Clean, comfortable and quiet location to enjoy visiting the western coast of Michigan. Quick drive to the beach, dog park, downtown Muskegon restaurants and attractions. The fenced yard was great for our dog to spent time outside with us while we enjoyed the patio and fire pit.Would definitely recommend staying here again.

Great house, well stocked!

This house has everything you need. There is a lot of details covered (qtips, coffee, etc). The only downfall is the neighborhood is a bit run down. Most definitely the nicest house in area. Brenda was great at communicating as well.

Brenda’s properties are absolutely amazing places to stay! She has managed to find locations for her patrons that are just a few minutes away from the nearby shores! With keen attention to detail, she and her crew have transformed her Muskegon homes into four-star gems! She is very easy to deal and speak with and lists her stays for absolutely reasonable prices. We will be returning in the near future to Muskegon and will continue to spend our vacations at Brenda’s homes. Look no further ppl. You’re just going to be wasting your time.Best regards,Presley

What a dream!!!!

Everything was as advertised, every question I asked was answered quickly. The house is small but the space is utilized so well. 4 adults and two children had a lovely stay. Brenda had toys for the kids, puzzles, the second TV in the basement was a godsend. Proximity to the lake and Frosty cove was amazing.

Cute beach side property located close to the beach and downtown Muskegon. The house was perfect for our family of 6 adults and two little ones. It was very clean and had a nice fenced in backyard for the children to run and play. The house was well stocked with everything that you would need. The photos of the property are accurate. We would highly recommend this place as a great place to stay!

Wonderful Place to Stay

Couldn’t have been happier with our booking. It’s a smaller house but they made the most of the space. Great patio, nice yard and a fire pit to just sit back and relax after a day at the beach. The upstairs is spacious and has a nice little area in the basement with beds, couch and tv for kids to just hand out in.It had everything you needed plus more. If you forgot any bathroom items, no worry they have it waiting for you. Kitchen had everything you would need and they even leave a basket of snacks. Everything is labeled as well. You literally could just pack your clothes and food and they have everything else supplied. Couldn’t have asked for a better place near the beach.Everyone enjoyed this place. Would definitely book again.

What a wonderful family reunion

This home was a dream come true. Everything was exactly as stated in the information that had been provided and more. There really wasn't a need for much. Everything from Pots and pans (doors were labeled with items) to personal hygiene products for both genders. They ever had an array of snack foods and a kennel for our dog if we decided to go out without him. If and when I had a problem, I just texted, and it was answered immediately! Very friendly, hosts. Actually, met them when they stopped by to make sure that the trash was out for in time for pick up. would I stay there again if I was in the area! You bet!
