The whole family loved our stay in Ludington!
The location of this house is ideal: an easy one-block walk (even for a 5-year-old and carrying beach toys and a cooler) from a wonderful, large, not-too-crowded beach — but just far enough away to provide a bit of privacy and one-block barrier from the beach noise.
The water was great for our stay: hovering around 70 degrees all week, with middle-sized waves a few days and calm waters the others. We heard there was algae at further-up-the-coast beaches, but the water was crystal clear at our beach (Stearns Park).
We also enjoyed being walking distance from the lighthouse (walked there for beautiful sunsets), shuffleboard, ice cream (tried something House of Flavors every night) and mini golf.
The house had everything we needed. We made most meals at home aside from one dinner at Ludington Bay Brewery (the Tangelo beer was a nice find) and one at Chuckwagon Pizza, which were both good and walkable. With two adults and three kids, we actually had an extra bedroom.
We would definitely love to stay here again next time we get a chance for a beach vacation.
