    Barefoot Beach: Have a memorable Michigan beach vacation at this 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath Grand Haven, Lake Michigan cottage style house with room for 9. With a brand new downstairs family room/game room, multiple decks looking out over Lake Michigan, and a great location within walking distance to the beach, your group will fall in love!

    Our quiet, secluded neighborhood on 5 Mile Hill is family-friendly and close to all the Grand Haven highlights.

    INSIDE THE HOUSE

    This cozy Lake Michigan cottage is welcoming and home-like, just as a beach house should be.

    The lower level features a brand new family room complete with a wet bar, queen sofa sleeper, flat-screen TV, game table, and a full bathroom. No one wants a rainy day on vacation, but rain won’t stop you from having a good time enjoying a family movie or game in this beautifully decorated new space.

    Up the stairs, you’ll find the main living space with a fully stocked kitchen, a dining area with seating for 8, a comfortable living room, and tons of outdoor hang-out space, including a gas grill and outdoor dining.

    SLEEPING

    This cottage sleeps 9 and is perfect for multi-generational travel—thanks to its unique layout.

    Off the main living room, there is a “bedroom” that has a queen pull out sofa and a new attached half bath.

    Upstairs, there are 3 more bedrooms and 2 full baths. The first bedroom has a king-size bed and its own full bathroom attached. The second bedroom also has a king-size bed and its own private balcony, which is perfect for an evening sunset glass of wine or your morning coffee. The third bedroom has two twin beds and is just around the hall from the full bathroom.

    EATING

    The eat-in kitchen is right off the living room, with lots of cabinets and all the appliances. Its dining area seats 9. The kitchen and dining space are open to the living room, so you can still enjoy the views of the lake from the expansive front windows.

    Or take your feast to the huge deck. The outdoor dining space seats 6 on the rear deck and another 4 on the front deck. Our perch on the hill is the perfect spot to watch a Lake Michigan summer sunset!

    PARKING

    There is space for three (3) cars in the driveway.
    Please note that the garage is not available for guests’ use.

    THE LOCATION

    Walk down to the state beach area and forget about trying to find a parking spot. Be sure to bring your bikes, as this house is close to downtown Grand Haven, and biking the boardwalk along the channel is a real treat.

    Have a classic Lake Michigan summer in Grand Haven!

    Barefoot review

    Place is nice. BIG - really could sleep more people which might make it more cost effective. The water was out when we got there and Unsalted was QUICK sending someone out to repair it for the first night. I reported a GIANT hornets nest right above the door to get in - luckily no one in our party was deathly allergic. I never heard back from Unsalted but I am assuming they would take care of it before the next renters come as it would be dangerous not to. Great location (if you are good with a HILL to walk up). Good parking. Probably the most well stocked place we have stayed at as far as the kitchen.

    Hi Tonia, Glad you enjoyed your stay! We left you a message on Monday that one of our maintenance team members was stopping out to take care of the hornet's nest. We are glad no one got stung!

    Great Place for a Great Stay

    Review by Timothy M.
    This beach house was perfect for our family. The nine of us had plenty of room and the house was nicely furnished. The kitchen had everything we needed and the decks provided a lot of space to enjoy the cool evenings. The beach is literally down the street and we spent almost everyday there. This is a high quality rental service and we were very satisfied.

    Perfect Summer Getaway

    Review by Melissa E.
    This house was perfect for our two family summer getaway. We had four adults and three kids in our group with more than enough space. The house was so clean and well stocked. The location was great, it was so nice to walk to the beach. We enjoyed sitting on the huge wrap around deck in the evenings. The only con, and it’s a minor detail, would be the upstairs was a little dated in the carpet and furniture but not enough to deter us from coming back by any means. You won’t be disappointed in this amazing house and perfect location.

    Hi Vincent - so happy to hear that you enjoyed Barefoot Beach in beautiful Grand Haven. It's hard to beat that location! Thank you for choosing Unsalted Vacations, please come see us again soon.

    You won’t want to leave Barefoot Beach to go home!

    The House was perfect! We had four adults and three children. We had plenty of space. Couldn’t have asked for a better location. We loved driving to the top of the street, the view of the lake is beautiful. The staff was super helpful and quick to answer any questions. A wonderful unsalted vacation employee gave us some great recommendations on what to do and where to eat!Can’t wait to visit Grand Haven again and will for sure use unsalted vacations again!

    Review by Thomas H.
    This house was a perfect home base for our family (grandparents, kids & grandkids) to spend a week in Grand Haven. We especially enjoyed the wrap-around deck with lake views, and the close proximity to the Lake Michigan beach and downtown Grand Haven. The house gave the 9 of us plenty of room to spread out. The living room was very spacious and well furnished with plenty of comfortable chairs and couches when we all wanted to sit around together in the evenings. We especially appreciated that the kitchen was so well-supplied, since ate all of our breakfasts in and cooked in several evenings. The apparently brand new grill on the back deck was appreciated. Thanks for a lovely week!

    Wedding Party Getaway

    This house was very nice. It worked out perfectly for the wedding party of 8 people. There were enough bedrooms/beds and large enough for some privacy for each guest. The beach across the street was so convenient. It was very cozy and comfortable.
