Two waterfront homes we own and look after ourselves — a lakefront house with 200 feet of private beach in Michigan, and a deep-water canal home with a boat hoist in Florida. Book direct and skip the service fees.
Both sit on the water. Both are whole houses — no shared entries, no subdivided units, no surprises about what you are actually renting.
Deep-water canal with a new boat hoist to 24ft — minutes to Pine Island Sound
200ft of private beach on a secluded point — sleeps 10, plus a separate guest house
The listing sites take a cut from both sides. Coming straight to us removes it, and we pass most of that back to you rather than keeping it.
Our nightly rate here is set roughly 10% below what the same nights cost on the listing sites — and you avoid the booking fee those sites add at checkout on top. Same house, same calendar, smaller total.
Questions about the water, the boat hoist, or whether the place suits your family get answered by the person who owns it, not a support queue.
Our availability is synced live with every channel these homes are listed on, so what you see here is what is genuinely free.
We also own and manage single-family homes on annual leases in Michigan and Florida — well-kept houses in neighborhoods we would live in ourselves.
