Pet-friendly, Lake Front Home on the Beach with Golf Cart
The Big Wave Beach House is your new favorite home away from home and is just opening up for rentals under new owners.

Situated on the shores of Lake Kai, and a 5-minute walk through Beachwalk Resort to Sheridan Beach on Lake Michigan, this home is perfect for groups of up to 12 guests. Enjoy the fireplace from the comforts of the living room or from the enclosed porch overlooking the lake. Step out onto the sand and walk the edge of Lake Kai to the massive resort pool, splash pad, toddler pool, beach volleyball court, clubhouse, activity dock, or café. Jump in your golf cart and head to one of three resort playgrounds, or park it by the boardwalk path to Lake Michigan. Catch some rays from the second-floor deck lounge chairs with panoramic views of Lake Kai and finish your days with a nightcap by the outdoor fire pit under the stars. Don't forget your pups!

Fantastic views and resort
Amazing views of the lake all throughout the house. We enjoyed both decks as well as the well appointed lower patio area with kayaks, scooters, etc.
Property was not all that clean (carpets, floors, cobwebs) and needs some routine maintenance. Property manager was quick to respond to questions.
Great place for our family getaway with dogs

Great location
The overall experience was good. The house was described as listed. The amenities were not as described. There was one small bike listed when the listing stated there were three; the kayaks were dirty and the adult kayak was broken; the corn hole game had been left out and the was rotted. The location was great and the house was clean.

Senior Gathering
Great fun, wonderful accomodations, a few maintenance issues. Fully stocked kitchen & very clean. Rained the entire weekend, but that didn't stop us from having a good time. Will come back.

Disappointed
For what we paid, it wasn’t worth it. The house wasn’t clean. The carpet had big stains, and our bare feet would get dirty after walking inside without shoes. There were cobwebs in the master shower, and hair on the outside of another shower when we arrived. We were excited to check in, which had to be done in person, and they told us information about the property such as trash day, and cost if we lost a wristband. After reviewing all of our charges, we were charged for 4 wristbands and parking when we made the reservation. (Not sure why the parking fee, when we parked at the house.) They did not mention how to use the free amenities, or that they were treating the pond with chemicals. Thank goodness a kind neighbor came to tell us after my kids were swimming in Kai pond, since they had told the residents not to swim while it was being treated. That would have been helpful to know when making the reservation. As much as I love the area, and this location, we were left disappointed! I thought it would be justified since a golf cart was included and our 5lb dog could join, but not now. Disappointed to have been excited to do activities advertised that weren’t available, and have a dirty house for what we spent.
