Short Stay

As off season did a short stay to visit family and friends. So much better than a hotel and the view of the channel is wonderful. The house is newly redone and has all the perfect amenities. The kitchen is better stocked then a Homegoods store.

Cool spot! Great rental!

The attention to detail in this rental is what stood out the most! Everything you might need along with little things you may have forgotten are provided, which was a pleasant surprise. The location was great right on the channel. We want to come back in the summer!

perfect get-a-way.

Beautiful home in an amazing location! The attention to details was impressive and made our stay comfortable and easy. The house is on a channel, with Muskegon Lake and Lake Michigan within walking distance. So many great parks, hiking trails and restaurants nearby! We brought our labs Maggie and Henry and we appreciated the convenience of the fenced yard. Amazing experience, wonderful and cozy home!

Michigan getaway

This house right on the channel is charming and comfortable! It was very clean and well-stocked with anything you can think of. The front patio was lovely for watching ships and boats of all sizes. We appreciated the fenced in yard for our two medium-sized dogs.

Gorgeous Lake House

Beautiful lake house right on the channel connecting Lake Michigan to Lake Muskegon. Immediately begin walking the channel as you walk out front. Boats, deer, swans so much to see while just sitting on the patio. The house has been beautifully redone with an open floor plan that keeps everyone together so you don’t miss anything because you’re in the kitchen or dining room, etc. the whole stay was incredibly pleasant and I look forward to staying again.

A few days with Great Friends

This property is top notch and exceeded all of our expectations. It’s comfortable, clean, and so well stocked. Brenda has thought of anything and everything you would need. The location is awesome especially if you have a boat that you can dock at the marina. Being on the canal, there’s never a dull moment! You can sit out front in comfortable chairs or couch and watch all the boats. We have already booked our stay for next year. Awesome Vrbo

Wonderful Vacation Home

Lovely property including a magnificent cement front porch with partial cover for lounging. Water view and a short walk to both Muskegon Lake and Lake Michigan. House was spacious and hostess thought of everything! Lots of labels to help us find things. Beautiful kitchen with all essentials and many extras. Bathrooms were roomy, we enjoyed air conditioning, and home was beautifully decorated. Access to garage with bikes and beach toys. We brought our own and appreciated a place to lock them up. Side patio included grill and bar area, covered. We highly recommend this property for a family vacation! We would like to return ourselves, and probably will.

About the host

Hosted by Brenda Harris

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 has been a dream of ours for over 17 years. My husband and I always said that if we ever had the chance to buy it, there were so many things we would love to do with it. We used to pass by it on our boat, admiring it from the water, imagining all the possibilities. Then, the opportunity came—and we’re still pinching ourselves, realizing that this dream is now our reality. Welcome to a long-awaited dream come true, where every detail reflects the pride and love we have for this special place. We hope you feel the same warmth and joy that we do every time we step through the door.

What makes this property unique

We truly believe this little gem is one of the best catches on the entire water channel. It’s a home that everyone knows and loves—a true standout! Boaters often pass by, pointing it out, because it’s just that special. Now, you get to be a part of the magic too. Thank you for choosing Always Vacation Rental for your getaway. We know you’ll love being here just as much as we do!
