About this property

The Grand Haven Lake Michigan Summer Family Home

Our Windy Dune built after the turn of the century on the sandy North Shore of Grand Haven, Windy Dune is a family summer dwelling, with pictures, candles, and family collections reminiscent of years-gone-by. A large, screened front porch facing the “big lake” is the setting for reading, talking, or just watching the weather change. 100 feet of sugar sandy Lake Michigan beach is the site of boating, swimming, or just hiking to the pier and watching sailboats, yachts, and ocean-going tankers come and go. Directly across the street, the Kitchel/Lindquist and Harold Hartger Dune Preserves chronicle beachscape, which allows for peaceful hikes through pines, over marshes, and across protected sand dunes. North Shore Marina is a 5 minute walk from Windy Dune as is the north pier.

Family fun
The windy dunes property was exactly as the pictures on the Vrbo site showed. Fantastic location to Lake Michigan. A beautiful, screened in porch to sit read, laugh, and have a dance party if you’re so inclined. Yes, this property is very old but exactly what we were looking for. The bathroom had been updated, that was a very nice surprise. We had seven adults in this house, and everybody had lots of room and we’re happy with the accommodations. No air conditioning but we lucked out and had beautiful weather, windows were open the whole week!

A nearly perfect family vacation!
My family loved the beach house! We spent every day at the beach and took the quick drive into town a time or two. The beach was amazing and the house clean and well-appointed. Some of my family struggled with the heat while sleeping (we all knew going in there was no AC) but the rest of us faired perfectly well with the fans provided by the host. We would love to book again in the future!!
