Beachin Lighthouse Villa at Silver Lake Sand Dunes and Little Sable Lighthouse

Incredible Lake Michigan Home with over 1/2 mile of public beach and amazing views of Little Sable Lighthouse. This gorgeous custom built home is built among the soft sand dunes of Mears Michigan and designed to take advantage of the beautiful views of Lake Michigan as well as the views of Little Sable Lighthouse across the street. Home is engineered to recreate the homes frequently built to house the light keepers for lighthouses built during the latter 1/2 of the 1800's along the shore of Michigan's Great Lakes. Enjoy over a 1/2 mile of soft, sandy Lake Michigan Beach that is literally directly across this quiet dead end street. Utilize the amazing powered beach wagon to effortlessly transport all your beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, food, ice cold drinks and even your kayaks and paddle boards from the home to the waters edge. Toes can be from the door to the water in 4 minutes and buried in the sand dunes right off the amazing wrap around deck. Whether you are relaxing on the deck, enjoying a gathering around the fire pit, entertaining in the living room, enjoying a movie and games in the walkout basement or hanging out in the 4th story crow's nest, you'll enjoy the most amazing views of one of Michigan's most iconic lighthouses from nearly every room in this quality home.
Little Sable Lighthouse was constructed in 1874 and is among the top 5 tallest lighthouses in Michigan at 107 feet. Visitors can stop by the small gift shop located in the public parking lot of the lighthouse to purchase a souvenir or pay a small fee to climb the internal staircase of Little Sable and get an amazing panoramic view of Lake Michigan and the surrounding dunes.
Enjoy a truly unique experience at Silver Lake Sand Dunes state park which is only a few miles north. This is one of the few locations in the united states which permits 4x4's to ride on the dunes and it has the added bonus permitting vacationers to pull their 4x4 up to an amazing Lake Michigan beach that is only accessible by 4x4 drivers and their companions.

70th Birthday Party

The property and location were both 10s. Communications with the owner was very easy and they were very responsive. All the furnishings were the best that I have had in a VRBO. We lacked for nothing during our stay. Everything we needed was furnished and of the best quality. The sunset views from the deck were outstanding and it was just a short walk to the beach. Our stay was one of the most enjoyable that we've had.

Family trip

We had a wonderful time on Lake Michigan! The place was perfect. Very comfortable, loaded with toys and beach gear! The kids had a great time playing darts and hanging out around the fire. The view is amazing. Can’t think of one complaint. 😁 Coming from from someone who has been coming to this area for 50 years- this place was tops!

Beautiful house on the water

This house is beautiful. We’ve stayed here multiple times and plan on coming back. Just walk across some sand and your at the water. You also can look out and watch the sunsets over the lighthouse. The house is so clean and well appointed. The owners are responsive and can tell they take great care of the house.

Loved this property right next to the lighthouse. Easy access to the beach but close to Silver Lake and all the activities nearby.

An amazing place to stay!

This was the cleanest VRBO we have ever used. The owners thought of everything . . . comfortable beds, well-stocked kitchen (cooking) equipment, entertainment/ games for all ages, amazing views from the crows nest, quiet little reading nooks, a quick walk to the beach, along with a gated deck for our dogs that allows everyone to relax, sit back and enjoy the beautiful sunsets!

Beautiful Views of Lake Michigan

This is the third time we’ve stayed at one of their properties, our first at this house. As with their other property, they spare no expense in thinking of everything to make our stay perfect. Walks along the beach was close as was a number of nature preserves we explored. Another great stay for us with our GSD’s! Thanks for making our vacation perfect!
