WHAT GUESTS ARE SAYING:

"Classic cottage was everything it said it would be and more. We spent many hours on the deck enjoying the weather, and the view was fantastic. Plenty of room for everyone to have privacy and spend time together. We'll definitely be back. Thank you!!"
Julie K.

INSIDE:

The lower level features a family room complete with a wet bar, queen sofa sleeper, flat-screen TV, game table, and a full bathroom. No one wants a rainy day on vacation, but rain won't stop you from having a good time enjoying a family movie or game in this beautifully decorated space.
On the upper level you'll find the main living area with a fully stocked kitchen, a dining area with seating for 8, a comfortable seating, and tons of outdoor hang-out space, including a gas grill and outdoor dining.

SLEEPING
This cottage sleeps 9 and is perfect for multi-generational travel—thanks to its unique layout.

Off the main living room, there is a "bedroom" that has a queen pull out sofa and an attached half bath.

Upstairs, there are 3 more bedrooms and 2 full baths. The first bedroom has a king-size bed and en suite bathroom attached. The second bedroom also has a king-size bed and its own private balcony, which is perfect for an evening sunset glass of wine or your morning coffee. The third bedroom has two twin beds and is just around the hall from the full bathroom.

EATING
The eat-in kitchen is right off the living room, with lots of cabinets and all the appliances. Its dining area seats 9. The kitchen and dining space are open to the living room, so you can still enjoy the views of the lake from the expansive front windows.

Or take your feast to the huge deck. The outdoor dining space seats 6 on the rear deck and another 4 on the front deck. Our perch on the hill is the perfect spot to watch a Lake Michigan summer sunset!

PARKING
There is space for three (3) cars in the driveway.
Please note that the garage is not available for guests' use.

THE LOCATION
Walk down to the state beach area and forget about trying to find a parking spot. Be sure to bring your bikes, as this house is close to downtown Grand Haven, and biking the boardwalk along the channel is a real treat.

Have a classic Lake Michigan summer in Grand Haven!

REVIEWS
"We have stayed at Barefoot Beach over a number of summers. It is always a most enjoyable stay and the home allows out large family (9) to be together. Over the years, as BVW Unsalted Vacations has managed the property, it has become better and better-many updates throughout the home and it is always so clean when we arrive. Management is very friendly and accessible from booking to throughout the stay. The location, within a short walk to the beach, and easy access to shops and dining, is a real plus, too! We will return again and again!"

"The house sits up on a hill with a view of Lake Michigan and is very spacious. There are plenty of bathrooms for everyone. They had everything you would need for your stay and had great communication about everything you would need to know for check-in and out. The portal is a very nice feature to have and it makes it easy to find things to do around the area. The house overall was great and everyone enjoyed staying there!"
