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.

Location was awesome, wish we had known the area closes down mid Sept. Was hoping to use the electric wagon to take things to the beach, but we managed. The views are awesome especially at sunset.

This house was everything we had hoped for! It was very well equipped and had plenty of room for everyone. The sand beach was a quick walk away, the lake was wonderful and we all enjoyed swimming and laying out in the sand. The views of the sunset were spectacular all week and the night sky was amazing from this location.We also made a couple of day trips around the area including a ball game in Grand Rapids. This was the perfect spot for a couple of families to unwind and relax for the week. The kids especially loved the large TV room downstairs for movie nights!Lastly, the host was super responsive to minor inquiries and gave us great recommendations around the area.

Family Vacation

So thankful I came across this property while doing my search for our family vacation. The house was beautiful and location was wonderful. The view was amazing. We had storms go through in the evening while we were there and my kids enjoyed watching it come across the lake from the crows nest. Thanks for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home!

Belle of the Beach

My daughter got married at the Little Sable Lighthouse Saturday so the location of the house was absolutely perfect! The house is gorgeous. Watching the sunset from the deck was an amazing bonus that we didn’t expect! We hope to come back in the summer to enjoy the beach.

The pictures of the outside of the house on VRBO in no way were accurate as to what the outside really looks like. Everything was overgrown with invasive vines. The deck, stairs, bottom decking was covered in green algae. The grill was filthy and had to be lite manually. Nothing on the outside has been maintained.
