If you've ever imagined having your own low-key cottage on the lake, Beach Cottage is a great place to live out that dream. Tucked away in a vibrant woodland, this wonderful cottage is a perfect escape from the day-to-day. Dine-in on the four-season porch with views of Lake Michigan and the surrounding trees. Gather with your group by the fireplace to enjoy a nice chat with them as you plan tomorrow's adventures. Enjoy days at the beach and nights around the firepit or grilling in the gas grill available. The views from the top of the bluff are priceless and the sound of the waves makes this home a very relaxing getaway.

The Beach Cottage has more of a cabin atmosphere than a cottage, which we loved. Everything is as shown in the liting photos and as depicted in reviews. We enjoyed our stay so much we are planning a return visit next year!

beautiful location

Fabulous location on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan with a very nice beach. The cottage was a little on the shabby side but otherwise fine, other than the bed in the middle bedroom which was saggy and made it difficult for 2 people to use.

We loved this little cottage. It offers privacy and your own slice of beach! The furniture in the living room could be upgraded to make it a little more comfortable but the bed are good. Out back its woodsy with a beautiful beach view and clean beautiful beach with clear water. Quite a few stairs to get to the beach but worth it. A perfect relaxing place. Right off the highway and easy to get to.

The cottage was situated on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan with a beautiful view and beach-couldn't be in a better location. The cottage itself was a little on the shabby side but fine other than the middle bedroom bed, which was pretty saggy in the middle-not great for 2 people.

We had a great time at this beach house. The beach is right by the house, but there are a decent amount of stairs to get down there. The beach was really nice and quiet. The views of the lake were spectacular, especially at sunset. The house overall was really good, just a bit outdated. We also lkved the location and close proximity to Saugatuck. We would definitely stay again.

Perfect beach getaway!

House and location exactly as described! Perfect location right on a private beach, with not too many stairs. House had everything we needed, and property manager was very responsive when we needed some questions answered quickly! Will definitely come again! Traveled with our family of four (myself, husband, 3 year old son, 12 week old daughter).

The location was perfect and the views were spectacular. The property fit my family just fine and we had an amazing week. I would suggest adding additional cookware...specifically cooking pans as we could not find any. Also the grounds could use a cutting and the AC unit is packed with leaves which will hurt the efficiency.

Cute beach cottage in the woods

The house was clean and had all the basic amenities needed. The beach is beautiful and the fire pit was great. Felt private and surrounded by nature without being far off the beaten path

Great location!

This house has a great location and easy access to a great beach. It has shade up by the house but then full sun option at the beach. The only downfall was the inside of the house was dirty (dishes, floor, living room furniture).

Great Beach House

The property is honestly a bit undersold in the pictures. This house is right on the water with stairs down to the beach right in back. Almost private beach shared with just a couple other houses. It was a great place, we used the fire pit and could watch the sunset over the lake each night. Definitely would rent again.

Cute cabin

Came for a wedding in Saugatuk. Enjoyed making a fire inside, having a lake view and the farms/ciders near by. The only complaint is that the beds were too soft.

amazing beach access and views

This was a perfect spot for a 3-day quiet beach escape. Beds were smaller than advertised and house was not as clean as I had hoped. But the outdoor backyard space atop the dune bluff with fire put and picnic table, chairs on a deck part way down the stairs to watch the water, and finally the big beach we had practically to ourselves were so nice. Plenty of places to eat out as well as a stocked kitchen and dishwasher for anything we needed made meals easy.

Better than expected!

The view is phenomenal, right on the lake but it’s high above the water which makes the view even better. And private access to an adorable landing with chairs about 3/4 of the way down to the beach. We had the best time grilling out and hanging by the fire pit and watching the sunset. I would recommend bug spray, there are bitey little black bugs to contend with but other than that, highly recommended!

We would have appreciated a foot pan at the back door to wash off the sand and the night light on the microwave working. We had a very nice time.
