About this property

Waterfront 2 Bedroom Slice of Paradise - on Lake Michigan in Glen Arbor MI

We’re thrilled you’re interested in visiting our happy place! We are a family of five and we’ve spent the last 18 years vacationing in the Glen Arbor area. Welcome to Paradise Found!

Situated at the Homestead Resort, our condo has direct sandy frontage on Lake Michigan as well as direct frontage on the Crystal River. We recently completed a full remodel including all new flooring, kitchen, bathroom, drywall, insulation, paint, built-ins, and new furniture.

We’ve maximized the space to technically sleep 8, but the size is perfectly suited for 5-6 people.

Mother Nature steals the spotlight in Glen Arbor - but there is nothing better than returning to our cozy condo after a long day exploring and enjoying the sites. When remodeling our condo, we spared no comfort-related detail. The interior space is well suited to parties of 5-6 people and is family-friendly.

Outside, there are two decks to lounge on which overlook the river and small dunes near the beach. Crystal River is located directly outside our door and flows into Lake Michigan. Grab a kayak, stand-up paddle board, or tube (all included with your stay) and float your cares away while taking in the stunning views only northern Michigan can offer. Want to be near the open water? Cross the bridge steps from the condo and find yourself on miles of Lake Michigan shoreline. Check out the walk from the deck to the beach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1Rx0dV2bSg

The condo is located on the beach chosen by Money Magazine as "No. 1 of the 8 Best Beaches to Visit this Summer" and is surrounded by the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore which was chosen by the viewers of ABC's Good Morning America as the "Most Beautiful Place in America."

Please note: there are no Homestead Beach Club privileges with this rental. You have access to miles of beach, but not to their beach club. The bunk room does not have a window, it has two doors; a pocket door to the master and a door to the living room.

Fall weekend getaway

Beautiful views of small dunes overlooking Crystal River directly from the condo windows. Over the small dunes is beautiful Lake Michigan. Very peaceful. Condo was set up with all the amenities. The owner was very helpful and stayed in great contact.

A little slice of heaven!

1st, this property is exactly as advertised and depicted in the online photos (not always the case right?). 2nd, the location is ideal. Just steps from the the scenic Crystal River and only a few more (across a small dune) to a pristine beach and Lake Michigan. 3rd, the condo has undergone a recent and tasteful renovation. 4th...well you probably got the picture. Everything you need has been provided by the owners. The condo is ideal for a couple or small family. If you're actively into water activities, kayaks, boogie boards, and a paddle board (with life jackets) are included. If you'd rather stay still and soak in the rays on the beach, beach chairs and an umbrella are at your disposal. The location within the Homestead Resort has many advantages such as an on site shop & restaurant for food/coffee. Plus you are only a 5-7 min drive to Glen Arbor and all it's offerings. Or, like us, you could take your bikes into town along the scenic Sleeping Bear Heritage trail (a 20 mile plus mostly paved trail) which has a trail head just next to the Homestead entrance (so convenient)! We stayed in late Sept when the weather was still great but the summer crowds had gone home. Most shops and restaurants were still open but some had limited hours. I can imagine the vibe is different during the peak summer times but after an active day you still get to relax on the condo's deck (or cross the dunes to the beach) and catch a gorgeous relaxing sunset! Go/Enjoy!

Sunsets for days....

I expected a beautiful condo, nice beach and crystal clear water... but I did not expect some of the most beautiful sunsets imaginable! And, night did not truly fall until 10:30 - talk about Summer In Northern Michigan! Our family enjoyed a week of pure Northern Michigan bliss. Matt, Your place was perfect! We enjoyed using your beach amenities and the community grill was awesome for cooking out. As huge tennis fans, who booked our stay during Wimbledon, we appreciated the nice TV - loved how it swung out for easy viewing. Overall a great stay at at a beautiful property. Looking forward to next Summer in Northern Michigan...
