Updated Family Beach Cottage-100 yds to Beach/Game Room/Fire Pit

Welcome to The Cottage at Riley Beach! Our spacious and updated beach cottage sleeps 12 with a large and open floor plan. Start your mornings with a cup of coffee on the deck, listening to the waves of Lake Michigan. Walk the short, sandy path to the beach and spend your days playing in the water with your family or relaxing on the sand. Return to the beautiful cottage for a family meal or check out some of the local restaurants just minutes away. End your day with a campfire in the peaceful backyard while listening to the waves.

Lots to do in the area for fall and winter including hiking, biking (bikes included), apple picking, cross country skiing, down-hill skiing and snowshoeing. Make a cozy fire in the outdoor firepit while listening to the waves or play some family games around the indoor fireplace. And don't forget about the game room in the garage!

BEACH: The path to Riley Beach is located right at the edge of our property. The path is about 100 yards long and takes you to the top of the dune. Riley Beach is a public beach with limited parking so it is typically pretty quiet. It's where the locals tend to go to avoid the crowds at other beaches. There's a beautiful view of the water at the top of the path and then several private areas to sit and enjoy the beauty of Lake Michigan. Head down to the water for lots of fun! Keep in mind that you need to walk the path up and over the dune to get to the beach. It’s so worth it!

WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT THE COTTAGE: Growing up in Holland, we spent most of our summers at Lake Michigan. After moving to Florida, we always wanted a place where we could spend time with our extended family and enjoy the lake! The Cottage at Riley Beach is just that! We love the easy access to the beach and the peacefulness around the cottage. It's just what we were hoping for--a place to enjoy family, the lake and get away from it all! Just minutes away are some of our favorite spots (Captain Sundae, Lolo's, Sandy Point Restaurant...) and the bike path is perfect for the family. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

*Please be aware that Lake MI water levels are cyclical and are high right now. This makes the sandy path to the beach a bit steep but totally worth it. If you have guests in your party with mobility issues, we recommend Holland State Park for beach access.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as an arcade/game room and barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

A great beach home for family!
My family (5 adults, 3 kids- ages 13, 10, and 8) spent the week at this lovely home. The description on the listing perfectly matched the home. We appreciated the size and all the extras (game room, beach chairs and toys, bikes, etc). We also loved that it was close to lots of places we wanted to visit. The home is right by a public beach as well, which was very nice. Just be aware, it is a bit of a hike to get over the dune to it. We had 2 adults with us with mobility issues and they were not able to access the beach. However, they both still loved the home! It was a great home with no issues!

We absolutely had a blast staying at this home. It's not large, but had plenty of space for 4 adults and 3 kids. The ability to walk to the beach is a major selling point along with the proximity to Holland. Would definitely book again!

The home was very comfortable, and the children just loved the garage activities. The adults loved the bicycles. Access to the beach is incredible. And the host had chairs and toys and towels! We cooked most of our meals and found the kitchen to be well stocked. We enjoyed the fire pit and picnic table. It was a short drive to everything we wanted to see.

Holy Holland
This house and location exceeded our expectations! The house is super clean and comfortable (including beds). The host has went out of their way to ensure an entertaining stay. Lots of games for inside and out. The house came with plenty of board games and the garage housed air hockey and ping pong along with others! They had toys to play in the sand and a ton of beach chairs. They also provided a ton of beach towels. They also provided yard games such a corn hole and others. The bikes were also a wonderful touch. Plenty of bikes for our group of 8. We took two bike rides along the paved sidewalk along Lakeshore Drive. It was nice to see all of the beautiful homes along the way. The house has a wonderful fire pit area and deck. We enjoyed these areas most mornings and nights. I also appreciated the Bose speaker to have music at the fire pit. The house is extremely close to the beach. It is steep to get down and up, but most people could make it. My elderly grandparents and mom didn't try it, but Holland State Park (right down the road), and Windsnest Park have easier access points. Windsnest is beautiful! Nice little playground area and clean restrooms. The beach is beautiful. The host provided us with all of this information. Thank you! We really enjoyed Crust 54 pizza as well. We really enjoyed our time at the house! My only suggestion to those coming is to bring a few more washcloths :).

2022 Tulip Days
The property was very well equipped and suited our family's needs but we had a couple of issues. We found that the photo of fire pit was out dated in that a mega-mansion is being built just a few feet away. Not only did it obstruct the view, but work started every morning at 7:00 a.m. so sleeping late in the upstairs bedroom was not an option. Our only other issue was the sandy path to the beach. The VRBO listing didn't mention that it was up and over a very steep sand dune that couldn't be accessed by the two older memebers of our family. With even the slightest mobility issued this dune is too much since there are no steps.

Great place for quality family time
After a year of separation because of the pandemic, this was a wonderful place for our family to reconnect and spend quality time together. The cottage was very clean, well equipped, had a nice outside hang out area and was very close to a small beach. The host was wonderful and responded very quickly to our questions and a small issue with the air conditioning. Our only small complaint was that the water left rusty residue on some of our laundry due to a need for a water softener. Overall, this is a great place!

Our stay for our daughters wedding week
This house was perfect for our family! We were staying in Holland for my daughter’s wedding. We had 10 adults, 2 young children and a 1 year old. There was plenty of sleeping space and room for all of us to stay here comfortably. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, the kitchen / living room area was great for all of us to eat and gather, we were able to set up yard games in the front lawn and we had a wonderful evening around the fire pit one night. The game tables in the garage were enjoyed by all of us and we also used some of the many board games and puzzles provided in the house. The private Lake Michigan beach access was great and a beautiful spot for sunset pictures! (A little challenging to climb the sandy dune area for us “older folks” but worth the effort! My daughter’s wedding photographer and videographer took some pictures in the sunroom of the house and out on the deck area and they proved to be a pretty backdrop. I would highly recommend this house for a family vacation and would definitely stay here again! The home owner was wonderful to work with and to communicate with too! A plus anytime you stay at a VRBO!

Beautiful house with everything you need.
We had a great vacation. The house has everything you need (and more!). The location is close to downtown Holland, Ottawa Beach, a wonderful bike/walking path, and of course has its own beach just steps away. The beach path would be difficult to traverse with those who have mobility issues, but our group didn’t have any issues. The house is very clean, beautifully decorated and has lots of toys and books for little ones which was a welcome surprise for our two toddlers. We highly recommend this rental!
