About the host

Hosted by Brenda

Host profile image
I love being a host because it allows me to bring each home to life and share the character of the community I live in. Being local, I have a deep connection to these homes and the Muskegon area. My husband and I are passionate about thoughtful design and creating spaces where guests can truly relax and feel at home. Every home is prepared with care, comfort, and a sense of belonging in mind.

Why they chose this property

The moment I saw this home, I knew I had to have it! The style was just so cool, and I could immediately picture all the ways to bring it to life. I’ve put so much love into making it a warm, fun, and inviting space—I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

What makes this property unique

This charming bungalow blends classic comfort with thoughtful updates that make it easy to settle in. With three spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms, the home offers plenty of room to relax and unwind. The dining area is ideal for gathering, while the cozy kitchen sitting space—complete with a well-loved coffee bar—is a favorite spot to start the day.

The backyard is a true highlight, offering a spacious, fully fenced area that’s perfect for dogs and outdoor relaxation. The patio and BBQ invite easy meals outside, and evenings around the fire pit make it simple to slow down and enjoy time together. Conveniently located near parks, bike paths, and just minutes from the beach, this home offers comfort, convenience, and a welcoming place to land during your stay.
