      Amazing Lake Michigan Waterfront Custom Home With The Most Incredible Views!!!

      Property featured as the cover image of White Lake area Visitor Guide 2023.

      Welcome to Beachin View Villa! Perfectly situated directly on a 4+ acre Lake Michigan frontage lot. This three bedroom home has 183 feet of Private sandy beach. The amazing views are some of the most unique you'll ever see as this extensively custom engineered home is literally built at the peak of one of the highest dunes in the area. With an elevation approaching 100 feet, and virtually no trees to obstruct your view, you can see for greater than 10 miles and nearly 180 degrees of blue Lake Michigan waters without even stepping outside. No need to lower the window treatments and block out the breathtaking views of this extremely private location as it is located in the exclusive, safe and gated North Gray Dunes Association. Catch a glimpse of shipping freighters as they pass by in the distance while enjoying a cup of coffee, espresso, cappuccino or cafe' latte (coffee maker, espresso machine and coffee bean grinder supplied). Watch your children as they play on the beach below or play on the private swing set just steps away from the water's edge.
      Enjoy a competitive game of sand volleyball on the extensive soft, sandy beachfront. Play a bit of catch with a baseball and glove or toss a frisbee with family members while barefoot on the beach. Walk for miles along the beach while framed by a beautiful picturesque Lake Michigan backdrop. Enjoy a peaceful paddle along the shoreline in the two supplied kayaks. Turn a keen eye to the sky and the tree tops, and you just may spot one of the local American Bald Eagles searching the waters for food to feed their young. Recall simpler days as you reconnect with family members over a board game in the luxurious, view filled, four season room. Pitch a tent up on the beach for the kids to enjoy an evening at a private lakeside campsite. Relax with a glass of wine as you witness some of the most amazing sunsets you'll ever see. Enjoy smores cooked over the fire pit, or observe planets and other views of the universe through the provided electronic drive and computer controlled Meade telescope with some of the darkest skies Michigan has to offer. This is the perfect private beach retreat. The ultimate peaceful seclusion of a truly private beach retreat with full access to connect with loved ones or work via the new Fiber Optic 1000 mb/sec ultrafast internet added September 2021.

      Incredible views
      My sister and I had a great time. Perfect weather most of the time. We took those steps to the beach every day. Although not easy, I made it with two artificial knees and an artificial hip. I highly recommend it! The house was perfect. It was clean. The kitchen was well stocked. The linens were high quality. The beds were comfortable. I loved the sound system. The four season room has incredible views and comfortable furniture to sit on and enjoy the views. The views from the bedrooms were perfect. While there we visited Claybanks Pottery Studio, the Country Dairy Farm (sandwiches and endless chocolate milk were great!), Cherry Point Farm and Market, Fox Barn Market and Winery, and Bardic Wells Meadery. The last was recommended by the hosts and I'm glad they did. The owner of the Meadery was very entertaining while we were tasting. This was a perfect vacation for us.

      A perfect staycation
      We took our children to the lake for a mini spring break adventure and could not have been more pleased. The home was clean, there was so much attention to detail from the game closet to the snow & beach gear (it’s March in Mich- we used both 😂) and the host was super helpful and responsive. The views are exactly as pictured and simply breathtaking. The dunes are peaceful and quiet, the waves were amazing to listen to at night. Highly recommend!

      Phenomenal Home/Views!!
      Best VRBO experience yet! The pictures in the listing do a great job conveying the home/property, yet can't do them justice when compared to the real-life experience. The views are incredible, the house is laid out perfectly, well-appointed, with every detail any renter could ever think of taken care of. Cozy, beachy, comfortable, we loved every second of our stay (even after the trek up the ramps/stairs with our gear). Sue and Joe were very responsive and flexible. We wanted a secluded place to relax and take in the views of spring/winter on Lake Michigan, and this home knocked it out of the park! 6/5 stars!

      Unimaginable access difficulty
      On our arrival date (2/19) we received a message from the Host that snow was present and that we would need to utilize several items, they have staged, to address and navigate the difficulty of a snow & ice coated 2-tier wooden decking ramp with a 10 deg incline angle for over 300-350 ft long. Upon arriving we had 2-3" of snow with an ice base underneath. The motorized cart, the Host provides, could not climb the ramp. Contacted the host & He advises me to utilize the track propelled snowblower in the garage to clear the rampway & then apply salt. Could not get the snowblower started so spent considerable time & effort to shovel off the boardwalk leaving enough of a snow covering for traction to pull a sled up the incline to bring all of our items, for a 6 day stay, up to the home. Once at the top of the ramp we now faced snow covered stairs that had to be cleared in order to go & down safely. 50 ft walkway to the home was also snow covered & icy. It took over 3 1/2 hrs to tackle the rampway & bring our possessions up to the home. Used the provided webbing spikes, the Host provides for assisting traction, but still required multiple trips up & down using a sled. My wife & I were physically & mentally exhausted after the ordeal. Next day we salted the entire ramp distance to remove the remaining ice base. The home is beautiful & views stunning but if you rent this unit in the winter the Host expects you to deal w/this rather than them contracting the task out.

      Spectacular lakeside house
      This house is set on a spectacular hill overlooking Lake Michigan. The house was clean and cozy, and we had a wonderful time walking along the beach and taking in the lake views. We were rewarded on our last morning with a bald eagle perched on a tree right outside the window. If you stay here, make sure to take advantage of the snow-trax shoe coverings on the sometimes-slippery walkway!
