Step inside this creative and inspiring home located in the much sought after sand dunes on the shores of Lake Michigan and Pere Marquette Beach in Muskegon. This cottage is just a 5 minute walk to the city beach, minutes from the Muskegon Lake boat launch and a two minute walk from Muskegon Country Club and Lake Bluff Grill. A local park with play set, sledding hills and pickle ball courts are just .3 miles. A wagon, beach chair, beach towels and an umbrella are provided to help you enjoy your day in the sun.

WHAT GUESTS ARE SAYING "GREAT house! Exactly as described and well appointed with everything you should need to have a great time. SO close to the water, just a short walk away. We would definitely stay again" Robert D.
INSIDE This retreat has been thoughtfully designed with a nod to its mid-century heritage. Three main-floor bedrooms offer convenience and accessibility. The primary bedroom features a king bed and flat-screen TV. The second bedroom has a queen bed and flat screen TV and the third has two twins. A full, shared bath rounds out the main level sleeping area. The large, sunny living room with a roomy sectional opens to two dining areas accommodating up to eight guests for family dinners or casual brunch. Sliders to the attached deck lead to a lovely wooded lot and additional outdoor dining space with a gas grill and fire pit.
The lower level is sure to be the favorite spot for all ages. Enjoy the cozy TV area with a flat-screen and set up your own tournament on the full-sized pool table. An additional bedroom offers a twin daybed with a trundle, a hanging swing chair, and a workspace to catch up on emails while you are away. A full bath and laundry area complete the lower level.
THE LOCATION This cottage is very close to the bike path and bikes are provided for an easy 1.5-mile ride to Pere Marquette Beach on the sandy shores of Lake Michigan. From arts and entertainment to dining, shopping, and a huge farmer's market, downtown Muskegon doesn't disappoint. The possibilities are endless and whether you are looking for a relaxing beach vacation or prefer to wander and explore this location can't be beat.

REVIEWS "We were all agreed that the property exceeded our expectations for location near the lake, cleanliness, decor ( awesome Mid-century vibe), and supplies (incredibly well-equipped with above average items). We thoroughly enjoyed the big windows looking at a lovely treed and landscaped yard front and back plus a great pool table set-up in the lower level with a nice fire pit on the patio in back. We were supplied with lovely beach towels, water toys, beach chairs and bikes. This rental is a 10 out of 10!" Linda W.
"We were so impressed with this property the house was immaculate and decorated with so much detail. It was a great location to the beach. They had bikes, beach umbrellas, and plenty of beach towels. There was so much space. My teenager really enjoyed the pool table and campfires. They had great restaurant recommendations as well as other activities. You can tell the owners put a lot of thought into making this house the perfect rental for vacation. A great experience for our family to enjoy this beautiful area." Holly B.
"The Beachwood-Bluffton was an excellent choice to spend time by the lake. The beaches were just steps away. The property was super clean and had everything needed to enjoy our stay. The kids loved spending our nights by the fire pit making s'mores. Highly recommend this property for families." Jessica G.

We really enjoyed our stay. The property was clean and well-stocked. Check-in and check-out was simple. The home was a quick 10 minute walk to the beach, as well as a dog beach nearby. The home was spacious and the fire pit in the back was perfect for relaxing evenings. We definitely recommend this property!
Great property! Wonderful home! Cool furnishings! Close to Lake Michigan beach. Only critique is the house needed a bit of air freshening after what I think was time closed up since the last group was there. Would rent again.
The house was really nice and cute. The location was ideal. Our family could ride our bikes to the beach, parks and even a couple restaurants!

We stayed here for a family trip. We were able to easily walk to the park every day and walk to the beach. It was a great park and had pickle ball courts. There is also a great walking path. The wagon, chairs and umbrella that were provided were super helpful! The neighbor across the street,Dan, was so welcoming and helpful! Muskegon was great and we will for sure be back!

You’re paying for the location here which can’t be beat! The house is nice; everything is updated except the kitchen and main bathroom. Everything worked as expected. Great communication from the rental company with detailed instructions ahead of time and you can tell they make an effort with rolled towels and toiletries.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your stay at Boltwood Dunes, Linda! We're truly delighted to hear that our vacation rental exceeded your expectations in so many different aspects. Thank you for choosing Unsalted Vacations (BVW Property Management). We hope to host you again soon!
The house and neighborhood were great. It was very convenient for all we wanted to do, and the house was spotless and well-equipped. There were several relatively minor things I would like to be different: it took us three days to figure out where the garage door opener was in order to use the bikes stored there--it was in a front closet that we never thought to look in until we were looking for something else. I wish the location had been listed somewhere. The dryer did work well; but the noise when it was working (which they did tell us about) was quite unpleasant if we were in the house while it was running. And one night we would have liked to use the bathtub; but the stopper didn't block the drain enough to hold any depth of water. However, these are minor things overall, and we did really enjoy many features of the house,especially the back yard and the hammock!
