Beachfront vacation rentals in Christmas Cove Beach

Wow! if I could turn my car around and go right back to Miriah's place, I would do it in a heartbeat! We took our 3 kids for a quick Fall Break trip to Elk Rapids and we all fell in love with Miriah's place and this amazing little town. The house is a perfect layout for families, with lots of common spaces to hang out together AND enough sitting nooks for people to find quiet places to read and relax too. The kitchen has got to be the most well stocked Airbnb kitchen I've ever been to. Next time, I'll plan to cook more because now I know Miriah's house literally has EVERYTHING you might need to cook and serve a big group. The house was spotlessly clean, the furniture was super comfy and we slept super well. We loved walking to the beach, playing at the playground, watching people catch fish by the dam, walking to the shops in town, and enjoying the incredible views. This place exceeded our expectations in every way. Thanks for a great stay!

We truly enjoyed our stay. The property was stunning! We wished for better weather to enjoy the kayaks and paddle boats, but that was nothing that could’ve been controlled. We did enjoy a fire in the pit. The lake view was beautiful. Jake was very pleasant and made sure we were taken care of. Thank you!

My family and I had a fantastic stay at Elizabeth’s place and was exactly as described- beautiful lake view/sunsets, well-equipped, comfortable beds, and great layout for multi-family (a plus I could bring my pup along)! It was a perfect centralized location to the activities we had planned for Memorial Day weekend (1 hr to Mackinaw City, 1 hr to Traverse City, 10 minutes to Boyne City, 30 minutes to Charlevoix and Petoskey). Elizabeth was very responsive and ensured check-in/check-out went smoothly. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Place was exactly as described. Perfect location for our needs and the ability to bring our dogs was a huge plus. House was spacious and well kept. Would stay here again

Super cute and cozy cabin that was perfect for our group of 6 while we were in town for the Bayshore Marathon. We enjoyed our stay!

Thank you for a wonderful stay in your beautifully decorated home and for your quick response to our questions.

Corey’s place was perfect for our needs. We loved being able to pull into the garage and let our dogs out directly into the fenced yard. The home was beautiful, very clean and had a wonderful layout. Everything we needed was available in the kitchen and bathrooms, there were even games. We enjoyed the beach access and the sunrise and sunset views. I really hope get another chance to stay here.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Beaver Tales! The cottage is a peaceful hideaway with incredible views. The home was clean, well-stocked, and had plenty of space for 2 adults, 3 kids under 10, and our small dog. The beach right in front is a mix of rocks and sand as the host described, but with water shoes the swimming was great and we spent hours rock hunting. The drop off is very gradual, perfect for the kids. The water was crystal clear most of the time but can get churned up depending on the wind and waves. There are also perfect sandy beaches within a 5-minute drive in either direction. Elizabeth was very responsive and flexible, and it was a wonderful experience all around. This was our first visit to the island and we'll certainly be back!

The property at Boyne is a classic and has maintained a warm place in our memories which we have returned to decades ago after decades. There is history and seasoning in everything which has traveled and joined in our time and hopes every time we attend.

Tony’s place was absolutely perfect for our family! We especially loved the deck right next to the water—it was the most peaceful spot to relax . The hot tub and pool were big hits too, and the location couldn’t have been better for our fishing charter. Tony was a fantastic host—super nice and flexible, which made everything easy. We truly felt at home and can’t wait to come back!

Beach Bliss was a perfect get away with gorgeous views! The unit was very clean and inviting. Dandan was very attentive with any questions we may have had. I would highly recommend her place.

Great condo - even brighter, cheerier, and roomier than pictured! Condo was clean, beds were comfortable, lots of linens and beach towels, games, well stocked kitchen.... and the view of the lake is fantastic! There were no neighbors when we were there so it was very quiet. Just minutes to Nub's Nob and the Highlands. Lots of choices for restaurants near by and good grocery store nearby. Host was ultra available and accommodating with lots of instructional / helpful signage throughout the condo, lots of extras!!! Thanks for a great stay! Looking forward to going back!!

My husband said to put it on the top of re-rent list, highly suggest! The house is rustic in the perfect up north vibes kinda way while keeping all the nice amententies of home. There was plenty of space inside and out.The little lake and view from the deck are beautiful! The privacy and large yard give plenty to do even on somewhat rainy cloudy days, we had fires, kayaked, hiked. We went to the community pool on a nice hot day, the pool was nicely heated, clean and had a great view. It was also connected to a bar and grill that brings cocktails and food to you. We grilled and ate like kings and it was so nice to have the stocked kitchen and grill, the ice maker was a perfect touch and the variety of ways to make coffee and or tea were so thoughtful. We are already talking about when we could go again! Thank you for the wonderful mini vacation❤️

This was our first trip with our 4 young adult children, their spouses, & our grand baby's 1st vacation. Absolutely thoughtful and intentional details to make our stay fun and cozy: yard games, kayaks, beach lounge chairs, fire pit and Adirondack chairs, cozy blankets to snuggle on the sofas, and spacious property allowed us to have privacy yet spend special time together. Also, the dining for 10 was just perfect with all the kitchen appliances and supplies to make special home cooked meal.

Jesse was a great host and we enjoyed staying at their place! We appreciated the private beach to play at and the pool was well maintained. There were plenty of food and entertainment options that Jesse recommended in their binder, and all were fantastic choices. The views were amazing from the living room/patio, and it felt very private. We couldn’t see any other guest and did not hear neighbors. It was very peaceful being on site and we could definitely see about renting the place again in the future! Jesse was a great host, communicated early and often, and made sure our stay was a pleasant one. Overall, great experience and thank you for letting us stay at your lovely home!

Michael place was great! He also very accommodating with a last minute booking and changes.

My family had a great stay at Kelly’s home. The location is really everything you could hope for on Torch lake. The private beach and access to the water is really a game changer if you want to enjoy some time on Torch with small kids.

This house was exactly what we were looking for. Directly on the lake with an area for our kids to play, a dock to enjoy and an awesome porch and outdoor firepit. The house was very clean and had all cookware and basic items we needed. Great place for fun with the family or just go relax and unwind.

This little cottage was absolutely adorable! It was very clean and decorated beautifully. It had every amenity that you could ask for and had a great view of gorgeous Torch Lake. Karen was extremely friendly and very helpful with suggestions and recommendations for local restaurants and things to do and responded quickly with any questions that we had. We would definitely rent this home again.

My fiancé stayed here for a weekend with his friends and they had a great time! Tara was quick with responses and was a great host! :)

This cottage was so cute & cozy, and was fully stocked with amenities. They had a full coffee bar, fun games to play inside, cornhole for outside, kayaks, paddle boards and a paddle boat, and so much more. We spent our whole time outside enjoying the beautiful scenery and quietness. It was so relaxing and I would definitely recommend staying here, to friends and family. Plus downtown Gaylord was only a 10 minute drive away!

Beautiful home in a gorgeous location - perfect for our family getaway!

My wife and I had a very relaxing time at this cozy spot. Wish it was a little warmer to enjoy the water but still a great view! Thank you Marguerite for your timely responses and all your help.

The Jolly Lodge is your quintessential Lake Michigan get away stay overlook the clear blue waters of the lake with your own private beach and lawn overlooking Manitou Island in the distance! Highly recommended for sure!
