Lake Michigan Getaway
The property was great, even better than the pictures. We enjoyed our stay and the local restaurants and breweries. Our dog loved the beach and swam every day. We would definitely stay here again when we come back to Muskegon.

Enjoyable quiet location
We enjoyed our stay at the house, it was very clean and in good condition. The only disappointing thing was that the listing said the master bedroom had a king bed. One of the earlier reviews said it didn't. So I called to verify and was told it did indeed have a king size bed. Well it didn't, it only had a queen size bed. Other than that, it's a great home with a great location/view of the lake. It's also close to lots of places to eat, shop, and just visit. We would stay here again if we are ever in this area.

August Review 2023
Pros: - private beach -decent price, looks like this will increase next year though. -House had almost everything we needed in terms of grill, utensils, plates etc. Cons: - listing was inaccurate, master bedroom had a full size bed and not a king - NO AIR CONDITIONING, this should have been the first thing in the description. There was fans, but it was very difficult to sleep and be inside when it was so hot. - Broken furniture that wasn’t addressed, luckily we found additional seats in the garage. - We had to reach out to get the door code, wifi, etc. would have been nice to have all that before we arrived. - Outdoor shower didn’t work for us, there was no pressure. In short, it was a fun place and we enjoyed our vacation. Just wasn’t what we originally thought based off tue description.

Beach is awesome and close to everything in Muskegon. House was great, but would have liked to ahead of time that it doesn’t have air conditioning. Fam had a great week.

Beach getaway
We had a wonderful time at Idlewild! The house was very clean, plenty of room for our group of eight, but the main attraction was the private beach! The views and location were unbeatable.

Ahhhh, Summer on Lake Michigan!
We loved the beautiful view of Lake Michigan, and to be able to walk to the private beach - amazing! The house is well appointed - we cooked most nights and had everything we needed, including use of the gas grill. Lots of towels were provided - very appreciated! Beds were comfortable - we all slept well. I was surprised that such a modern house didn't have a/c, but plenty of fans were provided, and after the storm came through the first night we were there (which was so cool to see come in over the lake) it was cool enough that we didn't really miss the a/c. Lots of fun stuff to do nearby, too. Thanks for a delightful vacation!

Very Relaxing Getaway
From the moment we drove up to the house, it was like we were the only people around. The house was beautiful. My compliments to the interior designer. Having a private beach was absolutely the best. We hated to leave but looking forward to booking this house again.

The location is amazing and access to the private beach is worth everything. Being able to sit down with a cup of coffee and enjoy Lake Michigan was great. We did have a couple of issues during our stay with broken furniture and cleaning. The owners were responsive and accommodating.

Relaxing Stay
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful lakefront home in Norton Shores! The space was very clean and comfortable. The views of Lake Michigan are amazing. Our family slept really well and had easy access to the beach, surrounding parks and enjoyed the nightly sunset views. The kitchen was well appointed - we cook at every meal - they didn't have a chef's knife/knife set or a pizza cutter. Almost everything about the property description was accurate - except: there is a queen size in the master bedroom not a king size bed. We were disappointed because we were anticipating a king size bed. Also, there is not a third bathroom - there are only 2 full bathrooms. These are arguably major items to misrepresent if the guests are expecting a larger bed and a 3rd bathroom. One last thing to mention is that we enjoyed the small neighborhood setting surrounding this home - only about a dozen homes on the street and it was very private, quiet and safe.
