BLUE WATERS EDGE | LAKE MICHIGAN • PRIVATE BEACH • HEATED POOL • HOT TUB

Welcome to Blue Waters Edge, professionally operated by Waters Edge Vacation Rentals in Ludington, Michigan.

Built in 2021 specifically as a vacation rental, this 4,400 sq. ft. Lake Michigan home was designed from the ground up for large families and groups. From the heated saltwater pool and hot tub to two kitchens, two laundry rooms and endless Lake Michigan views, Blue Waters Edge has something for everyone.

HEATED SALTWATER POOL

Pool heat is included at no extra charge!

Enjoy an 85°F heated saltwater pool from mid-May through October 31. There is nothing quite like swimming in warm water on a cool September or October day while overlooking Lake Michigan from the bluff.

We have two pool heaters and can adjust the pool temperature warmer or cooler upon request at no additional charge.

The pool area also features:

* Heated outdoor shower
* Poolside natural-gas fire table
* Lake Michigan views
* Plenty of patio and deck space for relaxing in the sun

HOT TUB

Our Hot Spring hot tub is kept around 101–104°F and features two built-in massage seats and a top-of-the-line filtration system.

One of our favorite times to use it is at night. Relax under the stars, listen to the Lake Michigan waves, and watch the illuminated freighters traveling in and out of Ludington harbor.

AMAZING LAKE MICHIGAN VIEWS

Blue Waters Edge sits high on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan, creating incredible panoramic views.

Four of the six bedrooms have pool and/or lake views.

The large covered lakeside porch has comfortable outdoor furniture where you can enjoy the view while keeping an eye on the kids in the pool. Prefer the sun There is plenty of open deck and poolside patio space as well.

You may even find yourself looking down at seagulls and the occasional soaring bald eagle. There is a bald eagle nest just a couple of houses south of Blue Waters Edge.

PRIVATE LAKE MICHIGAN BEACH

Enjoy 107 feet of private Lake Michigan beach frontage.

At the beach you'll find:

* 6 chaise loungers
* 2 kayaks
* 2 stand-up paddleboards
* Approximately 1½ miles of beach to explore

Take a walk along the shoreline, paddle Lake Michigan, or hunt for Petoskey stones—we've found them here!

**Important:** Blue Waters Edge sits on a high bluff. Reaching our private beach requires approximately 100 steps plus a trail, and the return trip uphill can take around 10 minutes. For guests who don't want to make the climb, the heated saltwater pool provides an easier way to enjoy the water and Lake Michigan views.

TWO FULL KITCHENS

Large groups need space!

Blue Waters Edge has two fully equipped kitchens one on the main level and another on the pool level. That means plenty of cooking space and, just as importantly, lots of refrigerator space for food and drinks.

## NEVER RUN OUT OF HOT WATER

Two tankless hot-water heaters provide enough capacity to run up to four showers simultaneously without running out of hot water—an important feature when traveling with a large group.

TWO LAUNDRY ROOMS

There are two laundry areas:

* Main level
* Pool level

No hauling everyone's towels and clothes through the entire house.

WHOLE-HOUSE BACKUP POWER

Blue Waters Edge has two automatic whole-house generators.

If the power goes out, the generators automatically start so a Michigan storm doesn't have to interrupt your vacation.

EV CHARGING

An EV charger is located in the garage so you can recharge your vehicle during your stay.

NEARBY PUBLIC BEACHES

Our private beach is beautiful, but the bluff stairs aren't for everyone. If you prefer an easy-access or drive-up beach, there are several excellent options nearby:

Buttersville Park – Just down the road, with a smaller public beach.

Stearns Park Beach – About 15 minutes away in downtown Ludington. A large public beach with accessible walkways and an easy stop for lunch, shopping or ice cream.

Ludington State Park – One of Michigan's premier state parks, with more than 5,000 acres of dunes, beaches, trails and the Big Sable Point Lighthouse.

LOCATION

Blue Waters Edge is conveniently located between Ludington and Pentwater—approximately 15 minutes from each—so you can enjoy both communities during your stay.

Mason County Picnic Area is directly across the street. Play the disc golf course, explore the trails, or hike to the top of the lookout tower.

FAST FIBER-OPTIC WIFI

Stay connected with fast fiber-optic internet from Great Lakes Energy, with speeds of 100+ Mbps.

Whether you're streaming movies, connecting multiple devices, or need to get some work done during your stay, the house has fast, reliable Wi-Fi throughout.

MADE FOR GROUP VACATIONS

Blue Waters Edge wasn't simply converted into a vacation rental—it was designed and built to be one.

From the two kitchens and two laundry rooms to abundant hot water, backup generators, heated pool, hot tub, private beach and large gathering spaces, the house was created to make vacations with family and friends easier and more enjoyable.

We would love to have your group experience Blue Waters Edge and Lake Michigan.

    The house was beautifully laid out and appointed to accommodate our multigenerational family. Our hosts were immediately responsive to any questions we had with helpful tips about the area. The photos don’t do justice to the beauty of the views from every room! The only downside is the access to the beach. It’s a physically challenging climb back up! We would definitely recommend this property. The pool and the hot tub were our family’s favorites.

    Everything you could need for accommodations to make for a wonderful stay and enjoy family time! The pool was used nonstop by the 10 kids we had with and most went to the beach daily too. It is a bit of a hike so young toddlers and our 7.5 month pregnant sister didn’t make the trek as often. Spotless home, great communication and overall top notch experience!

    The house was even more beautiful than the pictures! The view was amazing! The house was extremely clean and well maintained. We were impressed with how well stocked it was, from the kitchen to the beach toys. All the extras like the gas fire pit, two fireplaces, etc. added up to make for a great vacation. The owners were easy to communicate with, and their attention to detail in this home makes it a perfect place to stay!

    Our family loved our 3 night stay at Blue Waters Edge! House was clean and well equipped!! Kids and grandkids had a great time at the pool. Being able to play around in Lake Michigan was also a plus. I'd give this home 10 stars if I could! We hope to go back again! Only wish there were more opportunities for a 3 night rental in the summer.

    We had such a wonderful stay. The house, the view, the beach were above our expectations. The pool was so warm (we were early in the season and the weather was a bit cool) the kids swam for hours. They have thought of everything! There are games, firewood, pool toys, beach toys, more than enough towles. We didn't want for anything in the kitchen or bar. If I had to be critical, add blackout curtains. We would 100% rent again.

    Nothing but amazing things to say about our stay! The house has an amazing view of Lake Michigan and a well groomed path to get down to the beachfront. The hike back up is strenuous, but not long. Make sure to bring everything you need the first time, so you don’t have to make a second trip up. Plenty of space on both floors of the house to comfortably fit everyone and the bedrooms are tidy and clean with the upstairs ones having a great view of the Lake. Shawn and Naomi are very responsive leading up to and throughout the stay. I would gladly stay here again.

    Perfect LDW with extended family. This house is amazing. Super clean, so well appointed with everything from kitchen supplies to beach toys and all in between. Every amenity you could think of! Tons of games inside and out to keep everyone entertained. The pool and hot tub were a highlight. Highly recommend this home! It was a perfect stay and we will be back!

    We gathered as a family of grandparents, parents and grandchildren (17 people ranging in age from 11 -82). The house and property offered something for everyone with a variety of interests and abilities. Small steps onto the porch and the ramp down to the pool helped with accessibility. We played video games, rode the stationary bikes while watching movies, enjoyed the pool (set to 90 degrees by request) and hot tub, played disc golf at the course across the street, and soaked in the views from the porch and the beach. The poolside shower was amazing. The hosts were responsive to every request, including delivering supplies to our door when they ran out mid-week. The large kitchen space on the main floor made it easy to prepare meals for a crowd (we didn't even need to use the basement kitchen) and everyone had tons of space to get ready for the day with all the bathrooms throughout the house. Most of all, we had a luxurious, relaxing, fun-filled, joyous time together in a beautiful, quiet home. 10/10 would recommend!

    This house and rental experience is one of the best that myself and my group have ever had. The house is absolutely immaculate, no detail is forgotten, perfect for kids and families (baby gates, alarms, toys, high chairs, etc). The view is out of this world, the beach is stunning, the pool is PERFECT! Shawn and Naomi are incredibly responsive and helped us so quickly with every question and request during our stay — they are amazing. Cannot wait to make this an annual trip. The only thing to consider is the bugs and bees. You just have to be very careful by the pool and know that a few stings might happen. The fruit flies were maintained and Shawn and Naomi helped us there too.

It was set up and stocked like no other! We were all so impressed with the quality of the house, beds, towels, pool, hot tub, beach toys, paddle boards, I could go on and on.First rate rental, beautiful scenery, quite location and great sunsets!

    This lake house was everything we hoped for and more! From the moment we walked in, we felt completely at home. The fridge was thoughtfully stocked with drinks, which was such a nice surprise after a long drive. The view from the deck is absolutely breathtaking—mornings with coffee overlooking the water were a daily highlight. The house itself is beautifully maintained, super clean, and packed with every amenity you could want: two fully loaded kitchens, including kids plates and cups, comfy beds, fast WiFi, a hot tub, a stroller, an air mattress, a grill, and even a cozy fire pit for outdoor s’more’s.We also loved how well-equipped the house was for lake fun—beach towels, chairs, paddleboards, kayaks, and even sand toys for the kids were all provided. Having everything we needed right there made our stay stress-free and relaxing.Truly one of the best vacation rentals we’ve ever stayed in. Can’t wait to come back!

    We looked at several homes during our October Break and so happy we chose this one. The heated pool was amazing in October. Lewis Farms was a huge hit with the kids. Ludington State park hikes to see all the amazing changing colors. This house was perfect for the 4 families - plenty of space, fully stocked and just so comfortable all around! Shawn and Naomi were wonderful answering all my questions (and I had a ton) :) Nothing we would have changed at all. Even in October the beach was perfect - we setup games down there and had a great time. (hike down to the beach - so we limited what we took down there) - but the views from the house, pictures of the sunset were unbelievable. What a wonderful time to travel to Ludington Michigan and a perfect house to host us all!
