About this property

Designer home across from beach, big yard, fire pit, 3 blks to park/playground

Welcome to Vue du Lac! Situated in the idyllic village of Grand Beach, this newly constructed designer home has a cool West Coast aesthetic. Curated with furniture and fixtures from Anthropologie, Serena and Lily, Restoration Hardware and Pottery Barn. Added bonus...Gray Malin artwork throughout! This home features an open concept living space with an abundance of natural light filtering through the many windows. With 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, a large living room and dining area, this home has plenty of space to spread out, relax and enjoy. In addition, there is an 800 sq ft deck that invites you to dine al fresco, curl up with your favorite book or take in the spectacular Grand Beach sunsets. After a long sun soaked day at the beach, gather around the fire pit roasting marshmallows and sharing stories of the day. One of the highlights of this home is it's premier location. Vue du Lac sits just across the street from the main beach access, and is just 3 short blocks to the park/playground, golf course, tennis and basketball courts. Vue du Lac is also just a short drive to other nearby activities, beaches, restaurants, wineries/breweries and shopping. Vue du Lac is a gem in the heart of Grand Beach and we can't wait to have you here!

Perfect Vacation Getaway

We had an amazing family vacation at this house! The house is stunning and perfectly decorated. We enjoyed the beach right across the front yard as well as the bonfire pit. There is an outdoor shower which is perfect for cleaning off all the sand after a day at the beach. The outdoor patio was a great place to relax at the end of the day and watch the sunset on Lake Michigan. Gina was a great host and very responsive. We would 10/10 recommend staying here. We hope to visit again!

Family reunion

My adult children from all over the country came together for a week in Michigan. The house was perfect for our needs. We enjoyed all Grand Beach has to offer. We rode bikes, hiked in the dunes, swam, enjoyed fires outside at night. We cooked for each other in the lovely kitchen and ate outside the deck every night.

Fun family vacation, beautiful home

Our family with 6 adults and 3 kids 4YO and under had a great stay. The house is beautifully furnished and the location is fantastic right across from stairs down to the beach. We enjoyed spending time on the back porch and kids loved playing in the grass. The main downside was that the house has incredibly thin walls (new construction?) so would suggest bringing sound machines and earplugs. This was not ideal for a family with young kids that need to nap during the day, go to bed early, and wake up earlier than others.

A Fabulous Time was had by All!

Our extended family was able to have a wonderful vacation at Gina's place. The home was beautiful, roomy and had all the amenities we needed! It was the perfect location to explore the beach and playground. We loved the deck and fire pit and wonderful family memories were made. We plan to book again next year! Thanks so much for the opportunity to enjoy your place! Joe and Cheryl

Wonderful house and location

An absolutely beautiful home with everything you need to make it a relaxing time. Great house for families. Beach was perfect, with access directly across the street. House sits on a quiet one way street. Roasting marshmallows at the fire pit, quick walk down to the beach, beautiful deck and home to relax—perfection! Gina is responsive to any questions. We will be back!

Beautiful, modern home

This property is beautiful! It sits within a very quiet community with views of the lake. The beach itself is a bit small and rocky, so we preferred nearby New Buffalo beach, but it allowed for gorgeous sunsets and just that peaceful feeling of being near water. We have small kids and they enjoyed the nearby playground as well. The house is close to everything and the property manager was very responsive and nice.

Our family loved staying at this beautiful home in Grand Beach! It was immaculate, a great design/lay out, and fully equipped with everything you could ever need!

This property was AMAZING . The view from the deck was spectacular and the beach access was right across the street. We enjoyed going down the short path and watching the sunset nightly ! The neighborhood is quiet and friendly . We did have a few issues with the MBR ROKU, but Gina and her husband took care of all of our needs ! Great friendly hosts! I will definitely be coming back and staying longer !! BOOK THIS HOUSE ! GREAT FAMILY MEMORIES !

Lake time and family time

We travel every summer to stay with extended family at the lake and this was the first time we stayed in a house on our own. Can't say enough about this brand new wonderful lake cottage with views to the lake!!! We all want that kitchen, that bathroom and wow, that laundry room! Gina was the best host ever, so gracious and accommodating, and helped us with everything...even when our golf cart broke down. Cannot wait to return!

Lovely Getaway

My family loved staying at Gina’s property. Not only was the booking process streamlined, but she was great at communicating what we needed to know about the property itself and surrounding area. Extra bonus is that she is super lovely in person! As for the house itself, it is exactly as pictured- very chic, new, spacious, and well decorated. And because the house faces west, you can see Lake Michigan and the beautiful sunsets from inside and outside the house. All in all, we loved having this be our landing spot for exploring New Buffalo, Lakeside, and Union Pier over a long weekend.

Perfect weekend getaway

We had a family of 7 stay in this beautifully decorated home. The beds are comfortable, the bedding and the towels are 5 star quality. We enjoyed the very short walk to the beach and gorgeous sunsets. Beach access is right at the backyard and you can hear the waves crashing from the deck. Great photo ops for the golden hour. Easy access to the golf course. Kitchen ready for those who like to cook. The outdoor space is fabulous. Would definitely book again.

Perfection in Michigan!

If I could give this place 6 stars I would! The house is exactly as described and pictures don’t do the place justice. It’s beautifully designed and very very clean. It’s literally across this tiny street that lead to just a few stairs to a beach. Just an item of note on the beach to maybe bring water shoes because there are lots of rocks but kids LOVED collecting them and trying to make them skip. The sunset views from the house are magical and the open space was just what my family needed. We will definitely be staying there again!!! Like the other reviews stated, we really didn’t want to leave! Thanks to the wonderful hosts for having us!!
