Searching the West Michigan lakeshore

The lakeshore is not one town. Holland, Grand Haven, Saugatuck, Spring Lake, and Muskegon each feel different — we help you pick the stretch that matches how you live.

Some buyers want sand and sunsets. Others want a year-round town with a grocery store and a school calendar. Those are different searches, and we treat them that way.

We also cover inland lakes and channel properties that still sit in the lakeshore lifestyle without sitting on Lake Michigan itself.

  1. Town-by-town

    We compare Holland, Grand Haven, Saugatuck, Spring Lake, and Muskegon instead of treating the coast as one market.

  2. Cottage vs primary

    Construction, insulation, and access matter if you will live there in January.

  3. Practical water questions

    Insurance, erosion, and maintenance come up before you write an offer — not after.

  4. One point of contact

    Kippy Ellis Group coordinates the search so you are not bouncing between offices.

Kippy Ellis sold our commercial property, and she earned every bit of the outcome. Commercial isn't a quick, easy sale — it takes patience and a realtor who keeps the momentum going. Kippy worked through a long list of interested buyers, coordinated showing after showing, and fielded several bids along the way without ever letting things stall. Her persistence paid off: we ended up with two offers on the same day and sold for over asking price. Communication was steady the whole way through, and she never let a lead go cold. If you're selling commercial property on the lakeshore, Kippy is who you want representing you.

Holland, Grand Haven, Saugatuck and Douglas, Spring Lake, Muskegon, and nearby coastal communities along this stretch of Lake Michigan.

Should I start with waterfront or with a town?

If the water is non-negotiable, start on our waterfront page. If you care more about a year-round downtown, start with that city page and add water as a filter.

Do you help out-of-state buyers?

Yes. We plan video walkthroughs and a condensed in-person trip so travel days are used well.
