"Endless Summer" - Lake Michigan Beachfront Home!

Spectacular panoramic views and peaceful privacy from this completely renovated beachfront home on historic Lakeshore drive ideally located between Ludington and Pentwater. From your patio lookout you can watch eagles soar and passing sailboats offshore with views of the Ludington lighthouse and Silver Lake Dunes. Lake Michigan views and fabulous sunsets from almost every room in the house. Wireless internet and cable TV. New everything: Hardwood floors, stone fireplace, new kitchen with stone counters and state of the art stainless appliances. All new bathrooms, new front-end load washer/dryer. Bluff-side fire pit.
PLEASE NOTE! Due to the High Water this year it is not possible to access our beach but there is a very nice little used beach 1 mile north with very easy drive up access.
Because of this the weekly rental has been reduced.
Rented by the week only ( Saturday changeover)

Lovely vacation on the lakefront
Everything was as advertised. The owner/managers were very easy to work with. The house was comfortable and well appointed. We loved the yard, firepit, and gorgeous sunsets.

Peaceful Stay
My husband and I were very sad to leave this great spot. The views were amazing. We watched the SS Badger come and go as well as enjoying beautiful sunsets each night. The home is set back from the road making it very private. We saw deer, turkeys and rabbits most days. The house is extremely nice with lots of room for our family to spread out but have time together in shared spaces too. It's a short drive into town to enjoy Ludington. This is noted in the description but keep in mind that although you are on Lake Michigan, it is an extremely high bluff without stairs to the beach. The closest beach is a short car ride down the street. This home has very reliable wifi but for Verizon and Sprint no cellular signal while we were there. Otherwise no complaints. I would love to go back.

Beautiful summer experience!
We stayed for a month - my husband, myself and our two young children. It’s a wonderful, comfortable place. The yard was perfect for the kids to play. The hosts were easy to reach and brought more firewood and some fun books for the kids. It’s a great location - so close to ludington, a short drive to Pentwater, Hart, Manistee, etc. We used the public beach in ludington (awesome sandbar) and the one down the block depending on the day. Sunsets and the July 4 fireworks will always be a great memory. Thanks so much!

Beautiful house and location!
This is our favorite place to stay in Ludington, we've stayed at this property many times. The house is very comfortable and well-equipped, and the amazing views can't be beat. It's always hard to leave at the end of the week! The property owners communicate well and are very responsive.

Wonderful home, stunning views
We had a wonderful visit. The home is very clean, well equipped(including a gas grill on the deck!) and nicely decorated. The TV has Roku so access to Netflix, etc is easy. The owners were very responsive when I needed to clarify anything. The views of Lake Michigan are stunning...sunrise, midday and of course those gorgeous sunsets! The place is a wildlife haven...we saw a momma deer & her two teenagers, a hawk and even an eagle! We were at Ludington State Park 3 different days for hiking and there is a nice flat public beach 3 minutes by car. Highly recommend this property.

Beautiful lake and sunset views
This is a lovely home in private location overlooking Lake Michigan. We saw deer, wild turkeys, and a bald eagle! We completed the SS Badger puzzle, used the grill and some beach supplies, and our family saw many beautiful sunsets and stars at night—bear stars, big and Little Dippers, shooting stars, etc. Take your bug spray! Disappointed to not have the beach access as the pictures show, however many beaches are within short driving distance and we were able to find spots all to ourselves with the Covid19 concern. We saw many bikers on the main road from this home, but I wouldn’t recommend it for biking, running, or walking,. We found a back road from the water plant down the road for running. The owners, Ken and Sharon, provided many details prior to our arrival and were very friendly. We definitely recommend this property!

Beautiful sunsets
Very quiet secluded area, but still easy to get to. Plenty of areas for hiking and fishing with a town close by for any forgotten items. Plenty of room for all 8 of us to eat together and visit. Several beaches that weren't crowded to enjoy. Smores at night watching the sunset with the fire going was a favorite.

Lovely summer house with gorgeous sunsets
Beautiful, well maintained and equipped house in a very quiet, private location. Views off the high bluff of the lake and every sunset are fantastic. This year the lake is very high, so that descending the stairs to the water below the house is not possible, but the local park just a mile or so down the street provides lovely swimming, as does Ludington State Park of course. Having the park nearby for hiking, and the town just around the corner for ice cream and supplies is just great.

Excellent Home on Lake Michigan
We recently stayed at Endless Summer with our family of four! This property was perfect! Beautiful location with an amazing view along with excellent home accommodations. Very private property and within a 10 min drive to downtown Ludinton . Home was equipped with linens, paper products, towels, pots/pans, coffee, detergents .... ALL THE THINGS!!! It was nice not having to worry about bringing all the extra stuff! Kids especially loved the ping pong table in the basement!!! Ken and Sharon were easily available to communicate with and answer any questions! I would definitely recommend this property as we really enjoyed our stay!

This place was wonderful, nicely redone and very spacious. We liked how close it is to Ludington and Pentwater. We truly had a wonderful time and hope to go back again in the following years. Great family memories were made!!
