With a gorgeous top-to-bottom renovation that was completed in 2020 and sporting new updates for 2023, this lakefront cottage in the heart of historic Lakeside is truly one of a kind. This modern home is situated on a mid-size bluff above Orchard Beach, a wide, 80-foot stretch of sand that's shared by association members only at the north end of a long, walkable beach on a natural cove of Lake Michigan. Enjoy access to a private beach cabana, with easy access to chairs, umbrellas, and beach toys to make your excursions on the shores truly memorable.
This contemporary home is full of style and natural light, offering new appliances and fixtures throughout, an open and airy great room, and a fully equipped kitchen with an extra-large island and stainless steel appliances - all of which contribute to the authentic, beach-house ambience. Come home from the lakeshore each afternoon to rinse off the sand in the refreshing outdoor shower, get the gas grill going on the raised deck, or simply play with your kids in the spacious yard. Leave your swimsuits to spin in the private washer/dryer, and spend the evening hours telling stories in the warmth of the firepit outside.

Summary: Great location, poor cleanliness and support. Dirt/crumbs/sand on floor. Bedroom comforters stained brown. Don't know how often this place is actually cleaned or maintained. After a shower in the master night 1, a strong rotten egg odor arose from the laundry room, which has access to, I assume, a basement/crawl space of sorts where a water heater/softener is located and main sewage drains. The smell was overwhelming. Contacted vacasa who said a local team would remedy it by morning and asked if I'd like contacted before they enter. I said yes. Come midday there had been no communication. I reached out again, to which I was told the local team would be taking care of it. The maintenance person texted me, apologizing but saying they "probably couldn't do anything about the odor" but would be happy to come by anyway, though they let the property owner know, who was "being proactive about it". I texted back asking if I should expect the property owner to be coming by. No response. I called with no answer. I was never contacted about this issue again. I don't know if it was resolved or not. We did not bathe the remaining 2 days of our stay for fear of the stench. I reached back out to vacasa support about not knowing whether or not anyone had been or planned to come by and they said they didn't know either. Overall, the location is premier. Lovely neighborhood with a quick trip to the private beach. Cleanliness and communication left more to be desired.
