The city has over 100 miles (160 km) of bike trails, a state beach, boardwalk, two lighthouses, a pier, wharf, large charter fishing fleet and a Great Lakes port, where it imports limestone, slag, cement and coal while exporting sand.

Quiet and lovely apartment.
We loved the long strolls through the neighborhood and to downtown Grand Haven. The apartment is the perfect size for a couple and they have plenty of towels and bathroom products. I even saw a few curling irons. Nice touch. Very private location and a sweet doggo named Stevie is a pleasant touch. We will be back to stay!!

Magical coast guard week!
We loved staying at Kurt and Wendy’s place for coast guard week - we walked our kids to ymca camp each day and it was a perfect spot. Apartment kitchen is well outfitted - good pots and knives and you know that’s not typical! Really nice to have snacks and coffee all there when we arrived and cold wanter bottles in the fridge. Bathroom even had hair curling iron and straighten tools in addition to hairdryer and shampoo etc Very thoughtful family!!
