The house is in a great location, you can walk to downtown Douglas, a short drive to Saugatuck and Holland - and several beaches. The open kitchen, dining and living space were great for our group and the backyard is lovely! We cooked several meals and the well stocked kitchen was appreciated!

Property was just as described. It was very well stocked with everything you may need. Loved the walking distance to downtown Douglas as well as a public fishing spot for my son. Only two negatives were the outside of the house/sitting area upstairs/windows were pretty dirty. Needs a good power wash. Also has an issue with the main TV upstairs and it was not fixed during our stay even though we asked for it to be.

Was a friends get-together with 5 couples. The place was clean, modern and we enjoyed the time in Douglas and Saugatuck thoroughly. Downtown Douglas is steps away from the house. We were able to view the lake across the house from the living room and the terrace. Will come again if Alex has availability of the home, as the drive from Detroit is easy. Alex was a great host and all the information left was easy to follow.

We had a fairly large group and the house was the perfect size to fit everyone comfortably and then some. There are a lot of amenities at the house itself and just a short walk or drive from local shops, coffee, & restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay!

We rented this home to host our quarterly retreat. There was plenty of space for us to spread out to sleep, space to meet, and space to hang out together in the basement. The home was clean and had everything we needed. Thanks!
