About this house rental
Built in 1918, this historic duplex has been beautifully remodeled and cared for. The front porch faces 5th street, and every evening a 20 minute walk takes you to the end of the Grand Haven pier to watch the sunset; your own 'Key West' experience in Michigan. Our home is located in a quaint neighborhood and is just minutes from Lake Michigan beaches, downtown shopping, restaurants and fun! A 10 minute walk takes you to the local YMCA and the area's Imagination Station, tennis & pickleball courts and skate park. The house is perfect for week long vacations, weekend getaways and as a cozy fall or winter retreat. The main floor has an open kitchen to dining room area (13x17) with a separate 13 x 21 living room. Games, beach toys and a table for puzzles is also provided. A half bath is off of the kitchen. Laundry facilities are located in the basement as are the beach toys, chairs, towels and cooler and propane tank for the grill. The house has hardwood floors throughout and 9 foot ceilings. Upstairs you will find three bedrooms, one with a queen bed, one with 2 twin beds, and a small back bedroom with another queen bed and a full bathroom with a tub. The living room on the main floor has a couch, love seat and futon for extra sleeping space. There is off street parking for 2 cars; an outdoor gas grill and a front porch ready for you to watch the world go by. Did we mention this charming place is on the Coast Guard parade route? We supply linens and towels, full equipped kitchen, gas grill, flat screen TV and wifi.

Charming old house, lots of space, great location, close to everything. Great communication with the owners.
5.0 / 5.0
The house was in a perfect location and convenient to everything in town. It was a great setup for our family with lots of space to gather on the main floor and sleep upstairs. We also appreciate all the beach gear available and games/puzzles. Thanks for making our visit to Grand Haven a great one!
5.0 / 5.0
Did not think this location was going to be a good location, but it was way better than I imagined. The house was squeaky, but really not an issue. Loved the layout of the house. Will definitely stay here again.
5.0 / 5.0
Great location with the beaches and downtown within a mile. Old, old home but very clean and all the basic essentials. Only thing to take note of is that it's a louder area and a duplex so you hear everything (and I mean everything) from VRBO tenants in the other unit as well as the other local neighborhood homes. Safe area and very walkable to the Grand Haven beach and eateries.

My wife was graduating from her residency program at a local hospital. We had family come from out of state so we decided to stay at this property together. I believe the house was built around 1912, it has a lot of charm and character! The location is great!, you have the lake down the road, great shopping near by and not far from Muskegon or GR. The owner was helpful, great communication and the house has a washer and dryer, full kitchen and a great front porch to watch and enjoy the neighborhood.
4.0 / 5.0
Very good. Well located for our golf course selections. Nice walk to town. Minor issues -.
Main bedroom bed could be newer. Pillows in middle bedroom too soft (one guest actually went out and bought thicker pillow)
Parking area tight and not well kept up

We really enjoyed our stay at the Emerald Lady in Grand Haven and would happily stay there again. The house had everything we needed and we easily walked to the Musical Fountain and the beach. Lots of restaurants and shops within walking distance, too.

This house was located a convenient 15 minute walk from downtown Grand Haven. The beach is a 5 minute drive! The older home had so much charm and incredible details! All appliances worked well! We would definitely stay here again!
5.0 / 5.0
We had a great stay! The house is close to town, clean, and the beds were comfortable. Only things we wanted and didn’t have was sugar for morning drinks and a toaster. The floors were surprisingly noisy, but we knew that ahead of time and understandable with the age of the home. Also, the neighbors were locals and super friendly.
5.0 / 5.0
Very cute historic home with nice renovations and character. I pretty much lived on the covered front porch when we weren’t out exploring the area. Easy walk to the downtown for food/shopping. Adorable neighborhood-felt totally safe letting my teens explore the town on their own. Just a few minutes to drive to the beach. Loved my morning walks along the boardwalk to the lighthouse too. Jamie is a great host and when we got locked out (yes-really so embarrassing!) she was quick to respond and sent us help to get in the house quickly. We cannot wait to return to GH and would not hesitate to book this rental again.

The Emerald Lady was very clean and the 3 bedrooms easily slept my wife and I and our 3 young children. It’s conveniently located a few blocks from the beach and the downtown shops/restaurants. Because it’s such an old house, the floors and stairs do creak a lot but it was never a big problem for us. We enjoyed our time in Grand Haven at this comfortable and spacious property!

The house had a perfect layout for 3 couples to stay. The location was perfect to walk into town for dinner & drinks. property was clean & decor made us feel the relaxed beach vibe we were hoping for! Jamie was very responsive & friendly. We would def stay here again.
5.0 / 5.0
This beach cottage was the perfect getaway. We will definitely be back for another girls’ weekend…or maybe we’ll bring the boys for a family staycation. Jamie was there to greet us upon our arrival and made us feel like it was our home for the days we were there. We were bummed to leave. It’s easily within walking distance of downtown GH. We enjoyed the charm of the neighborhood as we strolled down the sidewalks to get to Snug Harbor, The Paisley Pig, and Aldea Coffee. Also be sure to sit on the front porch and wave to passersby!

So Beautiful
Beautiful home that offers great space to lounge and relax no matter the time of the year. It is a short walk to the downtown area. As promised, puzzles were awaiting us, and my spouse and I found ourselves completing over our time spent. We really enjoyed our time, and hope to visit again!

Close to downtown Grand Haven - Yet far enough away
The house was nice. It gave the two families enough room to be together and yet have some separation when needed (4 kids w/3 under 5).
There is only 1 full bath which made coordinated showers for adults.
Close walk to downtown and beach. Car can also be used - but we preferred to walk everywhere.

Grand Haven Family Getaway
This old house was beautiful and comfortable!! Very friendly host :) Creaky floors and lots of historic charm!! Modern kitchen and bathrooms, short 10 minute walk to restaurants and bars. Parking is a little tight so be careful if you have a big truck. Otherwise you should be fine. Mattresses and pillows could be upgraded, but weren’t terrible. We were very happy and comfortable for our long weekend away!

Great rental. Big and open. Loved the porch. Busy road which we didn’t mind but not with little kids. Really had to plan showers with only 1 but we made it work!! Had a great time.

Family vacation
The ages of our family of 8 went from 11 months to 91 years. The house accommodated us extremely well. I had my concerns about the steps because they looked steep in the pictures however they were not and they were very easy to manuerver. Everything was great!!!! It was my first non hotel experience and it won't be my last!!! Thank you Brett for opening your lovely home to us!!!!

Loved this house!
This house was incredible! Bigger than expected, very pretty inside, beautiful decor, great flow with living room/kitchen downstairs and bedrooms upstairs.
If you have small babies there are a few exposed wires around, but we used the coffee table to block the babies from roaming around and made the living room the baby play area.
Close to downtown and the beach. Perfect location!
Grill outside and cute porch to sit on.
Two kitchen tables to allow for a lot of guests.
Mostly very, very clean except for the jets in the tub so I just showered the kids instead of doing a bath. Sheets, towels, floors, kitchen, all very clean.
Fun for rainy days with cable tv, games, cards, and close to restaurants.
Owner was VERY responsive and accommodating.
