The views of Lake Michigan from the house are wonderful with stunning sunsets. Hanging out at the firepit was a great addition for evenings. The recently updated kitchen is well-equipped and has everything you need to cook! The first floor is all updated, the 2nd floor needs some updating, but it is functional and quiet. There is very little actual beach, and it is difficult to see the lake over the seawall when you sit on the beach. Erosion is fairly significant, so you are best to go to the public beach at Holland State Park Beach. The vrbo picture number 20 of the private beach (last photo) is the most accurate depiction of the condition of the beach at the house. Owner was responsive when we got locked out, unknowingly, as we were not aware we had to use the lock box code to access the house as opposed to using a key that was listed as provided on the paperwork in the house, but was not provided. I am sure this will all be straightened out for future renters. We gave it 3.5 stars because, in addition to the beach issue and the lockout situation, there were a number of minor repairs that should have been addressed prior to our arrival. Owner is aware of these issues. All in all, nice porch to view Lake Michigan, beautifully renovated kitchen, and quiet house to enjoy family time.
