About this property

ONLY A FEW SUMMER DATES LEFT! 7BR Lake Michigan Home • Heated Pool • Hot Tub

  • BLUE WATERS EDGE | LAKE MICHIGAN • PRIVATE BEACH • HEATED POOL • HOT TUB

    Welcome to Blue Waters Edge, professionally operated by Waters Edge Vacation Rentals in Ludington, Michigan.

    Built in 2021 specifically as a vacation rental, this 4,400 sq. ft. Lake Michigan home was designed from the ground up for large families and groups. From the heated saltwater pool and hot tub to two kitchens, two laundry rooms and endless Lake Michigan views, Blue Waters Edge has something for everyone.

    HEATED SALTWATER POOL

    Pool heat is included at no extra charge!

    Enjoy an 85°F heated saltwater pool from mid-May through October 31. There is nothing quite like swimming in warm water on a cool September or October day while overlooking Lake Michigan from the bluff.

    We have two pool heaters and can adjust the pool temperature warmer or cooler upon request at no additional charge.

    The pool area also features:

    * Heated outdoor shower
    * Poolside natural-gas fire table
    * Lake Michigan views
    * Plenty of patio and deck space for relaxing in the sun

    HOT TUB

    Our Hot Spring hot tub is kept around 101–104°F and features two built-in massage seats and a top-of-the-line filtration system.

    One of our favorite times to use it is at night. Relax under the stars, listen to the Lake Michigan waves, and watch the illuminated freighters traveling in and out of Ludington harbor.

    AMAZING LAKE MICHIGAN VIEWS

    Blue Waters Edge sits high on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan, creating incredible panoramic views.

    Four of the six bedrooms have pool and/or lake views.

    The large covered lakeside porch has comfortable outdoor furniture where you can enjoy the view while keeping an eye on the kids in the pool. Prefer the sun? There is plenty of open deck and poolside patio space as well.

    You may even find yourself looking down at seagulls and the occasional soaring bald eagle. There is a bald eagle nest just a couple of houses south of Blue Waters Edge.

    PRIVATE LAKE MICHIGAN BEACH

    Enjoy 107 feet of private Lake Michigan beach frontage.

    At the beach you'll find:

    * 6 chaise loungers
    * 2 kayaks
    * 2 stand-up paddleboards
    * Approximately 1½ miles of beach to explore

    Take a walk along the shoreline, paddle Lake Michigan, or hunt for Petoskey stones—we've found them here!

    **Important:** Blue Waters Edge sits on a high bluff. Reaching our private beach requires approximately 100 steps plus a trail, and the return trip uphill can take around 10 minutes. For guests who don't want to make the climb, the heated saltwater pool provides an easier way to enjoy the water and Lake Michigan views.

    TWO FULL KITCHENS

    Large groups need space!

    Blue Waters Edge has two fully equipped kitchens one on the main level and another on the pool level. That means plenty of cooking space and, just as importantly, lots of refrigerator space for food and drinks.

    ## NEVER RUN OUT OF HOT WATER

    Two tankless hot-water heaters provide enough capacity to run up to four showers simultaneously without running out of hot water—an important feature when traveling with a large group.

    TWO LAUNDRY ROOMS

    There are two laundry areas:

    * Main level
    * Pool level

    No hauling everyone's towels and clothes through the entire house.

    WHOLE-HOUSE BACKUP POWER

    Blue Waters Edge has two automatic whole-house generators.

    If the power goes out, the generators automatically start so a Michigan storm doesn't have to interrupt your vacation.

    EV CHARGING

    An EV charger is located in the garage so you can recharge your vehicle during your stay.

    NEARBY PUBLIC BEACHES

    Our private beach is beautiful, but the bluff stairs aren't for everyone. If you prefer an easy-access or drive-up beach, there are several excellent options nearby:

    Buttersville Park – Just down the road, with a smaller public beach.

    Stearns Park Beach – About 15 minutes away in downtown Ludington. A large public beach with accessible walkways and an easy stop for lunch, shopping or ice cream.

    Ludington State Park – One of Michigan's premier state parks, with more than 5,000 acres of dunes, beaches, trails and the Big Sable Point Lighthouse.

    LOCATION

    Blue Waters Edge is conveniently located between Ludington and Pentwater—approximately 15 minutes from each—so you can enjoy both communities during your stay.

    Mason County Picnic Area is directly across the street. Play the disc golf course, explore the trails, or hike to the top of the lookout tower.

    FAST FIBER-OPTIC WIFI

    Stay connected with fast fiber-optic internet from Great Lakes Energy, with speeds of 100+ Mbps.

    Whether you're streaming movies, connecting multiple devices, or need to get some work done during your stay, the house has fast, reliable Wi-Fi throughout.

    MADE FOR GROUP VACATIONS

    Blue Waters Edge wasn't simply converted into a vacation rental—it was designed and built to be one.

    From the two kitchens and two laundry rooms to abundant hot water, backup generators, heated pool, hot tub, private beach and large gathering spaces, the house was created to make vacations with family and friends easier and more enjoyable.

    We would love to have your group experience Blue Waters Edge and Lake Michigan.

Our family loved our 3 night stay at Blue Waters Edge! House was clean and well equipped!! Kids and grandkids had a great time at the pool. Being able to play around in Lake Michigan was also a plus. I'd give this home 10 stars if I could! We hope to go back again! Only wish there were more opportunities for a 3 night rental in the summer.

Awesome family vacation!

What a fantastic week in Ludington! The house is everything we hoped it would be -- and more. Perfect for larger family gatherings (we had 10 adults and 5 kids for the week). Plenty of room, tons to do, the heated saltwater pool was an excellent change of pace from the beach. Absolutely recommend this property. Shawn and Naomi (and Ashley) are great hosts!

Family Vacation

Absolutely stunning!! The house was gorgeous and the hosts are just great. The kids had so much fun at the pool and the beach was so beautiful and peaceful. The house had everything we could ask for and more. It’s a short drive to downtown Ludington from the house, which is a really neat beach town. Loved everything about this trip and would go back in a heart beat!

Expectations set and met!

We used all seven bedrooms and both kitchens. Our private chef loved the main kitchen setup as well. Hot tub and salt water pool were just great. Parking space for all cars was really nice. I passed along a few suggestions to the owner that were happily received. This is a property worth returning to if the need arises.

Bachelorette Weekend Trip

Our stay was amazing at this property. We had a girls bachelorette party with 16 people. We had enough space to hang throughout the day and the room and beds were very comfortable! The pool and hot tub were perfectly heated & the view to the beach made for some great pictures!!! Getting to and from the beach was a little hard & we didn’t let our pregnant friends go down there, but if you take your time it’s worth it! The sand is so soft ! We would definitely stay here again & maybe even bring kids this time - the house was well equipped for families with little ones!

Daniels Family 3rd Annual Family Vacation Getaway

Awesome setting, awesome house, awesome hosts, exceeded expectations. Perfect fit for our family group of 8 adults and 10 children ranging in age from 3-15. Secluded but close enough to Ludington main drag and Wal-Mart and Meijer, etc. for shopping needs. We enjoyed the view, the playthings, the heated pool, and kayaking and paddleboarding from the beach below. We also enjoyed the things to do around the house around our stay. We started our stay with a drive up from the Chicago area to Manitowoc, WI where we took the historic SS Badger car ferry across Lake Michigan to Ludington and a short drive to the house. While staying at the house, we visited the Ludington Breakwater Lighthouse, the Big and Little Sable Lighthouses, and the Ludington pumped hydroelectric power plant. On our drive back to the Chicago area around the lake, we visited the Big Red Lighthouse in Holland, Michigan. Great vacation experience! Would recommend to others.

Fall Break Getaway

We looked at several homes during our October Break and so happy we chose this one. The heated pool was amazing in October. Lewis Farms was a huge hit with the kids. Ludington State park hikes to see all the amazing changing colors. This house was perfect for the 4 families - plenty of space, fully stocked and just so comfortable all around! Shawn and Naomi were wonderful answering all my questions (and I had a ton) :) Nothing we would have changed at all. Even in October the beach was perfect - we setup games down there and had a great time. (hike down to the beach - so we limited what we took down there) - but the views from the house, pictures of the sunset were unbelievable. What a wonderful time to travel to Ludington Michigan and a perfect house to host us all!

We gathered as a family of grandparents, parents and grandchildren (17 people ranging in age from 11 -82). The house and property offered something for everyone with a variety of interests and abilities. Small steps onto the porch and the ramp down to the pool helped with accessibility. We played video games, rode the stationary bikes while watching movies, enjoyed the pool (set to 90 degrees by request) and hot tub, played disc golf at the course across the street, and soaked in the views from the porch and the beach. The poolside shower was amazing. The hosts were responsive to every request, including delivering supplies to our door when they ran out mid-week. The large kitchen space on the main floor made it easy to prepare meals for a crowd (we didn't even need to use the basement kitchen) and everyone had tons of space to get ready for the day with all the bathrooms throughout the house. Most of all, we had a luxurious, relaxing, fun-filled, joyous time together in a beautiful, quiet home. 10/10 would recommend!

FANTASTIC FAMILY VACATION SPOT

We LOVED our stay at Blue Waters Edge. For years, we had wanted to rent a house on Lake Michigan...this was the perfect house for our family. Shawn and Naomi, our hosts, were wonderful in providing so many amenities at the home...like fully stocked kitchens (including sippy cups and other children's dishes), games, pool toys, beach toys, life jackets in all sizes and toys in the house for our grandchildren (we have 11). The pool was warm, the view was just beautiful, and the beach lovely and quite private. As others have said, it is a bit of a hike down the hill and back up. But once down there, it is so nice! We used Gloria Ann's Catering which was wonderful! We contacted her before our trip and set up our menu. She delivered our supper each night at 5:30. It was so nice for all the moms to have a break from meal prep...and we had lots of leftovers for lunch the next day. The one thing we would suggest is bringing water shoes to wear around the pool area where there are bees who like the salt water on the deck around the pool. We would highly recommend this home for your family--the hosts have thought of everything. The Miller Family Angola, Indiana

Exceptional in Every Way / Family Reunion to Remember

Our family group (we also had sister property-same hosts/owners, see Suites A/ Ludington review) of all ages was so comfortable, entertained and delighted by this beautiful home. We are not strangers to higher-end rentals, but this was the first time we were greeted by stocked paper products, laundry supplies, and even a stocked beverage fridge... and all the little extras that make vacation start the minute you unpack. As welcome as that was, the magnificent views out the back of the home toward the medium dune and beach/big lake were to-die-for! Even on the single overcast day! The young ones loved the pool toys, and many of us enjoyed the paddleboards and kayaks on the beach (do NOT fear the 101 beach steps....I'm 66 yrs old and had no issues). The sand was so soft and the water crystal clear and shallow for yards and yards. The provided beach towels were so useful for the families flying in for the week, as it helped limit their need to pack some from home. The pool and hottub were in perfect working order and spotless. Cooking large meals for our group was so easy given the quality of appliances and smart kitchen layout. The owners responded very promptly and courteously to our occasional inquiries. And the 220V line in the garage to charge EV's was so handy. We CANNOT WAIT to visit again!

Everything you could need for accommodations to make for a wonderful stay and enjoy family time! The pool was used nonstop by the 10 kids we had with and most went to the beach daily too. It is a bit of a hike so young toddlers and our 7.5 month pregnant sister didn’t make the trek as often. Spotless home, great communication and overall top notch experience!

We had such a wonderful stay. The house, the view, the beach were above our expectations. The pool was so warm (we were early in the season and the weather was a bit cool) the kids swam for hours. They have thought of everything! There are games, firewood, pool toys, beach toys, more than enough towles. We didn't want for anything in the kitchen or bar. If I had to be critical, add blackout curtains. We would 100% rent again.
