Family Vaca

Room for all of us (12) in this nicely located home. My husband and I invited our 3 kids and their spouses (Age 31-37) and our 4 grandchildren (6 weeks to 3.5 years old) to come stay with us as their schedules allowed. We loved sitting on the screened in main floor deck watching the Freighters, Ferry, Cruise Ship and other boats, walking to the beaches and restaurants. The Century Club Shops, Muskego Western Market and Unruly on W Western Ave in Muskegon were fun to browse through. We also enjoyed Lewis Adventure Farm & Zoo in New Era - a wonderful place for the kids of all ages. The Muskegon Lake Beach was super close and just the right size for the littles. Pere Marquette Beach is just beautiful. We walked to the sunset almost every night. The home was very well stocked with had nearly everything we required. Ed was an awesome host. He was very responsive to help us locate a few items and even anticipated our needs, bringing just what we needed! We highly recommend this place and would love to return if we ever plan to vacation in the area again.

Perfect all around!!

We stayed last week with 8 adults and 4 toddlers. The place was just as described, but we were surprised to find it’s even better than the pictures! It easily had room for all of us. It was the best stocked rental we have ever had. Everything we needed was there, from kitchen supplies to beach chairs. They have truly thought of everything. The property manager was great to communicate with, and even stopped by twice to help with the keypad and a tiny kitchen issue. He arrived quickly and was so kind! Location was excellent. We enjoyed fishing right out the front door and a peaceful walk to the lighthouse. The balconies had beautiful views and the screened in one was great for our late night euchre tournaments. We could quickly walk to 2 beaches and they were beautiful! We loved the local restaurants, The Deck and Dockers. Great food and even better atmosphere with the live music!! We really had an excellent week and would not hesitate to return & recommend it to family & friends. Thank you so much for such a special week with our kids & grandkids!!

Wonderful Channel house

The Channel house was perfect for our 3 generation family reunion for 14 of us. The house was nicely furnished, and kitchen well stocked. The house was spacious enough for all of us, and had everything that we needed…even bikes for those who wanted to bike ride, beach chairs, etc. The host even loaned us some fishing poles to use! The location is unbeatable, with beaches at Lake Michigan as well as Lake Muskegon within walking distance. And fun just to watch the boats go by on the channel also. The host was very responsive and accessible, with references for pontoon boat and jet ski rentals, and any other questions we had. There’s plenty of activities to enjoy in the area. We spent a day at Michigan’s Adventure (water park and amusement park), and enjoyed supper at the Deck. Don’t hesitate to rent this lovely house for a fun Lake Michigan vacation!

Perfect multi family beach house

This house has plenty of room for family gatherings. There’s great space both inside and out and a great view from the decks overlooking the channel to watch all the boat traffic. The house was very clean and stocked with everything you need. The kids loves having the bikes to ride down to the beach and it’s also close enough to walk. Highly recommend!
