Shorewinds cottage Garden Gate opens directly to beachpath. No roads to cross!

Lake Shore property, footsteps down to the beach.

Coastal Concepts, Inc., a design and development team, is excited to offer, Shore winds Beach House, now available to rent to discriminating guests. This stylish home is located on the beachside of Lakeshore Road in desirable Union Pier. There is direct beach access to Miller Street beach from the garden gate.

The interior environment cleverly mixes the use of original artwork, artifacts, and antiques in a playful way that captures the essence of coastal living. French doors lead from the kitchen to a side patio that is adjacent to the beach path. Each bedroom has its own French door that opens to an exterior seating area.
The property has a fence as well as professional landscaping of the gardens offering you privacy while still being able to hear the waves on the shore.

Dining furniture sits under the pergola-covered deck and is an inviting spot to spend the late afternoon relaxing with a good book and a beverage or outdoor dining. Seating is nestled by the firepit for late evening star gazing.
We offer 2 full bathrooms as well as a hot and cold beach shower.
This is a cottage that you'll be thrilled that you chose for sharing with your loved ones.
Our house keeping staff has been groomed and trained to be a cut above the best with attention to details.

Amazing Stay!
Booked the shorewinds cottage as a last minute weekend trip for my mom and I and it was perfect! The inside was cuter and bigger than pictured. Everything was clean and comfortable. I loved the outdoor seating areas and the proximity to the beach - amazing to not have to cross the street to get to the beach. Perfect location within walking distance of the Whistle Stop, The Roadhouse and Milda's. Would definitely book again!

2nd summer at our happy place!
We came back for our 2nd summer and we already booked again for our 3rd summer! Clean and spacious and very comfortable, appreciated the new beds and TVs and other improvements. The grounds are even more beautiful than the photos, bird lovers remember to bring seed for the feeders! Easy checkin, good communication with property manager. And the location cannot be beat!
