Description
Private beach access! This Holland vacation rental is a secluded piece of Heaven! When you make your way down the wooded drive you will find a Lake Michigan solitude in this home. With its cottage charm, and beautiful private beach, you won't want to leave. The Lake views from the house are breathtaking and the patio overlooking Lake Michigan is a great spot to enjoy your morning coffee while you are here. This vacation home is minutes away from all of your favorite "things to do!"
This home sleeps six in three bedrooms. Master bedroom has a queen bed, bedroom two has two twin beds, and bedroom three has a twin bunk bed. This cute cottage has a dining table in the kitchen which is great for sitting around and talking while preparing meals together. The three season porch off the living room is a great amenity and will for sure get used by everyone!
Note from Owner: "Welcome to Skylight Cottage! Three generations of our family have enjoyed this peaceful retreat, and we hope your family will, too. Skylight Cottage is filled with light from many sliding windows and doors every day, and has the perfect patio for memorable sunset photos while you grill your supper. Home is one step up from the parking area and only forty steps up from the beach with a bench along the way for catching the sunset! Enjoy your visit to this serene, mid-century home during all four seasons as there are many activities just moments away in our award winning downtown attending theater, art galleries, our farm market or wandering at your leisure. Skylight is just twenty minutes from downtown Holland or Grand Haven for shopping, dining and entertainment options, but you'll find a great option in Sandy Point Beach House, just a short 2 mile drive or bike ride away with brunch, dinner, and frequent live music. Your family may enjoy bike rides on the multi-use path that stretches from Holland to Grand Haven, and beach walks looking for sea glass and fossils. Bike and kayak rentals available in town at several locations. Just wanting a retreat from a too busy life? Enjoy the WiFi, cable television, small library, and collection of games during your visit."
Holland is located on the shores of Lake Michigan and Lake Macatawa. Here, you can spend your days at Holland State Park where there is plenty of room for family fun along the white, sandy beaches. You and your family can take an excursion to Nelis' Dutch Village, DeKlomp Wooden Shoe Factory, and Veldheer Tulip Gardens. These places will bring you back in time to experience the Netherlands of the 1800's. If you find yourself in Holland the first week of May, be sure to take a look at the over 6 million tulips blooming throughout the city during Tulip Time festival, which was named the "Best Small Town Festival in America" by Reader's Digest Magazine and received USA Today's "2016 Best Flower Festival!" Downtown Holland is known as the "Great American Mainstreet." Make sure to spend a day downtown where an abundance of shopping and dining can be found, as well the funky street performers who will surely entertain you with their acrobatics, magic, music and more! When evening approaches, you can return to the beach to watch the sunset while roasting marshmallows over one of the many fire pits found along the sandy shore. From the award-winning downtown to the exceptional beaches and Dutch heritage, your family will fall in love with Holland's small town charm and big city amenities.

Our first time renting here. Very nice little cottage, with very nice furniture and a fabulous view of the lake. And decent internet service! If you use the marinetraffic.com site, you can tell when a big ship will be passing by. We rented off-season, early November. The heat worked great, as did all the plumbing & the kitchen. The beach and the neighborhood were perfectly quiet -- no sound but the wind in the trees and the waves on the shore. I hope we can come back. Looking west across Lake Michigan is one of the best things you can do in this life.

My fifth year of renting Skylight Cottage for a week of family summer fun together. Cottage is well-maintained and some furnishings have been updated to provide a more comfortable visit. I have nothing but good things to say about my family's stay at Skylight Cottage!! Thank you for a wonderful week!!

A quaint cottage with 40 step decking to a great beach & sunset view. Relaxing couldn't get any better than this.

Our second year of renting this little cottage was again a wonderful experience. Although a bit smallish, the space is used well and did accommodate a group of family and friends that came to visit during the day. The view from the lake-side bedroom is a treat to wake up to. The stairs are manageable even for not-so-fit crowd. Although we were lucky to have a week without rain, there are plenty of things to do nearby should a storm front come through. We hope to come back next year (if we haven't enticed too many and lose a spot!)
