Large 3 bedroom home available for summer weekly/monthly rental. Master is big enough for the queen bed and pack and plays if you bring them. Middle bedroom has a queen and a twin and still plenty of room. The dining room is so large it has 2 dining tables and sits 14 easily. Fully equipped kitchen and spacious comfortable living room! Built in 1918, this historic duplex has been beautifully remodeled and cared for. The front porch faces 5th street, and every evening a 20 minute walk takes you to the end of the Grand Haven pier to watch the sunset; your own 'Key West' experience in Michigan. Our home is located in a quaint neighborhood and is just minutes from Lake Michigan beaches, downtown shopping, restaurants and fun! A 10 minute walk takes you to the local YMCA and the area's Imagination Station, tennis & pickleball courts and skate park.There are nine restaurants, two coffee shops and a bakery within 10 blocks featuring everything from pizza to sushi to seafood to Italian to steaks. Fast food includes gyros, Italian beef , hot dogs, fried chicken and burgers. Something to please everyone. Everyone loves to sit on the porch and watch the world go by. Very charming neighborhood, our home is across the street from an exceptional 7000 sq ft mansion built in 1874 now used as a B&B.

Overall we had a great time, the house was big enough to fulfill our needs. The parking situation is a little tricky, but other then that nothing to complain about.
Property is perfectly located just a short walk to downtown. Property owner was very responsive and helpful during our stay. Would highly recommend staying here.
This is the perfect property for your trip! Great location and beautiful house, with plenty of room. Brett is great and made our stay extremely comfortable.
Enjoyed the house creaking steps and all. Need bed upgrades soon.
Lake michigan is the best lake!!!!!!!

Beautiful old home
It was a lovely old home. We enjoyed our stay. The only thing we didn’t like was the distance from the town, very noisy street, no fire pit. I believe it said there was a hot tub but there isn’t. But it was great vacation home.
We had a wonderful stay. The home was clean, spacious for our family. Close to the waterfront and activities. Hosts were quick with communication. Onsite parking was convenient. Street traffic was noisy at times, but not enough to deter us. Beds were comfortable. Fully stocked with kitchen supplies. And onsite laundry was very convenient. Would definitely stay here again!
We really enjoyed our stay! Located conveniently close to downtown Grand Haven, we really enjoyed walking to shop and visit the local attractions. The house was very comfortable for our family, has a very spacious dining area, and the porch is a great place to hang out! Also, the owner is very responsive if an issue arises which is a definite plus!
We had a very nice stay. Location was great to downtown. Plenty of room - comfortable furniture - nice big dining room table!! Thank you. Would definitely come back!!!!
Last week was our second stay in this rental, and we enjoyed it even more this time. Kitchen was remodeled since our last visit, and there were new furnishings and bedding. The home is very roomy and in the perfect location--a few blocks from downtown and a short drive to the beach. Highly recommended!
We stayed for 5 nights in June and had a wonderful time. Everything was as described in the listing and we had everything we needed. We loved the character and charm of the house - it’s spacious and great for a family trip. Jamie was great to work with and very responsive. I would definitely recommend!
The house was lovely. 100 year-old beauty, updated and done in a cool, beachy palette. Having the beach chairs, towels, umbrella and wagon on hand was a definite plus. Nice to be so close to the beach and shops. Communication with property manager/owner was outstanding -- timely and super helpful!
Grand Haven is a beautiful little town on The Grand River/Lake Michigan. The house was in walking distance to everything. Our family of 8 adults fit comfortably. We would definitely stay again at the house.
We had an amazing time!! The location of
This property was perfect. Our whole family enjoyed our stay! The wagon, beach towels and toys were definitely appreciated! We will be back! Thank you!!!!
Charming home and very well-equipped for our stay. Very clean! Close to town and walked to dinner most nights. Front porch is great place to sit if you don’t mind the house sitting in corner of busy residential intersection.
We just stayed for a week in this house with my family who has been going to Grand Haven for 9 years. We have stayed in many houses and this was one of the best. It was a bit farther from downtown and the beach than we usually do but that was our fault for not looking closer at the map when booking. It helped us get our steps in. It is an older house but has a new feel with the furnishings. It is very kid friendly as well. The second/downstairs bathroom is small but still perfect for an extra bathroom when needed. Overall, this was a great house.

Great for a Grand Haven Get-Away!
Great location near Grand Have State Park, Grand River boardwalk and downtown Grand Haven. Many fun things to do in the area with kids including a great park called Mulligan's Hollow. Just 20 minutes from Michigan's Adventure. The house was clean and the perfect size for our 7 party group. We really enjoyed sitting on the front porch and relaxing while watching butterflies and bees flit around the butterfly bush. The owners were very responsive and the house had just about everything you might need including a wagon and beach gear. Would definitely stay here again! One complaint: the bed was uncomfortable so I didn't sleep well.

Older, cozy duplex
This property was visited by my two sisters and me. It is on the corner of a street that has quite a bit of traffic, especially in the morning and evening rush hour. It is an older home with lovely wood floors, but they are pretty creaky. The rental was listed as a 3 bedroom, 2 bath duplex. We enjoyed having our own room, however, there was only one full bath upstairs and a very small half bath on the main floor. This would definitely cause a problem if you had 4 - 6 people. The kitchen had pretty much what we needed, although if you want aluminum foil, plastic wrap, baggies of any size, you should bring your own. Also, a small thing would be a box of tissues in the house. We ended up using TP :)
The rental was located very close to town which you could walk to, but we chose to drive. All in all, we enjoyed our stay, but most likely would not choose this property in the future.
This house was great! We stayed with our 4 kids (ages 11 months to 8 years). While the house doesn't have a yard, we spent most of our time at the beach or walking around town. There is a great park (Mulligan's Hollow) just 1/2 mile way away. The house itself was clean. The house easily slept 5 (we had our baby in the pack and play, so we technically slept 6). You could have fit a 6th person on the sleeper sofa in the upstairs, but that would be 3 people in one room. When we tried to use the grill there wasn't any propane and the owners promptly got a replacement for us to continue making dinner. The doors to the bedrooms do not close easily and the floors creak a lot no matter how you try to step on them. That is what happens when a house is 100 years old. This wasn't a deal breaker for us since we use noise makers while our kids sleep. We loved having a washer and dryer to clean towels/suits after the beach. They provided a wagon, beach towels, and beach chairs which was perfect for our trips to the state park! The neighborhood was adorable with so many beautiful old homes.
Jamie clearly takes pride in the property, and was a great host. Well equipped unit, spotlessly clean. You can walk, bike or drive to downtown or the State Park. This was the perfect spot for our family during our week at the beach!

About the host
Hosted by Jamie Sievertsen
We love Grand Haven and love to entertain families having a wonderful time. We lived on one side of this duplex and are now renting it to families and friends.
Why they chose this property
This place is perfect, on a direct walk to the beach or all the restaurant and stores within 5 blocks! 8 ice cream stores within walking distance!! A historical home, tall ceilings, big rooms downstairs and 3 bedrooms upstairs and well maintained with new furnishings. Huge basement to store your bikes or extra beach equipment.
What makes this property unique
Your front porch is perfect for the morning cup of coffee, a leisurely lunch or to watch the Coast Guard Festival parade go by! On a much traveled bike and walking/jogging route.
