It’s been completely renovated from front to back, with everything new creating a home-from-home for a family or group of friends who appreciate the finer things in life. And it will be all yours for however long you book it, with every room offering up luxurious living for all guests.
OPEN CONCEPT LIVING / DINING / KITCHEN AREA
It’s hard not to be amazed by the quality of this space, with its ceiling featuring exposed wooden beams, and floor to ceiling windows that give you panoramic views of Lake Michigan and the surrounding area. Enjoy spending time together in this wide open space overlooking the water. Get relaxing in the sitting area with a comfortable sofa offering up a place to kickback and unwind, perhaps to catch up with fellow guests you’ve not seen for a while. You’ll be surrounded by stunning views of the lake (watch out for those epic sunsets) and will also have a smart TV to watch if there’s time.
When it’s time to eat, the kitchen provides a fully equipped area in which you can get snacks or meals ready for your group. A large oven and stovetop ensure there’s space to cook all kinds of dishes, with all the cookware and cutlery you’re likely to need waiting for you.
For mealtimes, you have options - some can choose to sit at the stools on the kitchen island. Others can gather around the nearby dining table. Either way, take the chance to toast good times and great living. Revel in taking the opportunity to be together in a house that’s presented and furnished in a truly exceptional fashion.
THE 3 BEDROOMS
It’s hard to beat the relaxing joy you’ll experience falling asleep to the sound of the waves of Lake Michigan, and then waking up to spectacular views. There are 3 bedrooms in the house, two of which have king beds, with the third featuring 2 x single beds and 2 x double beds. All have top quality mattresses and bedding to ensure a great night’s sleep for everyone. And you’ll find plenty of space to store your belongings, in closets and chests of drawers in each of the rooms.

You’ll find quality towels here for all guests and a selection of toiletries, plus plenty of space to store your favorite gels, lotions, shampoos etc.
OUTSIDE SPACE
An outdoor entertaining area means you can enjoy the great outdoors as well as the stunning interior when you stay here.
Booking this beach house gives you access, via steps, to your own secluded and private stretch of beach on the shores of Lake Michigan. No doubt you’ll be itching to get out on the water. If so, you’re welcome to use the kayaks and paddleboards supplied by your hosts.
For those in your group who prefer to look at the water rather than getting on or in it for a swim, there are joyous sunsets to be enjoyed from seats outside the house or from down on the beach.
REMOTE WORKING
The entire property is served by fast WiFi. There are plenty of places inside and outside for you to sit and get tapping on the keys of your laptop if you have work to do.

Heather H. Jul 13, 2025 01:45:57 AM
Summary: Lovely home with responsive owners. Private, sandy beach and unbelievable views. Home has all the amenities you could need while being close enough to Manistee for dinner out, a stroll on the pier or limited shopping. Great for family and extra bunk house with tv was great for teenagers. Would highly recommend.
Teresa R. Jul 6, 2025 10:49:29 PM
Summary: We absolutely loved the home. The two walls of just glass gave us a view of lake from all areas of the main living space. Absolutely gorgeous place to stay and loved the separate porch/room the ability to wash off the sand either using the shower or the foot sprayer was wonderful. The house was well appointed with high-end kitchen, beach towels, etc. The kayaks were so much fun as well as the paddleboard. It was great to have our own beach to go to right out the door.
Molly N. Jun 29, 2025 12:01:34 AM
Summary: Exactly as shown! A beautiful home with a stunning view to match. A family getaway with time well spent and memories made.A few minor idiosyncrasies…….rug inside the front door was a bit dangerous as it slid out of place instantly. Not much storage throughout the home but not a necessity when just visiting. Lighting in main room not the best, nor was the living room furniture very cozy, however, the large windows on the back of the house looking out to the lake were a bonus. Positive notes…….owners provided a large supply of amenities, including quality beach towels, toiletries, bath towels, coffee/latte bar, tiki torches & fuel, outdoor furniture, fire pit & wood. In addition, the home was very clean & nicely decorated. Quick & easy communication with owners, both personally and online.We traveled from central Illinois. We are not likely to return only because it’s not necessary to travel so far north to obtain the same benefits that we received in Manistee. There are plenty of other cities along the west coast of Michigan that offer similar features.Overall, I would highly recommend this place to others. The Opal House is a beautiful little gem hidden off a quiet lane. Perfect getaway to unwind, relax, and capture a deep breath.

Summary: Amazing location, stunning views! We enjoyed our stay.
Kendra C. Aug 13, 2024 12:22:53 AM
Summary: We had a wonderful week at this rental! The property and home were stunning. Beds were very comfortable, and there was plenty to keep my two young kids occupied. We spent hours walking the beach looking at rocks and finding seaglass. The views and the sound of the waves are simply incredible. Thanks for a special week!
Julie R. Aug 6, 2024 08:58:56 PM
Summary: Our family enjoyed a wonderful week at this lakeside cottage. Kitchen was very well stocked, with beautiful views of the lake. The bunk room was perfect for our two children! The kayaks and paddle board were awesome when the lake was calm, beautiful clear water! Highly recommend a visit to Sleeping Bear Dunes and the charming town of Ludington nearby.
Amanda F. Jul 15, 2024 10:54:03 PM
Summary: Very comfortable property and everything you would need. The views were absolutely breathtaking from inside and outside the property. Found the nearby town of Ludington very charming. Would definitley stay again.
Michael F. Jul 7, 2024 08:47:01 AM
Summary: We were very impressed with our vacation rental. Everything was as described in the listing. The house was very clean and stocked well. The lake and beach did not disappoint us! We all enjoyed our week
Malaina B. Jun 23, 2024 01:53:20 AM
Summary: This was our 7th summer in Michigan and our 6th rental house there. The house was very clean. With 3 kids, we loved the easy access to the water/beach water (searching for sea glass is so much fun), the additional tvs (including the one in the enclosed porch), the friendliness and helpfulness of the hosts, we could go on and on. Check out the Daily Bakehouse in Manistee, Sleeping Bear Dunes (and nearby Glen Arbor).
Dinice P. Jun 22, 2024 09:57:37 AM
Summary: The house is nearly perfect! We’ve rented quite a few Lake Michigan vacation homes and this is our new favorite! The beds are comfy! The home is so clean. We didn’t find ourselves working around someone else’s toiletries, clothes or food. The extra tv room/bunk house was a huge hit with our teens! We appreciated the quality appliances and kitchen wares. The hot water seemed endless. The nearly 180 degree view of Lake Michigan was beautiful. We hope to return!
