5BR Channel View Retreat! Near the Beach in Bluffton of Muskegon

Expanded cleaning practices beyond CDC guidelines. Fresh water sea breezes are on the channel between Muskegon Lake and Lake Michigan And a short walk to an award winning beach. With 2 balconies overlooking the channel, enjoy watching the marine traffic go by all day. The main floor balcony is a covered and screened in, so you can enjoy it no matter the weather or the few bugs we have here. The 5br house sleeps 14 in beds and has 2 living rooms. Great business retreat with 8 single beds. Both have their own TV and sitting area, and the upstairs has 2 twin trundle day beds (4 twin size beds)! Great for kids to have their own space.
Stocked kitchen with everything you'll need for a big family meals, and 2 dining areas that each seat up to 10 each. Step out the front door to the channel boardwalk and walk, run, or bike to the beach, light house, 2 live music restaurants, or submarine museum. We've provide adult and kid bikes, as well as beach chairs for your use. Pere Marquette Beach is like the Caribbean durning summer months. If you bring a boat, there's a launch at the marina all within walking distance of the house called Harbor Towne. If you have a larger boat, Harbor Towne has transient slips to rent. Also within walking distance are 2 up beat award winning restaurants with nightly live music and outdoor seating; The Deck and Dockers! And for any historians, there's a submarine museum featuring the USS Silversides, a real WW2 Submarine about 4 houses down. This is and turn of the century actors colony with the likes of Buster Keaton summering here. We also have one of the largest Michigan purple Martin colonies a few doors down. Lakeside business district is 2.5 miles from us. Restaurants, distillery, cotton candy shop, tea shop, souvenir shops, pizza, pubs, and convenience store. Downtown Muskegon is 5 miles away and is bustling with restaurants, farmers markets, event venues, breweries and distilleries! We provide linens and house towels. Bring your beach towels!

Family Vaca
Room for all of us (12) in this nicely located home. My husband and I invited our 3 kids and their spouses (Age 31-37) and our 4 grandchildren (6 weeks to 3.5 years old) to come stay with us as their schedules allowed. We loved sitting on the screened in main floor deck watching the Freighters, Ferry, Cruise Ship and other boats, walking to the beaches and restaurants. The Century Club Shops, Muskego Western Market and Unruly on W Western Ave in Muskegon were fun to browse through. We also enjoyed Lewis Adventure Farm & Zoo in New Era - a wonderful place for the kids of all ages. The Muskegon Lake Beach was super close and just the right size for the littles. Pere Marquette Beach is just beautiful. We walked to the sunset almost every night. The home was very well stocked with had nearly everything we required. Ed was an awesome host. He was very responsive to help us locate a few items and even anticipated our needs, bringing just what we needed! We highly recommend this place and would love to return if we ever plan to vacation in the area again.

Perfect all around!!
We stayed last week with 8 adults and 4 toddlers. The place was just as described, but we were surprised to find it’s even better than the pictures! It easily had room for all of us. It was the best stocked rental we have ever had. Everything we needed was there, from kitchen supplies to beach chairs. They have truly thought of everything. The property manager was great to communicate with, and even stopped by twice to help with the keypad and a tiny kitchen issue. He arrived quickly and was so kind! Location was excellent. We enjoyed fishing right out the front door and a peaceful walk to the lighthouse. The balconies had beautiful views and the screened in one was great for our late night euchre tournaments. We could quickly walk to 2 beaches and they were beautiful! We loved the local restaurants, The Deck and Dockers. Great food and even better atmosphere with the live music!! We really had an excellent week and would not hesitate to return & recommend it to family & friends. Thank you so much for such a special week with our kids & grandkids!!

Wonderful Channel house
The Channel house was perfect for our 3 generation family reunion for 14 of us. The house was nicely furnished, and kitchen well stocked. The house was spacious enough for all of us, and had everything that we needed…even bikes for those who wanted to bike ride, beach chairs, etc. The host even loaned us some fishing poles to use! The location is unbeatable, with beaches at Lake Michigan as well as Lake Muskegon within walking distance. And fun just to watch the boats go by on the channel also. The host was very responsive and accessible, with references for pontoon boat and jet ski rentals, and any other questions we had. There’s plenty of activities to enjoy in the area. We spent a day at Michigan’s Adventure (water park and amusement park), and enjoyed supper at the Deck. Don’t hesitate to rent this lovely house for a fun Lake Michigan vacation!

Perfect multi family beach house
This house has plenty of room for family gatherings. There’s great space both inside and out and a great view from the decks overlooking the channel to watch all the boat traffic. The house was very clean and stocked with everything you need. The kids loves having the bikes to ride down to the beach and it’s also close enough to walk. Highly recommend!

Great place on the Channel!
This house is very comfortable and great for a group. Watching the boats go by on the channel is so fun! And there are 2 great beaches very close, you can easily walk to the one on Muskegon Lake. Everything you need is either there or a short drive away. And there’s plenty to do. We rented a pontoon boat and cruised the channel and lakes. And thanks for all the quick assistance Ed!

Wonderful Muskegon Vacation
We rented this property for our family vacation; 8 adults and 6 children ages 2-14. Plenty of room for all; house is lovely and so comfortable. Kitchen very well stocked with everything I could ask for. Fabulous location on the channel, loved watching the endless line of boats going by, especially 3 huge freighters. Especially loved the screened porch, many bikes, coolers, games and cards! Saw the WWII Submarine, did mini-golf, enjoyed beach days. One of the best West Michigan family vacations we’ve had, and look forward to returning next summer! Thank you, Ed, for your warm hospitality and prompt help when needed!

Great vacation near the wonderful Lake Michigan
We had such a wonderful stay at this lovely home on the channel. Everything was as described and there was nothing we were longing for. The kitchen was well supplied, there were bikes and coolers and some beach toys, and the house was clean and well kept. This was a great family vacation, with kids ranging in age from 1 to 14. Everyone, including the adults, found plenty to do. We are already thinking about next summer and hoping this place will be available again!

We had a fabulous time at the house. Just a few minutes drive, walk or bike ride from one of the greatest beaches I’ve ever been. The house is immaculate. The screened in porch is perfect for breakfast and coffee conversations. Would definitely recommend.
