Absolutely an amazing place to stay… Plenty of things to do for children inside the home comfortable beds comfortable everything. Well stocked, well organized, well equipped for pets if you decide to bring your per. Everything was thought of and then something… I felt like I was at home. The backyard is phenomenal and the location is excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We were in Muskegon for a wedding. The home was near the venue, with the added bonus of being near the lake. Plus they made it extra-welcoming for the dogs!
Perfect for my family and dogs. Especially loved the fenced in, lovely back yard. Brenda was wonderful and will we definitely hope to stay here again on our next visit
Clean, quiet and had literally everything we needed to make us feel right at home while on vacation. The fenced in yard was perfect sor our pup to enjoy the getaway too!
We had a wonderful stay! Close proximity to beautiful beaches, including a dog beach! Plenty of things to do in the area, Michigan Adventure was within 20 minutes of the house.
We had a great family vacation staying at this place. Great location to enjoy all there is in Muskegon. Easy check in, great communication with Brenda, well stocked home that made it feel like home. Comfy beds, two living spaces for family fun, a nice yard, and walkable to a favorite ice cream spot. We’d definitely stay here again!
Was very nice home. Clean and comfortable inside and out. Had everything you could possibly need. We came for beach time, Pier Marquette beach nearby and the Coast Guard Festival in Grand Haven. We had a terrific time and would come back and stay here again.
Nicely updated interior, comfortable furniture, large fenced in yard for our dog, very clean and located in a quiet, established neighborhood. Brenda Harris is quick to respond to messages and provides detailed information regarding the surrounding area. Overall, very impressed.
Cute beach side property located close to the beach and downtown Muskegon. The house was perfect for our family of 6 adults and two little ones. It was very clean and had a nice fenced in backyard for the children to run and play. The house was well stocked with everything that you would need. The photos of the property are accurate. We would highly recommend this place as a great place to stay!
Everything was as advertised, every question I asked was answered quickly. The house is small but the space is utilized so well. 4 adults and two children had a lovely stay. Brenda had toys for the kids, puzzles, the second TV in the basement was a godsend. Proximity to the lake and Frosty cove was amazing.
This location was described 100% accurate. My family and I were extremely satisfied with the home, communication with the host and location. From pulling into the driveway, entering the home and claiming our spaces every detail had been thought out. Home is well stocked in the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and very clean!
The property is located within 5-10 minute drive to multiple Lake Michigan beaches, including a dog friendly beach. It's also a short drive to the city social district. The owners include many amenities and thoughtful touches for your pet, from a fenced yard to furniture covers.
As others have noted, the stairs are steeper than what is common in newer homes. The stairways also do not have doors, so you should consider bringing gates if you're concerned about your pet or little one trying to climb.
Overall, we had a great stay, the owner was very friendly and provided all the information we needed. It was nice to be so close to so many attracitions.
Couldn’t have been happier with our booking. It’s a smaller house but they made the most of the space. Great patio, nice yard and a fire pit to just sit back and relax after a day at the beach. The upstairs is spacious and has a nice little area in the basement with beds, couch and tv for kids to just hand out in.It had everything you needed plus more. If you forgot any bathroom items, no worry they have it waiting for you. Kitchen had everything you would need and they even leave a basket of snacks. Everything is labeled as well. You literally could just pack your clothes and food and they have everything else supplied. Couldn’t have asked for a better place near the beach.Everyone enjoyed this place. Would definitely book again.
This home was a dream come true. Everything was exactly as stated in the information that had been provided and more. There really wasn't a need for much. Everything from Pots and pans (doors were labeled with items) to personal hygiene products for both genders. They ever had an array of snack foods and a kennel for our dog if we decided to go out without him. If and when I had a problem, I just texted, and it was answered immediately! Very friendly, hosts. Actually, met them when they stopped by to make sure that the trash was out for in time for pick up. would I stay there again if I was in the area! You bet!
Clean, comfortable and quiet location to enjoy visiting the western coast of Michigan. Quick drive to the beach, dog park, downtown Muskegon restaurants and attractions. The fenced yard was great for our dog to spent time outside with us while we enjoyed the patio and fire pit.Would definitely recommend staying here again.
The amenities were great! The owner thought of everything, which especially came in handy when the 2 men in our group both forgot to bring their razors and found a disposable one and some shaving cream in the bathroom that they could use!
Brenda thought about all the small details and it was very much appreciated. There were extra blankets, pillows, toiletries. House was very clean and a great location.
