In the Shade, By the Beach -Welcome Home

About the property:

This cozy Grand Haven home is nestled in the dunes with unobstructed nature views from every window. The light and scenery bring the wooded setting right to your back porch. The perfect place to unwind and disconnect by the beach.

The main floor's open concept hosts a large kitchen with high end appliances, living room, dining area and family room with wood floors and half bath. The family room opens to an incredible backyard deck area and the stone fireplace perfect for creating lasting memories with family and friends over roasted marshmallows. Upstairs, you will find the three spacious bedrooms including a master suite, two bathrooms with double sinks, and an area to do laundry.

Located between Holland and Grand Haven for convenient shopping and activities. If you are up for a hike, climb the steps off the backyard to enjoy beautiful sunset views over the lake. If you like hiking, swimming, biking, or just laying by the beach; this town has so much to offer!


**Lake Michigan water levels are at a record breaking high and have washed away a large portion of our beloved dunes along with the steps leading to the private beach. No worries though, there are plenty of beaches less than a mile away to enjoy!

- No events, parties, or large gatherings
- You are responsible for any damages the occur during you stay

Beautiful Location with Full Amenities
The Montana family decided to come to the Michigan family to celebrate Thanksgiving in 2024. This home was a perfect location for the nearby MI family. The home is surrounded by trees and is in an absolute beautiful setting. Kitchen was fully furnished to accommodate seveal homemade meals. The grandparents loved the quiet sitting area off the kitchen for morning coffee and Wordle. The living room was cozy and the proximity of the kitchen table allowed for all to enjoy the TV. Bedrooms were generous in size and very accomodating for 4 adults and 3 children. Bathrooms were spacious. Owners were quick with responses when questions were asked. Garage did have tools availabile to help with the snowfall that occured while we were there. There were several nice parks right down the street. Cant wait to come back in the summer months to enjoy the yard and backdeck, and of course Lake Michigan. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

Wedding weekend
We were in town because my son was getting married at Camp Blodgett. We decided to make a 4 day weekend out of it and golf different courses in area too. The house was very nice inside and had plenty of spaces inside to socialize or find a spot yourself. Beds were comfortable, showers were spacious and bedrooms were too. I would definitely stay here again. And definitely take the walk up to the beach overlook.

Winter stay
We rented for a couple months over the winter while our house was remodeled. Maggy was great to work with! She’s a great communicator and quick to respond to respond to any questions. The house was perfect for our family of 4. It had all the basics of everything we needed. Best part is the stairs to an amazing view of Lake Michigan. It was a great workout with a beautiful reward at the end. Perfect location between holland and grand haven.

Quiet Family Getaway
In the Shade, By the Beach was a great property close to Holland, beaches and parks. The setup was perfect for our group of 7 including two young children and 5 adults. The kitchen was well equipped for meals at home and the back patio was peaceful. The views from the top of the dunes on the property were incredible despite the beach being inaccessible.

House was fine
The property was in a good location, between Holland and Grand Haven. We enjoyed our stay, but didn’t think the beds were that comfortable. The living room couch needs to be replaced and we did find it super strange that there was 1 kitchen towel, no full size towel bars in the upstairs full bathroom and the closets in the 2 bedrooms had racking in them and no place to hang up clothing.

Family Getaway
We had an amazing time staying at this cozy property in the woods! It accommodated the 6 of us comfortably. Very clean, and had everything we didn’t bring from home. We enjoyed bonfires, grilling out and the trek up the stairs to watch the sunset. The only downside was not being able to access Lake Michigan from the property. Kouw Park right down the road had an amazing playground, beach, and lake access. Highly recommend this property to a family wanting to explore the Holland area!

Great central location to tour SW Michigan Coast
Casa Arnyek is a comfortable house in a central location to enjoy touring the SW Coastal towns of Michigan. An easy drive to Grand Rapids, just outside Holland, Michigan. We enjoyed touring Grand Haven, Holland, Saugatuck, South Haven and Grand Rapids. Beer, Tulips and a tour of the Meyer May Frank Lloyd Wright house filled a 5-day visit. It was a rainy week in early May so we did not use the deck or outside areas. The stairs to the lake are as steep as they appear, so it's a workout to the top.

I loved the home, and we all slept comfortably. Home had proximity to everything that was on our to do list, both in Saugatuck and GrandHaven MI. Having 2.5 bathrooms was a huge plus. The owners kept in touch and gave feedback when I reached out with questions. I was disappointed that after climbing up 90+ steps and walking down a small plank path that there wasn’t a landing to sit on a chair or bench and take in the Lake view. There is a fence protecting the dunes, caution signs and people/homes off to the left & right. The climb up to the top of the steps was not really worth it since you couldn’t sit enjoy the view. Alas I only went up there once. We found WindsNest Beach 3.5 miles down the road and enjoyed the sunset there!

This was a great property that served us well. Convenient location to many area parks and beaches, but is away from the bustle of Holland traffic. Enjoyed looking from the dining room and seeing the beautiful surroundings of trees and dunes. If you're able, the walk up the stairs to the lookout over Lake Michigan is well worth it.
