Pentwater, Michigan
Our family has been in Pentwater for over 100 years, and we are renovating this historic home right in the heart of Pentwater with families and special needs in mind. EVERYTHING has been renovated with an eye towards modern functionality and historical charm. As for location, it is a 1/2 block from downtown and an easy stroll to the beach (or take the back route up the dunes to Mt Baldy). Its large setback ensures peace and quiet even though it is right in the heart of the village.
There is ample off-street parking off the alleyway in addition to parking on the street. The front porch is the place to catch the morning sun with your coffee. The back deck is enormous with space for everyone for private evenings outdoors. The back yard has the fire pit for s'mores at night as well as an extra patio. The side yard has a badminton / boccie ball court.
As for the interior, the house has SIX bedrooms (all conforming - no converted closets), so there is room for multiple generations - two down and four up. There are also a few pull out sofas if there are more grand kids than you can count. There is also a full bath on each level.
We have renovated the house with grandparents and anyone with special needs in mind. The entire first floor is fully ADA compliant - meeting all commercial code requirements. A ramp leads from the handicap parking in the back to the deck. The transition from deck to house is almost seamless. There are no floor height differentials on the entire first floor (two bedrooms). The bedrooms have wide doors, and the master bedroom is en suite. The bathroom has a 5'x5' fully tiled roll-in shower area. The kitchen has been designed with wheelchairs in mind: roll-under stove, roll-under sink, wall-mounted stove, wheel chair friendly seating, and ADA-compliant appliances throughout. Even the picnic table on the deck is built for wheel chair access.
The main floor layout is an open living plan, with the kitchen, dining, and living rooms flowing into each other and right out onto the rear deck through the French doors. The 65" TV provides plenty of viewing for everyone, and a second TV in the upstairs sitting room is perfect for sequestering the kids.
At this time we do not provide bed sheets. We do however provide blankets and pillows.

Property was very handicap accessible. We were so happy to find a vacation rental that could accommodate my son and his power chair. We had a wonderful time and would recommend it to anyone who needs an ADA compliant home or just a very spacious place to vacation. Our host was very accommodating and quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had.
I could write a long review but with so many good things to say I will touch on just a few. The home is beautiful and worked very well for us, including my mom who spends most of her time in a wheelchair. Kitchen, bedrooms and beds, living areas are all large and comfortable. The ramp to/from the deck was such a blessing so we could take mom with us on walks, downtown, and to the beach. (ramp does get a bit slippery after heavy rain). The firepit was great for us to gather around at night. The proximity to downtown, and the beach is amazing. Thank you to Kyra and Patricia for making this a wonderful place to stay.
Perfect location! Less than a block to cute downtown Pentwater, and an easy walk to the beach. Free beach parking with park pass license plate for seniors or if you have chairs etc. Be aware this is a dog friendly home ( although we had no dog) but very clean inside with no sign or smell of dog. Yard is very kid friendly with plenty of space for soccer games and water balloon fights. Front porch and back deck were nice for morning coffee and afternoon drinks. Furnishings are older but comfortable. It would have been nice to have a couple of beach chairs available, but wood for the fire pit , and bags of local coffee and s’more fixings was a nice perk. All and all, a great space for our 3 generation, 5 adults and 5 kids vacation. We will add it to the list for possible stays in the future.
Very well maintained home within walking distance to all the stores. Quite area and would recommend to friends and family.
We have been coming to Pentwater for years and this has been by far our favorite house that we have rented. The location is perfect for walking to the beach and downtown. The house has a fenced in yard, which is awesome to have for the dogs (especially since most of the rentals don’t allow dogs). There are lots of beds and did not feel overcrowded at all. The house also has a second fridge, which was great to have with our large group. Definitely recommend staying here. We cannot wait to come back next summer!!
Don’t think it had been occupied for a while. Grill was quite dirty. No garbage bags or extra toilet paper. Location was nice. Lots of plates, silverware, cups and glasses. Not many sharp knives or serving bowls for a house that large. We were a little disappointed for what we paid.
Everyone enjoyed themselves in this home. Plenty of bedrooms to choose from. House is historic. Home is located close to town and you can walk everywhere. The town is friendly and welcoming. Would recommend this home.
This home away from home is situated on the Main Street in Pentwater. Step out the front door and you can walk to the local shops, grab a bite to eat, or have an ice cream treat. The beach is a short walk too! The home is very spacious and offers many bedrooms for multi-generational families. The back deck is also large so we could enjoy grilling out and playing games. The backyard is fenced in so our dog could run and play.
We loved our stay here and hope to be back. It was so nice to have an accessible house so my dad could enjoy the vacation as well, he was even able to make it down to the beach. Great location to walk all over Pentwater.
My family had an excellent stay at this property. I honestly think the pictures don't do it justice. We had someone who is disabled in our group and the accessibility was a key factor in our decision to rent this house. The bathroom was excellent and it was easy to get in and out of the house via the ramp. Because he has a few accessibility aids, we did have to shift some furniture out of the way so he could move safety, but nothing significant. We loved the location. It was a quick 1/4 mile to the beach, and the beach had an accessible table and beach wheelchair. Definitely a great and relaxing week, and I would highly recommend this house. Thanks again.
