Perfect Place to Stay

My family has been visiting Grand Haven for 10 years. This was our 9th Mother’s Day spent in this wonderful city. This is our favorite place that we’ve stayed in so far. It was absolutely perfect! We loved how organized and clean it was. The location is great. We even were able to use the bikes to ride around in town.

Home away from home

I have rented several homes through VRBO and the owners of this one may be the easiest we have ever worked with. They had everything set and ready for us to check in and be comfortable for our stay. We were even notified that we could check in early if we wanted. We were a bit intimidated by the smart home features, but seri became a useful tool when needing the weather in the mornings before adventuring for the day. Grand Haven did not disappoint either. This was our second time staying in this lovely town and highly recommend.

Perfect location-lovely home away from home!

I rented this condo with 4 other professional women, visiting Grand Haven for a long weekend. Let me start by saying the most obvious. The condo is in a perfect location, is just as in the pictures with minor updates in decor, the decor is impeccable, and the cleanliness is next level! Everything was just as described, well stocked and has all the amenities you’ll need for most situations. As well, everything was in working order and honestly, I can’t think of anything else to add except more detailed things that sets this apart from other properties. The “smart” amenities are superb! Great addition but do make sure you’re respectful in taking advantage of the nicely bound spiral notebook the owner has laid out for you to read on how to utilize these features, especially if you aren’t familiar with them. There’s been great care taken to help navigate the home, so we made sure to use this. The booklet also helps you make best use of your time in Grand Haven with a touch of local points and tips. Additional things that are amazing: The beds and pillows are comfy, a must for me. Sheets and blankets are plush! The water has PLENTY of pressure for showers, even if 2 are taken at once! The owners are generous with providing chairs, towels, AND bikes for a beach trip that’s just a mile up the road. The owner answers questions very quickly and is quite attentive. On top of all of this, even the surrounding renters were fun to talk to! Will stay again when in Grand Haven!

Property was one of the best we’ve stayed at. The attention to detail was so appreciated. Chargers in every room, Alexa’s for the kids to use, updates galore. Very clean, so user friendly! Garage stacked with bikes, beach gear, and other useful vacation oriented items. Beds are super comfortable, all lines pristine. Home was a 5 minute drive to the beach and 7 minute walk to downtown. Owners are very friendly! Highly recommend for any family!

Annual Soccer in the Sand Trip

We had a great stay at Portside Quarters. The rental was very clean and beautifully decorated. The beds were comfortable and there was ample space. Having the bikes and beach chairs was a wonderful addition making it easy for us to get to the beach and back without having to deal with the traffic. Communication was excellent and every aspect of the stay was seamless right down to QR codes making things like joining the wifi and checking the check out instructions simple and straight forward. I highly recommend staying here.

About the host

Hosted by Thomas VanderPloeg

In today's busy world, a vacation is a precious opportunity to relax and reconnect with loved ones. Spending that valuable time in a real live home can be especially rewarding, from cooking breakfast together each morning to playing board games every night. Our mission is simple: We value the relationships with our guests. We vow to solve issues in a fair and timely manner that show understanding to everyone involved. We strive to make each vacation a simple and stress-free experience.

I grew up in Grand Haven many years ago and although I have moved a short distance away I still consider it home. My wife, Kelly, grew on the east side of Michigan but fell in love with Grand Haven after a single visit. I recall fondly playing on the beach with the singing sand, riding my bike around town and watching the Musical Fountain with my family. Grand Haven has grown up a lot since then. Kelly & I knew that we wanted to own and rent a home of our own here and share with people like us the fun, beauty, and relaxation Grand Haven has to offer.

Kelly and I recently purchased this newly constructed Grand Haven condominium. We think we have made it into a wonderful place to call home for a week's vacation in the summer. Our family enjoys the weeks that we spend here but we are happy to share our second home with renters looking to enjoy the beaches and explore Grand Haven!

If you have any questions about our vacation condo, please feel free to call or email me at any time! I'd love to tell you all about our favorite place in Michigan.

Tom & Kelly
