About this property

Spring Lake waterfront home on Markers Cove with full Spring Lake access!

  • We are excited to welcome you to our home, Compass Cove!
    This is a three bedroom, two bath home located on Markers Channel of the very popular Smiths Bayou on Spring Lake!
    Our home has an open floor plan and set up comfortably for family entertaining. The large kitchen is fully stocked and ready for your family meal at the large farm table!
    There are 3 bedrooms. Bedroom One with a king Saatva mattress and master bath, Bedroom Two with a new king mattress, and bedroom three with two extra-long twin beds. A twin sized air mattress and an infant pack-n-play are also provided.
    The large open great room is the perfect gathering space with access to over 550sqft of outdoor decking that leads to a very nice sized yard for outdoor activities. There is 180' of water frontage with 100' of seawall for you to tie off your own boat.
    Compass Cove includes a paddle boat and two Kayaks for your families enjoyment. Excellent fishing and boating right from the seawall. A fire pit is on site for evening enjoyment.
    We are located approximately 2 miles from North Shore beach and 3 miles from Grand Haven State Park beach. Hoffmaster State Park is also only just over 3 miles North of our home. All of these parks have great beaches right on the beautiful Lake Michigan and wonderful hiking trails.
    Bike trails are abundant and start right outside the neighborhood leading you to all the amenities Spring Lake and Grand Haven have to offer. A HUGE transformation just happened in downtown Spring Lake making this a choice destination with award-winning restaurants, bars and breweries. Grand Haven (Coast Guard City, USA) has also done some major renovations along the waterway and the main street offering tons of amazing shops and in the evening you can enjoy the 2nd largest waterfront musical fountain in the United States! The new band shell right on the waterway has many events as well that are very exciting to attend.
    Please note the location of Compass Cove. We are located just off Highway 31. If you can't bear the sound of traffic this is not the home for you. In the yard the traffic does not go unnoticed. In the home it can be heard at times but certainly not disruptive. Let us know if you prefer to sleep with a fan or white noise maker.
    This is our personal home. We love it, are thrilled to share it with you, and want to do our best so you love it just as much.
    Thank you for viewing and we look forward to hosting your family!

Perfect space for a family getaway

The property was beautiful, clean, and well stocked for our needs. The host was very responsive and friendly when we had questions. The deck space and yard were really nice for family gatherings. The location was close proximity to all the great things the area has to offer.

We were so fortunate to be able to stay here! The home was spotless, tastefully decorated, had a well stocked kitchen and served all of our needs. My grandson loves to fish and basically just walked right out the door and he was catching all kinds of fish. The owners were amazing to work with, were immediately available if we needed anything. Overall, this was a relaxing and very pleasant experience for my family and myself. I would highly recommend this property to anyone!

Beautiful home, great vacation!

So nice having our boat right out back, spending the day on the water, then coming back to grill, play yard games, have a fire and enjoy the beautiful home. We definitely would like to do it again next year! Hosts have absolutely everything you would ever need and are so nice and easy to work with. Thank you for sharing!!!

Wonderful!

Absolutely all you could ask for - helpful and prompt host, clean and comfortable home, great location for all the fun in western MI! Our family enjoyed the use of the paddle boat, kayaks and outdoor games. They even provided toys and a portable crib for the 1 year old. Kitchen was well stocked too! Master bathroom is a little on the small side but sleep number bed more than made up for it!

Highly Recommend!

The owners are great with easy communication. The home is better in person and it felt like a home not a pieced together rental. The owner took lots of time to make the house comfortable and it was really appreciated. House smelled great too! You will not be disappointed. There is noise from the highway when you’re in the bedrooms but their Alexa can play music to drown out if needed.

Perfectly equipped, gateway to fun on the water in Spring Lake

Our family rented this home for its lake access and ability to tie up a boat. It was all of those things and more! There are lots of fun water toys and our kids loved the paddle boat, kayaks and SUP. We had a rainy day one day of our stay and the house was incredibly comfortable to hang out, watch movies and relax in. This home was the cleanest VRBO rental we have ever stayed at. It was well equipped and was clearly well maintained by Melissa and Brandon. They were excellent hosts and responded very quickly to any of our questions and made us feel very welcome. Check in and check out was simple and allowed our family to immediately feel at home.

Unforgettable Thanksgiving.

Words cannot describe our stay. They just won’t do justice to property. We had the best Thanksgiving of our lives. Home felt just like that Home. Very clean, everything we needed to cook Thanksgiving. Host was very accommodating. There is noise from road but it isn’t even anything to even be concerned about. Host has supplied fans and Alexa pods if this is a problem. Thank you Melissa and Brandon. We will be back.

Spring Lake waterfront home on Markers Cove

My wife and I spend 10 days / 9 nights vacationing here mid-September – the longest we have ever been away from home, and we loved our time here and the location! The home was spacious and clean and looked to be newly remodeled and decorated. We made great use of the deck and outdoor dining table, as well as the fantastic long porch overlooking the water. The owners were very accommodating and anticipated our needs. I even caught several fish with the home just feet away from the water. This location was perfect for us… near many fantastic restaurants, from fine dining to breakfast, breweries and a distillery in town. We recommend Anna’s for breakfast, the duck with Michigan cherries at the Arborean Inn, the sausage egg rolls and wine selection at Two Tony’s, the lake view at Noto’s, the fun atmosphere at Sandy Point Beach House, and too many other great places to name. Great shopping down town Grand Haven. And… we had a nice drive to East Lansing where we attended MSU football games on consecutive weekends. Oh… and numerous places with wonderful hiking – Rosy Mound Natural Area is a must if you like trails; it is one of the most beautiful trails we have ever been on. A gem of a find and stay! John & Deb

Great little get away.

Property was nice and clean. House was only a few minutes from downtown Grand Haven and Muskegon. We even made the easy 40 minute drive to the dunes to drive the buggies during our stay. Highway noise was not a big for us, the convenience of easy access to and from 31 was great. Owners were great to work with as well. Would definitely stay here again.

Cannot express how wonderful it is to vacation on the water with toys for the whole family including our dog. The house is super cute and has everything we wanted/needed. In the area are dune rides, quirky museums, berry picking, horseback riding and of course the best sandy beaches in the country. We loved it, thank you!
