Poolside Escape | 5 Bed, 2 Bath

We limit our reservations to Family Groups Only!

Address: 1742 W Norton Ave Muskegon, MI 49441

Private pool and close to Lake Michigan? It's the best of both worlds! This beachy home will have you feeling like you're on vacation from the moment you pull up. Thoughtful touches and bright colors welcome you when you walk in, but the backyard is the treat you've been waiting for. Relax in the lounge chairs while the kids play in the pool.  Use the gas grill to a meal and at night, sit around the fire roasting hotdogs and talking about the day. If you want a beach day; Lake Harbor Park and P.J. Hoffmaster State Park are just a short drive away. Norton Shores is nestled between Muskegon and Grand Haven, making this home the perfect spot to explore Lake Michigan beachside towns.

This home offers 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a cozy living area, and a newly remodeled basement. The main floor has 3 bedrooms featuring a king bed, a queen bed, and a twin over full bunk. The lower level has 2 bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with a twin over full bunk. Each level has a bathroom. The basement also has a great rec room with a ping pong table and TV. The pool is open from Memorial Day to the end of September. Pool is not heated. This is not a pet friendly property.

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!

Great location Pool was awesome!
Our family had a wonderful stay at Poolside escape. This house was centrally located to Muskegon and Grand Haven. It’s a short drive to PJ Hoffmaster State park, and we had a wonderful day on the beach that’s located in this park. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy fun in the sun. It was nice to go back home and enjoy a quiet evening and swim in the beautiful pool.

Lake Michigan Family Get Away
Poolside Escape was the perfect accommodation for our 10 person family getaway (6 adults & 4 children). The location was central to all that the area has to offer and it was great to come 'home' to a relaxing pool. Check-In/Check-Out process was smooth and straightforward.

Great pool short drive from Lake Michigan and downtown Muskegon
This house is about the pool. Great in ground pool and patio! Inside is clean and simple. Photos are pretty accurate. Great coffee house/bakery within walking distance. Only notes I would share is don’t plan on having an adult in the top bunks of the bunk beds. It’s very close to the ceiling. And bring extra camp chairs, you will want them for the living room and backyard for around the pool or fire pit.

Family Getaway
While the location of the home was convenient we had issues regarding the pools cleanliness. We were informed the pool was cleaned the day we arrived. However, the water was very cloudy and you could not see the bottom of the pool. The management confirmed they spoke with the company and it was cleaned. Unfortunately when we did attempt to swim we found lots of debris, trash and toys. The pool never did clear up and we never received any follow up communication when we sent photos of the trash and debris we found. We also found popsicle wrappers in one of the beds and the power to the garage was shut off. Overall the house was nice and served our family for our stay, we were just overall disappointed in the state of the pool and lack of follow up with our concerns.

Nice house
Nice house overall, beds were comfy, house was clean. Landscaping needs a lot of work, backyard consisted of dirt & weeds. Pool was clean. Basement was nice with a great bathroom, upstairs bathroom needs remodeled and it would definitely be a plus for another couch or two in the gathering areas. One couch for 8 of us didn’t make for comfy movie watching & sadly we had a lot of rainy weather. Good location, close to everything but on a busy road so a little noisy & hard to back out. At least 3 nice beaches within 10-20 min drive.

Nice pool
It was pretty much what the on line pictures showed. Pool was the best selling point and it did not disappoint. It was very clean. The bathrooms were not clean when we got there. Some of the sheets were stained. Kitchen was sparse. Glad I brought some of my own pans.Never did find pot holders. All and all we all had a great time. Neighbor was quiet for being on a busy road.

Great Vacation House
This is a great house for a family vacation! 5 full bedrooms, 2 full baths stocked with plenty of towels for everyone, and the kitchen is stocked with everything you need for cooking. We would spend all day at the beach, (Muskegon Beach just 3 miles away) and come home for dinner and swimming in the pool. This was our 5th year in a row for an extended family vacation to Lake Michigan, and it was a unanimous vote, this was the best place of them all, and we will be coming back next year!

Great location
The house is located in area that was close to everything. It's close to the beach and downtown. It was great having the pool to relax by. We really enjoyed the ping pong table. We arrived late at night and the following morning we found the internet and electricity wasn't working in the family room. When we contacted the rental property, they were quick to respond and fixed it so we could use it during our stay. The only complaint would be that it needed vacuuming under the furniture an the bathroom shower knobs need to be repaired. Otherwise it was a great stay.
