Very nice place. Plenty of room, nicely decorated, very welcoming. Plenty of dishes etc if you want to eat there. Back yard was great and dog friendly. Front porch was nice. Neighborhood is quiet and we were able to walk the dogs. Felt safe there. Best part is you are walking distance to Frosty Cove if you want ice cream.

This is our second stay in Muskegon and specifically our second stay at one of Brenda’s properties. We had an incredible vacation! We took the dogs to the beach every day since it was so close, followed by grilling and exploring the area. The house was beautiful and fully stocked with everything we needed, and she even provided extra for the dogs so they would feel comfortable. We will be booking again!

Best experience we’ve had with a VRBO rental

We stayed here for our son‘s wedding along with some family. The house was absolutely beautiful, just as described with beautiful artwork, new furniture and appliances, lots of amenities, a well appointed kitchen and beautiful yard with lots of furniture and a fire pit. Overall, the experience was excellent. We have stayed in several VRBO homes and this was by far the nicest place we’ve been in. We would highly recommend this property. It was also close to the historic downtown area and the nature walk, which is a great place to go for a walk or a run, as well has Lake Michigan.

Great place

Everything about this place is exactly as in the listing - very clean, nicely decorated, everything you need is included. We loved using the beach chairs and beach umbrella, the yard was lovely and perfect for our dog and us to hang outside, and it was great to have the shed to keep our bikes in. Love that it was dog friendly and the host provides furniture covers as well and other dog accessories! Would highly recommend this home! Only negative was also mentioned in a previous review, the beds are very firm.

Perfect Family Stay

This house was the perfect size for our family. The downstairs was great for our two toddlers with two twin beds and a queen for us. My parents had their own space on the main floor. The house was super clean and had everything we needed. *Bonus- Toys, games, and books that our kids loved!!! We really enjoyed the firepit, game shed, and front porch for reading. The beach was only 5 mins away and we enjoyed taking our dog to the Kruse dog beach. Highly recommend Lewis Farms for kids, so much for the kids to do. The Frosty Cove was a close bike ride for our ice cream treats. We really enjoyed all the restaurants, putt-putt, submarine tour, boat cruise, and duck pin bowling. This has been our favorite house and spot in MI so far! Thank you for a wonderful summer vacation!

This was the second time we’ve stayed in this house and we were not disappointed! It’s really nicely appointed with all of the conveniences including a big yard, lots of linens, towels, and fully stocked kitchen. It’s a quiet neighborhood and easily accessible to Pere Marquette and other attractions around the Muskegon area. We will definitely continue to stay there in future years!

Great little house, layout, furniture all very nice. I really liked the front porch where I could sit in the morning and drink coffee. House was extremely clean, everything worked and I have never stayed in another rental that was as well supplied. Anything you forgot to bring Brenda has you covered, anything. Nice backyard for kids, lp grill and fire pit are a nice touch older quiet neighborhood. Our first time in Muskegon was a pleasant surprise not knowing what to expect. Clean city, well landscaped very walkable and many beautiful old buildings to visit. The city and surrounding area offered way more entertainment opportunities than we could take advantage of during our four night stay.

Great place to stay, off-season area

Our stay here was fantastic. The home is ideal and we couldn’t ask for more, especially traveling with a dog. Very friendly. The location was slightly questionable, as the area appeared slightly run-down, which i expect is largely exacerbated by the off-season

New favorite!

This is one of the best houses we’ve stayed in. So cute, well-kept and clean, all the details tended to, and we could bring the dogs along! I think even non-pet-owners would agree that the place is clean and fresh. We had fun playing games (in good condition), and the snacks were an exciting find for our teens. We brought sound machines which helped with sleeping as the floors are creaky and the doors stick. Communications with the host were prompt and helpful. It’s probably the nicest house on the block, but in a family neighborhood that felt safe. We are already trying to come up with reasons to return. We really enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful home - well stocked!

Beautiful, spotless property. Probably the cleanest, best stocked VRBO we have ever stayed at - and we've stayed at lots! Everything you could want, great sets of dishes, glasses, really nice pots and pans for cooking. Our downstairs bathroom had 8 sets of towels. It was wonderful! Backyard is very private and there was even a pile of wood for the fire pit. The patio is very nice with lots of seating and end tables for drinks and food. I loved the little screened in front porch. The book with recommendations for local restaurants and tourist venues was really helpful. It sounds like a small thing, but the toys that were mentioned in the description were full sets of things for our granddaughter to play with. So often, the "toys" they mention in other rentals are just a pile of plastic pieces, but this VRBO had whole sets of toys (like a wooden train set) with all the pieces. Very much appreciated. We like Muskegon and I see Brenda has multiple properties - when we come back we are going to book with her. Highly recommend!
