Lovely beachfront property!
A private, beautifully appointed place on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. Access to both South Bar Lake and Lake Michigan was very convenient. Privacy and quiet were stellar, only interrupted by soothing waves. We would recommend Sunset Suite without reservation and in fact, we’ve already reserved for next year

Location onLake Michigan was special. Could walk the beach and sit under an umbrella on a sunny day
This studio unit had enough space for both sitting comfortably and sleeping. The bathroom was large. More space than in hotel rooms. Nice porch for outdoor sitting.

Amazing views of Lake Michigan!
Such a cute place to stay! It’s tiny but the views are incredible. You have views of water from both sides of the rental. The owners live in the house but we never heard or saw them (until we were packing up the car to leave). It is one of the best locations I have ever stayed in. It felt like we had the entire beach to ourselves since there are not a lot of properties. Look no further and just book this property, you won’t regret it!!

Empire Beach Stay
The property was immaculate! The hosts were wonderful! Our stay couldn’t have been better. The little town was quaint with some shops and close to several other towns with all kinds of restaurants and amenities. Planning on returning in the fall for the trees turning!
