Perfectly situated within walking distance less than 200 feet from Ridge Road Beach, this newly remodeled home in the quiet community of Grand Beach is a place for families looking to relax on the scenic shores of Lake Michigan. You can swim, sunbathe, and spend your days playing golf, tennis, and basketball, and be welcomed home by a private hot tub and a firepit to make your evenings all the more special.

The Sunset House enjoys a prime location on a tranquil side road, with Lake Michigan visible from the front yard, a nine-hole golf course around the corner, and a great playground with an expansive grassy field, basketball courts, tennis courts within walking distance. Inside, this renovated home is comfortable and up to date, offering such comforts as a washer/dryer for the day's swimsuits, high-speed WiFi for streaming, air conditioning, and flatscreen TVs in both of the living rooms and all of the bedrooms.

The main-level living space is wonderful for mingling, bringing together a sunny living room with a fireplace, a six-person dining room table, and a full kitchen with cheerful yellow cabinetry and stainless steel appliances (including a French-door refrigerator and a dishwasher). There's a Weber gas grill outside to assist with afternoon barbecues, a screened-in porch off the dining room where you can relax both morning and evening, and a second living area downstairs that's great for kids. At night, you can gather around the firepit for s'mores in the yard, watch the stars come out from the warmth of the private hot tub, and eventually retire to one of the comfortable sleeping spaces. There are three bedrooms upstairs on the third level, while the basement-level living room doubles as a fun-filled bunk room for the kids.

Pleasant Stay!
Great location--within walking to the beach and short driving to casinos! Very spacious, great central heating and smart TVs in practically every room to stream on! Would definitely do off season here again!

Great Location, Wonderful Home
When the home we booked unexpectedly was no longer available, Vacasa quickly offered us two other options to insure our trip was not interrupted. Great customer service! The home was excellent for our family. Basement kid sleeping/play area was perfect for play, and provided a separate area for earlier bedtimes. Hot tub was nice and warm when we arrived! Private beach in walking distance of the home and a great park! Would definitely stay in Grand Beach and this home again.

Great Home, Close to the Beach
We enjoyed our stay at this home! The home had pretty much everything you'd need. Kitchen was stocked. Some things to note that we wish we knew beforehand: there is no vacuum, there is no hairdryer, there is a pack and play in one of the bedroom closets, there are no extra blankets in the living room, there is a regular coffee maker as well as an espresso machine. Other than this, lots of great amenities. There were two beach chairs in the garage we were happy to have. Hot tub was very nice to have. TV had lots of channels and things to watch. All in all, we definitely enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Company was very easy to work with!

Great space and close to the beach
This place looks newly remodeled and is a 5 minute walk to the beach. We went on an 80 degree day and there were only 2 other families. An additional beach option is New Buffalo beach which is only a 5 minute drive (with lots of parking). The kids loved the basement and immediately claimed it as their room. We had 5 people and had plenty of space. We easily could have shared with another family. We will definately stay here again.

Needs some improvements
The house has a great layout for a larger group with ample sleeping area. It just needs a little love to bring it up to 5 stars. The beds are extremely hard, the kitchen needs a deep clean and instructions on where the breaker boxes are would be helpful

The sunset house
Hi, my friend and I and our 5 kids stayed there last week. The house is cute, and super spacious for our families. The upstairs bathroom water barely comes out of the sink, there are no grilling utensils to use, and there is no beach access like it stated in the listing. I am glad we paid off season prices, because this property charges nearly $4,000 a week in the summer and the beach is gone. The hot tub was nice to use. The downstairs bathroom is a shower shared with the washer/dryer, just an fyi because the pictures don't disclose that. Otherwise, the house is super cute and would be a great location if the beach was accessible.

Perfect location
We really like this property. The proximity to the beach was amazing and we loved that there was like a designated kids area to refrigerator, lots of TVs that we could watch for the Olympics. My only caveat is that it is extremely mildewy in the lower level. Please add some more lighting around the bedrooms, and bath fans are essential!

Great last minute getaway before our kids go back to school.
We enjoyed our stay at this property. This was our first time staying in this area. We normally spend our summers in Grand Haven or Holland. This porperty had everything we were looking for and close to places we wanted to go. The neighborhood is wonderful and peaceful. The walk to the beach was easy and we had the beach to ourselves. It was nice to watch the sunset, but it was hard for our kids to swim due to all the rocks. The tub hot made up for the beach. We would definitely rent this property again.

Great Stay!
What a great family vacation. Loved the layout of the house and all it had to offer. Just a short walk to the water down some stairs with a beautiful view and privacy. Its a small beach but we only ran into one other family half our time there and the rest of our time we had it to ourselves. There is also surrounding public beaches just a short drive away if that's more your style. "Beach front" was the main thing we were looking for and this was the perfect find.

Great rental
Newly renovated, clean, well equipped home. Close to a small community beach which has nice access to Lake Michigan although wish it was more sand and less rocks/pebbles we loved the more private location compared with the public beaches. Would rent again!

Many pros! Beach! Some comfort drawbacks
Positives: - Location is perfect: steps away from a small private beach!!!! So easy to return to the house for lunch or a bathroom break - nice private hot tub - Amazing kids retreat in the basement- double bunks, stuffed animals, cute tent. - Adirondack chairs - cute IKEA mid century modern decor Negatives: - minimal TP, paper towels, garbage bags, shampoo (vacasa apparently only gives enough to get you started) - no vacuum - no dresser to put away clothes - minimal kitchen condiments such as salt/pepper - older kitchen and bathrooms - older/musty smell in kitchen and basement
