beach toys on site as we forgot ours at home. One night we got locked out and Craig was super easy to get ahold of to resolve the issue. Overall a truly memorable Michigan trip and hopefully we can return someday soon!
Couldn't have picked a better house for cooking and enjoying dinner on the screened porch, walking to ice cream each night, and kayaking on Lake Macatawa. We lucked out and had breezy evenings that cooled the bedrooms down perfectly at night. Would definitely stay again!
This cottage is perfectly located! It was just a few minutes walk to the beach, Holland state park, the overlook, the general store and the best Mexican restaurant! My family had a great time and we will definitely be back again.
Liked the location close to The General Store, Mt. Pitsgah, and Holland State Park. Really enjoyed the screened in front porch. Home met our needs perfectly!
Holland is our favorite place to visit in the summer. We had a lovely week in the cottage. Wonderful location, adorable clean cottage, comfortable beds and enjoyed eating outside on the deck in the back. Craig was very responsive as a host. There were some unseasonably hot days but we made it work.
My husband and two kids stayed for two nights. Location is fantastic for Ottawa Beach and everything around Holland! House was great and just as described. I would note it may not be suitable for very young children. The bathroom upstairs is directly next to the stairwell. If someone were to turn left when leaving the bathroom they would fall down the stairs. Hence we did not feel comfortable letting our 5 year old use the bathroom in the middle of the night on her own. Stairs felt steep too, so did not let 5 year old or 2.5 year old come down stairs without us being there. Otherwise, fine for adults.
The pictures very accurately depicted this property. The kitchen was clean and had everything we needed. The bedroom we slept in had a comfortable bed. We enjoyed the bike path on Ottawa Beach Road as well as the close proximity to Holland State Park. The front screened porch was a great place to view small wildlife. Craig was an excellent communicator. The only thing I would recommend is to ask renters to leave the washing machine open, so it does not develop a funky smell. We had a lovely stay!
Craig has an awesome location off a relaxing and quiet road right in the heart of the Ottawa Beach area. House is perfect for a family vacation with crazy close walking distance to the general store for morning coffee or nightly ice cream as well as walk or bike distance to the beach! Craig couldn’t be more accommodating and easy to work with. Screened in front porch was the best every morning and evening. Despite some very nosy curmudgeon neighbors who sadly are just old, crotchety and angry about sharing their beautiful neighborhood to non-residents, this was an awesome stay for us. We hope Craig and the other short term rental setup homes in this area succeed in being able to rent to good families for years to come. More people and their families need to experience this quiet and relaxing town :) We will be back.
We came in for a last minute wedding; the property is PERFECT! Cottage was absolutely lovely. Super convenient location and look forward to booking again! Thank you, Craig, for providing a wonderful retreat!!
The house couldn't have been cuter or in a better spot. Could walk to the beach. Owner even provided a wagon and beach toys. However, the house is in need of some real maintenance: - Main kitchen utensil drawer would open or close - kept falling off the track - no sponge or anything to wash dishes with - bedroom door that couldn't close - SHOWER HEAD THAT COULD ONLY TURN INTO THE WALL making showers practically impossible. I made a long list of all the fix-its for the owner. Perhaps he will have them fixed for your visit. Ask him. Nice guy.
My family and I really enjoyed our Tulip Time weekend in Holland. It was very nice to have a kitchen, living room, deck, and front porch as a sort of common area. You will enjoy listening to the birds on the front porch here, and the beach is just down the street. The owner will take good care of you, for he is a considerate host.
Walked to the beach and to Playa for Mexican.
This house was perfect for our long weekend in Holland with our dog. The location was walking to distance to all the hot spots (Dune Dogs, The General Store, Lo Lo’s and the beach!) Not having A/C wasn’t the biggest deal, as we were not there during the day. At night, the house would cool down and the fans that Craig provided were certainly a bonus. Would certainly stay here again!
The location was amazing. Having access to a private beach that also allowed dogs (at specific hours) was really, really nice and it really blessed me and my family. Craig was a really great communicator.
My family and I enjoyed a week here in the Ottawa Beach historic district of Holland. Tucked in a neighborhood mere steps from Lake Macatawa and a beautiful 10 minute walk to the beach at Lake Michigan, the cottage was clean, well appointed and very comfortable for our family of four. The area is perfect for day trips to Saugatuck and Grand Haven. Would definitely return!
Great experience.
Perfect beach vacation spot. Walk to general store, beach, food and ice cream. Great yard space. Everything you need.
