great visit

Location perfect. Across the street from a park. Within easy walking distance of Pierre Marquette Beach and even closer to another nice smaller beach- the Cove-where the water is a little warmer. Beach restaurant also very close. Spent a lot of time on the deck of the property. On the channel between Lakes Michigan and Muskeegon, so great place for walks. Owner met us there and was easy to communicate with.

Just what we needed!

Stayed with all adult friends for a weekend near the beach. Ample kitchen, great gathering spaces on the deck and another space to gather at a firepit. We had a rainy, windy weekend and there was enough space to enjoy each other without getting on each others' nerves. Perfect house location to the park, the channel and the beach near the breakwater.

Great long weekend at the beach!

We stayed here for Labor Day Weekend with our two small children and another family with two small children. This house was the perfect size for us. We loved the deck out front and camp fires in the back yard at night. With the playground across the street and the beach just a few minutes’ walk away, this location can’t be beat! We loved Muskegon and Jeff was a great host. Would definitely return!

Great house close to the beach and more!

The house is located 5 minute walk to the beach and the channel. Jeff was so accommodating and quick to communicate. On a nice sunny day, it's nice to sit on the balcony and watch boats coming through the channel. A playground is also just across the street. We also went on a fishing trip with CodeBlue Charters in the Marina which is only a 3 minute drive.

Great location for the whole family to enjoy.

Easy check in and a friendly owner. Spacious, safe, and secure location. Very close to the beach without having to mess with the traffic. Alot to experience and enjoy from Muskegon Lake Canal, it's beach to the beach on Lake Michigan, USS Silversides Submarine Museum, Code Blue fishing charters, and The Deck Restaurant all within walking distance. American Dunes folds of honor golf course, USS LST-393 museum, AquaStar sunset cruise, Michigan Adventures Water Park, and Lewis Farms Adventure Park all within a 30 min drive. Somthing for each and everyone. We give it an A+ and look forward to coming back.

Great Location to Water and Great Food

My friends and I have been going to Muskegon on an annual trip for nine years. We LOVE The Deck restaurant, always take a day to go to Michigan's Adventure, a day to drive to Grand Haven (for shops and food), and a day to spend at the beach. This property is within walking distance of The Deck and the nice beach just south of the restaurant and it's easy to hop onto the walking/running trail and it's an easy drive to just about anywhere else you want to go. The owner met greeted us and showed us around -- very welcoming! Parking was great and easy. The deck to the house was awesome to sit on for our morning coffee and evening drinks. The property itself could use some modern upgrades, but we would definitely stay there again.

Family Time

So enjoyed this home....awesome location and having the separate apartment was a plus for our family with a 3 yr old! - The front porch on this home provides priceless views and the backyard offers a firepit that is a great way to top off the day.....only "hiccup" is that we are a family that loves to prepare meals...this is not a gourmet kitchen, but we improvised....WE will be back!! Thanks Jeff for the history provided on the home and neighborhood. The Roseliep's

Fantastic beach house with excellent location.

This nice-size beach house not only has 4 bedrooms & 2 full bathrooms, but also an entire “apartment” on the lower level. The house is very clean, has a 2-stall garage, and a perfect deck/balcony overlooking Pere Marquette Park. Our family was so comfortable staying there for a week. The property owner was easily accessible for all questions & needs. Nice back yard for shaded dining & games in the afternoon & evening. Pere Marquette Beach is a premier Lake Michigan beach with wide sand, playgrounds, picnic tables, piers, a walking loop, nice bike trail, channel into Muskegon Lake, unique restaurant, and a shaded grassy park. Our host could not have been more accommodating.

Great Location!

Very pleased with our stay for many reasons: 1 - Cannot beat the location. Walking distance to beautiful beach, The Deck bar/restaurant, the piers, and the Channel 2 - The front deck on this house is great! Great place to sit and watch the world. We even saw multiple deer one of our evenings. 3 - Plenty of room and nice to have the basement apartment for our teenagers (15-20 yr olds) to have their own space when they wanted to stay up later than the adults and smaller kids. 4 - Well stocked. Kitchen had basic spices, trash bags, paper towels. Tons of towels on both floors. Box fan in bedroom closet. Box of DVDs that came in handy for the kids in our group. Noticed a high chair and baby/young child toys as well (didn’t need for our group but would be great for other families). 5 - Jeff was very friendly and attentive. Was waiting for us on arrival. When we noticed propane tank on the gas grill was low he quickly came over and filled it for us. 100% recommend
