Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cheryl R. 3 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### We loved our time in Muskegon The house was great. Great, large pool we all enjoyed. Great outdoor and living space, especially large tables for family meals. Kitchen was really well stocked with everything you could possible need. Bedrooms were good. One mattress on the upstairs queen wasn't great. Fans in the bedrooms were welcome. The thermostat was very touchy and two nights we awoke to see the cooling wasn't on and it was very warm in the house. But no issue was a big one. Bathrooms were clean and towels plentiful. Laundry downstairs was excellent and roomy and the kids enjoyed the games in the basement very much.Family space for games was wonderful. Easy access to beach and parks and other towns for restaurants and shopping. Grocery delivery service was excellent and easy.Great property. Thanks for having us. ##### Cheryl R.

The shade in the back was a bummer for the pool and the curtains not being able to close all the way was a bummer for me but that is my own personal preference. Other than that it was enjoyable and relaxing. ##### Lee M.
