This VRBO is private, but attached to the host's home. From the deck next to where you'll stay you'll have a stunning view of lake Michigan. It's not set up for cooking (mini fridge, microwave, and a combo coffee maker/toaster oven) but they provide plenty of firewood for the fire pit and we had a full steak dinner we cooked on our second night there and enjoyed a lovely sunset while we ate. Over a mile of beach to walk along if you so choose and you can sit by the water in front of the rental if you want. There is wi-fi, we preferred to rest and disconnect from our busy lives and this is a great spot to do it. You will be staying between the neighbor's house and the Host's and you will have to be mindful of light/noise (porch light can shine right into neighbor's open windows) so not the place I would recommend for visitors who want to play music/night owls. It's definitely a lovely spot for quiet reflection/enjoyment.
