Frankie's Place | Beach Access via Tram, Screened Porch, Private Hot Tub
Welcome to Frankie’s Place – Tail Wags Guaranteed
Hi there. I’m Frankie. And this place? It’s mine. Well, I share it (nicely!) with my humans, and now, maybe with you. Whether you're coming with two legs or four, you're officially invited to stay at my favorite spot on Earth—Frankie’s Place.
Featured Amenities: Dog Friendly – I insisted. Screened Porch + Fire Pit (I nap while you talk) Private SEASONAL Hot Tub (no dogs allowed, trust me—I’ve tried) Neighborhood Tram to the Beach (it’s a ride! like in a car! but better!)
Inside My Home When you walk in, you’ll feel it—this is a happy place. The sun spills in, the ceilings are tall, and everything feels warm and bright, like a good belly rub.
My humans filled this space with soft colors and comfy furniture that’s perfect for curling up. Whether you're reading a book, sipping wine, or watching a fire dance in the fireplace, this is where people tend to smile without trying.
And the screened porch? Oh, I love it there. It’s quiet, with just the sound of birds and breezes. Bring your morning coffee or your late-night lemonade, and settle in. You’ll see what I mean.
Kitchen Shenanigans My favorite spot to supervise is the kitchen. There’s plenty of counter space for humans to chop and stir and snack (I recommend anything that might accidentally fall). You can stock up at the roadside farm stands or hit Cogdal Vineyards for a bottle to open “just because.” There’s even a grill out back for your Grill Master (or that one guy who burns everything but tries hard).
Backyard Vibes The backyard is my zone. There’s a hot tub for you (again—no dogs, sigh), and a Solo Stove fire pit that makes nights smell amazing. This is where everyone gathers. Stories are told. Marshmallows get gooey. And sometimes, if I’m lucky, someone drops a hot dog.
Sleepy Time After a full day of sniffing, playing, and porch-lounging, you’ll sleep like a log here. The master bedroom has a private en suite and a bed so comfy it’s like falling into a cloud. Three more bedrooms each have queen beds, and the bunk room is perfect for pups-in-training (aka kids or single adults who love a cozy nook).
Let’s Talk Beach Frankie’s Place is just a short stroll to the tram that glides you down the 90-foot bluff to Lake Michigan. It’s peaceful, private, and free from the crowds. You can walk, sniff, and explore to your heart’s content. The sunsets? I chase the light across the porch until it dips behind the trees. You’ll want to see it for yourself.
From My Family to Yours Frankie’s Place isn’t just a house—it’s a feeling. It’s where your shoulders drop. Your laugh gets louder. Your leash comes off (figuratively… unless you’re me). It’s where families make memories and tail wags are constant.
So if you’re looking for a place to stay where the welcome is real, the porch is peaceful, and the hot tub is ready—we’d love to have you. I’ll even save you my favorite sunny spot on the porch.
See you soon, Frankie
Notes from My Humans: Tram Info: The tram is run by our neighborhood association and is usually in great shape—but it may occasionally be down for maintenance. Please be kind and follow posted instructions to keep it running for everyone. Shoreline Details: The tram brings you down to a sandy overlook with access to lake stairs nearby. This property does not have a code for the stairs—please use the tram for entry to the beach. Seasonal Hot Tub: The hot tub is operational through the Summer season, but is shut down at the mid-end of October to prevent damage during the Winter.
Parking: 1 car in the garage, 3 in the driveway Pets: Dogs welcome! (No cats—I’m allergic to drama.) Beach Access: Neighborhood tram

This is our second time staying at Frankie‘s place. Both times we’ve stayed for one week and have enjoyed the area. It has great access to Lake Michigan on a private beach for that neighborhoods association. It allows you to enjoy Lake Michigan without crowds. The house is well furnished and stocked. Every time we needed something we found it.We plan to stay here again next year and would highly recommend it.

Very Clean and Very Organized
We really enjoyed our stay here. This home is well furnished with practically everything you may need. From charge cords, scotch tape, lighters, ect. This rental has beach access using the electric trolley which takes you down to the beach just one road north of this house. The key to operate the trolley was hanging on a hook by the front door. Nice yard, great HVAC system. Grill, backyard fireplace. They are in the middle of rebuilding the beach cliff with large rocks so that can get pretty loud during the day. Nicely set up for separate family groups to vacation together.

Nice place
The house was really clean and nice. Great space and good location. It was close to the beaches and downtown South Haven. It was on a dirt road and we were not made aware that there was major construction going on. Big trucks hauling dirt and stone on both sides of the house from early in the morning through the day. The whole side of the bluffs were torn up and being worked on. The other side of the tram was very pretty though.

Long weekend
We enjoyed our long weekend at Frankie’s Place. My husband instructed at Gingerman Race track and the rest of the family enjoyed South Haven. My husband grew up in Saugatuck/Holland so it was nice to be back in West Michigan. The house was perfect! It was well stocked. Parking allowed my husband to park his truck and car trailor. It was a nice walk to see the lake.
Highly recommend Frankie’s Place!!!

Renter
The beds were terrible. Some of the family left early because of it. We rent all the time and have never had beds this bad. They did not tell us the hot tub was not working or that the road fell on to part of the beach.

Beautiful place & beautiful location!
Our family of 6 stayed for a week. It was a wonderful property, beautifully kept, near the water and within a short drive to all sorts of adventures. Thank you for a lovely time. P.S. Host provided enough paper towels, toilet paper, and garbage bags for our crew for the week! Unexpected, but nice!

Frankie’s Place is a great property, walking distance to a beautiful lake view complete with sunsets! The tram down to the lake was a fun addition. It took us awhile to find the tram, so directions for that could’ve been a little better.

Nice long weekend spot
Frankie's Place accommodated our two families perfectly. The property is a close drive to town and the main beaches. The fire pit and hot tub were great ways to relax after a day of exploring. My husband loved the screened in porch to enjoy outside bugfree. The property management team was excellent and super helpful!
