About this property

Stunning Lake Michigan Views & Private Beach

This charming four-bedroom, 2.5-bath lake cottage has been completely renovated and transformed with an eye for detail and design. Fully renovated, Dune Crest combines perfectly appointed finishing and furnishings with upscale beachside decor, creating the perfect vacation ambiance. Step off the deck and walk across the dunes to the private beach or head down the driveway and use the boardwalk along Pigeon Lake for access. Either way, you are just steps from the famous Lake Michigan shoreline!

WHAT GUESTS ARE SAYING:
"Fantastic experience during our stay, great communication, beautiful location, and newly renovated lake home, couldn't ask for anything more! Just bring your shorts and swim suits, everything else is already taken care of"
Patrick I.

Nestled directly on Lake Michigan, this cottage offers a private beach and rolling dunes, providing endless, unobstructed views of the lake. Positioned just south of Pigeon Lake, there are no neighbors to the north, ensuring a tranquil setting and privacy.

INSIDE:
Enter through the back deck to discover the beautifully outfitted kitchen, featuring a breakfast nook, granite countertops, and stainless appliances. The sand room is located off the kitchen, houses a full bath and creates a space for easy storage and access to beach equipment, with direct access to the inviting lakefront deck.

Transition from the eat-in kitchen to the living area, nautical wine bar, window seat with built-in bookshelves, and stairs leading to the second level. The primary bedroom, with its own bath and a queen bed, has a window to the front porch and lake views. A spacious front porch runs along the entire lakefront side of the house while showcasing a dining table that seats 8 comfortably, with a comfortable seating area accented with nautical décor and offering stunning lake views.

The living room and porch both provide unmatched vistas, while a large deck on the southside is accessible from the sand room or the front porch. Watching sunsets from the inside porch or the outside deck is a favorite activity for our guests. Upstairs, three bedrooms await – one with two full-size beds and stunning views of the lake, and two with one full-size bed with underneath storage drawers. (Note, this is truly a cottage, and there is very little closet space.)

In addition to a private beach that is limited to Port Sheldon Beach Association residents and guests only, convenient access to both Holland and Grand Haven (each about 20-25 minutes away) enhances the property’s central location. Extensive bike trails abound and the association offers a popular pickle ball court, tennis courts, beach volleyball, athletic fields for lawn games and a sunset deck located just below the cottage for community gatherings or morning yoga.

Experience the best of both worlds with this picturesque Lake Michigan cottage, seamlessly blending the charm of the past with the luxury and conveniences of today.
Your ideal vacation awaits!

REVIEWS
"Dune Crest was an absolute dream and I give it a 10 out of 10 rating! You will not be disappointed so book your stay as soon as possible as I am sure it’s going to book up quickly. This beach house is perfection and has everything you need from a grill, to beach chairs, beach towels, all the essential kitchen items you will need to cook with, etc. And we couldn’t have asked for a better location…you are steps away from the beach which is the best part! The house was a perfect fit for an our family of five and the sunsets were simply magical to watch every evening. We loved our stay here and hope to book again for next year. Thank you Dune Crest for an unforgettable week… our family will never forget it:)"

Really beautiful place
Really beautiful cottage that has been tastefully remodeled top to bottom. Beautiful furnishings and the views are great! Nice rolling sand dunes walk to the beach which is nice compared to 100+ stairs down as you typically see along the lakeshore. So that was a big plus! The cottage was comfortable for 4 people (2 adults/2 kids) No tv which I personally loved. The location is between our 2 favorite towns to go shopping and eat out…Holland & Grand Haven. The only reason I took away a star was the beds, although they’re clearly newer, the mattresses were so hard my husband and I barely slept the entire week. Our kids also had trouble sleeping through the night most nights. We likely wouldn’t rent again for that reason even though we visit Michigan yearly. Seriously beautiful cottage other than the big miss with the beds. Sleep is important if you’re looking to head home feeling truly rested.
