Ready to take your Michigan beach vacation up a notch? Let Bluefish help transform your luxury home rental into an unforgettable beach vacation experience. 

Arrive at a Fully-Stocked Home

The first step to kicking off an easy breezy vacation is to clear your to-do list before you arrive. Let Bluefish stock your fridge and pantry with everything you need and want, including breakfast essentials, fresh organic produce, and locally made wines and ciders. Beach life is the best life, and it’s even better when all the gear you need is waiting just outside your back door. Bluefish can deliver all your favorite watersports equipment — chairs, umbrellas, stand-up paddle boards, kayaks, and more — removing all the hassle of finding and lugging gear to your home and making it easy for you to hit the beach as soon as you arrive.

Get Out on the Waters of Lake Michigan

For a totally unique perspective of Lake Michigan, nothing beats the views and the thrills from the water. Try a fishing charter or private sunset cruise, which Bluefish can coordinate with the best captains and boat providers from the New Buffalo Harbor. Beach vacations are also the perfect time to take on a new water sport. For another must-do adventure during your Lake Michigan vacation rental, let Bluefish introduce you to one of the best wave riders in the region. Then try an electric foil board or wing foiling lesson, which will have you gliding above water on a surfboard-like board mounted with a hydrofoil.

Tee Up the Kids for Summer Adventure

If you’re looking for new ways to entertain the kids, Bluefish can point you to the best summer camps in Harbor Country. Favorite daily and weekly camps range in activities from surfing and beach sports to gardening at an organic farm, taught by experts who put safety first. Let the kids tell you all about it over s’mores around a campfire — Bluefish can deliver all the gourmet ingredients or set you up with a beachside bonfire to end the day under the stars. It’s just one more reason why Michigan beach vacations are filled with memorable family moments.

Celebrate with Family and Friends

For milestone celebrations and family reunions, Bluefish has a few more tricks up their sleeves. Imagine a surprise party complete with decorations and a meal served by a private chef, awaiting you in your rental home. Planning a big family gathering? They can also help to arrange a full-blown beach party with a bonfire, comfy seating, beverages on ice, and a picnic. Whatever you’re celebrating, Southwest Michigan’s beaches provide the kind of backdrop that turns great vacation memories into legendary ones.

Unwind at Home with Your Michigan Beach Rental

Sunrise yoga, anyone? Bluefish can arrange a relaxing session at the beach or on your private deck, offering you the perfect way to begin your day in a peaceful setting. Dying for a massage? Bluefish can bring that to you as well, as part of a suite of massage and med spa services, including facials and vitamin injections, which can all be performed in the comfort of your home. While it’s always a treat to visit the surrounding wineries, Bluefish can also arrange for a guided, in-home tasting of local wines for you and your private group, led by a local wine professional.
