My group of friends and I stayed here for the second time recently. It’s a great place to stay with a nice view of the water, and walking distance to the beach and light houses!

Enjoyed our stay near one of the best Lake Michigan beaches. Location was excellent for heading to the beach and the Deck for dinner and live music. The house was roomy and comfortable for our group of five.

Thanks for the kind words Craig! You guys were awesome! Please come back anytime!
We had a fantastic time during our stay. Location was perfect! Very short walk to the beach so we didn’t have to deal with parking which was nice. We had a pleasant time sitting on the large balcony in the morning sipping our coffee and watching the frieghters pass by. Pricing was fair compared with other properties in the beachside community. Plenty of room as well. We would definitely stay again!

Kory I'm very glad you enjoyed your stay. Please come back anytime you feel the urge for a family getaway. You're definitely the type of people I like to accommodate!
This location can’t be beat! As you can see in the pictures the interior is older but it is clean, the furniture is comfortable and the 1 bedroom apartment downstairs was a great separation for our multigenerational group. Jeff is a great host and he provided all the linens, toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap and hand soap which was a first for any place that we have rented in the past. If we book a stay in Muskegon again, I would book this home again without hesitation.

Thank you, Susan, your kind words are so very nice. I have always felt accessories such as toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, and hand soap are a given to have readily available. Furthermore, I truly appreciate how you treated my home as you would your own! Please come back anytime you desire as you are definitely the type of folks I love to accommodate!
Property manager was very friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. We loved it!

Location is great to Lake Michigan, 5 minute walk to the Channel, beach and The Deck. Backyard is great for gatherings, used the deck nightly to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

Thank you Joel for the nice comments. I'm really glad you enjoyed yourselves. Please come back anytime as you and your wife are just the kind of people that I love to accommodate!
This house is old and hardly anything has been updated. It was fairly clean and as advertised. I would stay here again but it would not be my first option.
Older home, but well maintained. Jeff, the owner, was friendly and quick to respond if we needed something. Fantastic location. Our group loved the proximity to the playground, beach, and The Deck with live music every night. The grownups enjoyed drinks on the deck above the garage and the Michigan sunsets almost every night. Plenty of space for our group of 9, plus one dog. We had a great time!

Thank you Nicia,
I am glad that you had a good time. Yes, I know my home is getting older, but I try to keep it in tip top shape because my father built it, and I grew up there.
Please come back anytime as you and your group are just the kind of folks that I really enjoy accommodating!
Perfect location for Pere Marquette beach; just a short walk. The house was big and roomy. We loved it.

Brought the whole family to visit our daughter and her family. We really loved staying close to the beach very lovely place to stay Jeff is a great host responded very quickly when you contact him. This would be the place I would book again in the future if available.
Loved the location but was much more expensive than the $395 a night that was advertised.

I"m glad you loved the location. The advertised rate is an average rate based on the whole season, which varies depending on the dates. The rates for the specific dates you booked are clearly stated as July 27 - August 2 and is the height of the summer season. If you would have booked in early June or even late August the rates would have been lower.
The front deck was AMAZING. Afternoon sun, view of the channels comings and goings, and sparkling Lake Michigan.Easy walk to The Deck and submarine museum. Nice playground for families across the street. We enjoyed our stay.The place was CLEAN, and even had coffee to get us started with our first pot of coffee.Jeff was nice, even stopped by during our stay to see if everything was OK. Great experience!
