We are here for you during your stay, but our level of interaction is completely up to you. We’re only a phone call/message away. You will be able to check yourself in upon arrival.
There are so many great things to do in the area. Once you have made a reservation, you will receive a link to your customized guidebook, but here are a few of our favorites in the meantime:
☞ Take a hike at nearby Mount Baldhead Park
☞ Bike into town, grab a cup from Uncommon Coffee Roasters and explore the cute shops on Butler Street
☞ Head to Fenn Valley Vineyards for a wine tasting
Other than the locked “owner’s closet” that just has boring stuff in it anyway, nothing is off limits so make yourself at home. Feel free to use the 2-car garage, bikes, and backyard.
Welcome to your home away from home here in Saugatuck! The first thing you'll notice is how sparkling clean the house is. That's because we partner the absolute best cleaning partners in the biz. Next you'll be amazed how much bigger the home is than it looks in the pictures.
The Main Floor is where the adults will spend most of their time, between the fully stocked kitchen, sitting area with smart TV, or my personal favorite the Four Seasons room with windows on three sides. Sadly, the windows are inoperable for the safety of our guests and the ears of our neighbors. There's also the king master suite and a queen bedroom on the Main Floor, easy for anyone who doesn't do well with stairs.
Additional highlights:

~Large front porch w/ Adirondack chairs for sipping coffee in the morning

Most guests come and go by car, but if you’re flying in, Gerald R. Ford International Airport (GRR) is a 47 minute drive. There’s also the Holland Station for Amtrak. Once you’re here, most folks get around by car, but the bikes we have at the house are also a great way to get into town.
Please remember that you’re staying in a house, not a hotel. Please treat the space, the surroundings, and the neighbors with respect. For us and our neighbors, the most important thing is to be seen but not heard, especially after dark. What that means is we adhere strictly to the quiet hours 10:00 PM - 8:00 AM. Noise and talking from the rear patio, and even the four seasons room with the sliders open, carries very well, so if you are enjoying this space at any time, please keep your voices to a close, conversational volume. We have noise monitoring devices that will alert us if the noise is an issue. We also have neighbors who will alert us if noise becomes an issue.
Other than the need for our guests to play and enjoy the outdoor space at a reasonable volume, our house rules are pretty standard. No pets, no smoking, don't burn the house down. That kind of thing.
We DO NOT allow pets. We love animals and we know you love yours, but we cannot afford the cost to clean and maintain furniture and interiors associated with allowing pets.
Important: We are committed to protecting our properties and keeping up-to-date with short-term rental regulations, which is why you may be asked to complete our independent verification through our partner Superhog/Know Your Guest. Please expect an email and/or text from Superhog shortly after making your reservation with a link to complete the guest verification and purchase the $35 accidental damage waiver. This covers you for any damages that may occur up to $500.
Grill & Fire Pit: Both are propane fueled. Guests are responsible for getting their own propane tank(s). Guests often leave an empty one at the house, so our recommendation is to go to the house first and see if there are any low or empty tanks. Here are some options for new and/or tank refills:

The house was perfect for us. Our group was from three different states; gathering for a wedding. The house was perfect for our stay. PLENTY of room and well appointed.
We would definitely recommend and would stay again!!
5.0 / 5.0
This home has everything you need for large families or large groups of friends. All of items mentioned in the listing were accurate. The spacious living spaces were filled with all the items needed for a great time! The kitchen is fully stocked. The beds were all extremely comfortable. The home is located close to town in a quaint, quiet neighborhood. The property manager was very attentive to questions. I would recommend this home to anyone who would like to visit the area.

Our daughter was getting married at a nearby venue at the Felt Estate and we needed a home that could accommodate our family and my Mother and Father in law. This was the perfect house. It was well stocked with anything you could need including a professional steamer that we were able to use on the wedding dress. The bridesmaids were able to get hair and make-up done with room to spare. Every bedroom is spacious with very comfortable beds. Check in and out was easy. Ian was prompt in answering any question I had. Eva is the owner and is equally lovely. We had a lovely weekend and I highly recommend this home. The garage was filled with beach toys bikes and 2 coolers. Multiple families could stay here very comfortably
I definitely would return
5.0 / 5.0
Great amenities! It looks like you put a lot of thought into everything that anyone would want in a VRBO rental. We had a slow drain in one of the showers, we called the host at 11am and a plumber was there by 1pm!
Well worth it!
5.0 / 5.0
Everything about the stay was flawless. The instructions and communication prior to arrival were complete and clear. The property was clean, stocked with basic necessities and the location is better than what is in the listing description!! So incredibly spacious and had everything we needed and more!! Perfect stay for our Sons Wedding just 8 min away!! Definitely will be back!!

Big home with excellent toys for one year old to adults. Play area set up for little ones. Foosball and Shuffleboard for adults. Outside games available. Tommy Bahama beach chairs. No need to bring your own. Be sure to check out interurban bus for a ride to and from Oval Beach. Traffic was crazy to drive there. $1 each to ride the bus that picks you up. Gather in grill area, basement rec room, three season room and front porch. Big kitchen with lots of seating at the kitchen table. We barely rode our bikes, not really a bike friendly area, at least for road bikes. In the area we enjoyed eating at Southernly, going on a river cruise, and especially liked the dune ride. We also found a set of 8 pickleball courts in Douglas. Of course, all the very cute shops. Great days here with our three adult kids and their families… 😃😃
5.0 / 5.0
We loved our stay at Evas place. The front yard and driveway were perfect for young children play (including scootering!). Nice quiet street.
Great option of 2 fridge spaces and 2 washer/dryers. Basement full of toys for kids.
Only complaint was the floors. Made our feet and socks black. Likely due to too much soap just moving dirt around vs actually cleaning. House has had some love overall but the location and size was great!
5.0 / 5.0
Our family has stayed at this property twice now. We love the house and the town. The owner/manager are very responsive and helpful.
5.0 / 5.0
The house was perfect for a girl’s getaway. There was room to spread out as well as room to come together. The back room with all of the windows. Perfect for socializing with a glass of wine in the evening and reading with coffee in the morning. The house is well stocked with anything you might need. We really appreciated the beach chairs to be able to go watch the sunset at Oval Beach. Ian was always quick to respond to questions, and with suggestions for places to eat, drink, and enjoy in the area. I highly recommend this house and the hosts
5.0 / 5.0
This is the perfect property for our annual family gathering in Saugatuck. Our host, Eva, and property manager, Ian, provide a perfect environment for rest, relaxation, and enjoyment of Michigan's West Coast. The house is spacious, well-maintained, and stocked with all the dishes, cooking utensils, and beach equipment that you will need for your stay. We had 11 people in our group and could have easily accommodated more. Our family loves the property and the hosts and will be returning for our 7th stay next summer.
5.0 / 5.0
Great house. Plenty of space to enjoy and spread out. All well organized. Kitchen was well equipped with pretty much everything you need. Loved all the kids toys etc.
beach towels were perfect. Just packed them in u the car and off to the beach. Nice to have bikes
5.0 / 5.0
The house is in a fairly quiet neighborhood with adequate outside space for parking and play. Very close to the downtown area and two great beaches. They have beach supplies in the garage which was very convenient. Inside space was nice and well maintained with plenty of room for our group. We had a little issue with electricity in one room but the property manager was very responsive and had somebody out to fix it right away. Overall a good experience for us.

As advertised. Neat, clean and well equipped.

Choosing this VRBO for our daughter's wedding was an absolute blessing. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the spaciousness of the property. The rooms were clean, and the entire place exuded a welcoming atmosphere that instantly made us feel at home. The location couldn't have been more convenient. Situated close to both the wedding venue (Ivy House) and downtown amenities, we found ourselves within easy reach of everything we needed. Whether it was last-minute errands or simply enjoying a leisurely stroll in the neighborhood, the VRBO's location was ideal. Speaking of space, this property provided more than enough room for our entire family and extended family. With multiple bedrooms and common areas, everyone had their own space to relax and prepare for the wedding festivities. The kitchen was well-equipped, allowing us to prepare meals together and enjoy some quality family time amidst the wedding excitement. Communication with the host was great throughout our stay. From booking to check-out, they were responsive and accommodating, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a seamless experience. Their attention to detail and hospitality truly enhanced our stay and made us feel valued as guests. Our experience at this VRBO was nothing short of wonderful. Clean, spacious, conveniently located, and with a host who goes above and beyond, we couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special occasion. Thank you!

Perfect for a large family stay. Inside play area for children of all ages. So nice to have beach gear and towels so we didn’t have to haul it from home.

The house was perfect! If you’re traveling with children, it has everything you need. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and the four season room was amazing!
5.0 / 5.0
What a fabulous house! We had 15 in our group and we all had a cozy bed to sleep in. The house is very spacious and clean. The decor is cute and the kitchen offers just about anything you’d need. An added perk were the many beach chairs, umbrellas and towels in the garage we used to head to Oval Beach. I’d absolutely recommend this house!

This is our second time staying on this great house. We had 3 families (6 adults and 9 kids) and the house was perfect for us. Plenty of space to hang out together and to spread out! Comfortable beds and fully stocked kitchen. The house is super clean and well maintained. Extra fridge in the garage was awesome. Location is great and the owner is super responsive. We would highly recommend!

Very well set up - roomy for 9 girls. Kitchen has tons of cookware. Bedrooms were very nice. Large dining table for ten. Didn’t use the front porch or outside space due to weather but did walk downtown. Had a great time here.
5.0 / 5.0
The place is nice and quiet and tucked back in the woods. Condition of the house is in good shape and very accommodating for large groups of people. Very loud in the evening hours after 10:00 p.m. you may want to search elsewhere as it's very quiet in the neighborhood. Overall it was a great experience!
5.0 / 5.0
The property was in excellent condition. It had adequate supplies and was located in a beautiful area.
5.0 / 5.0
We are so glad that we booked this house so that several families could stay together for a long weekend. It was clean and organized, had lots of things to do for both adults and children (including infants), and had plenty of space for everyone to relax. In addition to bedrooms and bathrooms on each story, there was lots of available storage, a nice kitchen with adjacent open dining, and a great porch and backyard area
The owner proactively communicated to ensure our needs would be met, and she is very responsive to any questions throughout the stay. The house is in a very comfortable, quiet neighborhood that is a pleasant stroll away from downtown Saugatuck. This is very convenient since downtown parking fills up quickly on the weekend. We also found plenty to do at the house when we weren’t out exploring. There are toys for younger kids and games for older ones.
This house was a great choice for our family to make some memories and see a new place. Highly recommend!

This home was great for my large group. The sleeping arrangements are comfortable and spacious. The host is extremely kind and responsive. The only issue I had was with the cleanliness of the property. The walls were dirty and it looked like the cleaning crew rushed to clean the home, the carpet also had a lot of stains.

The house was perfect except for cleanliness. There were hairs in the bathtub the cabinets were all filthy to touch you stick to them! There was no soap in the showers. The carpet was filthy.
5.0 / 5.0
This house, owned by Eva, is in a quiet neighborhood (not in the city walking area) and has enough room for 3 families. I was able to have my daughter and son and their families gather with us. The back sunroom was our favorite spot, with so much light and beautiful landscaping. The kitchen is well stocked with quality dishes, etc.
My only concern was the 3 shower/bath areas, which were a little awkward to get in and out of.
The house is very clean. We enjoyed the outdoor area where we could play many games.

Wonderful house in a wonderful area.
We were a group of eight women and we all had our own bed!
The house had everything you could possibly want/need. The owner, Eva, could not have been nicer or more accommodating. She answered every question promptly and efficiently. We would absolutely stay here again.
