About this property

THE CHUNKY MONKEY COTTAGE DUNE VACATION IN SILVER LAKE MICHIGAN 3BED/2BATH

Your family will love staying at the Chunky Monkey. 3 bedrooms 2 full baths/firepit/washer dryer/WiFi and all the Amenities that the beautiful Flora Dale Association has to offer! There is entertainment for the whole family! Access to the private pool, basketball/tennis courts/private beach and much more. While the little guys are swimming and playing tether-ball dad and boys can and enjoy the motorsports action at the Silver Lake Sand Dunes! When you are ready to settle for the evening everyone can have it there way with the 55" flat screen in the living room and 32" flat screens in each bedroom.
2010 UPDATE!!!
The Chunky Monkey has been upgraded! The Master Bedroom size has been nearly doubled and now includes a king-size bed and its own entrance to the exterior. A full custom bath has been also added with Jacuzzi slipper tub, walk in Glass Block shower and vessel style sink with waterfall style faucet. We still have a couple of weeks left if you want to experience a cute cottage with some luxurious amenities. Oh did I forget to mention the new gas fired tankless hotwater heater that provides UNLIMITED hotwater 😋

Perfect getaway for the family
Beautiful home and lovely neighborhood made for a great vacation for our family. The master suite was a perfect place to retire after a day spent with the extended family, with room to relax, soak in the tub, and wind down. Close to all the fun of silver lake but tucked away in floradale made this the best quiet spot we’ve booked over many years coming to the area. Overall, a perfect booking! It’ll be the first place I check for availability when it’s time to return.

We had a great time on our family vacation! Our host was very detailed in the cottage description and we had everything we needed! It was very clean and we had plenty of space. We would love to vacation at the Chunky Monkey in the future!

Great place, great area.
Love Floradale and the whole upper area of that facility. Feels super classy! The house was well set up and the kids loved the TVs and Roku boxes to relax after a day in the dunes. Driveway was enough for a truck and trailer and neighbors were very friendly.
