Delightful stay. Jay was very responsive and accommodating. Highly recommended.

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!

We only stayed two nights but left wishing for more. An older cottage with history and nostalgic of the Grand Haven area. Took me back to my childhood years of summers at Grand Haven beach! Our grand children loved swimming in Lake Michigan which was just down the stairs and across the street. Best views of the Lake and sunsets. Everyone we met was super friendly!

This location makes you feel like you’re in a rustic treehouse overlooking the lake. The location is great, and the cross breezes keep you cool despite no air conditioning. The house has an interesting history and the Owner was great.

We had a wonderful time at Pair-a-dice. We came form 5 states to enjoy quality family time at this sweet cottage. We ate almost every meal out on the porch enjoying the fantastic view of Lake Michigan (and the beautiful sunsets.) The steps were a little daunting at first but each day they were easier to climb. The view is well worth any stairs. We also enjoyed the each private beach access as well the short drive to restaurants and shopping. Jay was a wonderful host - answering all of our questions and ensuring we have a fantastic visit. He recommended the farmer's market - we bought fresh fruit and vegetables for our stay. And, were fortunate enough to be in town during strawberry season. They were the best strawberries we have ever had.

Charming historic lake home with water views. Easy walk to beach, restaurant, and light house. Jay went out of his way to book a last minute dinner reservation for our group of 9. It was a wonderful time with beach walking, cycle boating, shopping, and eating and drinking. It was the first time for all of us in Grand Haven, and we really enjoyed it! Heads up: If there are mobility issues, this would not be a place for you due to the many stairs to climb to get to the house, beach, etc. Another consideration is the parking. The 2 parking spots were great but our group came from several locations, so we had 5 vehicles requiring a lot of shuffling when we wanted to get out and explore. All in all, it was a great stay and accommodated our group of 10 very well.

We had 2 families (10 people) stay at this home. It was perfect. The view was great, the location was in walking distance from town and Jay was an excellent host. He greeted us when we arrived, stopped by the next day to warn us about the potential storm and brought us supplies when we ran out. The beds are fulls and there is an open ceiling where the bedrooms are, so you hear everyone, but that actually added to the fun. Thanks for the great vacation Jay!

Pair-a-dice was exactly what we needed! It had a fantastic cottage feel with all of the comforts of home. We traveled 4,190 miles to be together from San Jose, CA to Fairfax, VA and in between. Jay was great to work with and was very accommodating to our needs! Until next time....

Perfect cottage for our Memorial Day weekend getaway. The location is right across from the beach but far enough away from the crowds. Quiet neighborhood. Our host was very helpful.

Good communication with owner. Close to kite festival.

This was a great place for 2 families of 4 for a long Labor Day weekend. Steps (a lot of them) down to a beach that we practically had all to ourselves. Also close to downtown which was nice.

The sound of the waves on the beach was a great way to fall asleep and wake up. Sunsets were amazing and the house was in a great location

Cute, quaint rustic summer cottage on a bluff overlooking the Lake. Great views, very responsive owner. Easy walk to the beach and all that Grand Haven has to offer.

Property was very adequate for our purposes. Family get together near the beach. View was awesome and enough amenities for cooking and grilling and plenty of beds. Great views requires some steps to the top of dune where cottage is located. Short walk to the beach down to the beach requires more steps. The City Park Beach however has free parking if you need to haul stuff. Just get there early.. especially on weekends. All the beds were extremely comfortable and despite having no AC, the temperature at night during our stay in late June was extremely comfortable and there were plenty of fans available. Jay was a great host and made a personal visit to make sure everything was okay. I would have no problem visiting this town or property again.

Beautiful surroundings and view! Owner very helpful! Will go back for a longer stay next time. There are just two bathrooms, one is upstairs with all the bedrooms. One bath downstairs.

This was a wonderful place for our extended long weekend with family. There was plenty of space for everyone, two rooms with amazing views of the lake, and quick access to everything local! Jay was a great host and checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. We will hope to stay again soon!

Property owner is very accommodating. Great beach and restaurants within walking distance, but must be ok with stairs.

We had a wonderful time! The host and the cottage were both charming! Great view of lovely Lake Michigan, a great deck and glassed porch made for a perfect trip. Five bedrooms were just what we needed. Plan to come back again some day 😎

Everything about this home was great. Jay is a wonderful host- very welcoming and kind. The location cannot be beat. Would definitely come back!

Great property with a fantastic location

The view is spectacular! The house is a rustic throwback to an earlier time. If you expect all the modern conveniences, this may not be the place for you. If you want a quiet getaway with incredible views and a caring host, you found your spot.

This was a fantastic property with an amazing view! Great amenities made for an wonderful girls weekend!

Lots of stairs and excellent lake view with access to private beach. Easy walk to town for dining and shopping. Breezy comfortable sleeping. Historic cottage with lots of character and lots of room for enjoying Lake Michigan. Sunsets are spectacular. Everything you need for visiting Grand Haven.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Pair-a-dice. The proximity to the beach and the view were great. We would stay here again given the chance. Check in and out were smooth and carefree. Communication with Jay was always promptly answered. Jay was also proactive with the communication. No matter where you are things can be improved. When we entered the place was so muggy as it was above 80°. We had overlooked the lack of AC in the description. We did spend more time outside than in, but a respite from the heat would have been welcome. Also, the DIY dishwashing and the disorganized storage of the dishes made us opt for less reliance on what was provided than we had expected. No dish could be used without first being washed. I don't know how to improve that, but it was a slight disappointment. Maybe bring solo cups and paper plates, etc. The grill had a mostly full tank installed and another full tank available. We used the grill a couple times and were very pleased with it. We enjoyed burgers on the deck. The other thing is the view of the beach is being encroached upon by bushes and trees. The removal of a volunteer bush and trimming of some of the green branches on the larger trees might improve the view. The above remarks should not discourage anybody from staying as we were completely happy with our stay and we fell in love with the place and its history. Thank you, Jay, for sharing this amazing place!

Jay was a great host and was there whenever we needed him. The cottage is well equipped and clean with an amazing view.

This home has the charm of an older beach cottage but has pristine cleanliness. Jay was very attentive and helpful with whatever we needed (he lives about 10 houses away). The bed situation is two rooms with twin beds (one of them is a kid's size). And three rooms with a double bed. There are lots of stairs to get to the cottage and then stairs down to the beach. This adorable house is located in the HIghland park association. We would certainly consider renting this house again for its location: walking distance to downtown Grand Haven, and great beach in front of association.

We loved it at Pairadice..............it was a perfect getaway for us 5 women. Who wouldn't enjoy sitting on the deck overlooking Lake Michigan watching the sunset with a glass of wine and hors d'oeuvres! The 5 bedroom cottage is charming and the owner Jay, was very happy to share the history with us. He even was able to help us up the steps with our bags.....we were 5 women ranging in age from 65-78. We also loved shopping in Grand Haven and walking out on the pier to the lighthouse. The cottage is very clean and had everything we needed including an iron and ironing board which one person in our group could not do without. Take note of the sign on the door of the downstairs bathroom.......Hurry!!!! A GREAT time was had by all.....Thank you....

We really loved our stay at Pair a Dice. The property was located in such a great spot, with beautiful views and easy access to the beach. The house was clean, nicely furnished, and very comfortable. We were able to catch beautiful sunsets from the deck and made great use of the grill. We were a group of adults who hadn’t had a chance to spend time together as a group in a really long time due to Covid and we were all very comfortable and happy with the accommodations. Jay the owner was a fast responder, super helpful, and checked in with us throughout the stay to make sure everything was running smoothly. He was flexible with check out for us, and very kind. We would absolutely recommend this as a cabin for a group or a family. We had an excellent stay.

An amazing property with amazing views. The pictures don't do it justice and this property doesn't disappoint.

This cozy vintage cottage made for a great weekend Fall getaway. We weren’t able to take advantage of the spacious deck due to high winds and cold weather, but the large enclosed porch was perfect for lake viewing and sunsets. Proximity to town and beach were ideal. We were able to watch a beach wedding take place on Saturday morning - which was an extra spot of sunshine during the stay.

We enjoyed a lovely short Fall getaway to beautiful Grand Haven. Our stay at Pair-A-Dice cottage was a wonderful weekend retreat. The home is high on a hill overlooking Lake Michigan with breathtaking views and vintage charm. We would definitely like to return someday to experience summer at this beautiful place!

Lovely, quaint cottage with a killer view. Spent hours on the deck chatting and relaxing. Just what we needed to relax and enjoy the blessings of friendship.
