Quiet neighborhood, close to beach

The property is within walking distance to Muskegon Lake and the quaint business district of Lakeside. Pere Marquette beach is fabulous, and only a 5 minute drive away. We had a fantastic stay, and our host, Brenda, is top notch. The home is tastefully renovated, and the large fenced yard is perfect for your furry best friend.

Lovely stay

They thought of everything that a family would need. The outdoor patio and fenced in back yard was great for our children to run around. The close proximity to Pere Marquette beach was nice too. There's a bike trail but with children you're better off driving since it's a little less than 2 miles away.

Amazing!

Property had everything we needed for a 3-day visit to the area. Our kids (2.5 and 5.5) had a great time. There were even a few toys for them. Wonderful space and a fabulous backyard. Easy access to beaches. Host was quick to respond to emails and provided lots of helpful information about the area. We would definitely stay here again.

What a great place to stay. My wife and I travel alot and have stayed in many VRBOs and rentals. This is an example for all VRBO hosts to follow. Everything you could need and more. Nicely decorated and tasteful, being very attentive to every little detail, not to mention how clean and comfortable. The neighborhood is a little bit of an older area but safe, nice and well kept, being close to all the local sites and restaurants. I just can't say enough about how nice this home was. Would definitely stay here again.

Winter Getaway

Brenda’s property was one of the nicest we’ve stayed at. The house was super clean, beautiful decor and all the details were covered. We were so thankful to be able to bring our dog along as well. It made for a great long weekend as we enjoyed the Muskegon Winter Complex and Michigan’s beautiful winter. We would definitely stay at her property again.

Well stocked & perfect location!

Minutes from everything! Perfectly decorated & well stocked. When we arrived I realized I forgot the collapsible stool for our toddler, I opened the linen closet and TADA - a stool! There were even brand new reading glasses and nail clippers! Fenced yard is huge. Propane gas grill & propane griddle were excellent! My only request is a kitchen garbage can with lid and lock because my dog is a garbage picker. I solved that problem by keeping the trash bin on the counter.

Love this Home

We have family who live in Muskegon, MI, so we decided to rent a home of our own, so we can have our own space. Wow is all I can say. We stayed for the week of Christmas and it was just like home for us. The beds were comfortable and the house had everything we needed. We will forsure stay here again. Thanks for making my family feel at home for the holidays.

Pet Expo Trip

Me and a few other rescue volunteers spent 5 days staying at this home between working at the Pet Expo. Home was impeccably clean and worked well for our visit. Only negative was the yard is not fully fenced so we couldn’t allow the rescue dogs to get exercise off leash. We will definitely be back!

My husband and I, and our dog (!) completely enjoyed our stay at your pristine house. It ranks up there as one of the best places we’ve ever stayed! Newly updated, beautiful and comfortable decor. Brenda has thought of everything! It was stocked with spices, condiments, extra personal care items in case you might forget something, snacks, you name it! We appreciated the labeled cupboards, the dog bowls, the binder with suggested things to do. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you for a relaxing and enjoyable few days! :)

Wonderful!

We had a great stay at this property! I always bring cleaning products with not knowing what we are walking into, but we definitely didn't needed them here. Very clean house that has everything you could possibly need and more. The location is perfect. We brought our bikes with and could bike to the beach and just about everywhere else. Only took the care out twice. We really enjoyed eating outside at The Deck and the Lake House Grille. Our dog really enjoyed the gated back yard also. Brenda was so attentive and friendly when we had a question for her. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you for this wonderful house!

Perfectly welcoming

I felt like a welcomed guest instead of a paying customer. Brenda thought of every little detail! Everything was clean, beautiful, stocked, and labeled. I loved the way she made ideas of what to do and where to go into artwork on the wall! Little touches like cuddly blankets (even fall themed) with a welcome to use them and cuddle up made us feel welcome and special. We did not bring our dog this trip, but now that I have stayed here, I am excited to stay again and bring her! I usually stay away from town, but this place was quiet and the outdoor area was wonderful and private so I would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Brenda

Host profile image
I love being a host because it allows me to bring each home to life by telling a unique story based on its style. Being from the area and living here, I have a deep connection to these homes and the community. My passion is creating spaces where guests can truly relax and feel at home, no matter where they’re coming from. Each home I design is meant to offer comfort, warmth, and a sense of belonging.

What makes this property unique

When we bought this house, it was in really rough shape—one of those places where we wondered, Did we make the right decision? But as we started the remodel, we uncovered its true potential. We discovered incredible 10-foot ceilings, transformed a two-bedroom home into three spacious bedrooms, and completely revamped the kitchen and bathroom—making them both larger and more functional. Adding a main-level laundry area was a huge plus, too!

One of the biggest highlights of this home is the large backyard patio. With a BBQ grill, a flat grill, and plenty of seating, it’s the perfect space for gathering and enjoying the outdoors. The yard itself is massive—big enough for a game of frisbee golf! And if you’re bringing along your furry friends, they’ll love the open space to run and play.

This home has truly become a fantastic place to relax, unwind, and have fun. Thank you for booking with Always Vacation Rentals—we hope you love your stay!
