Beach Daze is perfect for a Lake Michigan getaway, wine tasting weekend, and anything in between. While the home does share a wall with an adjoining unit, the owners have thoughtfully designed the space for guest privacy and a peaceful getaway.

This duplex home is located at the end of a quiet cul de sac with an updated interior and a large backyard. Just one mile from Warren Dunes, the central location is perfect for enjoying all that Harbor Country has to offer!  You can easily walk to  local favorites like The Historian and Local Pour, or take a short drive to the Greenbush Brewery, Sawyer Garden Center, and Infusco Coffee in fun downtown Sawyer. 

Walk into the front door to the right of the building into a thoughtfully laid out living space with a decorative fireplace and lots of cozy seating just waiting for you to book, check in, and enjoy! The large smart TV features lots of streaming options (no cable TV) like Hulu, Amazon prime, and Netflix. The sofa can pull out to accommodate one extra guest. 
 
Move through the house and you’ll find a well-stocked kitchen with all cookware and serveware provided. Comfortable kitchen includes a modern, farm-style table perfect for breakfast, board games, or a meal off the grill. Off the main living area are two bedrooms and a bathroom. One bedroom contains two sets of bunks while the other features a Queen bed and dresser. 

The backyard is large, and partially enclosed with a fire pit, gas grill, outdoor dining, and tons of space to play! A bluetooth speaker is available for you to play some tunes while you grill or throw a frisbee. 

There is a washer and dryer for guests to use right off the kitchen area and the owners have provided a cooler and 4 beach chairs for guests to use. Sorry, no pets are allowed at this home.

Nice place, clean, very well stocked with basics, close to the beach. It is a duplex!! It doesn’t say anywhere that there is another unit right next to it. The only thing is that we got there at 5:30 pm and the cleaning crew was still finishing, the checking time was after 4pm. Good thing we didn’t show up earlier.

Lovely time

Quiet, well stocked with basics for cooking, relaxation. We had some trouble getting streaming to stay engaged to internet, but only meant that we watched less TV, which worked for us. We would rent with you and this place specifically again.

The electricity went out at the property for more than 14 hours with no air conditioning. We called the host number and they said they would get back to us with a projected restoration date and never did. The property was completely pitch black there were no candles or flashlights, which was scary for the kids. We were going to light a campfire in the fire pit out back but there were swarms of bats. It would have been a good experience if not for all the above issues.
