Fairways of Grand Beach is a recently renovated 5 bed, 2 bath home in the quaint village of Grand Beach, MI. The house is situated on a large lot, high on a sand dune that overlooks the 6th fairway and park area...just two blocks from the waves of Lake Michigan. Guests enjoy two large decks, a year-round 8 person hot tub, 8 chair fire pit and a four person golf cart in season (May thru mid-Nov). The golf cart can be used on the 9-hole public course right in the village as well as on the streets. The property is very private, on a secluded street and fully stocked for a great stay. It's a great place to enjoy some down time in an idyllic village in the heart of Michigan's "Harbor Country."
The house itself is a 100-year old cottage that was completely updated in 2021. A major consideration in the renovation was to keep the charm of the original structure. Guests will be immersed in the cottage feel with tongue and groove ceilings, original bead board on the first floor and newly refinished original pine floors throughout the home. Windows, windows, and more windows overlook the expansive wooded lot from the first floor.
The furnishings are higher end and comfy -- mostly Ethan Allen and Crate & Barrel. Custom knotty pine cabinets are throughout. The home's heating, air, electric, water heater, roof, appliances and TVs are all new. The heating and air conditioning unit includes a bonus air scrubber that fights viruses. Other amenities include 200mbps high speed internet, 125 tv channels, gas fireplace with remote start, and a Weber gas grill.
The space is ample and rooms are large. You can enjoy being together or spread out as you wish. Kitchen is well stocked. Washer and dryer on premises. This house has an amazing happy vibe. Rooms are large, ceilings high and space expansive so guests will not feel cramped. The outdoor areas are pure relaxation with comfy chairs and a great setting. The fire pit area has 8 brand new comfy Adirondack chairs. You'll long to return after hearing the waves crashing and feeling the cool breezes off Lake Michigan just a few blocks away.
To know Grand Beach is to love it. A quaint village off the shores of Lake Michigan, Grand Beach is truly a breath of fresh air. Open space, nature, unique homes, beach...just the perfect combination to leave your worries at home and relax and unwind. Stay once and you'll be hooked.
Given the size of our home and its amenities, we attract families, couples, golfers, friend-unions and more. Nearly all of our returning customers book direct with us after initially booking via our listing on AirBnB. Booking direct can save you money off the traditional service fees.
Grand Beach has two small beaches within the village that only residents and guests can use. In addition, we have a basketball court, tennis courts, volleyball court and playground. The village has a 9 hole golf course a 1/4 mile from the house and the golf cart can be used both on the course and for getting around the village.
Escape to Grand Beach and Harbor Country and leave your worries at home. Our fully stocked home leaves nothing to be desired

This rate is all-inclusive (inc. cleaning and tax).
Never! Since you will be renting directly from us (the owners), there is no 3rd party overhead or marketing to cover. This is the sole reason we decided to build this site…to keep money in your pocket! Service fees charged by the OTA’s (Online Travel Agencies) for staying a week with us in the summer can be as high as $400. We firmly believe that you can better use this money at local restaurants and shops during your stay. 98% of our returning guests book direct with us vs. through an OTA because of the fee. That said I know some of you are tied to your credit card points so of course, feel free to book via any one of the OTA’s we’re listed on.
Check-in is at 3:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM.
Yes, we require a minimum stay of 2 nights during most periods throughout the year. During the summer high season we are weekly only and certainly holidays may require more than two nights.
When you decide on your arrival and departure dates, you can request a stay via the “Contact Us” inquiry option here on the site. Once we confirm the rates and dates, we’ll put together an occupancy agreement for review and signature. This agreement, coupled with your deposit, is due within five days and then your reservation will be officially confirmed. We will place a hold on your dates for those days while we await your agreement and deposit. We require 50% of the total rental rate (lodging + cleaning + tax) along with the occupancy agreement to secure the reservation. 45 days from your arrival, the remaining 50% + security deposit is due. Our standing security deposit is $350. Assuming there are no damages at your departure, the refundable damage deposit will be returned within 10 calendar days. If your arrival is within 45 days of booking, the full amount is due with the booking along with the signed occupancy agreement.
Currently, we accept a hard copy personal check and Venmo. As a small operation, we’ve opted for these vehicles at this point for payment.
Fairways has a keyless entry system and you’re assigned a code prior to your arrival. Both doors to the main area of the house are keyless.
The deposit is refundable less a 10% cancellation fee (not to exceed $200) outside of 60 days prior to your arrival date. No refunds are given if your cancellation is received less than 60 days prior to your arrival date unless we re-rent the property for those same dates. In that case, only the cancellation fee applies. There is no refund for early departure.
Fairways is a smoke free home and smoking can only take place outside of the home. If it is determined that someone smoked in the home while occupying the house, a fee of up to $200 can be levied for your stay. If/when smoking outside, please know that our deck is all wood and we are up in the trees with leaves, etc., all about.
Dogs are allowed (up to two) but require pre-approval and there is a $50 fee charged per stay. No cats are allowed due to serious allergies by the owners and their children.
Great sandwiches, BBQ, Mac & Cheese and Beers. All around a great place to pop into. About 15 minutes from the house in Sawyer.
Neapolitan pizza and beer at church? Amen. This revamped former house of worship offers great pizza and their own brewed beers. Fantastic outdoor patio.
A must do if you're in the area. "World Famous" (or so they say) Oink's is a hit with the kids and adults alike. Their menu is as long as your tax form.
Beautiful, historic venue to dine and food is always consistent. This former buggy whip and corset factory now houses a restaurant and distillery. Grab a cocktail and step outside to the putting green...yes, putting green.
Located right off the drag in New Buffalo, we go here solely for the thin crust. Always the choice of the kids. And to be honest, we always get it to go.
Simply put, RAR is straight out of Northern Michigan with its decor. Very laid back atmosphere. Come for the decor and stay for the meatloaf and ribs. Good stick to your ribs food.
All around solid market. Meats, produce, beer/wine...everything you'll need for your stay or if you're just looking to pick something up. Try the rosemary and pesto half chicken and grill it up at the house..you can thank us later.
Great independent coffee shop in New Buffalo with an array of coffee drinks and morning treats. Also offers fantastic sandwiches for the luncheon hour.
