PERFECT for families!

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Dec 17, 2006
  • Stayed: Jul 2006
This home has truly everything you would want in a vacation home. Our family took our 1st (and 2nd!!) Family Vacations here with our very small children (6, 4, 2, 9 mos.). We couldn't have been more pleased. The place was exactly as described on the website and even better because the description did not stress how absolutely SPARKLING CLEAN the home is! We felt completely comfortable letting our children roam the house, play on the floor, sleep in the beautiful clean beds and ride their bikes on the quiet street! Access to Lake Michigan can be by bike, on foot or by car (30 second car ride). The beach is the cleanest we have experienced, was perfectly maintained and great for families.

The owner has gone out of her way to decorate and accessorize her home for families with many children. The Pottery Barn accents spoiled us and we are very hard to please!

Amazing Place

This is even better in person than on the website. The pictures do not do the cottage justice. When I saw the pictures on the website, I was amazed. When I saw it in person, I fell in love with the place. I was there for 8 weeks on business beginning in October, and wished I could have stayed longer. I was as comfortable as if I were in my own home.

My Extended Stay at Redbird Cottage

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: May 20, 2013
  • Stayed: Mar 2013
I recently relocated to the Muskegon area from Indianapolis, In. During the time it took for me to start my new job here and look for a house to purchase I stayed in the Redbird Cottage for the months of March and April 2013. Moving in was a breeze, the cottage was very well maintained with all of the amenities that I could possibly need and VERY, VERY clean. Jane S was fantastic to work with and made the entire process very easy for me. She offered me some insight to the neighborhood and Muskegon area. The neighbors were very pleasant and welcoming. Everyone had a smile, a wave or a "hello" at each encounter. The cottage was very quiet at night and I enjoyed many restful evenings. The high speed internet worked very well and kept me connected to family via email as well as allowing me to dive right in to work at night for my new position.
My family came to stay with me for a week during their spring break in April. They really enjoyed the beach that was just a couple of blocks away. I wish it could have been a little warmer so we really could have taken advantage of the setting. We played board games (Yatzee was their favorite) and watched a couple of the movies that were provided at the cottage.
I would recommend the Redbird cottage for anyone that would like a week away to unwind in a quiet comfortable setting, or to anyone that had a longer stay similar to my relocation. The cottage provided me all the comforts of my home as I truly enjoyed my stay.

A couple friends and I rented this charming cottage for three days mid-July as a quick Summer retreat from life.

The entire place is spotless, so clean we had no qualms whatsoever using the kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, etc.

Living spaces are cozy and comfortable. Backyard large and inviting, green and landscaped, with a good sized picnic table and a firepit. It is semi-private, though it does share a walkway with the property behind the house. The driveway is shared and the path from their to to the entrance of the other property goes through the backyard, around the firepit, but isn't overly intrusive.

Not too far from the beach. Walkable, if you don't mind a 10-minute stroll, and one somewhat busy road.

Owner was extremely helpful and pleasant, providing more accurate driving directions than Google, and exuding an extremely welcoming and friendly demeanor.

The kitchen was fully stocked for preparing meals, with a decent amount of cookware, and some general cooking supplies (a few herbs and spices available).

The neighborhood itself seemed a bit rundown as we drove in, some neighboring houses seemingly abandoned, but the property itself shines like a beacon amidst those darkened plots.

I would recommend this location to anyone, especially families. Very close to shopping and the beach and other daytime activities. And very conducive to relaxing afternoons and evenings either indoors or out.
