Also featuring a heated outdoor shower

just added pool side gas fire table, just add you and your favorite beverage may- Oct. 31st

HOT TUB:
Our ultra clean hot springs hot tub goes up to 104 degrees. The hot tub features 2 built in back message seats and a top of the line filtration system. Don't forget to dip in at night for some star gazing and watching the freighters come in-and-out of Ludington port. The freighters look like Cruise ships at night.

HOT WATER HEATERS:
2 instant hot water heaters. So you can run 4 showers at the same time and never run out of hot water.

LAUNDRY:
2 laundry rooms. One main level. One pool level.

KITCHEN:
2 fully-equipped kitchens One on main level. One on pool level. That gives you a lot of refrigerator space for the important stuff.

BEACH:
107' of private Lake Michigan beach frontage. Take the trek down to the beach and relax in one of the 6 chase loungers, or use the the two supplied kayaks and 2 stand up paddle boards to explore the lake shore.
1 1/2 miles of beach to walk. Be sure to take some time to search the sandy beach for Petoskey stones, we have found some!

There are about 100 steps and some trails to Blue Waters Edges private beach. Its a 10 min hike back up, alternatively the salt water pool has all warm water you will need!

If a drive up beach is more your style you have 3 to pick from :
you can see them on Google or trip advisor
1. Butters Ville Park ( down the street) close small beach
2. Stearns park located downtown Ludington ( 15 min away) large beach handicap accessible walk ways.
Pair this with lunch or ice cream .
3. Ludington state park beach ( its the big one 5300 acres of scenic sand dunes , beaches and the big Sable point light house)

The lake view from the house is stunning! House was fantastic for our family vacation, and Shawn and Naomi were highly responsive throughout. The house was also very well stocked with everything you’d think you may need and more. We hope to stay here again!

Nothing but amazing things to say about our stay! The house has an amazing view of Lake Michigan and a well groomed path to get down to the beachfront. The hike back up is strenuous, but not long. Make sure to bring everything you need the first time, so you don’t have to make a second trip up. Plenty of space on both floors of the house to comfortably fit everyone and the bedrooms are tidy and clean with the upstairs ones having a great view of the Lake. Shawn and Naomi are very responsive leading up to and throughout the stay. I would gladly stay here again.

This house and rental experience is one of the best that myself and my group have ever had. The house is absolutely immaculate, no detail is forgotten, perfect for kids and families (baby gates, alarms, toys, high chairs, etc). The view is out of this world, the beach is stunning, the pool is PERFECT! Shawn and Naomi are incredibly responsive and helped us so quickly with every question and request during our stay — they are amazing. Cannot wait to make this an annual trip. The only thing to consider is the bugs and bees. You just have to be very careful by the pool and know that a few stings might happen. The fruit flies were maintained and Shawn and Naomi helped us there too.

This lake house was everything we hoped for and more! From the moment we walked in, we felt completely at home. The fridge was thoughtfully stocked with drinks, which was such a nice surprise after a long drive. The view from the deck is absolutely breathtaking—mornings with coffee overlooking the water were a daily highlight. The house itself is beautifully maintained, super clean, and packed with every amenity you could want: two fully loaded kitchens, including kids plates and cups, comfy beds, fast WiFi, a hot tub, a stroller, an air mattress, a grill, and even a cozy fire pit for outdoor s’more’s.We also loved how well-equipped the house was for lake fun—beach towels, chairs, paddleboards, kayaks, and even sand toys for the kids were all provided. Having everything we needed right there made our stay stress-free and relaxing.Truly one of the best vacation rentals we’ve ever stayed in. Can’t wait to come back!

Absolutely stunning!! The house was gorgeous and the hosts are just great. The kids had so much fun at the pool and the beach was so beautiful and peaceful. The house had everything we could ask for and more. It’s a short drive to downtown Ludington from the house, which is a really neat beach town. Loved everything about this trip and would go back in a heart beat!

Blue Waters Edge, Ludington, Michigan

Blue Waters Edge is a private breathtaking property nestled on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. The views of Lake Michigan and the sun sets are etched in my mind forever. The house is nearly new and wonderfully accommodated my family of 22. The ownership and management are world class. Everything you could ever need has been carefully thought through and provided. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Bachelorette Weekend Trip

Our stay was amazing at this property. We had a girls bachelorette party with 16 people. We had enough space to hang throughout the day and the room and beds were very comfortable! The pool and hot tub were perfectly heated & the view to the beach made for some great pictures!!! Getting to and from the beach was a little hard & we didn’t let our pregnant friends go down there, but if you take your time it’s worth it! The sand is so soft ! We would definitely stay here again & maybe even bring kids this time - the house was well equipped for families with little ones!

Fall Break Getaway

We looked at several homes during our October Break and so happy we chose this one. The heated pool was amazing in October. Lewis Farms was a huge hit with the kids. Ludington State park hikes to see all the amazing changing colors. This house was perfect for the 4 families - plenty of space, fully stocked and just so comfortable all around! Shawn and Naomi were wonderful answering all my questions (and I had a ton) :) Nothing we would have changed at all. Even in October the beach was perfect - we setup games down there and had a great time. (hike down to the beach - so we limited what we took down there) - but the views from the house, pictures of the sunset were unbelievable. What a wonderful time to travel to Ludington Michigan and a perfect house to host us all!

Exceptional in Every Way / Family Reunion to Remember

Our family group (we also had sister property-same hosts/owners, see Suites A/ Ludington review) of all ages was so comfortable, entertained and delighted by this beautiful home. We are not strangers to higher-end rentals, but this was the first time we were greeted by stocked paper products, laundry supplies, and even a stocked beverage fridge... and all the little extras that make vacation start the minute you unpack. As welcome as that was, the magnificent views out the back of the home toward the medium dune and beach/big lake were to-die-for! Even on the single overcast day! The young ones loved the pool toys, and many of us enjoyed the paddleboards and kayaks on the beach (do NOT fear the 101 beach steps....I'm 66 yrs old and had no issues). The sand was so soft and the water crystal clear and shallow for yards and yards. The provided beach towels were so useful for the families flying in for the week, as it helped limit their need to pack some from home. The pool and hottub were in perfect working order and spotless. Cooking large meals for our group was so easy given the quality of appliances and smart kitchen layout. The owners responded very promptly and courteously to our occasional inquiries. And the 220V line in the garage to charge EV's was so handy. We CANNOT WAIT to visit again!

We gathered as a family of grandparents, parents and grandchildren (17 people ranging in age from 11 -82). The house and property offered something for everyone with a variety of interests and abilities. Small steps onto the porch and the ramp down to the pool helped with accessibility. We played video games, rode the stationary bikes while watching movies, enjoyed the pool (set to 90 degrees by request) and hot tub, played disc golf at the course across the street, and soaked in the views from the porch and the beach. The poolside shower was amazing. The hosts were responsive to every request, including delivering supplies to our door when they ran out mid-week. The large kitchen space on the main floor made it easy to prepare meals for a crowd (we didn't even need to use the basement kitchen) and everyone had tons of space to get ready for the day with all the bathrooms throughout the house. Most of all, we had a luxurious, relaxing, fun-filled, joyous time together in a beautiful, quiet home. 10/10 would recommend!

Expectations set and met!

We used all seven bedrooms and both kitchens. Our private chef loved the main kitchen setup as well. Hot tub and salt water pool were just great. Parking space for all cars was really nice. I passed along a few suggestions to the owner that were happily received. This is a property worth returning to if the need arises.
