Imagine waking up to the soft lake breeze and stepping out onto your front porch to sink into a classic rocking chair. With coffee in hand, you can watch the neighborhood wake up before taking a morning stroll down the quiet, tree-lined street. Ideally situated just two miles from the iconic Oval Beach and a ten minute walk to Douglas Beach, this spacious cottage is the perfect sanctuary for families and large groups. The layout thoughtfully balances social connection with personal privacy, offering large common areas for group activities alongside four comfortable bedrooms and two full bathrooms. After a few hours of splashing in the Lake Michigan surf, head back to your "home base" to rinse off the sand in the refreshing outdoor shower. While the kids run free in the expansive, grassy backyard, the adults can gather in the fully equipped kitchen to prep a lakeside feast. Whether you choose to dine alfresco on the private patio or enjoy a cozy meal indoors by the glow of the fireplace, the home’s quaint, "coastal cottage" charm makes every meal feel like a special occasion. As the sun begins to set, gather around the fire pit—with firewood provided—to roast marshmallows under the fresh Michigan air or stay in for a cozy movie night with the whole family. From the convenience of the in-home washer/dryer to the ease of ample private parking, every detail is handled so you can focus on what matters: making memories with the people you love.
