Perfect getaway in celebration of my parent’s 50th anniversary. Lovely home with immediate beach access and a short drive to all of the sites of Douglas and Saugatuck. Clean, comfortable and spacious with numerous areas to lounge and relax, both indoors and out. Would definitely return!

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home on the lake. The hosts were quick to answer a question we had about the property mid-stay. The master suite was especially lovely with a wonderful view of the lake. We spent every evening on the patio enjoying wonderful sunsets. My only caution would be to those who have mobility issues (either family members or pets) as there were a few steps to and from the property to the street. Overall, we had an absolutely lovely, peaceful stay here!

Great access to beach on Lake Michigan and close to Douglass and Saugatuck. House was very comfortable with beautiful views of the Lake. Conveniently furnished with lots of dishes, linens, nice TVs. We would definitely rent this location again!

Location is awesome. Really neat house right on the water. House is well stocked with all essentials to make it a great stay. Parking was a little awkward . You park on the street then climb down several flights of stairs and a wooden walkway thru woods to get to house.

This property has a lot going for it. The location is excellent. Right on the beach and beautiful sunset views. The home was very clean. Great bathrooms. Plenty of towels and everyday items like soap, paper towel and toilet paper. Tons of kitchen ware but many items are very worn. Needs some weeding out. Two of the wooden and two of the Adirondack chairs are broken, understandable at the end of the season, but should be removed. Not sure how anyone has been able to get the main tv in the living room to work (and we had two generations give it a go). Would have been nice to watch something other than the lower level smart tvs. There are a number of stairs to the actual cottage. Just something to note if you have any accessibility issues. Our major concern was the lack of responsiveness from the host. We arrived Saturday. On Sunday, it was apparent that the dishwasher was broken. We contacted the host and checked things that could easily fix the issue. We informed him that none of his suggestions corrected the problem and never heard from him again. We removed dishes from the dishwasher and hand washed dishes for the length of our stay. Expected more from a premier host and property. He should have had someone come to check the issue at some point during the week. He did not. Nor did he offer an apology for the inconvenience. Would have made this a truly five star experience.

Very nice beach side home with plenty of windows and plenty of stairs.Very nice deck. Parking can be a challenge with many of the spaces along the street marked "reserved" by surrounding homes.
