Captain's Watch is a charming vacation rental situated directly on Lake Michigan. The home is nestled high on the sand dunes of northern Lake Michigan and sits on 3.5 acres that offers total seclusion from neighbors. Walk down along the sand dunes to your own private swimming area, which sits at the end of 7 miles of sugary sandy beach. It's an ideal spot for couples, families, or groups seeking a serene getaway with breathtaking views of sand dunes and water. Nearby attractions include the Fayette State Park & Historic Town Site, just 50 minutes away, the Indian Lake Golf Course, a 22-minute drive, Kewadin Casino, only 8 minutes away, and Kitch-iti-kipi, located 29 minutes from the property. Whether you're looking to enjoy some quiet time by the lake or engage in fun activities around, Captain's Watch provides a perfect setting for a memorable vacation
