About this cottage rental
Bailey Sands is an adorable cottage on a private drive, just across the street from the beautiful Pere Marquette Beach, the large public beach in Muskegon, Michigan. Walk the beach to the beach BBQ restaurant, or down the wooded trail just behind the cottage for a nature adventure. Close to nature, beach and trails, but yet isolated enough for optimal safety. Enhanced disinfection and cleaning procedure will also give you peace of mind. Beach has playground equipment and vendors that sell ice cream and drinks. There is a dog beach down the way, and dogs are allowed in the wooded sand dunes as well. Short drive to Michigan Adventure Amusement Park, or the many breweries and wineries located in this part of West Michigan. Bailey Sands has 2 bedrooms-1 queen, 1 full/twin bunk, and pull out couch. Bath includes bathtub shower. Fully furnished kitchen, gas grill, fire pit, all the items you'll need for the beach, sand box for the kiddies, extended back private deck, and large 3-season front porch. Cottage has high speed internet, an antennae for local channels, and smart tv with Netflix. Cottage has central heat and a large window air conditioner. Parking for two standard vehicles right at cottage, space on nearby street for others.
The cottage is all season; this area has amazing winter outdoor activities including a public luge, nearby excellent sledding, and ice skating as well as cross country trails.
Summers starting in 2018 will be week to week, from Saturday to Saturday (Mid June-Labor Day).

Perfect location. Love walking the beach with pup.
We had campfires every night. So cozy.

I grew up in this neighborhood, so I was already in love with this area. The Lake Michigan views are exceptional. This little cabin is rustic, so if you're looking for an updated modern chic decor and amenities, you should stay in a newer condo but you won't enjoy the beautiful Lake Michigan experience that this little cabin offers.

Love the location, front porch and privacy in the backyard area. Would rent again. The kitchen could use a new toaster and some of the window screens had holes and could be taped. We enjoyed our stay

Bailey Sands is the PERFECT location for a Summer Vacation ! Just across the street from the beautiful Pere Marquette Park/Beach (Lk Mi) we all loved the convenience to be able to easily walk back and take a break from the sun/sand/water mid-day. Very quiet surrounded by other nice, friendly rentals as well so as a single mom traveling I felt safe. The cabin itself was much nicer and more affordable than a hotel room, we had plenty of space to spread out and relax, I enjoyed morning coffee on the screened front porch as well as the back deck, evening bonfire was fun as well. The cabin has plenty of supplies to make the stay smooth and easy.
And there is plenty to do close by....
Definitely check out The Deck bar/restaurant -excellent food, fun atmosphere with beach games, and live music.
Dockside Donuts was a big hit (just a short drive into town) The Lavender Latte was delicious and donuts were so fresh fun flavors! Lombardo's pizza was another spot we tried..don't skip the Dill Pickle Pizza....AMAZING!
All of us had a wonderful time! Memories were made and we are excited to return/stay again!

We booked the sister cottage last spring for Mother’s Day and had such a great experience we immediately came home and booked Bailey Sands for my birthday week. What a nice little cottage. Super clean, plenty of seating and comfy beds. Had a nice relaxing fire after a day of shopping and dinner at kazumis. Five stars!!

Perfect for Family of Four
The cottage was exactly what we expected based on description and photos. Clean, easy check-in. Had everything we needed, even firewood and marshmallow roasting sticks for the fire pit! I most enjoyed the enclosed front porch with the screened windows open, and a small view of the beach/lake. One of our box fans did not work, but the property manager quickly brought a replacement. With fans in both bedrooms, and the porch and bathroom doors closed, most of the cottage stayed fairly cool. Proximity to beach was fantastic, but it is also easy to get out to other locations when desired. Two restaurants and a nice WWII submarine museum are within walking distance, as well as the channel and walk out to the small lighthouse. We enjoyed hiking dunes and woods off the end of Nelson St. Very relaxing trip for us!

Great Getaway:
Great location; well maintained, super clean, nice walking neighborhood, so nice to be so near our beautiful Lake Michigan. A classic beach cottage. Perfect for a small group or family. The only negative was having difficulty with the lockbox. It is old and should be retired for a new model.

Parking is very tight!

Great place to stay!!
It’s very pet/family friendly. The lake is less than five minutes away. There is construction at the time. My dogs have never been around sand. Me and my husband found out our dogs love sand. We are thinking about coming next year.

Clean and Close to the Beach
Bailey Sands was just the place for my family of 4 to have a short getaway. The cottage was clean and just the right size. The beds were comfy and the kitchen had everything that we needed to cook food on site, including oil, a toaster, tea kettle and even some spices! The proximity to the beach was perfect and the outdoor spaces gave the kids a place to dig and play when we were not at the beach. The host was communicative and gave us many details to make our stay enjoyable. We would stay again in a heartbeat!

beautiful relaxing home away from home....
It is so close to the water and beach. The place was clean and cute. We had everything we needed and was great for kids. We went when it was after swimming season, but we still enjoyed the parks and the beach. Our host was super and very responsive. The time away was great.

Siblings vs vacation
This is a nice cottage. Exactly as shown in pictures. It was set back from the road so we didn't get a lot of street noise. We would of used the beach more, but weather disallow us to. There were lots of other things to do in the area that kept us occupied. I would rent this cute cottage again.My

Great spot
Overall a great experience. Across the street from an uncrowded beach. Everything you’d need within short driving distance. Lots of playgrounds around. Picture of the house with the lake/beach view is somewhat misleading, as you have to cross a semi busy street to get to the beach, but overall not a big deal.

Great little place!
I so enjoyed my stay at Bailey Sands! It was just what I wanted and needed. The perfect little get away! I went back home to visit family before the weather turns into winter and my timing was perfect. The location was perfect for me. On the beach, and close enough to every where I had to go for the week. I will be staying here again. Thank you Tara!
