Fabulous stay!
Great location walkable to shops and right on the bike trail. The house is recently redone and would be a great place to bring young kids with the nicely redone basement. Super clean! All the amenities you might need in the kitchen and access to the garage with beach toys and chairs. Garage access was great to store our bikes. Host was so accommodating. Would stay again!

Wonderful stay - exceeded expectations!
Everything about this experience was great! From questions prior to booking to communication while we were there, Melinda was wonderful! The house itself has so many thoughtful small touches that make it feel incredibly welcoming and like home. When the description says the kitchen is fully stocked, it truly is... In a way I've never experienced with any other rental. We weren't traveling with a baby, but loved that not only was there a pack and play for guests to use, but even a little mattress and fitted sheets for it -- this would have been a dream when our kids were smaller! Thanks for a wonderful experience, we hope to visit again!

Attractive and comfortable house!
We checked in and found a tastefully decorated and well equipped house that proved to be very comfortable for our two day stay. Although we didn't cook, it appeared to have everything needed to cook and enjoy meals on site. The queen beds we're particularly comfortable. Even though the house is situated on a fairly busy street we did not notice any noise while sleeping. The neighborhood had several interesting stores and restaurants within a short walk. The beach area was a short drive from the house. Neither bedroom has a closet, so you will have to use a wall hook to hang clothes. I would recommend adding a small armoire to keep from having to leave suitcases out on the floor, but we managed in spite of not having one. The bunk area downstairs has four beds that would be great for kids, but it's somewhat unfinished, so probably not for adults if they expect the kind of nice accommodations you'll get upstairs. I would confidently recommend this house if you're coming to the area.

Nice spot near the lake
We had a wonderful stay with the family and our dog. The house was very clean and instructions on how to use everything was available in a binder. The host contacted us before our stay and made sure everything was set up and prepared. Also checked in with us to make sure we checked in and if we needed anything. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. The house is near the lake and the marina. Although we visited in the off season, it looks like it would be very lively and convenient. The fenced in yard was great for our dog and the walking/bike path behind the property winds around the lake shore for a good walk with the dog. Great place for donuts and morning sandwiches just a short walk away. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back when the weather is warmer and the boats are out!

We’ll be back!
This home is fabulous! The pictures do not do it justice. The host has thought of every possible need for your stay, including the furry family members. The yard is fenced so dogs can roam freely and sniff to their hearts content. We came back home to Muskegon for Thanksgiving to spend time with our kids and grandkids and everyone enjoyed the home. The 18 month old twins loved the soft blocks, 4 year old granddaughter played games with the older kids, the young adult’s hung out in the coffee/wine bar area and us older folks gathered around the dinner table. I discovered Christmas cookie cutters in one of the kitchen drawers so the day after Thanksgiving we made Christmas cookies! Our stay was perfect and I can’t wait to come back. This home will be our #1 choice for all of our stays from now on.

Comfortable & Convenient to Beach, Ferry & Marina
We enjoyed this well equipped home! It was a cute and newly remodeled home. It had all the needed amenities to cook and we enjoyed having a small fenced area for our dog. Just two blocks away is a great donut place and Safe Harbor marina. The bike bath behind the house makes it convenient to get to the beach! Two bedrooms on main level share a bath. Lower level space is a bonus for kids to play in and has a bath with shower.

This home was just as listed, furnished with everything you could need for staying in or headed for the beach. Cute area, walking distance to shops and dining. Lakeside Emporium was so cool, too many candy options for the kids and people were so kind. Dockside doughnuts was perfect for morning doughnuts and lattes. Would love to book again for our next beach adventure! Thanks for having us Melinda!

My first visit to Muskegon with my two teenage children & our dog. House was very clean & nice inside, all amenities available were listed including a dog crate - bonus points in our decision to select this home, and a nice little fenced yard.

Best Host and VRBO we've ever stayed in!
I've never given a 5 star rating to a VRBO home before now...My high expectations in communication and cleanliness were exceeded by this Host. From start to finish, the Host was very responsive, helpful, honest and she clearly takes pride in the excellent shape of the home. There wasn't a single detail missing - from the adorable bits of flare to the games for the kids to the best stocked kitchen we've ever rented - the host thought of everything! Any issues experienced were immediately responded to. This home was in the perfect location for experiening Muskegon - safe, within walking distance of the Marina, bars/food, live entertainment, amazing donuts, and a short drive to the beach. Even the home itself was nice to sit by the fire table, play cornhole in a fenced in area, and had all the things to make sure our pup was safe while we were out and about! We will be back!
