    The Lighthouse in Lakeshore Cottages



    The Space:

    This amazing four-bedroom house in the popular Lakeshore Cottages community features not only a convenient location a short walk to the heated shared pool and under a mile to the beach, but also a grand, inviting atmosphere secluded by lush landscaping perfect for your family reunion or get-together with friends! This non-smoking, pet-free home is ideal for families with small children as a full-sized Pali crib, Peg Perego high chair, Graco Pac ‘n Play, and bed safety rails are provided. Parents will love the roomy second-level guest bedroom sharing a big full bathroom with the adorable kids’ bedroom furnishing the crib and two twin beds. After a day swimming at the pool and beach, big kids will love sprawling out on the enormous sectional sofa playing games on the new smart TV in the carpeted basement family room adjacent to the kids’ nautical-themed bedroom complete with twin-over-full bunk bed, full bed, twin trundle, and en-suite full bathroom, plus a card table and lots of extra space to run around. Grandparents (and parents) will love the first-level queen main suite with a full bathroom boasting a marble vanity and breezy private porch hidden by beach grasses. Everyone will have enough space and privacy in the home's four bedrooms, and with amenities like the shared pool/clubhouse/ping-pong/a half basketball court, front porch with swing, screened porch/backyard deck, two family rooms, central AC, and free high-speed WiFi, you’ll love stretching out as welcoming beach vibes carry you through your wonderful stay! A full-house generator is also available in case of power loss, so the fun truly won't stop! Recent upgrades include an all-new fabulous sun-drenched backyard deck with cocktail rails for entertaining while cooking on the six-burner gas grill, furnished with a big new dining set shaded by a ten ft. cantilevered umbrella, connected to the expansive bright and airy screened porch with sparkling new windows for all-weather comfort. It also features both a lounging area with a comfy RH sofa and armchairs and a dining area with a large new teak dining table and cushioned chairs (plus a bench for little ones), hardwood floors covered in lovely new jute rugs, stocked with beach chairs and umbrellas. After a summer evening alfresco meal, clean-up is a breeze with the new top-of-the-line, oversized, three-rack sanitizing dishwasher. And don't forget the full-sized washer/dryer, so you can pack light for your trip! The spacious first-level great room, where French doors open to the screened porch, enjoys a cozy family room dressed in charming beach decor, comfy sofas, and hardwood floors, anchored by a stunning wood-burning stacked-stone fireplace towering up to the vaulted ceilings’ skylight views of tall trees encircling the house, along with a new smart TV and cabinet full of classic board games. The well-stocked kitchen offers new stainless-steel appliances and accessories, new quartz waterfall countertops, a pantry, and barstool seating at the center prep counter beside the dining area’s handsome table with seating for everyone, plus extra chairs to pull up. A cute newly upgraded powder room serves the first-level great room. Upstairs you'll find a Crow's Nest reading room with 180° views. The large circle driveway allows easy access for multiple cars. Enjoying all that Harbor Country has to offer from the comforts of a magnificent home, you're sure to love your stay at The Lighthouse in Lakeshore Cottages! Things to Know The pool is open from Memorial Day weekend through Columbus Day. This property is managed by Vacasa Michigan LLC.

Beautiful house near the beach!

We had a great stay at The Lighthouse Cottage! The house was immaculate when we arrived and had all the amenities you would need for a week at the beach! We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again!

Everything your family needs

It’s close to the pool and a short distance from the lake. The cooking and sleeping quarters were able to accommodate our family of 6 adults and 4 kids.

Lovely home!

Well-lit and well-appointed home is among the more charming homes we've stayed in. Nice bedding and well-stocked kitchen too. We'll be back! We loved riding bikes to the beach and local bakeries!

Summer family vacation

Perfect place to accommodate our 4 kids and my elderly parents. Love the location near the bike path along red arrow highway and walking distance to a brewery. Only complaint would be lacking a private beach access, which several rental homes I’ve used have. But a public beach is relatively close, so we managed! Great house, would recommend

Lovely time at Lakeshore Cottages

This house was a fantastic fit for our group of 6 adults and 3 kids. The neighborhood pool was an awesome option when we wanted to take a break from the beach. No private beach access, but Townline Beach for public access is a 15 minute walk. Bring a wagon or arrive on the earlier side to snag a parking spot. We loved the sun room and the finished basement was all nice space for lounging. Overall, this house was wonderful and would highly recommend!

Great Vacay!

This home was a hit for us in every way. Clean, roomy, nice flow with lots of windows letting in natural light. Nice sized covered porch to sip our morning coffee looking onto the beautiful and well-attended landscaping. Comfy furniture both on the main level and the lower finished level. Nice big kitchen table, as well as a large island for gathering. Appliances were updated and clean. Just a two minute walk to a great pool where our grandkids had a blast, and just a fifteen minute walk to the beautiful beach or shops in Union Pier.
