Wow!

Thank you Ed, for a clean, comfortable and well stocked vacation rental. We loved the location in a quiet neighborhood, yet close to the beach activity. We rented bikes in the Lakeside business neighborhood and rode the trail around Muskegon Lake. Great visit!

Ed was a gracious and helpful host! The house is super close to the beach and we used bicycles that Ed provided to ride the bike trails and go downtown. We had crummy weather but really enjoyed our stay at the Redbird Cottage!

Beach vacation

Well located and convenient house close to Pete Marquette beach, walking or biking distance. Ed provided some bikes and was a great host, also offered kayaks. Muskegon is an under the radar beach town, lots of stuff to do and not as packed as others. Short drive to downtown and more restaurants, nice fire ring there, overall a great time and a great home base.

Great property-even better landlord!

The cottage was everything it was advertised to be and more. Ed is probably the best landlord in West Michigan! Made sure we had what we needed then stayed out of the way. Would recommend both the cottage and Ed to anyone wanting to rent in Muskegon.
