About this property

Lakefront Modern Mansion With Heated Pool 9BR's On Private Sandy Beach

Imagine a modern and luxurious mansion with a heated swimming pool on the most stunning sandy beach in Michigan with enough room for the whole family and dramatic beach views. Sandpiper caters to those seeking an atmosphere of refinement and exclusivity. Lifelong memories and treasured family traditions are created here. With over 7,000 sq ft, 9 bedrooms, and 11 baths, Sandpiper offers your group both privacy and luxury. Each of the professionally decorated bedrooms has a king or queen size bed, en suite baths, a/c, fireplace, sitting area, and screened porch with stunning view. The heated swimming pool overlooking the beach and lake is delightful. The living room room is spacious and faces the sunset. The ample dining room seats up to 16. The screened porch facing the lake is the perfect spot to watch the surf and enjoy the sunset. The kitchen is as beautiful as it is practical. The professional grade Wolf range with griddle and double ovens is a chefs dream. Two oversized Miele refrigerators and large freezer hold platters and much more. Two ice makers keep things cool. The oversized natural quartzite island is a piece of art with abundant room for gathering. The artisan Amish cabinets contain every serving piece and appliance you need. The lake view from the kitchen is stunning.

Bed sheets are fresh and luxurious. Bath and beach towels are abundant and fluffy. Beds are dreamy with memory foam mattresses. A washer and dryer is available for your use. A back up generator ensures electricity is never lost. Oversized smart tv with full comcast cable channels.

Relax and enjoy the shade of the beach gazebo. It's a leisurely 60 steps from your house to the wide private association beach. Beach chairs and umbrellas are provided. Winter is perfect for warming up by the cozy fireplace after skiing or a football game. Your beach paradise is only 75 minutes from Chicago. Close to farmers markets, wineries, brewery's, casinos, outlet malls, Warren Dunes, antique stores, Acorn Theater, Redamak's, and Notre Dame. The restaurant and night life options are excellent, but you will find it hard to leave this oasis of lake, beach, and luxury. Sandpiper is truly unique and will not disappoint the most discerning traveler. Treat your family to the Lake Michigan vacation of your dreams.

Be aware: Your private backyard pool is 5 feet deep and swimming is at your own risk.

July 4th week
Our family stayed at this property the week of July 4th 2023 and we all said what a great property it is and that we loved our stay there - including my wife, who is particular. Kathleen, the manager, is very good, pays attention to detail and is available. You will not be disappointed with this selection.

Absolutely Beautiful
Just returned from a long weekend and it was absolutely perfect. The property manager is so easy to work with and truly makes you feel at home. The house itself if stunning and the views amazing. Had multiple families with kids and everyone had plenty of room to spread out. The heated pool was a huge hit as well as being able to walk down to the beach. There was no need to leave the property!!!

Like your own private luxury oceanfront hotel
Our family of 13 from Chicago (ages 1-70) were looking for our first post-COVID vacation. This place was perfect and exceeded our expectations. This portion of beach was so much better than ones we have visited in Florida and elsewhere. It sits on an extended shallow portion of beach perfect for kids and is clean with relatively few other people around. The rooms and common spaces are all well appointed and comfortable. All rooms have private baths because the place was previously a B&B. The kitchen was spectacular. Our family cooks a lot and it allowed for 6+ people separately prepping food with plenty of space. Kathleen was attentive to all of our questions and requests, which helped greatly with the planning. We could not believe such a place existed so close to Chicago and we hope to return again next year.

Absolute Gem on Lake Michigan
Our extended family had the pleasure of staying at the Sandpiper for a week this past August. The booking process was easy, and communication with the letting agent fantastic. The property looked beautiful in the online pictures but it impressed us even more in person. Very large, bright, comfortable rooms throughout the house and the finishes in the kitchen and bathrooms were all at a very high standard. The kitchen was stocked with more amenities than my own home! There are a fair number of steps down to the Lake, but they are shallow, easy steps with a well thought-out bench halfway down for a rest if needed (for my 85 year old father!). We noticed that Sandpiper was one of the few homes along this stretch of Lake Michigan that still had plenty of sandy beach - high lake levels have swallowed the others further down the shoreline. We felt very lucky indeed to have spent a week of glorious summer in this spot and would rent again without question. Thank you Sandpiper!

Second stay as good as the first
My extended family of 17 stayed at Sandpiper for the week. We are ages 13-82. The house is perfection, cooked in a lot in the very large well-equipped gourmet kitchen. The rooms are huge and comfortable. We had great beach space this year, for which we feel fortunate. Kathleen, the property manager is available, communicates well, and is responsive. You will not be disappointed.

Home Away from Home
Quite simply, no better home to enjoy on Lake Michigan with 18 people spanning 3 generations. This has become one of our favorite places to spend a week every year. The home and he hospitality are just the best you could ask for. Thanks for letting us share you great property!

Over the top property
Wow, Sandpiper is a gorgeous house on a lovely beach in great area of Michigan. Everything about the house was head and shoulders above other homes I’ve rented: all beautifully decorated with everything you need including comfortable beds, luxury linens, lots of extra touches. Beach is all sand no rocks. Many excellent restaurants and shops nearby. It’s less than 2 hours from Chicago but feels like another world. Highly recommended

Three Generations of Fun
Our family stayed at the Sandpiper Inn at the end of July 2017 to celebrate my parents' 80th birthdays. We had a fantastic time, so much so, that my Dad wants to rent it again in 2 years. It is very clean, accommodates, 18 people very well, and is in a great location. As most of the area beaches in the area are struggling to keep their beaches with Lake Michigan being very high, this is a bit of an issue at Sandpiper as well. I would suggest that this photo with the beach stretching out is a few years old. Getting to the beach can be challenging because of the erosion, especially for the elderly. We were able to enjoy full beach days, though, and if you walk a little to the left or right, the beach is wider. Also, there is a great sunning area on the bluff which can accommodate everyone. The kitchen is amazing, fully stocked with all serving and eating needs. We cooked a lot and the kitchen was definitely our central gathering place. We had a few meals catered by Classic Catering, they were very accommodating and provided good food. Our entire family would highly recommend Sandpiper Inn for your vacation needs! Have fun!
