The Neighborhood:
Sunset Beach House is just one of our 15 getaways here in Michigan! In spring, enjoy the vibrant blooms and greenery. Summer brings fun opportunities to enjoy on the water—boating, swimming, and soaking up the sun. Fall allows for scenic walks through the nearby Allegan State Game Area or savoring the sweetness of locally-grown apples freshly picked from one of the many local orchards. Of course, winter offers skiing, sledding, ice skating, and plenty more snow-filled fun.
We’re 10-15 minutes from Crane’s Orchards and Dutch Farms, famous for amazing pies and fruit picking. Fenn Valley Winery offers tastings and tours just a short drive away. Antique lovers will find that the area harbors a treasure trove of stores in nearby South Haven, Allegan, Douglas, and Saugatuck. Summer brings the chance for Saugatuck dune rides, exploring the Lake Michigan shoreline on South Haven & Saugatuck's beautiful beaches, exercising up and down the scenic local biking trails, and sharing in the bounty of locally-grown fruit galore: savor freshly-picked cherries, blueberries, raspberries, and peaches.
Note: We aim to maintain a peaceful environment for all our guests and neighbors. Large, disruptive parties are not allowed.

Girls Bookclub Weekend
We spent the weekend Fri-Sun. We were very lucky to have the most perfect weather. The view was terrific. We found things to do but if we hadn't left the house it would have been great too. House was great! We did have a lot of ladybug friends but this is the season and they didn't bother us. I appreciated the full stocked kitchen supplies but what is always nice was that there were spices and those kinds of things. It was easy access to wineries and the surrounding towns. Recommend!

Beautiful Lakefront Property, very peaceful
This property was perfect for our annual Cousin gathering. We made wonderful memories at this house. All bedrooms were very comfortable and spotless. The house had everything we could possibly need or want. Close to many different coastal towns for day trips. The property's staff and local contact were great in answering any of our questions.

We had a great girls weekend! The house was clean, updated and just as described online. The beds were comfortable and having three bathrooms was awesome. It was a snowy weekend and the walkways were shoveled twice and the driveway was plowed. This is a wonderful place for a group to stay!

Family Vacation 2024
Had a great week with the family. The house was great and was well stocked. The fence used to keep the geese out of the yard was a bit odd and annoying to have to take down to access the dock/lake. It was nice to have the kayak but it would have been nice to have a pontoon available. It was also a bit weird to have strangers wandering the yard every day scooping poop. Especially the guy who was complaining constantly while doing it as we sat on the front porch trying to read. Overall, the trip was great and the house was nice.

Plenty of space. Loved how the bedrooms were down one hallway. The kitchen and living room all one open space. We had plenty of room to craft and play games in the long table. Everything in one floor. Plenty of bathrooms for 14 women. Totally ideal. Beautiful colors on the trees. Perfect weekend. Awesome Hosts.

Family and Friends Retreat
4 families with multiple children stayed and played at the Sunset Beach house. Plenty of rooms to house everyone comfortably and space to spread out. Kitchens and bathrooms really well stocked, best we’ve seen at any other rental we have been at before. We cooked and grilled multiple meals. Stove had a bit trouble keeping up with maintaining heat with multiple burners running at the same time but, everything eventually got cooked. Beach was a great soft sand and shallow for the kids to play at safely. Had a wonderful time and would recommend for your next vacation.

Fall 2023 Friend-sips Wellness Retreat
My group had a great time. Everything was clean and comfortable. It rained the entire time that we were there. However, we were able to capture the most beautiful rainbows and Swan passings ever. The check in process was easy, The kitchen provided everything we needed, and the spaciousness allowed everyone to feel at home. We appreciated the written instuctions on how to use various equipment. One of the best homes we've visited. It's a hidden gem.

Perfect spot!
We loved this property and the surrounding towns. The only concerning thing were the stray dogs but the care taker told us what to do about them and even offered to come assist. All information within the residence said check out at noon but all previously sent electronic information indicated one. We were prepared when cleaning crew came at 1220 and just went ahead and left. I believe the family consensus is to book for next year, maybe later in the season for some heat and sun shine to enjoy that beautiful lake more!!!!

Great, clean, roomy cottage!
We LOVED the cottage-very clean and well maintained. It had 3 good bathrooms, including an en suite in the main bedroom. Walk in shower. Very accessible for walkers, limited mobility. The tables had plenty of chairs for a large group, both inside and outside. There was an extra table for games/puzzles-which we loved. Nice yard for the kids, sandy small beach. Plenty of plates/glasses. Large open living plan. Brewery right next door. Lake is weedy and shallow, good swimming for kids at the shore. They work hard to clear the weeds daily. Geese and swans, other waterfowl-fun to watch. Rented kayaks-that is worth the $$. Fun fireworks on the pond for the 4th at other cottages all around. Nice fire pit with plenty of chairs. Brand new grill! We had a GREAT stay!

Summer home away from home
The property was immaculately clean. It gave us the room that we needed to accommodate our family members, and it was well stocked with many of the things that we needed to make our stay memorable. The lake was clean and easily accessible, roughly 30 yards from the back door. The water was deep enough for the kids to jump off the dock, but shallow enough that the youngest ones could wade safely . And the lake is well stocked with fish and our son-in-law caught a huge largemouth bass. The air condition was a true blessing, the beds were comfortable, and the conveniences, such as a dishwasher, TVs and Wi-Fi, a refrigerator, and a smaller refrigerator, a washer and dryer, a canoe, and lifejackets, were all just a few examples of the many thoughtful touches that made this property an outstanding choice. Above all, the property owner and manager were super friendly, and they worked to accommodate our needs. This is a great property, and we had a marvelous time staying here. We would definitely recommend it as a family – friendly, summer home away from home!

Nice home
The house was the perfect set up and right on the water. Kitchen table(s) were great, perfect for dinners and game playing. Walk right out to the lake for ice fishing. Bedrooms were average size, fine for sleeping. We all really enjoyed our stay and wished we would've booked a longer trip! Our only complaints are that the grill had no propane, a previous review also showed the grill wasn't working properly so that could be related. And the biggest disappointment was the difference in the documents provided after booking. The SBH Brochure Rental Rates showed early check-in/late check-out could be available upon request for one price, and the listing showed another. There was a significant price difference that we felt should have been honored.

Snowy week in Michigan
Property had a great view and was very roomy. The kitchen was well stocked and clean. There was a strong cleaning solution smell upon arrival. There were ample paper products, towels and hot water. The internet was slow and spotty. Not sure if the weather affected it, but we had to reboot the router many times. The beds were comfortable. There were no easy chairs or rocking chairs so the only seating besides for around the tables was the couch and the couch cushions were well worn making the living room seating uneven and uncomfortable. The TV had a green line running across it which was distracting. The owner and property manager were easy to deal with, gave clear instructions and sent necessary information plenty early. We especially appreciated the property manager getting someone to shovel the walk and plow us out when we had so much more snow than expected (forecast was for 1-3" and we ended up getting probably close to 18"). We would book this place again.

House was fine lots of space, but we had a couple of things that we’d like you to look at: The water pressure in the kitchen sink is very very low. Everywhere else is fine, but that seems to be unusually low. In the first bedroom on the left, going from the living room to the driveway, there is a musty smell that is pretty prevalent in that room. We tried using a fan, but that really didn’t help much in the second bedroom on the right from the living room to the driveway there is a Hanger on the wall but it’s not very secure. We hung a bathrobe on it and it immediately fell off. The nails are still there but you might wanna look at that. The outside lights on the side of the house by the grill and the outside lights that shine into the parking area have burned out need to be replaced With found the house very comfortable, and even though it took us a little bit to get used to the acoustics because of the lack of carpeting’s or lack of window dressings, we loved it there, and it was very accommodating
