This beach cottage is located directly across from Pere Marquette Beach, a nationally certified clean beach on the shores of Lake Michigan. Visitors will enjoy a wide expanse of beach, volleyball courts, a playground, and access to lighthouses and the Muskegon Channel. Be sure to walk over and check out "The Deck" restaurant right on the beach which serves up a very cool atmosphere, live concerts, and of course great drinks. Not to be missed is downtown Muskegon's “social sandbox”, a 12-block district featuring restaurants, breweries, shopping, outdoor art installations, open seating, a splashpad, and two adult-sized sandboxes. Most weekend evenings one can find live music and dance in the sand – downtown! Even more exciting, the city allows patrons to purchase an alcoholic beverage in a specially marked to-go cup and the beverage can then travel outdoors with the consumer within the district limits. Muskegon's shoreline along Lake Michigan features 26 miles of sandy beaches, over 60 miles of trails, and the opportunity to hike the dunes in 3 state parks and 7 county parks. Thrill-seekers should visit Michigan's Adventure Amusement and Wild Water Park home to 60+ rides and attractions including world-class wooden roller coaster, Shivering Timbers, which is 125 feet tall and over a mile long. The Muskegon Luge Adventure Sports Park offers another rare thrill, an 850' luge run and a fiberglass summer luge which is the only wheeled luge in North America. With one of the deepest ports in the Great Lakes and a nice collection of inland lakes and rivers, Muskegon County is a well-known playground for recreational boaters and fisherman. Maritime tours are offered in several lighthouses and at the USS LST 393 Veterans Museum, USS Silversides Submarine Museum, and the S.S. Milwaukee Clipper.

The house and amenities were really nice while still being comfortable and homey. Very clean bathroom, kitchen, and bedrooms. We spent a lot of time sitting on both the upper and lower porches watching the lake- people watching, sunsets, etc. It was an excellent location to spend time at the beach, walk to the lighthouse, visit the Silversides submarine, and visit various restaurants in Muskegon. My six-year-old daughter especially loved all of the sand out front as she had ample room to play without lugging toys over to the beach.. We loved our vacation and hope to book again!" Kelly S. "enjoyed a relaxing time at the beach with family- lovely area, right across from the beach and water. PERFECT place to stay. Enjoyed the local restaurants, ice cream, donut shops and morning walks."
