They are located on Lake Macatawa, on Ottawa Beach Road, just across from the campground for RVs and next to a small little beach. We got to the boathouse right about as it opened at 10am, and only waited a few minutes to get service, due to the large group ahead of us that was being helped. They went out in single and double kayaks, which it looked like there were plenty of at the time. No reservations were required, and we didn't make any, so I was glad to see so much equipment there. We asked for paddleboards and got a basic tutorial on their use after we mentioned we had only tried to paddleboard once before. We were asked how long we wanted the boards for, and when we responded about an hour, a beautiful route was suggested to us, and we were told it would be about an hour there and back at a leisurely pace. She was right - we hit the time mark pretty true, and the way there and back was so pretty on a pretty calm lake. The employee asked if we wanted her to put our car keys, wallets, etc. in a lockbox she had at the boathouse, so we wouldn't have to worry about them, which I thought was really nice. She also told us the parking in the lot next to the boathouse would require a beach parking pass, but there are two spots available for patrons (if you can snag them), or there's free 3 hour parallel parking on Ottawa Beach Road. Our total cost was $40 for two one hour paddleboard rentals, which was pretty reasonable and a fun way to spend a morning. Do visit Macatawa Boat House to rent paddleboards or kayaks if you're in Holland. We had a great experience.

My favorite beach in Michigan…read more I've been to: Douglas Beach (wonderful neighborhood beach nearby) West Side County Beach (a bit south of Oval and lots of rocks to collect) as well as North and South Beach in South Haven, and a few other neighborhood ones there. Oval wins for me for a lot of reasons. Great, abundant parking ($15 per car for the day, $75 for the season as of 2026). Good restrooms, snack bar, but most importantly, lots of space on the beach to spread out and enjoy. Vibes are immaculate here. We had several days on our trip where this was it. We set up a beach tent, packed sandwiches, and had a blast. The waves were big a few days which I thoroughly enjoyed. It's kind of a roll of the dice whether the water is fine or a bit too chilly, but it's fun nevertheless. So, to sum it all up. SUN. WAVES. EASY. BEAUTIFUL. I will dream of the time spent here, especially come mid-February when we'd give nearly anything for a nice weather day.

Oval Beach is STUNNING and I'd love to give it 5 stars, but two things keep me from doing that…read more Primarily this is because the beach is not totally accessible to all visitors. We came here with my mother and she has MS, which affects her legs. The only way down to the beach were fairly steep sand dune paths that were incredibly difficult for even able bodied individuals to navigate. We tried finding stairs but came up empty, so that's a big deterrent here. The other is a more petty one, but it's parking. There seems to be a great amount of parking available here, especially on weekdays BUT it comes at a cost of $15, which seems more than we paid at other beaches. The beach itself is crisp and clean, with beautiful sand and shoreline, and some of the cleanest water we saw while on our visit to the lake. As a family with kids, this would be a great beach to visit, but you do need to factor in the difficulties of getting down to it, especially with your groups ability level and your beach gear in tow.

Skip and Mark at Kayak-Kayak were so easy to work with and very informative right from the start. From our very first phone call all of our questions were answered and great recommendations were given to us based on the age and size of our party. We kayaked the Pigeon River in Holland. The drop off point was very easy to find and Mark was already waiting for us even as we arrived 10 minutes early. Mark told us all about the wildlife we could potentially see and the approximate locations on the river. We finished up a little earlier than planned and when we returned to the drop off point Mark was already there waiting for us. Skip and Mark were both so friendly and just awesome to work with. We would definitely rent from them again and we would recommend them to anyone. It was a super fun day! read more

As part of our summer vacations to Western Michigan, our family has rented kayaks and SUPs from Kayak-Kayak for several years, and look forward to doing so for many more! Skip and Mark at Kayak-Kayak are easy to work with, provide great customer service, extremely fair pricing, and have top-notch kayaks and SUPs. The folks at Kayak-Kayak also have a ton of information about kayaking in Michigan, and are always ready to share their expertise. Enjoying the kayaks and SUPs during our time in Michigan has become a key part of our family vacations, and we truly appreciate Skip and Mark making the rental process so easy each year. read more

Skip and Mark with Kayak Kayak were fantastic! They were able to squeeze our party of 7 in on short notice. They were super knowledgeable about all things Holland, gave great recommendations about where to eat and things to do in town. Mark told us all we needed to know about the river and were to see wildlife. Our family had a GREAT time! Use Kayak Kayak if floating in Holland, Michigan! read more

Skip was so sweet and accommodating, and made sure he went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time! He even gave us recommendations for restaurants/bars in the area for us to go to afterwards. Beautiful scenery as well. Will definitely do this again! read more

Our charter was 6 hours and he made the most out of it, and he was constantly checking fishing reports and water temp to give us the best chance of success. Whenever I decide to do this again I promise I won't go anywhere else because I had such a good time and this has been one of the best fishing experience I've ever had. I strongly recommend Salmon wagon and hope to get back out on the lake next season. I also recommend you use the bathroom before going on the lake because the toilet on board is not much good for anything other than going #1.
