On Lake Michigan, close to Fishtown, Sand Dunes, Bike trials, Casino, Wineries

Most impressive is the view of Lake Michigan upon entering this home. The sunsets viewed both from the deck and the comfort of the living roomier spectacular..

The house is located on Good Harbor Bay, a short 2 miles from Leland's Fishtown. The house features a wrap around deck and a second beach deck, both of which are perfect to watch the stunning sunsets over Lake Michigan. The private beach allows direct water access to the shallow, clear waters of the Bay and this secluded location invites you to fall asleep to the sound of the waves.There are 2 kayaks, 2 bikes with helmets, 2 sets of golf clubs (right and left handed) and a gas grill. The house has a garage, natural wood and ceramic floors, a modern kitchen and a washer and dryer. There are beach toys, inflatable rafts, beach chairs and umbrella just to mention a few things that will add to your vacation pleasure.

Perfect!

Our two weeks at the house were a delight! It is extremely comfortable, perfectly located and had everything we needed -- from kayaks and children's books to laundry detergent -- and the views of the lake are spectacular. It was so perfect that we have already reserved our stay for next year.

Great week with family on the lake

We had such a great time staying here on Lake Michigan for a week!! The property is in an ideal location to be able to jump into the lake any time and watch spectacular sunsets from both decks. We had dinner on the porch every night and were on the kayaks and paddle board every day. Would absolutely recommend this place and we hope to be back! It fit seven adults well.

Incredible location and amazing views

Absolutely a five-star setting. The location, expansive windows, views and thoughtful recreation amenities make this an incredible value and great option for a couple, friends or family. Quiet setting and gorgeous rock-filled beach. The home is extremely clean, cozy and offers what’s needed. It’s not a five star rating only because the interior/furnishings and lack of some comforts reflect the home’s age (as accurately shown in pictures - not new/modern). However, it doesn’t detract from enjoying the trip. We had a few questions upon arrival, and the experience proved the owners are responsive, attentive, super nice, and committed to ensuring guests have a positive experience.

Really bad response time and poor planning.

My wife and I took our mini moon here. We were given the garage code and a code to the lock box for the front door. We arrived late on Friday evening so we went in through the garage door. We locked the man door to the garage before bed because there were other doors to the garage and we wanted to be safe. We left the next morning and closed the door behind us. We thought; “no big deal, there’s a lock box with a key”. We went to get the key and it wasn’t there. We contact the site manager and they sent out someone to attempt to break into the home. They somehow managed to access doors that we thought would’ve been locked to the garage, but weren’t. They then decided to call a locksmith out and it took nearly 4 hours to regain access. They were very little help

Great house and secluded location!

We have always spent summers on Lake Leelanau, this was our first time staying on Lake Michigan and it was awesome! The house was clean and had everything we needed. Great location just south of Leland. We picked about 500lbs of petoskeys off the beach right in front of the house, if you're into rock hunting this strech of beach is private and untouched from other beach walkers. Rocks galore! We will miss falling asleep to the waves!

Wonderful home that backs up directly to Lake Michigan. The home was well equipped, everything worked, and the neighborhood was quiet but very close to Leland. The sights and sounds of the lake from the backyard deck were beautiful.
