It offers a serene and peaceful setting while still being close to the vibrant beachfront activities. The massive beech trees that surround the house are part of the private, natural setting for this well-appointed home, making it ideal for a stress-free vacation. The property features two spacious decks with comfortable seating and a dining area, perfect for outdoor meals on the gas grill and relaxation. The backyard includes a fire pit for cozy evenings under the stars. Baileys Beach Retreat can comfortably sleep nine guests. The master bedroom offers a luxurious king-size bed with a serene ambiance. It includes an attached master bathroom with modern fixtures, a spacious shower, and a soaking tub. The loft bedroom offers three twin beds, providing additional sleeping space. It's a cozy and inviting retreat for guests seeking a bit of privacy. The bedroom in the basement has a queen bed, and the open sleeping area downstairs contains a twin daybed with twin trundle bed. Additionally, the home offers a variety of games, books, and movies to ensure you have plenty of options to keep everyone entertained throughout your stay. Whether you're into binge-watching, gaming, reading, or watching films, you'll find something to enjoy every moment of your vacation! This is not a pet friendly property. Note from Owner: "On humid summer nights when I was growing up, my mom would pack up our dinner and we'd have a picnic at the Elks Park (which our property abuts) followed by a swim in Lake Michigan to cool off. We always slept better on those nights. I named the house Bailey's Beach Retreat, because for me, this solitary house in the dunes surrounded by towering beech trees is a special place to enjoy the peace and serenity of nature. We've provided lots of games, puzzles, movies and books because for us, the best part of a vacation is laughing and playing with the family, but also having quiet time to read a good book. Our grown-up kids still love Putter's Creek on the Causeway in North Muskegon for go-carting and miniature golf and of course, Michigan's Adventure. We never visit Muskegon without going to G & L for a Greek cheddar chili dog special – order it with everything. Try Ryke's bakery on Terrace St for good old-fashioned baked goods or The Village Bakery in Spring Lake or their other location – The Baker's Wife – on Washington in Grand Haven for delicious muffins, breads and other treats. Our favorite galleries are the Uptown and C2C in Grand Haven, and Art Cats in Muskegon. Also, don't miss the Muskegon Farmers Market. They're open several days a week, but Saturday is best. There's a baker there who makes a killer cherry strudel and look for the Cheese Lady (who also has a storefront downtown). Of course you'll also find plenty of fruit and vegetables if you're into that kind of thing. We treasure every day we're able to spend at our Michigan home and we hope you will too." BEDDING CONFIGURATION This home sleeps 9 guests Bedroom 1: King Bed Loft Bedroom: 3 Twin Beds Bedroom 2 Lower Level: Queen Bed Lower Level Living Space: Twin Trundle Bed Muskegon is located on the shores of Lake Michigan. We are also home to many state parks, including P.J. Hoffmaster State Park, where you can find 10 miles of hiking trails and a beautiful beach. Take a trip to downtown Muskegon where you will find a variety of breweries and restaurants to enjoy. Muskegon is also the home to The Lakes Mall, which is surrounded by shopping, food and fun! Plan on spending a day with your family at Michigan's Adventure for a day of action and excitement. If you desire a day relaxing in the sun, head to the Muskegon River or the White River where River Rat Rentals and Happy Mohawk Canoe will rent tubes and canoes for your family to calmly float down the river. This property is located in the city of Norton Shores. Lake Michigan is just a short walk from the house. A few miles down the road is Lake Harbor Park, featuring trails, dunes, the big lake, and a channel to Mona Lake, a smaller lake that has a beach of its own. For a day of fun, head to Craig's Cruisers for mini golf, go-karts, arcades, and so much more! All of this is waiting for you to enjoy on your vacation to Muskegon!

Very private location. House was well kept and clean and the check in and out process was very easy. The home also fit everyone and with the lower level apartment feel, it made it feel like separate houses for our two families. ##### Anastasia T.
