About this property

COMFORTABLE LUXURY <br>Lake Michigan beaches sunsets lighthouses trails

The LAKE HOUSE
Enjoy this cozy Lake House experience with all the perks of modern amenities, comfortable luxury, maximized functionality and detailed touches.
The house is 2200 sq ft of exceptional comfort and design.
4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms provide ample space for 8 people.

Outdoor Deck
A 12’ x 34’ covered deck allows you to have a total outdoor living space with a view of the channel. Enjoy your morning coffee and relax with family. You may have outdoor meals, play
games, read a book, enjoy the many local birds or have an evening cocktail while watching the sunset light the skies over the channel, Lake Michigan and Muskegon State Park.
Absolutely stunning views of the channel (Lake Michigan to Muskegon Lake), the thousand foot ships, cargo ships, ferry and sailboats that glide by. You will see the peaceful view of the sand dunes of Muskegon State Park across the channel.

Kitchen and Dining Room
The home has an exceptional amount of light with an abundance of windows on all sides. Enjoy how roomy the great room and kitchen/dining room areas are. The kitchen is very well stocked. A cozy gas fireplace can be turned on for cooler evenings.

Beaches
Award winning white sand “clean” and groomed beaches are a very short walk. (Approximately 5 minutes). Pere Marquette is almost 3 miles of continuous white sand beach. There are two playgrounds-one on the way to the beach and one at the beach.
Muskegon Lake and a beautiful sandy beach is a 10 minute walk behind the house.
So many beach choices within short walking distance from the house.

Restaurants
There are two great restaurants;
The Deck-on the beach
Dockers-on the Marina, by Muskegon Lake. Both in 5-10 minutes walk from the house. Muskegon is known for it’s great local restaurants. A full list is available online and in the information binder at the house.

Bike and Walking Trails
Miles and miles of trails for both walking and biking. A favorite is the trail along Muskegon Lake or the trail through the Beachwood Dunes and Lake Michigan Boardwalk.

USS Silversides Submarine and Naval Museum
Great history and an excellent tour of both the museum and submarine (paid admission).

Ice Cream
One ice cream shop on the beach and three others within biking or a short car ride.

Paddle Board Rental
There are local places for bike rentals, kayak, paddle board and canoe liveries and even fishing charters or daily boat rentals.

Hoffmaster State Park and Lake Harbor Dunes
One of the amazing features of Michigan is the sand dunes. Learn a little about the dunes through the visitors center at Hoffmaster State Park and actually climb and run the dunes at Lake Harbor for a unique experience.

Silver Lake Dune Buggy Rides
At Silver Lake (1 hour north), ride a dune buggy for a great view of the miles of massive high dunes.

NOAA:Lake Conditions
Always be aware of lake and weather conditions. Lake Michigan is a beautiful but powerful lake. Check NOAA for rip tides and never swim within 150 ft of any structure or pier. When the waves are high, we often take the grandkids to Muskegon Lake. There are several web cams to check out the view on the beaches.

Great 4th of July

Had a great 4th of July at this lovely house - comfortable, clean, spacious, and convenient to the beach and other activities. We especially enjoyed watching the huge ships go by on their way into and out of port from the deck.

The property was fabulous! Beautiful and so well appointed. We enjoyed watching the boats in the channel,and the sheer size of the freighters blew us away.Muskegon surprised me in that it had much more to offer than I had ever imagined. I would recommend it to everyone.

Great Vacation Home

This is a well-designed, well-situated, and well-equipped vacation home, perfect for a friends weekend or trip with immediate or extended family. The large porch off of the second floor kitchen is great for meals and to watch the sunsets.

This house was perfect for our family!

This house was perfect for our family! Great location with only a short walk to the beach. We loved sitting outside on the deck watching the sunsets over the channel. We even got to see several deer that came every evening right in front of the house. Kitchen was well stocked with appliances which was perfect for our family dinners. Definitely would come back.

Great place to stay

The property was clean as advertised and very spacious for our group of 6 adults. Easy Check-In and Check Out. Communication with Rose was fast and instructions were clear. Great location and the view from the covered porch was great with a nice breeze every day. The property is close to all the area attractions and has a nice walking path across the street that takes you up and down the canal that leads from Muskegon Lake to Lake Michigan. We would definitely stay here again if we have the chance.

Book a reservation at this house. Stay as long as you can because you won’t want to leave. It’s tastefully decorated. Warm and inviting. Well stocked and CLEAN! The porch is amazing as is the view, My pals and I walked to 3 light houses and hiked in the PJ Hoffmaster park. The downtown area is full of history and wonderful restaurants. Overall, a wonderful week and Rose was so pleasant to work with. Always willing to answer my questions. L

Great beachfront weekend getaway

We loved this property so much. It’s tucked away with amazing views. Close to the marina for boating and walkable to Pete Marquette beach which is stunning. The house is clean, spacious and has all the amenities, well stocked with cooking utensils, all the towels you could need. The upper deck is amazing for relaxing anytime of day.

A perfect home -- even more beautiful than the pictures!

Such a perfect home-away-from-home! The cleanest VRBO we've ever stayed in, with everything we could possibly need available (beach wagon, extra blankets, games, a PERFECT porch to watch the sunset from and see boats in the canal, every utensil and kitchen product, plenty of bathroom towels. Honestly, I could go on!). The open space is so great for a small group and having 3 showers was a bonus. The best part is being so close to such an amazing beach -- walking there was a breeze. Thank you for sharing your home!

Family Getaway

Amazing unit. We walked to the beach and lighthouse every day and enjoyed watching the ships each evening from the balcony. Although we didn't cook, the kitchen was stocked perfectly. We found everything we needed. Two unexpected positive surprises were the pickleball courts (4) located in a local park a few miles away and the Tiki Boiz Hawaiian food hut with such fun selections and great tastes. Rose was an amazing hostess checking in to make sure everything was ok and available for questions when needed. Many thanks for a great stay.

Lovely House!

My husband and I stayed in this home with our adult children and their significant others for a long weekend in August (7 people). The house is beautiful -- the pictures don't do it justice. Very nicely decorated and updated and the 3 full bathrooms were nice to have. Huge kitchen open to the dining table and living room with an enormous island with lots of stools. The porch/balcony is bigger than it seems in the pictures, and a great place to hang out or eat dinner. Unfortunately, we had some rain storms to dodge during our short stay, but we still got a fun beach afternoon in. The beach is a short 8-10 min walk from the house. The Deck restaurant/bar is right on the beach and very fun with daily live bands. We could hear the music from the porch of the house. It was also fun walking along the channel and out the pier to the light houses. The WWII submarine was very interesting right there in the channel. If we had more time we would have played pickleball at one of the venues with courts 7-12 minutes away. We will definitely be back for another visit sometime! Rose was a great host.

About the host

Hosted by Rose Dykstra

Host profile image
We built this home in 2011 as our dream beach home to be able to spend time with family and friends. We just love the uniqueness of this beach town, the many trails, lighthouses and piers, the boardwalks, the naval museum and actual world war ll submarine, the amazing and award winning white sand beaches, and fantastic local cuisine. It is just a beautiful place to live and explore.
Besides the swimming with family and grandchildren and walking along the beaches, my absolute favorite time is watching the glorious sunsets...the colors and views over Lake Michigan as it sinks into the lake is a gift.

Why they chose this property

The best aspects of this property are the views of the Muskegon Channel, all of the large ships, ferries, sailboats, Muskegon State Park Dunes, the easy walking to 2 lakes (Lake Michigan and Muskegon Lake), the absolutely beautiful beaches, the year round walking and views. We have a very large, covered patio that we enjoy as an outdoor room to be able to enjoy so many parts of the day...coffee, meals, reading and game time, a glass of wine and watching the most beautiful sunsets.

What makes this property unique

5 minute walk to the first beach on Lake Michigan. another 5 minute walk to the next beach on Lake Michigan. Muskegon Lake is a 10 minute walk east of the house. Three lighthouses within those same distances.
