About this property

Best Front Porch In Macatawa Park - Private Lake Michigan Beach

Our Lake Michigan beach front home is located in the historic Macatawa Park neighborhood. The beach is just steps away from the front porch... an incredible view of the sunset!

Macatawa Park is a gated private community. Lakeside Rd is closed to motor vehicles from May to September. Parking is limited to two assigned spots, one a short walk from the cottage and another about a 5 min walk. This creates a unique environment that is great for a family with kids.

Originally built in 1924, this home was nicely renovated in 2010. The update included many modern amenities, such as new appliances in the kitchen. We replaced the windows in early 2018, along with a new furnace and central air (additional charge for A/C usage.)

Originally called the Chicago Cottage, we have renamed it Kirkwood Cottage. It is our home away from home! Come see the best Macatawa has to offer.

Best Location Ever
The cottage is directly on the beach, you can not get any closer. It is beautiful, clean and well furnished. You do not need to bring anything more than food and yourselves. Shane was quick with answers and extremely helpful. This was a family vacation that was the best we’ve ever had. I look forward to returning again!

Lakeside Family Time
This charming property is located on a very nice beach right on Lake Michigan. The house is older but has been updated and well kept, especially the kitchen. We had a wonderful stay with our 3 children, their spouses and our grandson.

Awesome Beach Front
All was perfect for our 1st Family Vacation! The weather could have been better but we know it’s iffy in June in Michigan...did not stop us from handing a great time. Next time we’ll look for a place in July.
