This is the second time I stayed in this VRBO. There were 3 of us and we all agreed this is a wonderful property. It is warm and cozy and inviting. There are many amenities that make it nice such as a well stocked kitchen. We had family over for dinner and while we brought mostof what we needed to cook, it was nice that there were some spices available that we didn’t bring. The location is terrific. We walked the channel and the beach. I recommend this VRBO and give it a 5 star rating.

House was very clean. Nicely decorated. Very welcoming upon walking through door. House is equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Kitchen has everything you need to prepare a meal. One of the best equipped homes we have stayed at and we stay in vrbo homes a lot. Centrally located. Too cold during our stay to sit outside but In the warmer weather it would be awsome. We saw a few boats go through channel and a couple bigger ones. Very nice walkway along the channel in front of the house. Thank you for sharing your house

This place is perfect. You can basically just bring your own food, because they seem to have provided everything else. Every toiletry you can think of is there if you forget to pack something. The kitchen has everything you would have at your own home. Top to bottom, the home is spotless inside and out. The location is terrific, providing a view of the all-day daily parade of boats going back and forth through the channel. If you have the opportunity to rent this house, don't hesitate!

Great property with all the amenities you could possibly think of. Host had thought of everything as far as supplies and extras. Only note would be the beds were fairly uncomfortable but everything else more than made up for it. One of the best stays I've had with Vrbo and will definately be back.

The house was amazing! The location is on a quiet dead-end road and right along the channel so you see lots of boats coming and going which was fun to watch. It is a quick walk to the beach and The Deck restaurant so you don’t have to worry about parking or traffic. The availability of having bikes and a wagon for use was nice. The house was well stocked, including items you may forget to pack (floss, toothpaste, soap, etc), it was very clean and comfortable and we would definitely stay here again.

Short Stay

As off season did a short stay to visit family and friends. So much better than a hotel and the view of the channel is wonderful. The house is newly redone and has all the perfect amenities. The kitchen is better stocked then a Homegoods store.

Wonderful Vacation Home

Lovely property including a magnificent cement front porch with partial cover for lounging. Water view and a short walk to both Muskegon Lake and Lake Michigan. House was spacious and hostess thought of everything! Lots of labels to help us find things. Beautiful kitchen with all essentials and many extras. Bathrooms were roomy, we enjoyed air conditioning, and home was beautifully decorated. Access to garage with bikes and beach toys. We brought our own and appreciated a place to lock them up. Side patio included grill and bar area, covered. We highly recommend this property for a family vacation! We would like to return ourselves, and probably will.

Gorgeous Lake House

Beautiful lake house right on the channel connecting Lake Michigan to Lake Muskegon. Immediately begin walking the channel as you walk out front. Boats, deer, swans so much to see while just sitting on the patio. The house has been beautifully redone with an open floor plan that keeps everyone together so you don’t miss anything because you’re in the kitchen or dining room, etc. the whole stay was incredibly pleasant and I look forward to staying again.
