7566 West Harbor Highway is the dream beach escape conjured in an easy summer read or as the backdrop to your favorite, cozy film. It's nestled along the shores of Sleeping Bear Bay, within a short distance of charming, downtown Glen Arbor, and sits in the heart of the peaceful, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Its decking wraps around both cottages, creating meandering spaces and walkways to soak in the turquoise waters, breathtaking scenery, the scent of lake air, and the gentle rustle of the surrounding hardwoods and pines. This property consists of two original cottages, filled with charm but updated with comfort in mind. Between the two, there are four bedrooms, two and one half bathrooms, two kitchens, two fireplaces, and a screened in porch on each cottage. The walls are lined with ship lap, a welcoming addition to any classic cottage setting. Sitting just next to the main, waterside cottage, is a separate little cottage, entirely its own screened in porch, outfitted like an additional living room. It's where you sip your morning coffee covered by a blanket, laugh with friends over a cocktail or glass of wine, play board games with your kids, or read away a rainy day. Dare we say it's even the ideal home office? This is a space that beckons comfort, lightheartedness, relaxation, ease, and a sense of peace. A place where nothing surrounding you is too precious to use or to touch, but is instead meant to act as a serene backdrop to the incredible memories you'll make. This is beach living in the way it was meant to be.
