About this property

Cozy efficiency upper, a short walk downtown. Pet friendly with large backyard!

Welcome to Eagle's Nest, your affordable retreat in the heart of Old Town, Grand Haven. Perfect for up to 4 adults, this cozy one-bedroom apartment is upstairs in a classic duplex, offering vintage charm with modern comforts. Enjoy the tranquility of Old Town while being a short walk from downtown attractions. Friendly pets are welcome with an additional cleaning charge. Relax in the large shared backyard. Experience the best of Grand Haven at Eagle's Nest!

Location:
Relax or explore in the historic Old Town neighborhood of Grand Haven. Just minutes from the vibrant downtown area, Eagle's Nest provides easy access to local attractions, including the scenic boardwalk, sandy beaches, and historic lighthouses. With charming shops, eateries, and entertainment options nearby, you'll have everything you need for a quiet getaway.

Accommodation:
Featuring one bedroom and one small bathroom, our cozy retreat is perfect for a couple, and can accommodate up to four adults. Despite its older charm, the interior is lovingly maintained and offers cozy amenities for a comfortable stay. Please note there is a significant stairway leading upstairs. Also, as others have mentioned, the doorway to the bedroom is quite short compared to today's standards. Watch your head!

Amenities
- Efficiency kitchen with mini refrigerator, stove, microwave, and basic kitchen essentials
- Complimentary Wi-Fi access
- Smart TV with Netflix for entertainment
- Cozy bedding and linens provided
- Private entrance with contactless check-in
- Parking available on street
- Large backyard, perfect for pets to roam and play

Pet-Friendly:
Eagle's Nest welcomes well-behaved pets to join you during your stay! With a spacious backyard to explore, your four-legged companions can play while you soak up the sun. Please note a pet fee does apply.

Outdoor Space:
Whether you're catching rays on the patio or gathering around the fire pit for a sunset bonfire, you'll love spending time in our spacious backyard. Please note, the backyard is not fully fenced, and is shared between the upper and lower units.

Local Attractions:
Explore the best of Grand Haven, from sandy beaches and scenic parks to charming shops and delicious dining options. Don't miss the chance to hit the waves at Grand Haven State Park, where surf adventures await, or simply relax on the shores of Lake Michigan.

Your Hosts:
As longtime residents of Grand Haven, we're stoked to welcome you to Eagle's Nest. At one point we called this place home for several years. Whether you need recommendations for local surf spots or assistance with anything during your stay, we're here to ensure you have a rad time.

Other:
Please note that Eagle's nest is an older structure, and has some 'charm'. The floors squeak, and as others have noted, there's an unusually short bedroom door by today's standards. We've found most guests are OK with these details, but please keep this in mind when booking.

Super cute with good location

Perfect for our needs, but good idea to be aware that the staircase steps leading up to this 2nd floor rental are very narrow and the bedroom doorway is short (watch your head). Nonetheless, we loved it and will be back again.

Perfect holiday hideout!

This was the perfect place to stay and work near family during the Thanksgiving holiday! It's walkable to the waterfront and the neighborhood is nice and quiet. The hosts are super friendly and the yard was great for my dog (it's not fully fenced in though, so make sure to bring a leash!). Would absolutely stay here again.

Great Short Stay

Stayed at the property for a few nights. The location is perfect if you want to be close to downtown and the channel but far enough removed that it's not loud or chaotic. The beach is further, but you can catch the trolley just a few minutes walk from the location to get there. The unit itself is cozy and comfortable with a lot of little extra amenities not pictured in the listing (games, kitchenware, etc)

Cute and convenient

We stayed here for a few days while visiting Grand Haven, South Haven, Sugatuak, and Holland Michigan. The house is in town and very convenient for travelers. We found the house to be clean and welcoming! We particularly loved that we could bring our pets :) We would definitely recommend this location to others!

Cute & Clean

The property is tiny and tidy! It felt like a treehouse. Definitely spacious enough for three people, but with a compact, tiny-house feel. Everything was perfectly clean and welcoming. Loved using the firepit in the back yard.

Eagles Nest Evaluation.

Watch out for the Bedroom Door -5'4". Steep Stairs. Refrigerator is very tiny and out of reach. We also got "Doubled Booked". People were checking in "our occupied" unit at 11:30 PM The front lawn could be kept in belter condition. LEVEL the floors - too many different steps/levels through out the apartment.

My 2023 summer vacation lodging experience.

It's all about location, location, location. The place worked well for me as a result of this.It's small (cozy) though and an item of note is the bedroom door opening being 5'4" tall. While I possibly missed this in the listing when booking,it was a bit of a challenge to not hit your head on the door frame.One must adapt and overcome to situations in life when they arise though. I simply placed the linen basket in the middle of the doorway as a reminder. Other than that, the place was great for me.I want to mention that having to use a key to lock the door did seem a bit odd, considering it has an electronic lock.It would be hard to beat the location though with this property! The host were also very nice and the neighborhood appeared to be very safe as well.It's also close to a small community park.

Apartment for little people

Double bed mattresses needs replacing, very uncomfortable. The windows need blinds or shades. The living room needs lamps on end tables besides couch. The opening to bedroom is 5 feet 4 inches. My husband is 6 feet and banged his head a few times. The TV in the bedroom did not work. The trash can was filled to the brim on Sunday, we checked in on Saturday. The dog downstairs tried to attack our 2 dogs when we tried to bring them to back yard. Our dogs were on leashes. We then had to walk our dogs to the park. We left 1 day early.

Perfect one bedroom

This property was perfect for us. Easy check-in, I was able to park on the street directly in front of the property. It was clean and had the amenities we needed. Close enough to walk to the downtown area for adults and older children. A park within walking distance for younger children. A nice backyard for kids and dogs to play and a good neighborhood with a bakery, coffee shop, and a couple restaurants within 1/4mi. or less. I would stay here again!

Cute place

Even though it’s not right in town it’s a good location. Easy to get to town and beach walk, bike ride or drive. A plus is it’s a 3 minute walk to restaurants, coffee shop, and ice cream parlor.

Gabriel was very helpful during booking as well as when we were there :) Very clean, well located home. Neighborhood feels safe and quiet. Enjoyed a lovely Bonfire in the evening. Being tall the only challenge was the door jam going into the bedroom is very low.

Cozy for a couple or small family!

We enjoyed our time here. The property was good for a couple or small family. Comfy beds and a great location. Lots to do within walking distance and even more within a short drive. Nice amenities and had everything we needed for a long weekend. Some of the entryways are low and the bathroom is a tight fit but it was just fine for a short weekend! Just be careful if anyone is over 6ft!

All the basics you need in a good location.

Gabriel was a superior host in communication, making us feel welcome. We're so grateful to have found a place in a good location close to all GH fun, and was dog friendly, too. There is a stairway with narrow treads, plus low door openings, also a small bathroom, so if you can work with those, it's a good place to stay. Close to everything with a charming dog friendly park nearby, too. Was clean, quiet.

Why they chose this property

At one point we called 'Ruby's Retreat' (the downstairs unit) home for several years. Once we moved away from the area, we had to share the location and allow others to experience this quiet corner of old town.

What makes this property unique

Most of Grand Haven can be quite busy in the summer months. This area is a perfect little corner of old town that keeps you away from the busy downtown area, but is still close enough to walk anywhere you'd like.
