Very clean rental, fully stocked kitchen. Property manager was helpful and quick to respond. Location on the lake was nice but surrounding area was less than desirable. Driving distance to Muskegon and St Joseph’s for a nice day trip. Pontoon boat rental was great! House fit two families comfortably.

Lovely last minute getaway

We came up for a long weekend getaway during the Fall and it was simply perfect. From extremely prompt and helpful responses throughout the process by property manager Kim as we planned a last minute getaway to the home having all the small details that make your stay more enjoyable to the extra bonus of having a pontoon boat on a gorgeous lake.

Relaxing Getaway

We had such an amazing stay! The house was very clean, views were beautiful, and the hot tub and boat were great for our family. Having the boat on the property really made our trip. The hot tub is drained and refilled up before each guest arrives which is extremely nice. This was easily my family’s favorite vacation home we have booked. The hosts were also very responsive!

Lovely beach themed cottage near Grand Haven

The Beach House on Mona Lake was a perfect spot for our family vacation! It was newly remodeled and decorated with a lovely beach vibe. The brand new included pontoon boat was a fantastic bonus as were the Kayaks, fire pit, hot tub and lovely outdoor area. The lake was easy to navigate and not overly crowded.
