Walk to Everything and make special family memories together in our home. Lake Michigan beaches, Holland State Park, Mt. Pisgah, the General Store, and Lake Mac are all minutes away by foot. Special location in charming historic community. Very well equipped home with 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, large outdoor patio with grill, beach wagons, towels, toys, etc. Clean, comfortable, and we strive to exceed all expectations. 15 min to downtown Holland.

Located in Holland, Michigan on a quiet street in the historic Ottawa beach community. Ideal for two to three families (6 adults plus kids or 8-10 adults) for a memorable vacation. The house is a very short walk away from some of the best vacationing Holland has to offer, summer, winter or whatever the season.

The beach house is literally next door to Holland State Park and the Mt. Pisgah Sand Dunes with beautiful Lake Michigan beaches less than a 10 minute walk away. Making family memories here is easy.

With Holland State Park and its sugar sand Lake Michigan beaches a short walk away, there’s never a hassle parking, paying, or waiting in lines.

Simply pack the two over-sized beach wagons with your kids, gear, cooler, Bluetooth speaker (all gear provided, except for kids!) and stroll the boardwalk to the Lake Michigan neighborhood association beach. Use the map below to get a bird’s eye view of just how close the beach, and other local amenities, are to where you will be staying.

And if walking 10 minutes to Lake Michigan is too far, Lake Macatawa is less than 5 minutes outside your door, with several fishing piers, boardwalks to stroll along, and a beach with stand-up paddle board rentals. There are also miles and miles of bike paths and local spots to rent your own kayaks, bikes, stand-up paddle boards, motor boats, and jet skis nearby.

From Memorial Day to Labor Day the historic Ottawa Beach General Store is a 2 min walk away for groceries, drinks, ice-cream and supplies. Dune Dogs hot dog and ice cream stand is also a 2 minute walk, and La Playa Mexican restaurant is a 5 min walk. If you pick-up groceries (or have them delivered via Shipt) it’s easy to not have to drive for days!

When you do want to get out and explore, picturesque Downtown Holland with all of its great shopping, dining, and sightseeing is a 15 minute drive away. Grand Haven and Saugatuck are around 30 minutes, and Grand Rapids around 45 minutes.

----------------------------
House and Amenities
----------------------------

The beach house is very clean, well maintained, nicely furnished, and over-equipped for comfortable living and enjoying family time together. Each bed is newer and comfortable with clean high quality linens and towels. There’s central air to keep your group cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

There are five bedrooms and 3.5 baths. A master bed/bath is on the main floor, along with an extra half-bath off the kitchen. Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath. Downstairs, is another 750 sq/ft of living space downstairs with a bedroom, full bathroom, kids room/playroom with bunks and a second family room with 65" TV and kitchenette. This home lives well!

The kitchen (on the main floor) is fully stocked, easily seats 6-8 plus some kids, and includes nearly everything you need to cook great meals (quality knives, pots/pans, silverware, dishes, cups, coffee maker, French press, etc.) along with a dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, oven, and a Weber gas grill and grill tools for the oversized patio.

Enjoy high speed internet/wifi, Sonos speakers in almost every room, and both TVs have Roku. Note: there are no TVs in bedrooms and this house doesn't not have cable - all TVs have a Roku for streaming your Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube, etc. Gas fireplace in the winter, and in the summer, grill out on the patio.

Go to the beach with plenty of items in the garage, including two big beach wagons, kids’ toys, corn hole, Bluetooth speaker, umbrella, and much more. When you get back, there's a shower outside.

If you need it, there’s a huge top-of-the-line LG washer and dryer, iron, ironing board, and most other household appliances you might need.

This is our own personal family vacation home. We enjoy making family memories here with our four little girls and we’ve done our best to make it a comfortable, enjoyable, and special place. If Holland is your destination, and we are within your budget, we hope you will stay here and enjoy our home (and respect it along with our neighbors) as much as we do!

Terrific Beach House

This is a completely renovated, spacious, clean, and well situated Beach house. There is room inside and outside for the entire family. Lake Michigan is about a five minute walk away. And there are hiking trails very close nearby. Love it!

Perfect for families

The property was well maintained, spacious, and perfect for families. The location is walking distance to the beach and has a lot of toys and beach supplies specifically for children. Our extended family of 11 stayed here in June and had plenty of room for everyone. The owners are quick to respond to questions and everything is well-organized in the directions. We would stay here again and hope to return soon.

Holland Beach House

Everything was very good including the layout of the house for all 11 to enjoy. The house was clean and well stocked with soap, paper supplies, dishes, pots and pans, and toys and games for kids and adults. The outside was well kept and patio we enjoyed with an excellent grill for cooking. The walk to the beach, general store, and boat slip makes the location very easy to get to with kids.

Sisters weekend

This home was amazing!!!There were seven of us and we had a wonderful time. The house is well stocked with everything needed. Towels, linens, kitchen equipment and all furnishings were high quality. The location is perfect, you can easily walk to the State Park and the General Store. We ranged in age from 60 to 85 but the house has toys, beach toys, beach chairs, wagons and things for small children, it would be perfect for multiple families. I've stayed at a number of VRBOs and B&B's over the years and this was one of the best. Highly recommended.

Great location and well set up house

Lovely modern house with a great set up for families with kids. Lots of kids things inside (crib, baby gates, step stools, toys and a whole playroom downstairs) and outdoor toys as well! The beach wagons and beach equipment were so helpful and the walk to the beach took about 15 min with kids. Loved the ice cream shop right down the street. Holland beach is big and has a great playground and tunnel beach is a short adult bike ride away. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful property

My family and I had a great vacation while staying at your home. The house was clean and comfortable with plenty of amenities. My kids loved the games and toys and I loved that the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, cups, plates, pans, etc. The front porch was great to sit and relax in the chairs and it was nice and quiet! The screened-in porch was great to eat on as well as the table on the patio. We loved the location, within walking distance to the General Store (which had yummy fresh donuts), Dune Dogz (yummy ice cream), Mt. Pisgah (amazing views), Ottawa Beach Inn (yummy food) and of course the beach! We appreciated that there was a wagon and stroller to use, as well as beach chairs. We loved being close to so many of Holland's attractions! What a wonderful trip!

Very good

The home is very nice and recently updated. The floor plan maximizes the comfort for a family. The owner contacted us a few times and check in. The owner has many items, beach toys and toiletries for use by guests. We had only a few complaints. The ice maker did not work on the refrigerator which was only a big deal because the temperature was in the high 80's every day and we had to go to the store to buy ice during our week. Overall, the cottage is clean and we would recommend it to families, but be prepared to walk a decent distance and up a hill to get to the beach.

About the host

Hosted by Jeremy & Rachael Allen

Host profile image
Our family of mom, dad and three little girls loves traveling, hosting, spending special time with our friends and family, backpacking, camping, running, biking, and living life to the full. Ever since our honeymoon in the Turks and Caicos at a vacation rental, we've loved sharing our homes with travelers.

Why they chose this property

Thank you for allowing us to share our beautiful beach house with you. When we purchased in in the summer of 2015, we knew we'd make special memories here for years to come, and were excited to share it with others when we aren't there. This is a very special home and location in Holland that allows us to live near Rachael's family several months a year while we visit, and share with others when we are home in Seattle.
