Modern Beachfront Home With Breathtaking Lake Views and Hot Tub

The modern cantilevered architecture of the Nest has you literally floating over the dune with unparalleled views. This one bedroom, two bath cottage on the beach is stunning inside and out. The Nest caters to those seeking an atmosphere of refinement and exclusivity. Lifelong memories are created here.

The panoramic view of the beach is dramatic, the interior is sophisticated beach chic. The fully equipped modern kitchen includes a washer and dryer. The primary bedroom with stunning lake view features a Tempur-Pedic king size bed, gas fireplace, and en- suite bath with Jacuzzi tub and shower. Take your private stairway to the beach down 60 leisurely steps and grab one of our beaches and umbrellas for a swim or beach lounging. The private association beach is sandy and stunning. Your outdoor hot tub is a luxuriously decadent retreat on a chilly night. The deck with a gas grill and dining table offers a scenic lake view. Winters are warm and cozy with fireplaces in both the living room and bedroom. The unobstructed views offer a unique view of the beach and sunsets. The house has two smart TVs, cable and Wi-Fi.

While the Nest is the perfect romantic retreat for two, we allow up to 4 people in this cozy cottage with two full baths, a queen size sleeper sofa in the sunroom and two twin beds in the entrance. Floor to ceiling windows that open and two open stairways should be considered with small children.

You are minutes from Stray Dog Bar and Grill, Four Winds Casino, Redamak's, Oinks, Journeyman Distillery, the Acorn Theater and numerous breweries, wineries, farmers markets, restaurants, antique malls, art galleries in the area but you may never leave your private paradise with the absolute best views in Harbor Country. 70 miles or approximately 90 minutes from Chicago.

magnificent location and property!
The location of The Nest can't be beat. It is RIGHT on the beach with views from every room of the house. The home is immaculate and the property manager made everything easy. The kitchen and home had everything a renter might want...beach towels/umbrellas/chairs, as well as all kitchen appliances. The house is new and immaculate. We were there with two teenagers and it worked well for a few days to have one in the sun room and the other in the entry area. We can't wait to be back! We were MUCH happier right on the beach than we would have been a few blocks east with the kids in their own bedrooms.

ReallyGreat
Everything was great. No complaints, just one observation there is only one rail going up the staircase. For me I have very little dexterity in one of my hands so coming downstairs I had to back down the stairs. I’m not recommending that the property itself do anything about it, just recommending that they advise about the property not totally being handicap for some. I am use to coming up with new ways to overcome challenges, so personally I didn’t mind it. Everything was absolutely wonderful overall, wouldn’t mind doing it again.

Perfection
This is my lead in: we planned a trip to London next year, canceled midway through this trip, and rebooked the Nest. THAT is how perfect it is. I rarely say anything is without flaws and I say it today. We loved this charming place from the minute we walked in. Kathleen, the manager, responded to me immediately when I couldn’t unlock the door. User error. She was always available, kind and helpful. We walked in to find gifts of Prosecco and some chocolates inside the gorgeous French door refrigerator. The house was pristinely clean, was appointed with high end everything and the views are breathtaking. Nothing is taken for granted here. The architect designed the Nest for best vantage point views, which is what we wanted. It’s cozy, the kitchen is a chef’s kitchen and I loved cooking there. Usually, I don’t enjoy cooking at rentals because the accoutrements are second hand cast-offs but all equipment here is best quality. Breville, Le Creuset, Cuisinart, and Crate and Barrel are just a few brands I used. I could cook happily and see the lake, too. We enjoyed the fireplaces, upstairs and in the bedroom, for the cool evenings, and when it was clear we could see Chicago! The beach is serene and we enjoyed being on it often, particularly for sunsets. It’s a lovely location for day trips further north but also a fine location on its own. We antiqued, ate well at plentiful restaurants and hiked the dunes. One day we never left the house because it’s just that wonderful. I read in the bedroom while my husband watched football in the living room. We had equally jaw dropping views. Nobody loses out in either room. The furniture is inviting and comfortable so you may never leave the house. We enjoyed the hot tub and I had several comfortable baths in the deep tub. This is a special place and I can’t wait to get back to our new “regular” vacation spot. It’s perfect.

This was our second time staying at the Nest and it was everything we hoped for. We enjoy the off season peacefulness. The Nest fits our needs and is a relaxing environment. Unlike other places we have stayed the Nest is simply yet warmly decorated. It provides everything we need yet is not cluttered. We love it. Kathy is a great communicator.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the nest. The view, the view, the view! Amazing! Perched above the beach. Lake life at its best. The accommodations are so unique, comfortable and welcoming making it feel like a home away from home as soon walk in the door. A much needed get away made even more perfect. The hot tub was a bonus after long walks on the beach and hiking in the dunes.

Amazing view!
What an amazing stay! My husband and I were looking for a quiet getaway from the city and this was perfect. Highlights were: the view of the lake from bedroom and living room (or course), the two fireplaces, and the hot tub. Union Pier is definitely a summer vacation town but we like how quiet it was in the winter. We visited the Journeyman Distillery and loved it.

Pictures don’t do it justice.
My husband, myself, and our sweet little girl came here for a few days. We’ve been very cautious during covid, but we desperately needed a get away. We could not have imagined how much we would love this place. I never considered Michigan as being beautiful. But truly, I couldn’t have spent our entire trip in the sunroom. The pictures do not do this place justice. The bedding was amazing, I’m seriously planning to buy the same set for my house. We loved sitting in the sun room and letting our babygirl play. It’s so close to town. I will say; I wish more places delivered. But the few places we did eat at, were pretty tasty. We went in off season so not everything was open of course. But we loved it. We loved the beach, the sunroom, the decor, all of it. We cannot wait to go back.
