The location was great for where we needed to be. The host was friendly and responded in a timely matter. The place was very cute and clean. Lots of space, and we loved just sitting and chilling by the river! Thanks so much for letting us stay!

It’s not a two bedroom. It only sleeps three. It’s more of a studio apartment with no doors. It is clean, nicely decorated and bright. The outdoor space is beautiful.

We had a great time! Arrived late and found the property. Thankfully it was a well marked property and looks like the pictures! Make sure to take screenshots of the directions as you lose service as you approach the location so you have all the info you need to find house and get inside

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so glad to hear you had a great time and that the property met your expectations. It’s always a relief when everything looks just like the photos—and I appreciate the helpful tip about taking screenshots of the directions ahead of time due to limited service in the area. That will definitely help future guests! Thanks again for choosing to stay with us, and we hope to host you again in the future!

Physically Comfortable But Awkward

The unit is a converted garage next to the owners home. It had everything we needed inside to be comfortable, but the owner was on site and that made it awkward; because of that we did not feel comfortable using the back yard at all. Also, I had to come out early one day to move our car in my frickin pajamas because I didn't know the owners car was in the adjacent garage. We picked Vrbo because we thought they prevented on-site owners. Also, note that there is a cliff on the river, preventing access to it for tubing or kayaking, and the outdoor furniture was heavily stained and dirty.

Thank you for your feedback and for staying with us. I’m glad to hear the unit had everything you needed to feel comfortable during your visit. I'm sorry to hear that parts of your experience felt awkward. Just to clarify for future guests: the unit is a standalone converted garage, not attached to our home. I mentioned in the welcome message that I’d be on-site and available if anything came up—I aim to be helpful, never intrusive. When I knocked that morning, it was simply to ask about moving the car to ensure smooth parking, as there is ample parking available on the property. Regarding river access, there is direct access to the river at the northeast corner of the property. We’ll be sure to highlight that more clearly for future guests. I also appreciate your note about the outdoor furniture and will address that promptly. Thanks again for your feedback and for helping us improve.

So Upset! We left!

I spent a lot of time researching places to stay near family. We are elderly, there was no mention of no cell service or wifi. Only way we found VRBO, we had address. It's way out in the country. There was no instructions how to access wifi. I suggested to host how important that is. She said she would leave in future. We left as family, wouldn't be able to find us. We barely found our way out of there, as no gps service. I'm sure property ok for some families. Oh, in the photo's online, it appears, apt could be part of house. It's actually part of the garage. She could have also told us, she was home and could help us. I have been happy with other VRBO properties in the past. I wanted to do VRBO, cause I think hotels are boring. I wanted to be by the Muskegon River. The grass wasn't even mowed, difficult to walk to River. Actually it was beautiful there. Sorry, we were disappointed. Sincerely, Sandy & George Yates

Dear Sandy & George, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations and that aspects of the experience caused you stress—especially while visiting family and looking for a peaceful getaway. I want to sincerely apologize for the confusion about WiFi and cell service. Sunset Shores is intentionally set in a quiet, rural location along the Muskegon River to offer guests a chance to disconnect—but I fully recognize how important it is to clearly communicate those details ahead of time. I’ve already updated the listing to note the limited cell service and provide detailed WiFi access instructions prior to check-in, as you thoughtfully suggested. Thank you also for the note on the property's layout and maintenance. The guest suite is attached to the garage but fully private, and I’ll be sure to make that clearer in both photos and descriptions. Regarding the yard, we've since scheduled more frequent mowing to ensure a comfortable path to the river for all guests. While I was home during your stay and happy to assist, I now see the importance of proactively offering that support rather than waiting to be asked. I'm truly sorry you left feeling disappointed—I take that to heart. I appreciate your honest review and hope your next VRBO stay brings the experience you were hoping for. Warmly, Tennille Host, Sunset Shores
