Amazing pool house!

We enjoyed our stay! Lots of amenities and easy to prepare meals together. There were 8 in our party, and it was the perfect number for this space. The pool is large and amazing!

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.

Wonderful family vacation with great memories! The only thing in question was that we thought it had a hot tub or jacuzzi. The house was beautiful! They had all the amenities we needed.

GREAT FAMILY PLACE

This was a great place for a family get-away! We enjoyed having a pool to ourselves and a relaxing place to make smores. The large kitchen table was perfect for the 7 of us to eat and play games. Our grandchild loved watching the deer and turkeys making their way from the back to the front yard. We also like how close we were from many activities whether at a beach or in Grand Rapids.

Happy

Liked the house and the size of the house. 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.
