About this property

Rent for 1 or 2 weeks. Our cottage is part of a quiet cottage owners' community, perfect for a relaxing week at the beach. Enjoy a beautiful beach and Lake Michigan with awesome views and sunsets from the large deck! (See pics!)
The cottage is a smoke free environment. Sorry, but pets are not allowed. Capacity limit is six people due to water capacity (well & septic) and wear on this private home. The cottage is owner occupied approx. 1/2 of the summer.
We're in a great location - on a private stretch of beach only 1 mile north of the popular town of Pentwater. As you can see from the pictures, the cottage is high on a dune. There are sliding glass door windows on two sides looking West out onto the deck and to the lake for a very tree-top feel and great views. This cottage is not for you if you cannot manage stairs. Like all cottages on the dunes, there are a lot of stairs to get to the beach. Inside, there is a great room and a large dining room table for family meals/ games/ cards, etc. The cottage is 2 levels- There are 2 bedrooms and full bath on the main floor, plus 2 bedrooms and full bath upstairs which makes it ideal for a single family, or for 2 couples.
Swimming in clear water, sandy bottom and the endless walking beach can't be surpassed. It is about a mile walk to town.
Please see the Rental Agreement which is reqired for booking.
Saturday check out is before 11:00am and check in is after 4:00pm.
The Pentwater area has lots to do in addition to the beach: golf, tennis, many shops, restaurants, mini golf, go-carts, ice cream, movies, and is just north of Silver lake with its amazing sand dunes and dune rides!

Absolutely beautiful setting

And it’s all about the beach. Lots of stairs, good for your quads. Very comfortable and accommodating for all of us, with lots of beach toys for the kids, and a kayak for the grown-ups. Sorry we had to leave.

Lovely beach - fabulous sunsets

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Pentwater. The cottage is homey and comfortable. The beach is fabulous (if you don't mind steps!) The sunsets and views from the deck can't be beat -- assembling to view (and photograph) the sunset was our evening ritual. Our adult sons loved riding the dunes at Silver Lake.

Fantastic as always

This is our third year renting this cottage so if you want you can read my review from last year which has all the details. We loved it so much last year we rented it for two weeks this year. This year was exceptional also! The most beautiful views all day and the most beautiful sunsets you’ll ever find in Michigan. Owners are every responsive, cleanliness top notch, beds comfortable and full kitchen. Great memories made for my family!

Perfect

Our family enjoyed a great week in Pentwater. The beach house was clean and inviting. We enjoyed the secluded beach, wooded areas, and the amazing views from the deck. Thank you Sue for sharing your beach house with us.
