Important Note:
Like all area cottages, M&M Dune Cottage is separated from the lake by a naturally created, government protected dune. The pathways over the dune are marked & continually managed to keep their heights as low as possible. Last season, there were ‘easy walk’ board-walk mats placed out on two of the three beach paths adjacent to the cottage. There's a flat boardwalk in Washington Park.

Please remember to read all beach cautions (especially about riptides) and supervise children. Thank you!

FOR ADDED COVID SAFETY:
• We’ve extended the work hours of our 5 Star Housekeeping team to provide the additional time necessary to perform enhanced cleaning procedures.
• We use ‘Hospital Grade’ disinfectant solutions.
• The newer dishwasher has a Steam Cycle for better sanitization.
• You’ll receive a large quantity of ‘Hospital Grade’ disinfectant wipes your use on hard surfaces at the cottage.
• Also provided are compact hand sanitizers to take with you to the beach, zoo or anywhere else your vacation takes you.
• Brand new rolls of paper towels, toilet tissue and kitchen sponges are provided for each stay.
• The interior has been tested for mold - no issues.
• In addition to the full complement of freshly laundered linens and towels, all mattresses and bed pillows have allergy liners.

This cottage is perfect for families / friends who want to enjoy the beach! Plenty of space for our group of 6, comfortable bedrooms and living space, 2 bathrooms, an awesome kitchen, and space outside for drying towels and swimsuits to head back to the beach the next day. Just walk over the dune to be on the beach - no roads to cross or parking hassles. Easy! I contacted the owner once to ask a silly question during our stay and the response was immediate. Outstanding communication throughout. Would recommend!!

Vintage Beachside Cottage was a delight! We loved our time there, mere steps from Lake Michigan. The bedside lamps in one of the bedrooms were not working, and Brian ordered and had delivered the next day a remote that was needed to operate them. Then they worked perfectly. The well-maintained, heart pine (I suspect from the age of the cottage) wood floors felt so good under our feet. Loved all the windows that let in so much natural light and the shaded patio where we relaxed and were able to eat. We would stay again.

This place is a little vintage which made it perfect for a place by the beach. My family has been staying up here for over 40 years. Our first time at this location and it was so nostalgic, an aged cottage with the perfect amount of space and all the supplies we needed. Brian shared so much information that allowed our stay to match all of our other amazing visits to the East side of Lake Michigan. 10/10 would stay here again!!

We had a great stay at this vintage cottage. The property was exactly as described and at a great location. The cottage was a short walk over the dune to the beach. It had everything we needed for a short stay on beach. Dunebillies never disappoints for breakfast and Shoreline Brewery for beers and dinnner was great!

Great location next to wonderful beach. Reasonable amenities were included in a much smaller than expected "vintage" house. Four bedrooms that were squeezed in were at the expense of closets and a washer and dryer.

This was an older cottage but really loved it! It was clean and had just about anything you could want available to you. Plenty of room for 8 people and Lake Michigan beach just a short walk away!
