5BR Channel View Retreat! Near the Beach in Bluffton - Muskegon

The property was immaculate, well organized, well stocked, and a wonderful location for our family of 14. It had the beach, the boardwalk, fishing, ships passing through the channel, the view, the screened in porch (no bugs), an outside play area for the kids to play kickball/football/wiffleball, walkable restaurants, and 3 and 1/2 bathrooms…..all things we look for in a vacation rental! It checked all the boxes. The only negative for our stay was there was limited “tourist shops/boutiques” in the area. We do like to spend a day shopping & realized Muskegon has little or none of those.

We had a family vacation here including grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. We do this trip yearly to all different places, and Ed was one of the best hosts we have ever had. Effective communication, checked in with us, and even brought us more toilet paper within 20 minutes of us asking. The location was perfect to get to everything we wanted to do, including riding the bikes provided to the nearby Pere Marquette Beach. We even saw a few freighters go through the channel which was very exciting. Highly recommend this house and these hosts!

We could not have asked for more for our extended family vacation. The home is lovely, the kitchen and pantry accommodated snacks and meals, and the walk to the public beach made it easy to come and go whenever we wanted. An added plus was the screened in porch facing the channel which allowed us to sit and visit and watch the boats.

We had forgotten a pack and play and the manager provided one much to our relief. His service was wonderful.

It is clean, well stocked with every need and has plenty of room for our family of twelve ages 20 months - 72. I’m the grandma and enjoyed my own room and my three sons, their wives and children all had their separate spaces too. Plenty of bathrooms to match. Pier Marquette beach is the best beach in middle Lake Michigan. Loved the submarine next door, the deck and the best sand in the Great Lakes.

Incredibly helpful host and location easily walkable to beach. Had enough space to fit four families.

We really enjoyed our stay in Muskegon. We had 4 families traveling from 3 different states. The house easily accommodated everyone and their needs. We cooked the majority of our meals and found the kitchen to have everything we needed in terms of appliances, ample utensils, and pots and pans. We enjoyed many meals, conversations and games on the screened in balcony. The garage included many beach chairs and a beach cart for our use, which was very convenient, along with several bikes of various sizes. The host was friendly and very communicative. We had a wonderful stay and would not hesitate to return again in the future!

We enjoyed sitting out on the patio watching all the different boats go through the channel. We also went down to the beach every day. Our grandkids enjoyed the several playgrounds in the area.

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.

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!!
