Lake Mich. Beachfront 4 bedroom Home with Fantastic Views and private beach

Steve’s home was beyond our expectations! Home was beautifully decorated, situated on the most gorgeous beach in the area, and was curated with every item you would need for a week at the beach. We were greeted by the owner himself to guide us through the home and available for any questions. The house is actually more beautiful than the pictures. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were extremely comfortable, and the beach was perfection! We had the PERFECT girls week with life long friends.

We loved our time at Steve’s! The views were truly spectacular - we didn’t miss a sunset! We enjoyed being able to easily walk down to the beach, about 20 steps with double handrails (our 4 year old handled them with ease). There were beach chairs and sand toys available. Inside, the home was spacious and clean with a well equipped kitchen and brand new appliances that made our stay very comfortable. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and we enjoyed listening to the waves instead of a sound machine! Although we used our own, there was a travel high chair and crib available. We would definitely recommend this rental. Thank you Steve!

We stayed for a week. My dad loved listening to the waves and watching the water.

This property is a little slice of heaven. Steve, the owner, was friendly, kind, and responded promptly to all of my questions. The house and its views are even more stunning in person than the photos can capture. It’s modern, spotless, and well cared for. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is provided. It’s like you’re staying at your grandparents’ house and they’ve stocked it with everything you might need. It has Tommy Bahama beach chairs, two umbrellas (shade for 3 people), a super-clean gas grill, and new appliances (stove, fridge with ice/water, washer, dryer). The Wi-Fi easily handled our group of nine, even with three of us working remotely. All three upstairs bedrooms have lake views, and the main floor offers panoramic views of Lake Michigan. The beach is clean, quiet, not a lot of foot traffic, and everyone I met (neighbors and those on the beach) was friendly and kind. You can walk/run for miles along the clean, sandy shoreline. We hunted for rocks and found beach glass, a lightning rock, and even Petoskey stones. Sunsets from the porch were incredible, and we had a few clear nights perfect for stargazing. One night, we even saw the Northern Lights! The west-facing porch is spacious, shaded, and has plenty of comfortable seating for everyone. This place is incredibly peaceful—like spending a week inside the Calm app. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

We had a great time! Always wonderful to be by Lake Michigan to walk the beach and play in the water. Steve was friendly and met as see arrived to give us a tour and show the workings of the cottage! Appreciated his gift of wine and a pie - enjoyed both! The cottage was very clean and fit our family needs. Thank you Steve for sharing your slice of heaven with us!

The owner was totally cooperative and the home was clean and lovely!

Great place. Location is only 20 steps down to beach. We'll stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, very quiet.

My family of 6 greatly enjoyed our week at this wonderful beach house on Lake Michigan. This is our 3rd year renting this home. The house is well stocked, well cared for and always clean. Everything you could want for the beach is provided, no need to bring towels, beach chairs or kids toys. The views of the lake are terrific, all framed in waist high beach grass. Beach is really nice--private and very walkable. Lots of golf courses near by and downtown Manistee is always fun to walk around. A great stay overall!

Wonderful week at a perfect beach location. We played in the sand and water, enjoyed beach fires, and enjoyed watching the sunset. The home has lots of extras from beach chairs and sand toys to inside games and comfortable outdoor seating. Beds were comfortable and nice beach towels were available. The host was very receptive to our questions. Loved the Manistee area.

Could not have been better.

This house was perfect for our two families (8 people total). The location right on Lake Michigan was amazing. We swam, walked/ran on the beach each day and had campfires and game nights all week long. The kitchen was fully equipped for the many meals we made and the location to shopping and dinning in downtown Manistee was not too far. We absolutely loved our stay and the memories we made. We would not hesitate to rent this place again in the future.

This house is beautifully situated on a quiet private beach with lovely dune grass and 10 or so steps down to the water. Everything is charming, clean and very homey, the bedrooms are bright and cheerful and the main living/dining area nicely appointed. The large porch with lake views is perfect for lounging and relaxing. The area has many fun outdoor activities and great state parks. Highly recommend!

Spent 7 days with 4 grandchildren (4-10) and children and had a wonderful time. Great sandy private beach! House was fully equipped with everything you could want. House is only around 2300 sq ft but due to the open floor plan easily accommodated our family of 9. Fourth bedroom is adjacent to the garage and not suitable for children. That would be the only shortcoming we could find. Would recommend! Great family vacation!
