About this cottage rental

Grand Haven cottage description
Seeking a Lake Michigan cottage with spectacular views of the Lake and sunsets from your deck? Pair-A-Dice is the quaint cottage in Grand Haven, Michigan on the quiet, peaceful south section of Highland Park just for you and your family and friends.

Your cottage is a three-minute drive to downtown Grand Haven. Or better yet, it is a relaxing 15-minute walk along a safe boardwalk to the Grand Haven waterfront. During your walk, you will experience the beautiful vistas of Lake Michigan and the Grand River along your way.

Built in 1906, the cottage is a historic landmark in Highland Park. Pair-A-Dice retains much of its original charm as many items in the cottage are original. More than 100 cottages are tucked in the sand dunes of this area with a system of boardwalks and walkways built throughout the natural preserve. Pair-A-Dice, one of the few cottages overlooking Lake Michigan and her beach, offers its guests the beautiful sunsets on your large private deck while you drink, dine and scream for ice cream. For quick, safe, and easy access, just step on down the Highland Park Boardwalk to arrive at your beach.

Enjoy watching the Grand Haven Pier’s catwalk lite up at night looking like a string of pearls. Take a midnight stroll through Highland Park or dip in the lake below. Fall asleep with the sound of the waves and enjoy the cool fresh lake breeze. Awaken to the romantic sound of the Pier’s foghorn on the mornings the boaters and fishermen need visual assistance.

A screened-in front porch, with an attached deck, are ideal for reading, sunset watching, and experiencing the fall storms as they rumble in over Lake Michigan. Please close the windows or you will get wet. There is a small back porch for storage, for your bikes, coolers, beach bags, fishing poles and kites.

Enjoy five bedrooms, one full bath downstairs and one full bathroom upstairs. The upstairs has a deluxe new bathroom (2016) with a separate shower/bath and toilet with vanity. Also, this addition added a bedroom off the bathroom hallway. Three bedrooms have full beds, one bedroom has a set of twin beds and a fifth bedroom has sailor bunk beds. The cottage sleeps eight adults and two children comfortably. Two bedrooms have lake views while you are resting in bed. The new addition bedroom overlooks the protected sand dune nature preserve.

September is the locals’ time to be swimming and fishing for Salmon in the Lake. Often the water is warmer than the air and the waves are perfect for body surfing, or watching the surfers. The beach crowds are gone however the city is still open with mostly local characters.

We enjoyed an amazing stay at Pair of Dice.. the home. Is an older classic home with beautiful wood floors, tons of windows and tons of light! The back deck overlooked the Lake and we enjoyed many sunsets and relaxation there everyday. The location was close to everything in Grand Haven and the boardwalks allow you to walk all around the area- this is a great place for bikers and hikers..and Jay was an incredible host always checking to see if we needed anything and how our stay was going. There’s a grill and fully equipped kitchen and if you’re missing anything Jay will get it for you! I can’t say enough about the rental and the only thing it took getting used to was no air conditioning. It wasn’t a big deal because the air off the lake cools the house down pretty quick, and we weren’t there most of the day time anyways . This is also a quick drive to Saugatuck, South Haven is 40-45 mins and Holland has many restaurants and entertainment too. Thanks for a wonderful vacation Jay!

I took my nieces and nephews for a weekend getaway at the Lake. The house was absolutely perfect: cozy, clean, a great history, spectacular views and quick walk to the beach. Jay was super helpful and communicative throughout our stay! I would highly recommend and hope to visit again in the future.

This place is a quintessential beach house, filled with historic character. The location is perfect with a boardwalk that ends right on the beach. The house is located on the bluff directly above the beach with incredible views. It is also a quick drive to downtown Grand Haven. A few things to consider: * Four bedrooms have partial height walls, sharing a common ceiling and common overhead light - bring sound machines to help with the noise transfer between rooms! * While the listing accommodates a fair number of people, each room is very tiny. Dining table and living room each accommodate only 6 at a time. Deck is slightly larger but still a bit tight. * Kitchen is very small with limited counter space. Oven temp was inconsistent which made cooking a bit challenging. * The grill on the deck was not working. Jay made an attempt to fix it during our stay but unfortunately it still didn’t work. Overall, Jay was a very attentive host and we loved our stay!
