Recommendations for good vacation spot on Lake Michigan?

We are interested in vacationing this summer on a beach on Lake Michigan...preferably fairly close to the Indiana / Michigan border... We'll have five adults and two young children in our group, and we're interested in renting a cabin near the water for about a week or so...

On the internet, Chalet on the Lake in Stevensville, MI looks pretty interesting... So does the town of Holland, MI... Does anyone have any first-hand experience with either place?

Any other suggestions for places to check out, or to avoid?

Thank you!

    It's more of a ride, but I love the Traverse City area. It has Sleeping Bear Dunes. You can do the "dune climb" and if you're really energetic, you can do a 3.5 mile hike over dunes to Lake Michigan (and it's fun to run down them!!-carefully). You have to watch at the end, there's warning signs that if you go down, you have to get back up. I think it's a 600 foot dune, people look like ants from the top. There's also the Leelanau Peninsula, which is beautiful, Grand Traverse Bay is on the east side of it. It has alot of wineries on it, a very old lighthouse. If you're going in summer, the water is great, you can walk in waist high water for a long ways. I know it's alot farther than the Indiana border, but to me, it's well worth it. I've been there a couple times. Since you're going for a week or so, it would be great and less populated than the border area. Sleeping Bear Dunes also consist of 2 islands, North and South Manitou, you can take a ferry to South M. during the summer.

    Curacao is amazingly advantageous. even with the undeniable fact that it is area of the comparable chain as Aruba it has an extremely diverse ecosystem, greater effective snorkeling, and a great aquarium. It has advantageous seashores too. Lagun coastline is an magnificent one for snorkeling by using fact it is on a narrow bay often sheltered from the waves and currents. We observed a turtle purely some yards out from the coastline there. you should probable nevertheless visit Hawaii on a $3K value selection in case you do not stay at a 5-action picture star hotel. i don't understand the place you're flying from, yet i found fares as low as $372.ninety 9 to Maui from here in Phoenix, and there are condos for hire in Kihei that are extremely particularly priced.
