PROS: Spacious kitchen. Open floor plan. Lots of windows. Use of part of the garage. On the water. Fun games in basement like Pac Man and pingpong. Lots of boardgames. Nice big Deck. Also deck near water. Can kayak on the inlet. Quiet neighborhood. Lovely to watch the birds on the water. Near Lake Michigan. Stu Visser Nature park for walks just around corner. Pickle ball courts nearby. La Playa Mexican restaurant. Farmers market held several days on Ottawa. CONS: Must sign 5 page contract with BVW so should have rented directly from BVW to save $500 VRBO charge. Plants in water makes it difficult to use anything other than a kayak on the water so need to use public boat launch for sailboat. Some road noise when sitting outside and loudspeaker from church on Ottawa. Those in upstairs bedrooms need to be aware that soundproofing isn't good so downstairs bedroom people can hear the upstairs people. Refrigerator wasn't working properly. BVW company didn't believe me initially. Food kept at improper temp. is dangerous so I was persistent to get action then got to talk to a local person from BVW. (Initially you are corresponding with people out of country outsourced by BVW.) Local person dropped off a mini fridge and lots of ice bags that evening. A fridge repairman came to install new fan a couple of days later. Did receive a little remuneration. Would think part of BVW's job would be regular checks on properties: oven door didn't shut tight. 2 of the windows didn't open.

The property was lovely. But they decided to do work on the beach front and made a muddy mess if the yard in doing so. Could not get to pier with out going through mud. No fire pit available which we were looking forward to. Worst of all moldy and musty basement which made allergies of some members of our party flare up quite badly. We could not use basement bedroom so some had it sleep on couch. We loved our stay in Holland but though the home was very nice they really need to get the moisture out of the basement.

This property is misrepresented in photos as having a clean waterfront. We know Lake Macatawa is a dark bottom lake but this property’s frontage is full of logs , duck weed and water is not suitable for swimming. Not even suitable for floating on raft. Lake Michigan public beach is 20 minutes away, if you can get in. Beware.

Nice property. Only negative-lower level temp was cold and we were not able to adjust temp there.

Great Lake access and accommodations! Our family enjoyed our time.
