The location was perfect. Easy walk into town yet far enough away on a peaceful street. The house is not modern but has all the items you need. Outdoor space is great. Would stay again!

We had an amazing week in Saugatuck, the house was fantastic! Our host could not have been any better! Will absolutely stay here again !!!!!

The house is a short walk from downtown Saugatuck with shopping and restaurants. That was very convenient and what we wanted.

Great . Easy check in . Pleasant experience

Great home about 3 blocks from the start of downtown Saugatuck.. about a 10-15 minute walk. Found the house to be clean and in good condition although it is an older home as you can see by the pictures. Owners were prompt and responsive to our needs. We will likely be back to rebook!

Great location and quaint, old house on quiet street a few blocks from town. It worked for us as we have a dog and a two year old. Number one issue is a tv without an internet connection (aka no streaming). Besides that issue and a steep staircase in case you have kids, the house was good.

Great experience no issues whatsoever

What a perfect location! We could walk everywhere! Beds were all comfortable. Loved sitting on the front porch in the morning!

Very nice place to stay. Quiet, close to downtown, very enjoyable!love the screened in porch!

We had a lovely week's stay at Big Blue. The location was perfect for walking to town and restaurants. The pictures were very accurate of the home with a fabulous screened in porch for reading and relaxing. The hosts were very responsive and kind and loved that we actually got to meet in person. We would stay again!

The big blue is in a great location in Saugatuck. The house was clean and beds were comfortable .

Great location to walk to the downtown area. The kitchen and bedrooms are good. Lower bathroom is very tight, upper bath is bigger while shower is best for short people. Enjoyed spending time on the screened-in front porch. Back deck is good but seems it should have a few rails around the sides. Lounging at night was fine; living room furniture not real comfy and TV is limited without streaming technology (bring your own DVD's to watch). Building in the rear (garage & loft) is used by the owner/family so you may have unexpected visits. Overall, not a bad place to stay but could use a few updates and deep cleaning for the price.

A nice property close to everything but quite and peaceful too. Great communication with the host. Thanks

Very well maintained old-style cottage in a great spot, walking distance to everything. Chris and Ernie are great hosts!

Nice home with all the beach amenities you could think of. Would stay again!

I highly recommend this property. It was just as advertised.

Very nice house in a great location. Loved we could walk to so many local businesses, restaurants and the water!

We loved the house and it's location in walking distance to the shops and restaurants. It was just far enough away to feel a bit secluded and quiet. There was a lot of space for gathering on the screened porch or the patio out back and plenty of parking. Both showers were on the small side, so just something to be aware of.

There were four of us that spent the weekend at this lovely place within an easy walk of downtown Saugatuck. The place was exactly as shown in the photos and as discussed in the write-up on VRBO. We enjoyed our stay and plan to consider this place for future stays in the Saugatuck area.

This was perfect for our two families! We had two couples a small pup and an infant. So close to town - plenty of parking, yard space, cozy indoor space. The screened in porch was awesome for evening sitting. Very thankful for Chris & Ernie’s home.

We loved our week at Big Blue. It is just like the pictures and description. The screened in porch was a favorite for morning coffee and afternoon reading. The kitchen is well stocked making it easy for a few home cooked dinners. The location is perfect! Short walk to Water St and all stores and restaurants, yet quiet neighborhood to walk our dogs. We would definitely like to stay here again!

Thanks to Chris and Ernie for a great stay! Plenty of room for the family. The kitchen was spacious and had everything we needed and the screened in front porch was a nice feature!

Lovely property and owners! Cute screened porch and nice backyard. Short walk to downtown.

We had a fabulous 2 week stay at the Big Blue. The location is perfect as it is close to town yet just a few blocks away (so pretty quiet). The cottage had plenty of space for 4 adults and a dog. We loved eating all of our meals on the back porch, the front screened porch, or the big dining room table. The large table was perfect for our nightly dominoes games. The owners are very responsive and available if anything is needed. This was our 2nd trip to the Big Blue, and we will be back! Thanks!

We absolutely loved staying at this house. The location is close to downtown yet in a great neighborhood. The house features a great backyard and screened in porch. Kitchen was well stocked and there were lots of family games and puzzles. Steep stairway to upstairs bedrooms so anyone with difficulty walking should take the bedroom downstairs. Chris and Ernie were great hosts!! I would recommend this house and will return for future visits.

This house was the perfect place for us to spend the week in Saugatuck . Love the large kitchen, screened in front room and beautiful back yard. The location was perfect for a short walk to shops and restaurants and quick drive to the beach

We've been coming to Saugatuck for years and really enjoyed this location a bit closer to town, but far enough away to feel like a quiet retreat. It's a short jaunt up/down the hill to the river and main drag, and the neighborhood itself is lovely to walk or ride a bike around with cute well-kept homes and gardens to admire. Big Blue had plenty of room (and bathrooms) for us four adults and little dog. We never even turned on the TV, but there's a nice large one plus a selection of DVDs and such if you get a rainy day. Plus puzzles and books. We ate most meals on the main outdoor deck and enjoyed all the outside seating options and screened front porch. Large sturdy dining room table was perfect for evening cards and dominoes. We did wish the sprinklers were timed/set differently so as not to spray the front door and front porch furniture in the morning when we wanted to sit out there and have coffee. Maybe that can be adjusted :) (perhaps go on over night or before dawn?) Very spacious kitchen met our needs for light meals/lunch prep--has all the basics you need, including a dishwasher. It was kind of the owners to supply extra cleaning supplies and a bag of ice to get us started too. Also handy to have washer/dryer, because we didn't have enough towels, but didn't mind washing a few when needed either. We were a little worried about the small window a/c units keeping up, but after the first night (which was a hot one), they did fine and kept us comfortable for sleeping. An extra fan kept the airflow moving into bedrooms. Minor detail, but the laundry room was handy to store our cooler, and other odds and ends, so that's a bonus too. And the owners are very close by if you need anything--very responsive and prompt when we needed an extra key and paper towels. Bedrooms are nice sized with closets for luggage and hanging stuff if needed and, even with our dog crate, we had plenty of room. We really enjoyed our stay despite the COVID damper and hope to stay here again. Please be respectful of struggling small businesses and wear masks--it's such a small inconvenience to help keep workers safe and open...and so others can feel safe shopping there.

We loved the property. Very cozy and close to everything.

This property is exactly as pictured. It was clean, and very well situated so that we could easily walk to shops and restaurants. We have been coming to Saugatuck for years, knew our way around, and chose this cottage based on location. Renters should be aware that this is an old cottage with very steep stairs to upstairs bedrooms, and people with mobility limitations would need to sleep in the down stairs bedroom. Not a problem or us but worth noting for others.

This is our second time here. Love it, especially the screened in porch. Easy access to the town. Thank you Big Blue!!

Situated on a lovely street just a short walk or ride down the hill to town. Worked well for our family of four plus pup. Highlight was having morning coffee on the screened porch and catching a breeze. Even saw some playful deer out front in the early a.m. We loved Oval beach, the art barn, and strolling the shops & galleries around Saugatuck & Douglas. Easy communication with the host.

Chris was fantastic to work with. She was incredibly responsive and helpful, both before we arrived in Saugatuck, while we were there and even afterward, mailing me something that I had forgotten. In addition, the house had a great location- just a quick walk to town and in a very cute neighborhood. We loved the screened in porch and the big back yard and deck. We did find the house to be a bit outdated- in need of some new kitchen items like medium sized pans and a new can opener- and because the owner doesn't recycle, we had to bag our recyclables up and take them to be recycled via our car- but overall, our stay was a pleasure
