ONLY A FEW SUMMER DATES LEFT! 7BR Lake Michigan Home • Heated Pool • Hot Tub

BLUE WATERS EDGE | LAKE MICHIGAN • PRIVATE BEACH • HEATED POOL • HOT TUB

Welcome to Blue Waters Edge, professionally operated by Waters Edge Holiday Rentals in Ludington, Michigan.

Built in 2021 specifically as a holiday rental, this 4,400 sq. ft. Lake Michigan home was designed from the ground up for large families and groups. From the heated saltwater pool and hot tub to two kitchens, two laundry rooms and endless Lake Michigan views, Blue Waters Edge has something for everyone.

HEATED SALTWATER POOL

Pool heat is included at no extra charge!

Enjoy an 85°F heated saltwater pool from mid-May through October 31. There is nothing quite like swimming in warm water on a cool September or October day while overlooking Lake Michigan from the bluff.

We have two pool heaters and can adjust the pool temperature warmer or cooler upon request at no additional charge.

The pool area also features:

* Heated outdoor shower
* Poolside natural-gas fire table
* Lake Michigan views
* Plenty of patio and deck space for relaxing in the sun

HOT TUB

Our Hot Spring hot tub is kept around 101–104°F and features two built-in massage seats and a top-of-the-line filtration system.

One of our favourite times to use it is at night. Relax under the stars, listen to the Lake Michigan waves, and watch the illuminated freighters travelling in and out of Ludington harbour.

AMAZING LAKE MICHIGAN VIEWS

Blue Waters Edge sits high on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan, creating incredible panoramic views.

Four of the six bedrooms have pool and/or lake views.

The large covered lakeside porch has comfortable outdoor furniture where you can enjoy the view while keeping an eye on the kids in the pool. Prefer the sun? There is plenty of open deck and poolside patio space as well.

You may even find yourself looking down at seagulls and the occasional soaring bald eagle. There is a bald eagle nest just a couple of houses south of Blue Waters Edge.

PRIVATE LAKE MICHIGAN BEACH

Enjoy 107 feet of private Lake Michigan beach frontage.

At the beach you'll find:

* 6 chaise loungers
* 2 kayaks
* 2 stand-up paddleboards
* Approximately 1½ miles of beach to explore

Take a walk along the shoreline, paddle Lake Michigan, or hunt for Petoskey stones—we've found them here!

**Important:** Blue Waters Edge sits on a high bluff. Reaching our private beach requires approximately 100 steps plus a trail, and the return trip uphill can take around 10 minutes. For guests who don't want to make the climb, the heated saltwater pool provides an easier way to enjoy the water and Lake Michigan views.

TWO FULL KITCHENS

Large groups need space!

Blue Waters Edge has two fully equipped kitchens one on the main level and another on the pool level. That means plenty of cooking space and, just as importantly, lots of refrigerator space for food and drinks.

## NEVER RUN OUT OF HOT WATER

Two tankless hot-water heaters provide enough capacity to run up to four showers simultaneously without running out of hot water—an important feature when travelling with a large group.

TWO LAUNDRY ROOMS

There are two laundry areas:

* Main level
* Pool level

No hauling everyone's towels and clothes through the entire house.

WHOLE-HOUSE BACKUP POWER

Blue Waters Edge has two automatic whole-house generators.

If the power goes out, the generators automatically start so a Michigan storm doesn't have to interrupt your holiday.

EV CHARGING

An EV charger is located in the garage so you can recharge your vehicle during your stay.

NEARBY PUBLIC BEACHES

Our private beach is beautiful, but the bluff stairs aren't for everyone. If you prefer an easy-access or drive-up beach, there are several excellent options nearby:

Buttersville Park – Just down the road, with a smaller public beach.

Stearns Park Beach – About 15 minutes away in city centre Ludington. A large public beach with accessible walkways and an easy stop for lunch, shopping or ice cream.

Ludington State Park – One of Michigan's premier state parks, with more than 5,000 acres of dunes, beaches, trails and the Big Sable Point Lighthouse.

LOCATION

Blue Waters Edge is conveniently located between Ludington and Pentwater—approximately 15 minutes from each—so you can enjoy both communities during your stay.

Mason County Picnic Area is directly across the street. Play the disc golf course, explore the trails, or hike to the top of the lookout tower.

FAST FIBER-OPTIC WIFI

Stay connected with fast fiber-optic internet from Great Lakes Energy, with speeds of 100+ Mbps.

Whether you're streaming films, connecting multiple devices, or need to get some work done during your stay, the house has fast, reliable Wi-Fi throughout.

MADE FOR GROUP VACATIONS

Blue Waters Edge wasn't simply converted into a holiday rental—it was designed and built to be one.

From the two kitchens and two laundry rooms to abundant hot water, backup generators, heated pool, hot tub, private beach and large gathering spaces, the house was created to make holidays with family and friends easier and more enjoyable.

We would love to have your group experience Blue Waters Edge and Lake Michigan.

Our family loved our 3 night stay at Blue Waters Edge! House was clean and well equipped!! Kids and grandkids had a great time at the pool. Being able to play around in Lake Michigan was also a plus. I'd give this home 10 stars if I could! We hope to go back again! Only wish there were more opportunities for a 3 night rental in the summer.

The house was clean and in very good shape. The kitchen was very well equipped. The dual washers and dryers were a great help for our group . The pool was clean and water temperature perfect. The views of Lake Michigan were absolutely spectacular!The hike down to the beach was too challenging for my wife and I ( we are in our 70’s) but most of our other family members made it down. As an alternative , we visited the beach at Ludington State Park which was well worth the 30 minute drive north. Thank you Naomi and Shawn

We had such a wonderful stay. The house, the view, the beach were above our expectations. The pool was so warm (we were early in the season and the weather was a bit cool) the kids swam for hours. They have thought of everything! There are games, firewood, pool toys, beach toys, more than enough towles. We didn't want for anything in the kitchen or bar. If I had to be critical, add blackout curtains. We would 100% rent again.

A beautiful home! They truly have thought of everything you could ever need for a great stay. We all decided to come back next year! The kids had a blast with all the toys, video games, and the pool! We spent several afternoons at the beach..kayaking, playing beach games, making sand castles and splashing in the gentle waves and soft sand. We took daily walks, played Frisbee golf, took kids to the playground and walked around the reservoir. All right across the street! We also went fishing, boating on Hamlin lake, dune buggy ride, mini golf. Luddington is a great town!! We ate most meals at the house. It is just too hard to get our large group with small kids a good experience eating out. Shawn and Naomi were excellent hosts. Easy check in and out. Great communication, and helpful with planning outings. Good Job!! See you next summer!!
