About this property

200' SUNSET BEACH MODERN HOUSE WIFI FIREPLACE PET FRIENDLY AC

CONTACT ME BEFORE BOOKING! Summer rentals are Sunday-to-Sunday.

The house sits on a point that provides panoramic sunset views of Lake Michigan to the north and Grand Traverse Bay to the south and sits on a double lot with 200' of lake frontage.

The lake house provides all of the "must haves":
- Wifi and TV
- Main floor washer and dryer
- Modern kitchen with all of the amenities including filtered chilled water and ice dispenser, dishwasher and Keurig coffee maker
- Central air conditioning
- Real log fireplace

It is located just north of the village of Eastport which is at the northern tip of Torch Lake. You can walk the beach - something you can't do on inland lakes. Grand Traverse Bay water frontage is constantly changing and advertising photos will not necessarily depict the beach and water as it might be during the rental period. Higher water levels reduce and could potentially eliminate beach area.

Enjoy a fire during the cool nights in the lakeside fire pit or the dramatic two story fireplace.

A private sandy area with fire pit is located near the house. A large deck and covered porch overlook the lake.

The beach has pebbles and sand with a bottom of smooth rocks (aqua shoes are recommended).

There are two stand up paddleboards and two tandem kayaks that can be used to enjoy the bay. There are multiple bikes and two ebikes.

The home is very well appointed with 2,000' square feet of living space.

There are three bedrooms and a 'dormitory' plus sleeper sofa. There are two full bathrooms with tub/showers which are both accessible without entering a bedroom.

The kitchen is a chef's dream. There is over 20' of counter space, a high end induction stove and top of the line cookware. The appliances are stainless steel. A gorgeous quartz countertop island with double bowl sink provides a dramatic lake view. The icemaker allows ice to be moved right to your cooler. There is a reverse osmosis water filter for ultra purified water.

A washer and dryer is provided on the main floor for convenience.

All the modern conveniences are provided including high speed internet and cable TV (cable TV may not be available in the off season). There are Samsung Ultra HD TVs in every bedroom with Nexflix streaming and "cable" TV plus a 75" top of the line Samsung TV in the main living area.

To keep you cool there are seven ceiling fans and central air conditioning.

The 'double' lot offers 200 feet of private shoreline and access to miles of beach to walk and enjoy.

The bay is shallow which makes it great for young children.

The master bedroom is a large loft area and the only room upstairs. It overlooks the family room and dining area (and the lake). The master bath offers a relaxing whirlpool tub. The loft can be closed for privacy but has an opening above so it is not "soundproof". The second bedroom and den/bedroom are on the main floor. Dormitory sleeping is provided on the lower level in the 'rec room'.

There is a small grocery store with a great deli (and delicious summer BBQ) only 5 minutes away.

There is plenty of parking including space for a boat trailer. There is a boat launch 10 minutes away.

In winter ...
A warm fire and a gorgeous view ... Mix and match your skiing and winter fun and avoid the high price of slope side lodging. Now throw in a sunset lake view and a fireplace for the less avid skiers. You can be right in the middle of the northern Michigan ski resort area. 30 minutes southeast to Shanty Creek and Schuss Mountain, 45 minutes east to Boyne Mountain, an hour north to Nub Knob and Boyne Highlands, 40 minutes south to Traverse City's Holiday Mountain and only 30 minutes from quaint Charlevoix and Mt McSauba.

Wonderful, clean well-appointed getaway!

The lake house is one of the nicest VRBO rentals we have rented so far. The kitchen was very well appointed with every gadget and pot or pan you would need. Lots of firewood for fires, clean bathrooms, comfortable beds, and spacious living areas! Squeaky clean! We will definitely be back!

Magical

My wife says its magical. We went in November and had the years first snow fall. The real wood fireplace was perfect for sitting and watching Lake Michigan through the big windows. We enjoyed walking on the beach every morning even in the cold November gale. We enjoyed every moment we stayed there. The house was so clean and the kitchen perfect for cooking Thanksgiving dinner.

The best rental we have ever stayed at.

We always rent homes when we travel because we have a lot of kids and staying in a hotel is difficult. This property was not only gorgeous but immaculate, stocked with anything you could think of to cook and keep your kids occupied. It was so relaxing. Everything a guest could need was there.

Lakeside Beach Beauty

This vacation house is ideal for families, but we chose it for the two of us because of the amazing beach and sunsets. There were so many amenities available to us although we only used a few. Great Kitchen with everything you could possibly need, comfortable beds, TVs in every room and much more. We loved the wood burning fireplace and the beach fire pit. Bob the owner was as attentive as necessary and a pleasure to work with.

The Best Beach House

We had a wonderful time at Bob's beach house! The property was spacious, very clean and had the most amenities of anywhere I have ever rented. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with everything you might possibly need. There was plenty of firewood, outdoor fun like kayaks and bikes, tons of games for rainy days, many smart tvs, chargers for every device, Alexa/ Google assistants, extra bath towels and blankets...I could go on. The beach was just incredible - there were both rocky areas (perfect for looking for petoskey stones!) and sandy areas. Sunsets were gorgeous. Bob was very responsive and a great host. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

Great Christmas to New Years Stay

My family always ventures to Michigan for the holidays. We have two requirements, access to a lake and a real wood burning fireplace. Plus, we just chill and eat in a lot, so a big screen tv and a great kitchen is a must. This cottage had it all! We watched movies and ballgames and I kept the fire going (thanks for the provided seasoned firewood it was a breeze.) We fixed a huge pot of chili and just gnoshed the entire time. Bob was extremely accessible whenever we needed him. The only challenge was the bay was largely frozen and my husband and son didn't get to do their annual New Years Day plunge and had to settle for a frigid push-up in what water was available. (I know, they are crazy!) Wish we had more snow, but the frozen bay offered the feel of a wonderful winter escape. It was a wonderful experience! I highly recommend this cottage if you like to do the winter things we enjoy.

Christmas 2022

The access to the lake, the view, the nature, the serenity. What a perfect stay for the blizzard of 2022. Open floor plan, a fantastic kitchen and giant fireplace. Memories were made at Bob's Lake House. Highly recommend for family stays. The variety of provided appliances and kitchen gadgets was an unexpected perk. Stay here. ♥️

Great stay-highly recommend

The house was clean, beds were comfortable, kitchen was amazing-everything you could possibly need, view of Lake MI is gorgeous and the lake is such a short distance from house and no steps! Beach is loaded with rocks-not sandy so you must be a rock lover. Bob is a great host and communication was excellent.

Beach house wonderland.

This property is beautiful, as well as the house. Convenient to the Eastport Market. Close to Bellaire. Right off highway 31. Our attraction to this property was the beach and although the beach was sometimes under snow, we stayed in March, we had plenty of time and beach to look for rocks. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for a large group and the kitchen has all of the amenities. We would highly recommend the property and the owner.
