need help with a beach rental

I know this is late in the year to be thinking of ';beach'; rentals but my husband and I are considering taking our girls (8 and 17) up to south haven for the fall break weekend. We would like to rent a cottage on the beach. Any suggestions? We have never been to the Michigan side of Lake Michigan and aren%26#39;t familiar with South Haven but got a great recommendation from friends.

i%26#39;ve used michi-mona mac...small but clean and well equiped cottages right on the beach run by nice folks...there are other condos on the beach you can ck out at the south haven web site...

it%26#39;s not at all late in the year...it%26#39;s lovely and quieter up there then..and the beach is a hoot at any time...great kite flying weather now!! and sometimes still warm enough for some beach chairing!!

i tend to stay off the beach to save money and then just park myself at one of the major beaches or packard park on the north side to enjoy the shore.

thanks flizzer. I have emailed michi-mona-mac but haven%26#39;t received a response. Also, are you familiar with a place further north on the beach (greyish blue 2 story home with 5 or 6 cottages on the beach) owned by a lady named Sylvia? I am trying to get her contact information. Was told by a friend that it is a lovely place but she doesn%26#39;t advertise and the friend didn%26#39;t have the contact info.

Doesn%26#39;t ring a bell but I%26#39;ll drive out Northshore on the way home and see if I see anything fitting the description.

Thanks Rono. I did hear back from Kathy at Michi-Mona-Mac and she has a ';yardside'; unit available for the 23-26 of October. Sounds good, good price at $135 per night. I emailed her back because am not sure what ';yardside'; means. I know flizzer said good things about michi-mona-mac, what does anyone else think?

Hey thanks Marty! I%26#39;ll check it out!

don%26#39;t know the other...i%26#39;m sure rono will dig up the info for ya...

michimonamac has a web site that details the info on the cottages...ck that out...that means you%26#39;re not right on the beach....but there was a place to hang out on the beach and you%26#39;re just steps...plus you save money!!

they%26#39;re not fancy but clean and well run!!

you really can%26#39;t go wrong on the north shore in my opinion....but for me it%26#39;s just about that big blue water...and i%26#39;m into clean but small and not fancy is aok with me...

good luck in your hunting!! and let us know how it goes!

I%26#39;ve never noticed them before. I didn%26#39;t see them from the road, but we were out on the lake yesterday and sure enough just north of MMM there are cottages very similar looking to MMM. The color was right and the address given above fits.

BTW it%26#39;s nearly 80 here today, the lake is flat,the leaves are turning, and the sun is shining.

Hey Rono, thanks. I emailed Griff%26#39;s Inn and haven%26#39;t heard back to I%26#39;m going to book MMM for the weekend of the 25th and we%26#39;ll check out the other place when we%26#39;re up there!

It%26#39;s gorgeous here in Indy today also. We have a little jet boat that we take out sometimes and it was nice today. Don%26#39;t think we%26#39;ll bring it up to the ';big water'; though!
