Charming RedBird Cottage- on a back dune, walk to the beach

The cottage was everything it was advertised to be and more. Ed is probably the best landlord in West Michigan! Made sure we had what we needed then stayed out of the way. Would recommend both the cottage and Ed to anyone wanting to rent in Muskegon.

Very charming cottage. Ed was great and always around if we needed him. The toys he provided kept my kids busy. The fire pit is very relaxing at night. The neighborhood is very quiet with the lake a 2 minute walk to your left and the big lake about a 7 minute walk to your right. I loved sitting on the front porch in the morning and watching the wild turkeys and seeing all the butterflies.

There are also deer that come at night behind the house and lots of bats too!

My only recommendation would be more towels and toiletries. You go through things faster with kids.

If you are used to new modern rentals, this isn’t the place as it has that upnorth charm.

We ate at The Deck- Awesome tacos and views.

Great place to stay! The cleanest rental we have ever stayed in! We would definitely come back.

Ed is the perfect host and he really knows how to present a property for vacation enjoyment. All was in good repair and we had all we needed for our Lake Michigan vacation week. The cottage is one block off Muskegon's lakeside bike trail and one day we took a 'round the Lake (32 mile) ride. Each night we took the short walk to the Pier Marquette beach and some evening ate at one of the beach side restaurants. We plan to return each year.

Nice house. Small but had everything we needed. Ed was willing to help make our stay enjoyable. It's not on the beach but pretty close. I really liked that they had bikes and kayaks to use so we didn't have to bring ours or rent them.
