Waterfront vacation rentals in Mason County

Great place to stay for a few days in Ludington! It was within 15 minutes of walking downtown and right across from Stearns Beach. We loved watching the sunset every night.

Great place. The price is just fine. I'd like the heater a little bit hotter, but... the same happens in all motels. I would return.

Great area of town, walkable to beach and restaurants.

We had a good stay. Nice location for walking downtown

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here! It was the perfect amount of space and the outdoor amenities were great. We had bonfires in the evenings and made wonderful memories.

Perfect fit for us. Beach & Park across the street. Walked to town for dinner @ Hamlin Restaurant, only place to eat on Sunday evening, exceptional food. Early in May 2025 cool winds but a sunny 2 days. Got a super picture of the sunset across the street from our room. Chairs outside our room, benches & picnic tables to enjoy the outdoors, friendly people walking & look @ the stars on a clear night.

Ben was very responsive to my e mails the price was great and room very clean. nice experience thanks Ben

Great location. Within walking distance to the beach and downtown.

If you’re looking to get away from it all, this is the perfect opportunity. This cottage will allow you to enjoy a no stress vacation. We had 7 over 60 women in in our group. It is a large place with tons of beds. All stairs had railings on them. Bathrooms did not have railings which made it difficult for some of us. Also there was no outside lighting which made it difficult for some of us. The lake was nice to swim in and the large umbrella near the beach was very nice to have. We enjoyed a beautiful campfire. Al in all it’s a perfect place for a vacation but might need a few tweaks for seniors 😀

We love it at Vacation Lane and this house is perfect for our large family!

A great home with a beautiful backyard. I will definitely be checking this place out again when I come back to Ludington.

Lovely place on the bayou. Great amenities from outdoor recreation gear like kayaks, paddle boat, fishing poles, and fire pit to washer/dryer and kitchen with all the utensils you'd need. Clean and well taken care of.

The views from the house were absolutely gorgeous!!! Will stay here again.

David’s rental was the perfect place for our yearly family vacation, consisting of 7 adults and 3 children. The house was as described. It was very clean, and everything was in excellent condition. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to make meals. I especially liked how large the fridge was. Three bathrooms were great to have with a large group. We spent a lot of time at the beach, playing and canoeing. Whenever I had a question, David answered promptly. He even offered to mail something to me that was left behind when we left. I could tell David and his wife took pride in their house. If you’re thinking of renting there, don’t hesitate. You won’t regret it!

We had an absolute blast staying at "In The Woods"! It exceeded all our expectations—honestly, the pictures don’t quite capture how amazing it is. The property offered perfect privacy, and both the interior and exterior were fantastic. Just a quick heads-up for anyone towing a trailer: the dirt roads leading in can be a bit bumpy and slow. Other than that, everything was perfect, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice.

Beautiful home in a convenient location in Ludington with ample parking and amenities. The host is extremely responsive and helped us replace a hot water heater almost immediately when we reported a problem. Highly recommend checking this place out!

Melissa and her team deliver an unforgettable experience. The complex is spotless, well maintained and modern, but this unit in particular has incredible charm. Abundance of natural light, adorable decor and every amenity you could imagine. Beautiful, well appointed and stocked kitchen and baths. Beyond the property itself, I can’t say enough positive things about the hosts. From day one I felt like I was welcomed to Ludington with open arms and given a wealth of information about the town. Every question I had was answered within minutes regardless of the time, and with the most friendly disposition. I feel like I’ve known the hosts for a lifetime, they are folks who CARE! Their hospitality shines through every conscientious decision they make, and every interaction with their guests. Saying goodbye to this condo was hard, I’ve never felt more “home” anywhere in my life. My time in this rental was so wonderful, I decided to move to the area. You will love your time here in Ludington!

Great stay. Melissa was wonderful and always available. Condo was clean and in a great location. This is our 8th year renting a condo in Ludington from Melissa :)

Excellent stay for our family. We try to visit family in Ludington on the Fourth of July every so often and this was a wonderful location. Rachel and the co-hosts were very responsive. Our family had a wonderful stay and from our experience in the area I can say that it was good value as well as Ludington gets very over priced and crowded on the Fourth of July, whereas Hamlin is more peaceful and comfortable. The condo was spacious and nicely furnished. It’s a little hard to get a three level to be the most comfortable temperature for everyone but that is just a problem for any three level structure. Plenty of kayaks and paddle boards for amusement and the teepee with the fire pit was nice as well. We would happily stay again if they would have us.

Ludington Explorer was very comfortable, clean, and located in a beautiful location. We enjoyed watching the Badger go out from the living room windows and balcony, and the views of the marina. The hosts have thought of everything. There was a Keurig with k-cups, beach chairs and towels for guest use, and lots of other little details. The unit was as pictured and described. We had a great time. Would stay again!

We absolutely loved our stay at this place! The hosts were extremely responsive and helpful. Everything was super simple with the check-in and the place was just as advertised with beautiful views of the water and the Badger. We have already asked if we could come back another time next summer! Easy walk to the lake and downtown. We loved it!

We loved our stay!! Melissa came to meet us and was so kind. Communication was amazing! The staff are very friendly and helpful. I grew up going to Ludington in the summer and this was our first time staying at Lakeside. We will definitely stay there again. Wonderful location with walkable distance to several restaurants, parks/playgrounds, beach and several other activities!!

Melissa was easy to work with, toured us thru the condo on arrival (helpful) and friendly. Condo had a beautiful view and very walkable to just about everything. Would recommend to others and definitely stay again if in the area.

Easy registration; unit as simple to enter as home; host and co-hosts friendly and neighborly; unit as shown if not better; well stocked for preparing and cooking; nice beds and bathrooms; wood floors throughout; nice windows with lake view; nice and serene grounds with best kayak launch I have ever seen - anyone could get in and kayak - seriously. I would easily recommend to a friend without reservation.
