Beach across 1 Street! Location at it's finest!

Enjoy it all...a super clean, relaxing and enjoyable home that is only 1 street away from the beach! Treasure your time with making memories in a quiet neighborhood that is surrounded by vacation amenities. Cross one street and you will be at the City Beach known as Stearns Park. Mini Golf, concessions, volleyball nets, pier, and light house, along with a skate park and playground encompass the beach area.

5 walking blocks away is the downtown area which is known for shopping, restaurants (Indulge at House of Flavors Ice cream shop and restaurant- famous for countless flavors and smiles), Sand Castle Children's Museum, Library, Bike Shop & Rentals, Marina & Playground.

All aboard...Cruise Lake Michigan S.S. Badger Carferry from Ludington to Wisconsin daily. Go for the afternoon or overnight. Some travelers bring their vehicle on the carferry while others step on board. Conveniently located only a couple blocks from downtown, all within walking distance of this rental.


Relax indoors or out in this well kept 4 bedroom home. Peek a boo views of Lake Michigan from the kitchen, downstairs and upstairs west bedrooms. 2 bedrooms on the main level and 2 upstairs. Fresh linens provided for use in the home. Listen to the waves sitting in the yard or view the majestic sunsets. Cross the street to go fishing and savor a late night dinner on the grill!

Guests you will love the size of this yard! A lot of properties do not offer the size and layout of this entertaining sized yard especially with trees and open sunny space. It is hard to believe your in the city. Cool and comfortable in the shade part of the yard and sunny and bright in the other part of the yard. Regardless of where you are enjoying it there is plenty of room to sit and play! Relax on the patio that has spring chairs (like rockers) or sit in the adirondack chairs while roasting marshmallows otherwise, sit near the back door for a shaded conversation or perhaps in front of the house to watch the deer across the street (they do visit our yard too).

If you are Flying into Michigan here are a few options nearby:

1. Grand Rapids Airport (GRR) : This is located in Grand Rapids, MI It is about 1.5 hours
south of Ludington. This airport offers the most options for flights.

2. Muskegon Airport: This is located in Muskegon, MI. It is about 45 minutes south of Ludington. Their are less flight options but is is closer.

3. Traverse City Airport: Located in Traverse City, MI. It is about 1.5 hours North of Ludington.

4. Coming from Chicago? Amtrak train will depart from Chicago and stop in Grand Rapids, MI and Holland, MI. Both cities offer Budget and Hertz Car Rentals. Regardless of which city you depart from it is about 1.5 hour travel time to Ludington via car. Holland Amtrak station unloads passengers downtown Holland which is an award winning downtown community. It is landscaped with beautiful flowers, free standing brick fire pits, great shopping, an array of clean restaurants, and a splash pad for the kids! This opportunity to travel via Amtrak would allow you to stretch out visit the downtown area and check in at 4:00 or after.

Family vacation

We rented this house for a long family weekend with our adult children and 15 month old grandson. Stacy was very helpful and went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable. We enjoyed the backyard and close proximity to several beautiful beaches and parks.

Very nice and cozy! Excellent Customer Service too!

Stacy was INCREDIBLE to work with. There's zero doubt that her first priority was us being happy with our stay. Only one thing of note... When we arrived, there was a slight odor of what smelled like cat urine, which, as we all know is VERY difficult to get rid of. It wasn't completely overwhelming, but it was there, several of us commented on it. BUT, it wouldn't stop me or my friends from staying here again. Overall - it was a GREAT experience in a wonderful house with a great location and an incredible 'Host'.

Perfect Lake Michigan vacation

The whole family loved our stay in Ludington! The location of this house is ideal: an easy one-block walk (even for a 5-year-old and carrying beach toys and a cooler) from a wonderful, large, not-too-crowded beach — but just far enough away to provide a bit of privacy and one-block barrier from the beach noise. The water was great for our stay: hovering around 70 degrees all week, with middle-sized waves a few days and calm waters the others. We heard there was algae at further-up-the-coast beaches, but the water was crystal clear at our beach (Stearns Park). We also enjoyed being walking distance from the lighthouse (walked there for beautiful sunsets), shuffleboard, ice cream (tried something House of Flavors every night) and mini golf. The house had everything we needed. We made most meals at home aside from one dinner at Ludington Bay Brewery (the Tangelo beer was a nice find) and one at Chuckwagon Pizza, which were both good and walkable. With two adults and three kids, we actually had an extra bedroom. We would definitely love to stay here again next time we get a chance for a beach vacation.

Clean house. Our our group appreciated the older house that had modern appliances. The property manager was very quick and courteous in responding to a couple non house questions, I wanted extend the stay but the house was already booked. She did try and find other facilities in the area and I appreciated that. Check in was smooth. We didn't use the kitchen facilities or the wi for so no comment on that. We enjoyed the lawn furniture in the evening and left at 4 am to go fishing, the reasons why we didn't spend much time in the house.

Perfect location!!! 5 minute walk to the beach, 5 minute drive to town and about a 15 minute drive to nearby state park. House was very clean and decor is really nice with a beach theme. Well stocked kitchen and house was spacious with 4 bedrooms. Very much appreciated small 1/2 bath upstairs. Stacey was very easy to work with and super responsive. Only issue was that because it’s an older home, the wooden staircase was quite squeaky/noisy and there is a bedroom under the stairs. Just something to be mindful of. Also yard is only fenced on one side and open to back and other side but neighbors were very friendly. Would stay again!!

Relaxing Stay

Just a wonderful stay in beautiful Ludington! This home was clean, comfortable and just minutes from the beach. It really felt like a home away from home in that there was plenty of room to unpack and put everything away comfortably. Stacy was a such a great host and provided all kinds of suggestions for fun things to do around town.
