We had a wonderful stay! Beds were comfortable, lots of “extras” (coffee pods, beach towels, games etc), great outdoor area, quick drive to the beach and the host was so friendly and easy to communicate with.
We loved our stay!!!!Very clean house, well equipped with daily essentials, comfortable beds, very nice (fenced in) backyard, and great communication with Brenda! Only a few minutes to Lake Michigan!

Outstanding host, a beautiful home in a great location. The host is quick to respond, kind, and really thinks of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. I would 100% book again in the future.
We had never been to Michigan before. This home was super clean and cute! The host had it stocked up for us and she made our stay so easy and pleasant. It was very close to the beach and downtown restaurants.
We have stayed at this property before. Perfect location, size and yard for us and our dogs. Host is great to work with and has everything needed on arrival.

Thank you for staying at our home I am glad you enjoyed it. it is one of our homes that we just redid and I had fun putting this one together. Hope you found your stay comfortable and I hope you went to the beach or ate one of the local places near by. if you come to Muskegon again hope you will look us up again.
House is in nice shape. Great back yard. Not quickly walkable to the beach, but a short drive. Would be nice to have some beach chairs available. Overall a nice stay!
