Nice getaway

The home is well furnished with plenty of space for family to visit. The grandkids liked climbing the steps up the dune. Would stay there again.

Beautiful neighborhood

Came to town for GVSU commencement and perfect place to accommodate the family. Great pathway for morning walks and catching the sunset over Lake Michigan. Access to beach is not for the faint of heart. 100 steps! House is beautiful and perfect bedroom/bath set up to accommodate adults. Houses well stocked with items to make the space feel like home.

Fair stay in MI

We arrived on May . Upon arrival the home was full of gas smell. My husband was able to figure out that the one gas burner was partially on. I contactd the representative and alerted her

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Amaryak. The home is located between grand haven and holland MI, close to beaches and a short ride to restaurants and shopping. The house is very clean, spacious, and ideal for cooking. We appreciated that the kitchen had everything we needed. It’s located in a beautiful area!!

Family Vacation

Loved our stay here! House was clean, had everything we needed for a relaxing trip. Great location and easy drive to Holland and Grand Haven. Loved Windsnest beach just a few miles up the road. Our kids didn’t want to leave. Would definitely come back and recommend.

Wedding weekend

We were in town because my son was getting married at Camp Blodgett. We decided to make a 4 day weekend out of it and golf different courses in area too. The house was very nice inside and had plenty of spaces inside to socialize or find a spot yourself. Beds were comfortable, showers were spacious and bedrooms were too. I would definitely stay here again. And definitely take the walk up to the beach overlook.

Quiet Family Getaway

In the Shade, By the Beach was a great property close to Holland, beaches and parks. The setup was perfect for our group of 7 including two young children and 5 adults. The kitchen was well equipped for meals at home and the back patio was peaceful. The views from the top of the dunes on the property were incredible despite the beach being inaccessible.

Very nice

We loved the house. Kitchen had everything you’d need. Beds were comfy. Laundry and all appliances were top of the line. Highly recommend this home. Ps, the restaurant at the the end of the street “ Sandy Point “ was delicious too

Family Getaway

We had an amazing time staying at this cozy property in the woods! It accommodated the 6 of us comfortably. Very clean, and had everything we didn’t bring from home. We enjoyed bonfires, grilling out and the trek up the stairs to watch the sunset. The only downside was not being able to access Lake Michigan from the property. Kouw Park right down the road had an amazing playground, beach, and lake access. Highly recommend this property to a family wanting to explore the Holland area!

House was fine

The property was in a good location, between Holland and Grand Haven. We enjoyed our stay, but didn’t think the beds were that comfortable. The living room couch needs to be replaced and we did find it super strange that there was 1 kitchen towel, no full size towel bars in the upstairs full bathroom and the closets in the 2 bedrooms had racking in them and no place to hang up clothing.

Beautiful Location with Full Amenities

The Montana family decided to come to the Michigan family to celebrate Thanksgiving in 2024. This home was a perfect location for the nearby MI family. The home is surrounded by trees and is in an absolute beautiful setting. Kitchen was fully furnished to accommodate seveal homemade meals. The grandparents loved the quiet sitting area off the kitchen for morning coffee and Wordle. The living room was cozy and the proximity of the kitchen table allowed for all to enjoy the TV. Bedrooms were generous in size and very accomodating for 4 adults and 3 children. Bathrooms were spacious. Owners were quick with responses when questions were asked. Garage did have tools availabile to help with the snowfall that occured while we were there. There were several nice parks right down the street. Cant wait to come back in the summer months to enjoy the yard and backdeck, and of course Lake Michigan. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

Winter stay

We rented for a couple months over the winter while our house was remodeled. Maggy was great to work with! She’s a great communicator and quick to respond to respond to any questions. The house was perfect for our family of 4. It had all the basics of everything we needed. Best part is the stairs to an amazing view of Lake Michigan. It was a great workout with a beautiful reward at the end. Perfect location between holland and grand haven.

Very clean. Great location. All the little "extras" like soap, paper towels, toilet paper, laundry pods, etc.. are an extra touch that makes vacationing here easier. For our short stay we didn't need to buy or bring these extras and it was appreciated.

Great central location to tour SW Michigan Coast

Casa Arnyek is a comfortable house in a central location to enjoy touring the SW Coastal towns of Michigan. An easy drive to Grand Rapids, just outside Holland, Michigan. We enjoyed touring Grand Haven, Holland, Saugatuck, South Haven and Grand Rapids. Beer, Tulips and a tour of the Meyer May Frank Lloyd Wright house filled a 5-day visit. It was a rainy week in early May so we did not use the deck or outside areas. The stairs to the lake are as steep as they appear, so it's a workout to the top.

This home was perfect for us. Close to family and, of course, close to the beach. Great location with quick, easy access to everything including Holland and Grand Haven. Very clean and comfortable with everything you need. Maggy was great...easy to contact and very responsive. Highly recommended from veteran VRBO clients.

2021 Girls Vaca

I loved the home, and we all slept comfortably. Home had proximity to everything that was on our to do list, both in Saugatuck and GrandHaven MI. Having 2.5 bathrooms was a huge plus. The owners kept in touch and gave feedback when I reached out with questions. I was disappointed that after climbing up 90+ steps and walking down a small plank path that there wasn’t a landing to sit on a chair or bench and take in the Lake view. There is a fence protecting the dunes, caution signs and people/homes off to the left & right. The climb up to the top of the steps was not really worth it since you couldn’t sit enjoy the view. Alas I only went up there once. We found WindsNest Beach 3.5 miles down the road and enjoyed the sunset there!

Family vacation

We came to MI for our annual family vacation and staying at Maggy’s place was amazing. The home was so clean and beautiful! My kids felt right at home! The home is roomy and spacious and my husband and I were able to enjoy time together while the kiddos played in a separate area! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to stay here and enjoy our family trip to the fullest!

A great stay in the woods

We very much enjoyed our month long stay at Maggie’s house. The house was nicely furnished and spacious. With lots of trees on the property it was cool in the summer, and the “challenge” of climbing the stairs to the lake view was fun too!

Great!

This was a great property that served us well. Convenient location to many area parks and beaches, but is away from the bustle of Holland traffic. Enjoyed looking from the dining room and seeing the beautiful surroundings of trees and dunes. If you're able, the walk up the stairs to the lookout over Lake Michigan is well worth it.
