About this property

Charming Lake Michigan Getaway w/Private Beach Access and large yard

This home is one of 8 houses in a secluded Lake Michigan bluff neighborhood. A country home where no attention to detail has been spared. It's a perfect getaway from the city or a great meeting place for family and friends! There is a private association beach conveniently located a few houses down (less than 5 min walk).

The main house can sleep up to 12 adults. There is also a 2 bedroom coach house located above the garage that can accommodate an additional 4 adults. This space can be added onto your reservation for an additional $300 per night if additional space is needed. If you do not wish to rent this space, please note that it may be rented out during your stay; however there is a separate entrance and parking from the main house and there are no shared walls. Guests in the coach house do not have access to the patio, yard, or any of the main house amenities. Please let the host know if you are interested in adding the coach house onto your reservation.

Please Note: Our house is located at the top of a bluff. To access the beach will require you to walk down a long set of stairs and may not be ideal for all age groups. We offer a complimentary parking pass to Silver Beach in case this is a more convenient option for your group.

The house offers all the amenities you need to enjoy a comfortable stay. The kitchen is fully equipped with a refrigerator, range, and dishwasher. For the coffee lovers, we have a quaint little coffee bar featuring both a Keurig and full pot coffee maker. There is also a large dining table that can comfortably seat your party. The living room offers plenty of seating and a large flat screen smart tv. Enjoy a relaxing meal on the back patio featuring a full sized Weber gas grill, or cozy up by the outdoor fire table in the evenings.

Walk the singing sands of Lake Michigan beach, watch the ever-changing sunsets, take in 18 holes at the premier Harbor Shores golf course, enjoy sipping the finest local wines at one of the many southwest Michigan wineries, celebrate the spectacular colors of autumn or sip hot cocoa in front of the fireplace on a snowy day. Whatever the season, the experience is always inspiring and delightful.

Take a short drive on scenic highway M-63, hugging the Lake Michigan shoreline, north to South Haven or south to St. Joseph and find good food, live music/theater, unique shops, museums, and art galleries. Each town has its own lighthouse and boat-filled harbors, featuring individual charm and unique attractions -- memories you will cherish forever!

Exceptional for family beach vacations
With years of family vacations under our belt, the general consensus was that this was the best house we've ever stayed at. Spacious, well stocked and equipped, beautiful decor and the beach was close and beautiful. A note of caution regarding beach access for elderly navigating the path to the beach, Overall, we want to return next year.

Perfect for our family
I really cannot think of one thing that could have made this place more perfect for our growing family. We had a large gathering place for catching up at meals, enough room for kids to little ones to play, private beach nearby. I was unsure how I felt about the private beach w/ no lifeguard but my daughters in law pointed out the benefits of less stress for keeping an eye on the little ones. The owner was very prompt in her responses and communicated things we needed to now quickly. We had a great time!

Beautiful house/ gorgeous beach!
The house is very nice, clean, and the pictures were accurate. We met up with friends and had the most enjoyable relaxed beach trip. The shared private beach that is just a short walk from the house was the best part! Highly recommend!

Very cute and comfortable lake house!
We really like how spacious the house was, and how close it is to Lake Michigan! The back porch and fire pit were so nice. When we got there the lawn was not mowed so it looked a bit un-kept, but then the next morning the lawn crew was there mowing and it looked much better! While the house was very nice and comfortable, I think that it could be updated a bit to justify the price, as I truthfully felt that it was a little steep--but overall we felt good about it because the quick beach access was awesome and the house was very comfortable :) Thank you!

This house was perfect for our family! It was well stocked with anything you could need, including coffee, spices, and laundry soap to name a few. The private beach access was only used for sunrises/sunsets. The public beaches were very nice and a short 10 minute drive away. Our family loved the spacious backyard & fire pit. We loved this house!

Perfect location and amenities!
We stayed at this house for our yearly Lake Michigan getaway. We had 7 adults and 6 kids and with the guest house, this was a PERFECT location for us. There was ample room, a huge backyard, and private beach access just a short walk away. We absolutely loved this house and after over 9 years of family vacations, we all agreed this was our best one yet! We will definitely be back!

Perfect location!
This house is great! Super clean and additional little bedrooms for the kiddos. The location is very private and the walk to the beach is short (though there are a lot of stairs). The coach house is also just as beautiful! Thank you for such a wonderful week!

Nineteen Years and Counting...
Our first year at Sweet Sara's was in 2004 and we've been coming back ever since (except for the Covid era). This is our sacred space for so many family memories. Kids that were in diapers the first year are now married or graduated from college, etc. Katie was a wonderful, accommodating host for our group. She was communicative and the process was simple enough. The house has always been lovely. The beaches have returned (after a few years with high water). Maple Ave was a familiar, shady, daily walk to the bluff. Just a great time, and bittersweet as we contemplate the future of our gatherings as dynamics change... Thank you so much, Katie!

Lovely Long Weekend
Three families came together to spend a long weekend at this home. We had 7 adults and 5 children and it worked perfectly for us. The bedroom setup allows parents to have their kids in the next room over. Those rooms are a little small but worked fine as we spent most of our time in the spacious living and kitchen area, as well as, the patio and the beach. The stairs down to the beach added some effort but we found it doable as we would set up for the day and go to and from the beach as needed. It was great having the beach to ourselves - we played beach baseball and didn't have to worry about anyone besides the occasional passerby. We took one trip in to South Haven for half a day. It was about a 20 minute drive. The rest of our time was spent at the house. We had a great stay!

Finally found the perfect spot
We love visiting SW Michigan and keep trying different spots to suit our 4 households family. The yard, the beach access, proximity to favorite haunts in St. Joe and the property itself won us over! Large dining area- outside dining, bedrooms for children inside the bedrooms for parents- second floor laundry. Highly recommended! Did I mention easy parking for all our cars?

Perfect cozy area and home!
We had a great stay here! The house was perfect for our family. It was very easy to get to and not far from towns and interstate access for easy traveling. We had a couple young kids with us and it was perfect for them too. I think the ONLY thing that could have been described better would be the stairs to the private beach. For a family that was a lot more than we anticipated getting up and down. We did it and still had a blast! The private beach was beautiful! But the stairs will wear you out. The host was amazing and so easy to communicate with as well! I was very impressed overall. Highly recommend!

Look no further!
What can I say, that hasn’t already been said. This place is outstanding. My supper club and I had a wonderful experience here. We came for a weekend and to check out the winery trail. This home has it all. I asked all 8 ladies what they loved most about this home, here it goes. 1) The ceiling fans in each room are wonderful! 2) Beds are so comfortable, it was easy to fall asleep! 3) the outdoor furniture was very welcoming and accommodated every person. 4) outdoor gas fireplace was wonderful and welcoming. 5) Gas grill was great. The gas was connected to the gas line on the house so we didn’t have to be concerned that we had gas or that it would run out on us! *grill is BRAND NEW!! 6) The house was extremely clean! 7) there are a lot of magazines and comfortable couches. It’s so welcoming and easy to sit down play board games or read a book. 8) we walked down nightly to check out the sunset on the beach! Beautiful, quiet and peaceful beach. 9) the wrap around porch was perfect for our morning coffee talks. 10) plenty of spices, zip lock bags, laundry soap and cleaning supplies. We like going home with clean laundry and needed baggies for our leftover dinners, It was so great! The wineries are 20 minutes from the house, St Joe 10 minutes. Everything was in close proximity. We will be back! We had an outstanding time at your home. Thank you for having us into your home!
