Beachin Lighthouse Villa at Silver Lake Sand Dunes and Little Sable Lighthouse

Beachin Lighthouse Villa at Silver Lake Sand Dunes and Little Sable Lighthouse

10/10 Excellent
"This property was picturesque and so serene. It was magical to have Lake Michigan and Little Sable Lighthouse views from our bedroom window, while we ate supper on the deck, sitting in the living room, and relaxing/reading in the Crow’s Next. The description and pictures do not do it justice. The kitchen was very well-appointed and we enjoyed having our grown kids and grandchild around that lovely, big table for meals and playing games. We used the motorized cart to easily transport umbrellas, chairs, etc. to the beach and most of us climbed the lighthouse! It was a treat to use the fire pit to make Smores! The hosts were WONDERFUL with very prompt and courteous communication. Many wonderful memories were made and we hope to return!!"
