Right off the living room, the first-floor screened porch has wicker lounge chairs at one end and a farmhouse table and bench at the other. Sun pours across the wood floor and the screens keep the bugs out: the morning coffee spot and the afternoon card-game table.
A gas grill sits right beside the outdoor dining table, with colorful chairs under a big turquoise umbrella. Privacy fencing keeps it feeling like your own backyard.
A ring of Adirondack chairs sits in soft sand around the fire pit, with kid-size chairs for the little ones. A rope hammock hangs nearby for afternoon naps. This is where the night ends: s'mores, stories and the last of the sunset.
Out front, a picket-fenced garden with more Adirondack chairs. Upstairs, the master suite has its own private screened porch with a pair of rocking chairs. Parking for five cars is right at the house.
Seasonal use of a four-seater golf cart is included. Pile in the beach chairs and cooler and cruise to the Lake Michigan beach, the pool or the clubhouse.
