4th of July Fun Fest

Beautiful property, great location, and accommodations exceeded expectations. My wife and I enjoyed a cold beer on the awesome patio compliments of the hosts upon our arrival. There was a nice sized beach bag, towels, and a blanket we took to the beach. Grand Haven is a great beach town. Downtown and the waterfront are a short walk away. We loved Snug Harbor and The Kirby House. Highly recommend driving to Noto’s on the beach. Apartment is perfect for couples and pictures do not do it justice. My wife loved the artwork. Highly recommend.
