Our group had such a wonderful time at the cottage. It came with everything we needed, extra towels and all and had ample space for all of us to feel comfortable. We loved the basement games and lounging in the sun room. We very much appreciate the beach towels! Both Skyla and the owner helped checked us in with care. Would stay again! -Puja, September 2026



Very quiet park like setting. Easy beach accessibility (with the golf cart). Plenty of room for our family of 13. The view of the harbor from the deck was gorgeous. The gas grill was large and clean. We appreciated someone from Sterling Sands greeting us on our arrival. Overall, an outstanding trip!!! -Larry, Aug 2026

    Everything was great. The place had plenty of room and was enjoyable to stay. The grill and kitchen were stocked with everything we needed. I highly recommend if you have a big group that likes to have fun.

    This house was perfect for our family vacation this year. Plenty of space for 14 of us to gather as a group yet offer privacy when needed. The sun room was our favorite. We appreciated that the kitchen was well stocked with essentials and that there were plenty of bath and beach towels. The golf cart was especially useful to unload our luggage and travel back and forth to the beach because the house is located in an area with hills and we were traveling with an elderly family member recovering from surgery. The beach is private and pristine and the few residents we met in the community were friendly. The garbage disposal malfunctioned but was fixed promptly after we reported the problem. The owner/rental company staff were great communicators and met some of our party upon arrival to get them settled. We would recommend this property and would stay again. Great area. Great house.

    WOW - what a wonderful house this is. We had 12 people staying in the house ages 9 months-66 years old and it was comfortable for all. The best thing about this house is the private beach. It is where we spent the majority of our time. The house had beach chairs and umbrellas to use which came in very handy. We cooked all of our meals in the giant kitchen which is a great place for hosting!We loved this house SO MUCH that we already secured it for Summer 2026!A couple of items to note:-the appliances in the house are a little outdated (refrigerator, dishwasher, washer and dyer). -the WiFi didn’t really work during our stay. We reset it and were unable to get it to work. -the kitchen is stocked but could use a little updating (including a crockpot, more mixing bowls, more basic cooking utensils, etc).

    The house we rented for our golf outing was a very nice house. I would not rent it again however for several reasons. The access from the parking area, up the many, many steps to get to the screened porch, is too difficult for my age group.We stayed during a terrible rain storm and power went out. Lack of lights is one thing, but the plumbing and well are tied to the electrical so we didn't have plumbing I have been told a generator was installed after we left, but we didn't have it during our stayThe owner provided all refunds we requested and I appreciate that

    The property was perfect for a multigenerational family, age 1-80yrs old! The neighborhood is very unique with houses built on steep hills, requiring golf carts on paved pathways to reach some homes (including rental). Beautiful views!

    The Holiday was perfect for my large family gathering. Amazing views of the bay and only a short walk to the beach. The house is tucked away nicely in the private neighborhood so you feel a nice sense of privacy. Our room of choice was the amazing sun room. Plenty of beds for everyone to sleep comfortably. Could not recommend more

    We had a great time at The Holiday. The house was great with plenty of room for all of us. The screened in porch was a wonderful area to hang out and relax or play games. The beach access was easy to get to and the beach was beautiful. We had a lot of fun!

    House is just as listed: it’s big, fits a lot of people, in a cool hilltop neighborhood with easy beach access on Lake Michigan. Town of Holland is 10 min away and beautiful. House is nice, with lots of space to sleep and hang out and good amenities. Just as listed. We’d stay there again.
