Whispering Dune Retreat

This upscale beach home is the ideal retreat for multiple-family getaways, girls' weekends, friend trips, and Notre Dame football weekends! Its unique location and design make it a hidden gem for a fantastic getaway.
We know it will make for unforgettable memories regardless of the season, and we've built and stocked the house just for that! The house has luxury bedrooms, a kitchen with everything you could want, and two large family rooms with big-screen TVs, one on the first floor and the other on the second floor. The second floor also has old-school and new video games that kids and adults love.

The outdoor space is fantastic. Enjoy the hot tub any time of the year with a sectional seating area and a propane firepit. The other outdoor area has another couch seating area, dining table, and wood fire pit with Adirondack chairs, and OUR NEW INGROUND PRIVATE POOL COMING BY SUMMER 2025!!!!!

The home is nestled in the dunes of Lake Michigan, the perfect place for a peaceful nature getaway. It is just a short 10-minute walk to Grand Mere State Park, which boasts over one mile of beautiful sandy beachfront and hiking trails. Steps from the front door, you can play beach volleyball at the private beach access to Lake Solis.

Let us help with any concierge services to make your getaway a place you won't want to leave but will definitely want to return to!

Overall Great! Would Stay Again
The property is newer, and it was really clean and organized. Our group had a great time, and we were able to get in and out easily through the secured door. We felt safe in the area as well. There is plenty of room for parking with 9 cars/small SUVs. The listing (which I think has been updated now) did not describe the sleeping beds correctly, so I'll share here it's 5 bedrooms. a King, a King, a Queen, a single bunk bed (a twin up top, a full on the bottom), and a Trundle Bed room. This was really important to our group as we were all adult individuals. We made due with the couch space as well as some air mattresses provided in the space. The bathrooms are updated and 13 girls were able to shower/get out of the house relatively consistently with access to 4 bathrooms. Overall we had a great time, there were wineries nearby with plenty of activity and close to the beach. We'd absolutely stay here again given the chance. Working with Lisa was great and she was very accommodating before and after our stay.

Beautiful house!
The property was equipped with everything we needed to feel at home from outdoor games in the garage to grilling dinner at sunset. Tons of natural light. Great patio. I was there with a group of friends and we all really enjoyed our stay. Would definitely book again!
