- "The property is BRAND NEW and outfitted perfectly. We are four longtime friends who like to cook, shop, walk around, and laugh. We were able to do all of that in GR. We had a three-night stay and did the farmers market, an impromptu gospel concert that was incredible, breakfasts at Anna's House (incredible), barbequed in the backyard, tons of walking, and a day in Saugatuck. Perfect end-of-summer fall getaway. Kudos to the owner for making a great home away. Best VRBO I've ever stayed at."

Our Cottage is directly across from the state park in Grand Haven. 5 bedroom, 2 bath home directly across the street from the state park, and completely renovated makes this cottage the perfect location with all the modern conveniences. The upper-level renovation was just completed in March of 2022 with updated decor, bedding, and new carpet.
We book from Saturday to Saturday all summer. We also book long weekends or a minimum of 2 days for the rest of the year. It is the perfect getaway year-round. In the summer you are steps away from the beach and in the fall and winter watch waves crash into the pier and lighthouse from the front four season room. The main floor has newer appliances including a washer and dryer. Marble counters with snack bar, wood plank flooring, and shiplap walls.
Huge deck with picnic table and gas grill with beautiful views of Lake Michigan. We are thrilled to present La Dolce Vita. Please email or call with questions.

- "It was perfect and fit most of our needs. One item that I would of loved to see is a permanent hand rail in one of the showers. It seems like a little thing to bring up, but for us older folks, it is a big deal. The parking was perfect and getting in and out was wonderful. Overall, I would rent again and had a wonderful time." - "We loved our stay! The location is excellent, right across the street from the beach. The home is clean and comfortable. We had 4 adults and 3 children and there was plenty of space. Air conditioning works very well. On site laundry is very handy to have! We have already booked again for next summer!"

Grand Haven cottage description
Seeking a Lake Michigan cottage with spectacular views of the Lake and sunsets from your deck? Pair-A-Dice is the quaint cottage in Grand Haven, Michigan on the quiet, peaceful south section of Highland Park just for you and your family and friends.
Your cottage is a three-minute drive to downtown Grand Haven. Or better yet, it is a relaxing 15-minute walk along a safe boardwalk to the Grand Haven waterfront. During your walk, you will experience the beautiful vistas of Lake Michigan and the Grand River along your way.
Built in 1906, the cottage is a historic landmark in Highland Park. Pair-A-Dice retains much of its original charm as many items in the cottage are original. More than 100 cottages are tucked in the sand dunes of this area with a system of boardwalks and walkways built throughout the natural preserve. Pair-A-Dice, one of the few cottages overlooking Lake Michigan and her beach, offers its guests the beautiful sunsets on your large private deck while you drink, dine and scream for ice cream. For quick, safe, and easy access, just step on down the Highland Park Boardwalk to arrive at your beach.
Enjoy watching the Grand Haven Pier’s catwalk lite up at night looking like a string of pearls. Take a midnight stroll through Highland Park or dip in the lake below. Fall asleep with the sound of the waves and enjoy the cool fresh lake breeze. Awaken to the romantic sound of the Pier’s foghorn on the mornings the boaters and fishermen need visual assistance.
A screened-in front porch, with an attached deck, are ideal for reading, sunset watching, and experiencing the fall storms as they rumble in over Lake Michigan. Please close the windows or you will get wet. There is a small back porch for storage, for your bikes, coolers, beach bags, fishing poles and kites.
Enjoy five bedrooms, one full bath downstairs and one full bathroom upstairs. The upstairs has a deluxe new bathroom with a separate shower/bath and toilet with vanity. Also, this addition added a bedroom off the bathroom hallway. Three bedrooms have full beds, one bedroom has a set of twin beds and a fifth bedroom has sailor boys and girls bunk beds. The cottage sleeps eight adults and two children comfortably. Two bedrooms have lake views while you are resting in bed. The new addition bedroom overlooks the protected wooded sand dune nature preserve
September is the locals’ time to be swimming and fishing for Salmon in the Lake. Often the water is warmer than the air and the waves are perfect for body surfing, or watching the surfers. The beach crowds are gone however the city is still open with mostly local characters. The renowned lake getaway of Grand Haven is another must-see spot along Michigan’s Lower Peninsula on the West Coast. Visitors can choose from Grand Haven City Beach, Grand Haven State Park, or North Beach Park, which is just north of Grand Haven in Ferrysburg. For some hidden gems during peak season, you can also head to Olive Shores Park, Buchanan Beach, Rosy Mound Natural Area, or Windsnest Park. Staying in Grand Haven means you're never far from a natural sunbathing spot, a refreshing swim, a charming lighthouse, or a stunning sunset.
- "This place is a quintessential beach house, filled with historic character. The location is perfect with a boardwalk that ends right on the beach. The house is located on the bluff directly above the beach with incredible views. It is also a quick drive to downtown Grand Haven. A few things to consider: * Four bedrooms have partial height walls, sharing a common ceiling and common overhead light - bring sound machines to help with the noise transfer between rooms! * While the listing accommodates a fair number of people, each room is very tiny. Dining table and living room each accommodate only 6 at a time. Deck is slightly larger but still a bit tight. * Kitchen is very small with limited counter space. Oven temp was inconsistent which made cooking a bit challenging. * The grill on the deck was not working. Jay made an attempt to fix it during our stay but unfortunately it still didn’t work. Overall, Jay was a very attentive host and we loved our stay!"

Looking for a vacation to remember in popular Grand Haven, named one of the world’s greatest “secret beaches” by Travel+Leisure Magazine? Point comfort is the perfect spot for the person who likes the convenience of being close to wonderful restaurants, award winning breweries, local boutique shopping and gourmet coffee shops. Like to unwind and relax? Simply grab a towel & beach chair and walk down to the water without the hassle of fighting for parking or a space on a crowded public beach!
Sound like what you are looking for? Let’s take a look inside.
As you pull up you will immediately notice that Point Comfort has a large deck that provides great entertainment space and a peaceful place to watch the sunset. As you enter the cottage into an enclosed porch area, you will find comfortable seating for everyone and an area that is perfect for reading, card games, and entertaining.
Around the corner in the kitchen, you can find all the major appliances, utensils, and pots and pans for cooking homemade meals. For larger groups, the cottage comes with two dining room tables available just outside the kitchen and inside the enclosed porch.
As you move upstairs, you will find 4 bedrooms, each with new queen mattresses so that you can have that restful sleep you’re looking for on your vacation. The main bathroom is upstairs and has a classic cottage feel with a vintage claw tub.
Downstairs in the basement, you will find a clothes washer and dryer (in case you need to do a quick load of laundry), an additional toilet room and a newly-installed cedar enclosed shower.
Point Comfort has a covered parking garage with space for 2 vehicles and is located next to the cottage for your convenience. Additional parking spots are also available upon request in nearby lots.
The cottage does come with a television and internet for your convenience.
Point Comfort is a staple cottage in the Highland Park community. It has been family-owned for over 50 years and has been a place that generations of children and grand-children have grown up visiting every summer. It is a treasure to the family, but we recognize it is not the perfect spot for everyone. The cottage is a cottage that has been well-maintained and updated, with ceiling and window fans and lake breezes, but no air-conditioning. For guests with mobility concerns, there is a flight of stairs to access all bedrooms and both bathrooms. Lastly, Highland Park is a family community with strict noise standards at night. As a result, we have a strict “no parties” house rule.
We look forward to sharing our cottage with your family and friends and hearing about the memories you make at Point Comfort.
- "I love the location of this house, and with it being on a hill, it doesn't feel like you are in the midwest. The view of the lake was our favorite part, and the short walk to the beach couldn't be beat. Nice kitchen with everything that we needed, cozy livingroom, and a deck to hang out on. We would come back here again, beautiful location!" - "We love making memories at this cabin. Second year for us and we will be coming back!!" - "Our friends had a great time staying at this house - the location is perfect because there are steps that lead right down to the beach area. We thoroughly enjoyed the outside deck and screened in room, which provide views of the lake. The house was very clean upon check-in, and it came very well stocked with items we needed throughout our stay. Communication with the owner was great. Would definitely rent this place again! Thank you!"

REVIEWS
"We loved the house! It was very relaxing to sit on in the sun room with the windows open and listen to the trees, birds and feel the cool breeze. We loved the rustic look! The homes had everything you needed for a great trip! Each room had a fan and multiple outlets. It was a work out to get to the house, up all the steps but we loved it and it was very unique. "
Dawne S.
"We had a lovely stay. It feels like you are in a treehouse; so peaceful and beautiful and only a few minutes from the beach! The stairs are real - you were warned but they are totally worth it."

Enjoy the huge deck overlooking Lake Michigan or take a walk on the pier while you watch the breathtaking sunsets. The perfect vacation awaits you - great for families, couples or friends!
Smart TVs throughout the house allow you to log in to your favorite streaming services. A washer and dryer are located on the main floor of the house, as well as a master bedroom that overlooks lake Michigan. The master bedroom also has an attached bathroom and closets lining both sides of the room! Upstairs, 2 bedrooms - 1 with a queen bed, the other with a twin daybed and twin trundle - and a loft area with a TV. There's also a balcony off of the upstairs bedrooms with a 2-chair patio set. The spacious kitchen includes all you need to cook a meal, and seating for 3 at the bar-top table - there's also a dining table that seats 4 next to the kitchen.
*NOTE: There is a Ring doorbell on the back porch to ensure owner, guest and property safety. If you have questions or concerns regarding this, please reach out.
*NOTE: PLEASE indicate if you are bringing a pet - we do require a pet fee, and like to let our neighbors know when guests are bringing dogs so we can make sure there are no issues!
NOTE: I (Abbi) meticulously clean the cottage myself as we cannot find a reliable company that meets our standards. Please treat the cottage as your own during your stay to avoid an extra cleaning fee!
- "Wonderful. " - "This was, simply put, one of the most impressive and memorable places we’ve stayed on vacation. My 8-year-old son, my wife and my mom were all blown away by it — starting with the views. From the back patio, the living room, even the bedrooms, we had a nearly panoramic view of Lake Michigan. We spent hours sitting outside watching the boats pass by, revelers on the beach and the famed Grand Haven sunsets without needing to leave. We could walk across the street to the beach, bypassing parking fees and waits in line when things got crowded. Downtown shops and restaurants were minutes away by car, or could be reached with a short walk. The location could not be beat, though the amenities and cozy touches inside the home were close. Multiple smart TVs, plus an epic record and CD collection, kept us all entertained on the one rainy night we had. Abbi was an incredible host, having everything impeccably clean for our arrival. She even had frozen pizzas stocked in case we were too tired to cook or go out to eat. We left all agreeing that it was a magical trip. Our only hope is to make it back to Up-A-Wae soon."

Everything we needed (linens, towels, pot, pans) were all provided and in great condition. The checkin/ checkout process were very easy and not overly burdensome like some rentals are. The beach was a 5 minute walk, town close by and tons of places to get food and good playgrounds for the kids. Can’t say enough good things. "

"Our stay at this cottage was 10/10. My husband and I are from Ohio. We came here to get away for a long weekend in December, and fell in love with the area.

"We loved staying at this cottage off of Lake Michigan nestled high in the woods. It was so cozy, clean, and quaint. My family loved to do morning and night walks on the beach, pier and through the woods. The hosts are super responsive and accommodating. We will definitely be back!"
Morgan F.
"This was such a cozy and comfortable stay this past fall. We have four kids who happily slumbered in the bunk room while my husband and I had the other room. It was so fun to leave the cottage on foot to either the beach, woods or playground at Mulligans Hollow. We would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway."
Lauren G.
- "This was a rather last minute booking, so to find something this perfect to be available was a real surprise. The property had everything we needed, could use some upgrades to the patio furniture ..of the two chairs provided, when we moved the back cushion of one we noticed the entire backing was blown out, and the second one began to crack during our stay, so we had to get creative with borrowing chairs from my brother who fortunately lives in town. No real complaints though! Neighbors were a little rude when we arrived, but they thought we were taking their parking space which we weren’t. Would stay here again! It was cozy, yes, but plenty enough space for our young kids and could have even slept another 1, or 2:)"

This is a traditional cottage built in the 1950's and updated in the 1980's. It sits on a sand dune with a spectacular view of the Lake. Four bedrooms and two full baths. Could sleep eight. Cable/internet. No AC. Space heater in the living room. No WD. Yes Dishwasher. Microwave. Fully furnished kitchen. Bedding and towels provided. The cottage is in a small community of cottages and year-around houses with a private driveway and 20 acre wood. There is ample parking and privacy. Access to the beach is from shared steps a hundred yards away. Located 5 miles south of Grand Haven, Michigan, a charming town with a full set of services. The cottage has an open plan kitchen and living room. They share an island for breakfast and lunch. The living room has a picture window facing due west. In addition, there is a very large screened porch for dining and entertaining and a deck facing the Lake. The cottage experience is open to nature rather than bunkering indoors.
- "We've stayed at many cottages on Lake Michigan over the last 20+ years. Have never seen a better view of the lake. Vintage cottage, well maintained, hope to return next year." - "You can't beat the view of the lake from the cottage! We saw a gorgeous sunset over Lake Michigan almost every evening. There are large living areas including the open living room/kitchen area with snack bar seating, and a large sunroom with lots of seating and tables for game playing. The bedrooms all have closets and storage. Two full baths is a plus. Spacious deck with lots of chairs. Don't bother bringing extras - the house is stocked with sand chairs, toys, everything you need. It's a short walk to the beach, 2 lots down and a flight of stairs - and unlike some areas that have eroded this one does have a nice beach to sit on! The only negative is that like most cottages there's no AC so the place can be toasty despite fans - we were there during mid-80's temps. And be aware that there are dog ticks around the house and property."

“PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PROPERTY DOES NOT HAVE AIR CONDITIONING.”
Peaceful, remote, and serene describe this remarkable property located just minutes from downtown Grand Haven. Two hundred and sixty feet of private, seawall-protected Lake Michigan beachfront await you at the end of a winding, tree-lined drive throughout this wooded dune.
"Beautiful home with vintage cottage charm! We loved the many outdoor spaces to enjoy Lake Michigan. Very peaceful and private."
Ellen R.
INSIDE THE HOME
The main floor features a spacious living and dining area with plenty of options to gather together or break away for quiet conversation. Step out to the roomy, attached lake facing screened porch for your morning coffee or cozy up in the evening to watch the famous Lake Michigan sunsets. Plan your daily meals in the roomy kitchen and step out to the second attached screened porch where you will find plenty of room to serve everyone at the spacious farmhouse dining table. A convenient main floor bedroom with a full bed and separate full bath complete this floor.
Wander upstairs where you will find a lake-facing bedroom with two twins, a bunk room with one set of twin bunks and an additional twin bed, and a fabulous master bedroom with a king bed, twin daybed, half bath, and amazing private sundeck overlooking the shoreline. An additional full bath completes this floor.
* Please note, this home does not have a washer/dryer on site. There is no air conditioning, but the lake breeze is cooler in the evening. The fire place is purely decorative and not for guest use. *
THE LOCATION
Step outside to enjoy the day lounging in the sunshine on your remote stretch of sandy beach. Rent kayaks or paddleboards locally and explore the shoreline at your own pace. Keep an eye out for local deer who occasionally wander from the wooded dune to the lake for a refreshing drink of water.
Retreat to the cottage after a day in the sun and plan a barbecue on the side deck or take a short drive to nearby Grand Haven/Spring Lake and enjoy local pubs or fine dining. Treat everyone to ice cream, walk along the channel and watch the boats travel by. Plenty of retail therapy options can be found as well in this bustling resort town.
Once back at your retreat wind down the evening with a fire in the new Solo Stove while making plans for your next day's adventures.

The hosts thought of everything, from cozy touches to thoughtful amenities that made us feel right at home. Peaceful mornings on the porch and unforgettable sunsets made this stay magical. Can’t wait to come back—highly recommend!" - "We were disappointed that the property was on the main road and so close to the main road that road noise was terrible. The bathroom was very cramped and the "rooms" upstairs were not great. The stairs are not up to code and the flooring on the first floor is not good as it is unlevel throughout."

Harborside Grand Haven is a fully remodeled and updated 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath cottage located on Grand Haven's sought-after Harbor Drive. This Cottage has stunning views of the Grand Haven Channel/Board Walk and Lake Michigan.
The cottage sits at the base of a dune with walking access to Grand Haven's many attractions: steps to the Channel/Boardwalk, across the street from Grand Haven State Park Beach and the shores of Lake Michigan, and 1/2 mile walk to downtown Grand Haven (The Kirby, Musical Fountain, etc.).
- "Perfect access to the beaches!" - "The Harborside cottage was perfect for a week's stay in late June with several groups of family members coming and going. We were all so comfortable in the living room and thoroughly enjoyed gathering on the deck with drinks to talk and people watch. Everything we needed was supplied and we used the grill several times. The wagon in the garage was a lifesaver getting to the beach with all the stuff. The bedrooms were each very nicely decorated and allowed us to be flexible with the sleeping arrangements. All the special decorations on the walls made us feel like it was a home, not just a 'rental'. We sure appreciated the gift bag on arrival - delicious Michigan offerings. It was very easy to communicate with the owners and we hope to stay again soon. Thank you for a memorable week. G&A Smith"

Come enjoy this historic cottage with views of Lake Michigan. It is just a short walk down to the beach. Beautiful wooded trails just steps from the cottage and you are only 1.5 miles from downtown Grand Haven. Although, you might not want to leave the large screened in porch as you sit and listen to the waves and watch the beautiful sunsets. Either way you will love vacationing here.
- "My family of four and one infant stayed here for 8 nights during Coast Guard week. We loved our stay here. Every room was so comfortable and we especially enjoyed the outdoor porch area. It was so relaxing looking at Lake Michigan every day. The location is great, close to the beach, the pier, downtown and watching sunset at the point. I sure hope we get to stay here again some day!"

PLEASE NOTE - like most homes in the downtown area of Grand Haven this house is over 100 years old, which means lots of character and a great location but also means things like steeper stairs, upstairs has a gabled roof, radiator heating which means window AC units not central air and while the kitchen is otherwise fully equipped there is no dishwasher.

Also as listed we do not have cable TV - but do have a new smart TV with Roku with a DVD player and do have Wifi. Our hope is that you will take advantage of time spent with others, enjoy our puzzles, games, books and creating memories together! We do offer longer stay off season rental often as well - please inquire.
Other things to note
Please note that while the kitchen has just about everything, it does not have a dishwasher - so dishes need to be washed by hand. Also note as seen in photos that the two upstairs rooms are separated by a curtain as it is not possible to have a door with the gabled roof. Any other questions?? Just ask!!
Our family has a long history with Grand Haven, the Vinks and other family immigrated to the area in the 1800's and have been in the area ever since. This house is named in honor of my beloved Grandma Ruth who passed away several years ago but is where my love of Grand Haven and hosting others came from. She grew up in Grand Haven - just a few blocks from here and my childhood summers were spent coming back with Grandma to see family and friends. Family and heritage was important to her and we have loved being able to honor her memory in many of the photos in the house. We hope you will enjoy a little of our family history as well!

"This place was way better than advertised. Ideal location, incredible layout. Best Lake Michigan experience I've had. I would highly recommend. Communication was proactive and detailed. Felt right at home and hated to leave."
Michael B.
"This was the perfect spot for our family of 4. Right across from the beach with amazing views of the sunset each night. Small house but has everything you need! Nicely decorated and plenty of storage. Property manager was very prompt and helpful when we had an issue with the door lock! Would definitely recommend and stay again!"

Looking for a vacation to remember in popular Grand Haven, named one of the world’s greatest “secret beaches” by Travel+Leisure Magazine? Point comfort is the perfect spot for the person who likes the convenience of being close to wonderful restaurants, award winning breweries, local boutique shopping and gourmet coffee shops. Like to unwind and relax? Simply grab a towel & beach chair and walk down to the water without the hassle of fighting for parking or a space on a crowded public beach!
The space
Sound like what you are looking for? Let’s take a look inside.
As you pull up you will immediately notice that Point Comfort has a large deck that provides great entertainment space and a peaceful place to watch the sunset. As you enter the cottage into an enclosed porch area, you will find comfortable seating for everyone and an area that is perfect for reading, card games, and entertaining.
Around the corner in the kitchen, you can find all the major appliances, utensils, and pots and pans for cooking homemade meals. For larger groups, the cottage comes with two dining room tables available just outside the kitchen and inside the enclosed porch.
As you move upstairs, you will find 4 bedrooms, each with new queen mattresses so that you can have that restful sleep you’re looking for on your vacation. The main bathroom is upstairs and has a classic cottage feel with a vintage claw tub.
Downstairs in the basement, you will find a clothes washer and dryer (in case you need to do a quick load of laundry), an additional toilet room and a newly-installed cedar enclosed shower.
Point Comfort has a covered parking garage with space for 2 vehicles and is located next to the cottage for your convenience. Additional parking spots are also available upon request in nearby lots.
The cottage does come with a television and internet for your convenience.
Point Comfort is a staple cottage in the Highland Park community. It has been family-owned for over 50 years and has been a place that generations of children and grand-children have grown up visiting every summer. It is a treasure to the family, but we recognize it is not the perfect spot for everyone. The cottage is a cottage that has been well-maintained and updated, with ceiling and window fans and lake breezes, but no air-conditioning. For guests with mobility concerns, there is a flight of stairs to access all bedrooms and both bathrooms. Lastly, Highland Park is a family community with strict noise standards at night. As a result, we have a strict “no parties” house rule.
We look forward to sharing our cottage with your family and friends and hearing about the memories you make at Point Comfort.

REVIEWS
"We loved the house! It was very relaxing to sit on in the sun room with the windows open and listen to the trees, birds and feel the cool breeze. We loved the rustic look! The homes had everything you needed for a great trip! Each room had a fan and multiple outlets. It was a work out to get to the house, up all the steps but we loved it and it was very unique. "
Dawne S.
"The house had a peaceful cabin feel even though the beach was only a 5-minute walk away. Great location. Would love to stay here again."

REVIEWS
"We loved staying at this cottage off of Lake Michigan nestled high in the woods. It was so cozy, clean, and quaint. My family loved to do morning and night walks on the beach, pier and through the woods. The hosts are super responsive and accommodating. We will definitely be back!"
Morgan F.
"This was such a cozy and comfortable stay this past fall. We have four kids who happily slumbered in the bunk room while my husband and I had the other room. It was so fun to leave the cottage on foot to either the beach, woods or playground at Mulligans Hollow. We would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway."
Lauren G.
"Our stay at this cottage was 10/10. My husband and I are from Ohio. We came here to get away for a long weekend in December, and fell in love with the area. The walks through the woods and on the boardwalk were our favorite. We will definitely be back this summer to stay at this same cottage. Stunning location!"

"Perfect place for a family gathering. The home was set back from the road quite a bit which gave us the rustic feel we were looking for. You cannot beat the views and the sunsets were glorious!"
