Our boys love the beach and playing in the wave on tubes." The Kaince Family "Sandy Shores Lookout was a perfect getaway with the family. My favorite night of the trip was when we sat around the deck, cooked our fresh-caught Salmon, and watched the sun set. Other highlights included dinner at Sandy Pointe Beach House, Holland State Park and taking our 7-month-old down to the beach for the first time." The Gater Family "Working with Unsalted Vacations for our trip to Michigan was excellent in all respects…booking was easy, staff agent was very helpful answering questions, communications via email and text were very helpful and property was in perfect condition. Definitely a 10 out of 10 experience." Linda H. "We enjoyed our stay at Sandy Shores Lookout. The view is fantastic. We watched beautiful sunsets from the deck. Our husbands enjoyed the deck bar and the sunset view. What a perfect location! We also enjoyed the open kitchen and living room with the lake view."

The beach ended up being a little too cool/windy. However, it was close to several nearby cities with other things to do (Grand Haven, Holland). The only thing that could have been better was a fire pit or hot tub . The stairs are daunting but manageable going slow for average sedentary adults.
