Description Description
Welcome to Lake Affect, a beautiful home and guest house offered by Third Coast Vacations, a full-service vacation rental company run by locals who love Harbor Country.   
Welcome to your new favorite vacation home in Union Pier! This spacious lakeshore home is just 950 feet from the sandy shores of Lake Michigan at Center Beach! This beautifully designed getaway is set up to help you and your group make the most of our idyllic Michigan summers.
Step inside the spacious main house, where the open-concept living area is bright, beautifully furnished, and set up for relaxation. Whether you’re enjoying a nap after a day at the beach or gathering with friends and family, the main living space is perfect for connection. The large, fully equipped kitchen is ready for anything, whether you're prepping a large breakfast before heading to the beach or mixing up cocktails for a laid-back evening.
With three thoughtfully designed bedrooms, there's plenty of room for everyone. The primary bedroom features a plush king bed, perfect for unwinding. A second bedroom offers a cozy queen bed, and the third is a fun, versatile space with a pyramid bunk—great for kids or extra guests. Two spacious bathrooms with stunning custom tile work add a luxurious touch, making sure everyone has room to rinse off or recharge.
Outside, the home continues to impress. The huge front porch is the perfect spot to sip coffee in the morning or enjoy a meal al fresco. After catching a beautiful sunset at the lake, gather around the fire pit out front, where stories, s’mores, and stargazing await.
Need a little extra space? The separate guest house is a charming private escape with its own cozy kitchen, full bathroom, and a comfy queen bedroom. Whether you’re hosting friends, family, or just want a little extra privacy, this space is a gem.

House was in a great location, very easy to find.
Sarah - Posted: 1/7/2026
Sarah, thanks for staying with us. We hope you enjoyed bringing in 2026 in our area! Please do come back when weather is warmer. The outdoor space of the house is great and the home is so close to Center Avenue beach. But it's a quick walk to Black Currant bakery for some goodies. Thanks again.

This house was perfect! The pictures don't even do it justice. It was beautiful. Very cozy and perfect for our family.

This was the perfect place for our family getaway for thanksgiving! We all had the perfect amount of space and enjoyed hanging out by the fire and in the living room and kitchen. The guest house was also a perfect addition for our visit. Third Coast Vacations was also extremely responsive when we needed something (even on a holiday). Thank you!

We loved it! Had my bachelorette party here and it was so wonderful. The house is darling and the shed is so well stocked! The deck and Adirondack chair circles were perfect outdoor hang out spots and the outdoor shower was amazing. Short walk to the beach through the beautiful tree-lined neighborhood - what could be better?!

A beautiful home with everything needed inside. The short walk, to a very nice and not crowded beach was the best part of our trip. Also walking distance are a bakery, gelato shop, corner store and restaurant, that are all very good. We did have a slight issue during check-in but someone from Third Coast was there very quickly to resolve the issue.

A Wonderful Family Vacation
My wife and our two children and their spouses and our two grandchildren had a great time here. This house is an easy walk to the beach, coffee shops, a gelato place and more. We all agreed we want to come back next year!
