Clean, comfortable and quiet location to enjoy visiting the western coast of Michigan. Quick drive to the beach, dog park, downtown Muskegon restaurants and attractions. The fenced yard was great for our dog to spent time outside with us while we enjoyed the patio and fire pit.Would definitely recommend staying here again.

This house has everything you need. There is a lot of details covered (qtips, coffee, etc). The only downfall is the neighborhood is a bit run down. Most definitely the nicest house in area. Brenda was great at communicating as well.

Brenda’s properties are absolutely amazing places to stay! She has managed to find locations for her patrons that are just a few minutes away from the nearby shores! With keen attention to detail, she and her crew have transformed her Muskegon homes into four-star gems! She is very easy to deal and speak with and lists her stays for absolutely reasonable prices. We will be returning in the near future to Muskegon and will continue to spend our vacations at Brenda’s homes. Look no further ppl. You’re just going to be wasting your time.Best regards,Presley

About the host

Hosted by Brenda

Host profile image
I love being a host because it allows me to bring each home to life by telling a unique story based on its style. Being from the area and living here, I have a deep connection to these homes and the community. My passion is creating spaces where guests can truly relax and feel at home, no matter where they’re coming from. Each home I design is meant to offer comfort, warmth, and a sense of belonging.

Why they chose this property

This home is incredibly comfortable, designed in the classic Cape Cod style. It reminds me so much of the home my grandma had when I was growing up, which brings a deep sense of warmth and nostalgia. I believe that's one of the main reasons why this home is so frequently booked—it just has that special feeling of being home.

What makes this property unique

Welcome to Always Vacation Rentals! This home is not only near Lake Michigan, beaches, and bike paths, but it's also perfect for your furry friends, as we’re pet-friendly (dog only, 2 dogs max). The fully fenced yard gives your dog plenty of room to roam and play. Inside, the home offers a spacious layout with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a cozy living area with a 50" Smart TV and basic cable.

The lower-level family room with 2 twin beds and a game table is perfect for entertaining kids or adults. The kitchen is fully stocked for your culinary needs, including pots, pans, and baking items if you want to whip up something special.

Step outside to enjoy a large patio area with a grill, fire pit, and plenty of space to relax and hang out with friends and family. Whether you're lounging by the fire or grilling dinner, the patio is a great spot to unwind. Plus, we offer a Stage 2 car charger for your electric vehicle, making it even easier to enjoy your stay!
