About this property

Waterfront home on Lake Michigan with views of St Helena Island Lighthouse

This is a two bedroom home located on the Straits of Mackinac, Lake Michigan. This house is in a quiet residential neighborhood, but private, with only one house close next door. The deck and back yard facing the waterfront. All amenities including WiFi, washer/dryer, fully stocked kitchen, 12 cup coffee pot, toaster, air conditioning (in season will be installed in windows) and small portable tabletop charcoal grill are available. There is a fire pit on the beach front property to the east of the house. Location is 5 miles west of the Mackinac bridge on Gros Cap Rd, with views of St Helena Island Lighthouse and from the shore, you get views of the south end of the Mackinac Bridge. The beach here is rocky, but water accessible for swimming; water shoes are recommended. Sandy dunes are located approximately 5 miles west of the house, for all day sunbathing and swimming. Located within 5 miles of Mackinac Island Ferry Boats, many restaurants and tourist shopping. Also, close to hiking trails and snowmobile trails. We have some of the most incredible sunsets.
