About this property

Lakeview Cottage: A Cozy Getaway Near the Beach

Escape to a charming cottage located in the historic neighborhood of Strawberry Pointe. You will love this 3-bedroom Cape Cod home situated on a large double lot with fenced in private backyard. Enjoy a sand surround firepit, gas grill and charming garden as you relax after a day of play. There is ample seating for outdoor dining or just hanging out and relaxing. Lakeside Beach is just a 10 minute walk from the cottage. The Lakeside Beach has a sandy beach area, restrooms, shelters with picnic tables and a deck with benches overlooking Spring Lake. Or take your favorite beverage just steps away to enjoy the beautiful sunset. Explore the bicycle path situated within walking distance from the cottage. A multi-million dollar overhaul has transformed Spring Lake to a choice destination with award-winning restaurants, roof top and tiki bars and unique shopping. Enjoy Tanglefoot Park featuring a gorgeous pavilion that hosts the beautiful farmers' market, grassy picnic areas, and a very popular splash park. Take the bicycle path into Grand Haven where there is never a lack of fun things to do. There you can walk the 1.5 mile boardwalk enjoying ice cream; shopping at the numerous boutiques & antique stops, or enjoying a beach day at the beautiful sandy shores of Lake Michigan, and end the day with the award winning musical fountain.

The Space
The home is located on a large double lot with a fenced in, private back yard situated in a very quiet neighborhood. This 3 bedroom home has 2 bedrooms located on the main level and 1 queen sized bedroom upstairs. The queen sized main floor bedroom has black out curtains that ease you into that perfect night's sleep. The cottage is equipped with a well stocked, full kitchen, comfortable living room and separate dining area. The upstairs has a small hallway area with an office desk and chair. Enjoy a stroll through the quiet, but friendly neighborhood which gives off an immediate "vacation vibe."

Guest access
Guests will have full, private access to the house and yard with the exception of the basement and garage. The basement keeps owner storage. The garage may be used to access beach toys and the beach cart. Keyless entry and self check-in is available.

Other things to note:
Grand Haven State Park is a quick four mile drive, or a short scenic bike ride on the bike path, that extends all the way into Grand Haven and beyond. What does Spring Lake and Grand Haven have to offer? Award winning beaches, beautiful hiking trails, the 2nd largest waterfront musical fountain in the world (2nd to the Bellagio Resort in Las Vegas), boutique and antique shopping, local art, and waterfront dining and beach strolls.
A few local favorite establishments are within walking distance including: The Village Baker, Finns Chophouse, Two Tony's Italian Kitchen and Wine Bar, TEDS, Burger Theory and Tiki Bar, and Stan's Bar, a locals' favorite; all offering comfortable outdoor dining options.

We have everything you need to make your vacation relaxing. Games, beach toys, beach chairs and umbrella are available for use. Kayaks are available for a minimal fee. Life Jackets must be worn and waivers must be signed prior to use.

Family visit

The cottage is very clean and cozy. It had everything we needed for our short stay in Spring Lake. I loved the quiet neighborhood, walking/bike path, and small public beach walking distance from property. The quick access to Grand Haven was also a plus. Hope to visit again soon.

About the host

Host profile image
I'm a retired school counselor and I enjoy spending my spare time taking care of this cottage and making sure that it is a place where families can come to take refuge, relax and make beautiful memories. I am a mother of four children. Summer vacations with my children stand out as my most treasured memories. I am so happy to have the opportunity to extend this possibility to you and yours.

Pure Michigan has captured my heart with all of it's natural beauty. The beautiful shores of Lake Michigan, the many scenic lakes, towering sand dunes, wandering hiking trails, starry skies and so many outdoor sporting opportunities.

I am a new host on VRBO, but I have many years of experience as a Super host on another travel site.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this neighborhood because of the "vacation vibe" that I instantly sensed. The people are friendly, it's quiet and safe. It's just a happy place to be. Beauty surrounds you. There is a park that is very close by where you can play basketball or pickleball. There is a beautiful farmers market. If you are a foodie, you will enjoy the many options. I especially enjoy the outdoor dining options in the summertime, There are many opportunities for free outdoor summer concerts in both Spring Lake and Grand Haven.
Water views will surround you throughout the Spring Lake and Grand Haven areas.

What makes this property unique

The neighborhood is lovely, and this home is situated on one of the largest lots-- allowing for privacy and plenty of space to relax outside during your vacation getaway. The home is very clean and decorated tastefully with comfortable furniture. The home is stocked with everything I can think of to assure that you enjoy a comfortable stay. I live just a short distance away, and am available to you if you should need anything.
