Boasting nautical decor, natural light, and high-end furnishings throughout, no one will have trouble slipping right into relaxation mode here as the fireplace crackles each evening. Step out to the backyard and you will find your own private oasis offering a large deck, lush greenery, and a firepit to sip a glass of wine beside each night.

Super clean house; great communications kept us informed all along the way; great location!
10.0 / 10.0
We had a bachelorette party of 7. Only a 7-10 minute walk to town. Location was perfect for our group. The beds are comfortable and the home was set up well for our stay. We spent time in the hot tub made s’mores on the fire pit. Marshmallow sticks were even available! We enjoyed our coffee sitting in the beautiful back yard. Shampoo, conditioner and soap were provided which was nice. Plenty of games available. Would absolutely recommend.

We met in Saugatuck for a family vacation and it was amazing! We walked into town several times a day and enjoyed how close it was to everything. We loved the back patio and hot tub! Wouldn't change a thing, it was a wonderful house and a wonderful town!

We loved staying in this house just a short walk to the social district. It was clean and a great layout for a family. We loved hanging out in the lovely backyard.

Serenity Now provided a clean, restful Lake Michigan retreat. The rental has new vinyl flooring throughout the home and two modern, clean bathrooms. All of the bedrooms are fully furnished with clean, comfortable beds. The master bedroom has an en suite bathroom providing additional privacy. The backyard space is private and nicely landscaped. Overall, relaxing, peaceful stay.

Hot tub, fire pit, bicycles, beach gear, beautifully landscaped back yard...all pluses to a well kept home! Three separate gathering areas inside, games, books, puzzles, comfortable beds, nice bathrooms, and a well equiped kitchen, right down to eztra freezer pa ks for the cooler!
A bit of trouble with the access code lock upon arrival, but it was quickly sorted out. And even though there were two coffee pots and two coffee stations inside,, we were wishing one was a keurig cup pot. The only thing we could find missing!!

Loved easy walk into town for restaurants and shops and evenings enjoying back yard hot tub and visiting around the fire table. House was perfectly appointed for four of us from around the country to gather in celebration of our 60th birthdays.

We had a wnderful, but too short stay in late October - early November. It was so nice being able to walk downtown to all the great restaurants and shops. We just wish we could have stayed longer!

The place smelled a luttle musty when we went in. But other than that everything was absolutely wonderful.
Too bad we got in too late and then next day too much rain for hottub use. Definitely would return
8.0 / 10.0
Overall a nice place. Plenty of space.
Hot tub was dirty. I didn’t want it cleaned while we were there. It should have been ready to use on arrival.
Black top was being applied directly across the street. Very noisy and stinky for the first day of our visit. No compensation given.

Great property. It was in the perfection location. We were close to food and shops and beaches. We were in town for the tulip festival in Holland and the drive was only 12 min from this house which was also perfect. The house provided everything we needed. Thanks for a great stay. Saugatuck is a beautiful town.

I didn't realize how much I needed to get away from the office. Staying at Serenity Now was the prescription I needed for the mental fog. The crisp sir, the quiet, was exactly what the dictor ordered.
The place area is quiet, quaint, and all essentials were in tack: plenty of towels, comfortable bed, etc.
You won't regret your stay

Walk to downtown, large kitchen with plenty of seating.
Siding on back of house needs to be cleaned. We called Vacasa during our visit to clean the hot tub.
10.0 / 10.0
Well equipped and comfortable cottage. Perfect for a couple or family to explore area around Saugatuck. The hot tub was ready on our arrival with easy access out the back slider or from the master bedroom.

The house was cozy and comfortable with great amenities! Easy walking distance to downtown Saugatuck and a quick drive to Douglas. Close to many wineries.
10.0 / 10.0
We've stayed in Saugatuck every year in different houses, and this was one of our favorites. The location was great, as we had views of the water and could walk downtown if we wanted to. We actually spent more time at this house due to the views and outdoor spaces. Everything in the house was clean and labeled! (not joking, cabinets and TV remotes were labeled, which honestly was super helpful.) Hoping to be able to rent this house next year again!

The house was dusty, when we moved the furniture (chairs), there were potatoe chips crumbs and dirt under the chairs. Also, the main washroom si k drained very slowly.

Perfect place for a ladies weekend!!
We have nothing but great things to say! Adorable house, with a great front porch view. So easy to walk out your front door and into the heart of Saugatuck! The living space is very useable, and comfortable. The beds were comfortable and the whole place was extremely clean! The back yard is quaint and great to gather or use the hot tub! Will definitely be back!

Loved the Location!
Loved the location of this house! Super easy walk into the heart of Saugatuck with great shopping and restaurants. The space was amazing and enjoyed the well appointed kitchen. The only real negative was the firepit. We were looking forward to enjoying it only to find out it would not start. I called the management company and was told someone would be out to fixt it, but it was not fixed.

Great with kids!
It was a good lake cottage, walking distance to downtown. Clean and the kids loved the bunk room! We appreciated the 2nd sitting room off the kitchen, it was perfect when the kids went to bed, the adults could hang out without waking anyone up!
The only strange thing was the dishwasher smelled like steak (even after several washes)! Ha

Serenity is the perfect name for this home!
This is a beautiful home right across from the water and a 4 minute walk into downtown Saugatuck. The beds were super comfortable and housekeeping did a wonderful job keeping the home immaculate. Serenity is the perfect name for this home as we loved the peaceful backyard setting, hot tub, and fire pit. The bikes in the garage were an extra surprise and we enjoyed riding bikes into town. We will definitely stay at the serenity house again ❤️

Great Location - Well Equipped, Comfortable Home
We loved the layout of the home for two couples and the well stocked kitchen. We were drawn to the hot tub and fire pit in the description. We would have easily rated Serenity Now, 5 stars if the hot tub would have been without debris and hotter and if the fire pit would have stayed on. Even so, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and loved everything else about the home. It was clean and inviting. The small sitting area off the kitchen was a great place to enjoy coffee and catch the news before heading out for new adventures. The kitchen was fabulous. There wasn't anything extra we needed to prepare our meals. They had everything. It was a bit chilly while we were there, so the fireplace was a big hit, and a great fallback when we couldn't get the fire pit to stay on. May need to check the thermal couple, the switch or something. The patio itself was a great area, and I wished it would have worked out for us to spend more time out there. Great job on the mood lights strung around the area. Nice garden feel.

Perfect for fun and relaxation
Wow! This was one of the most enjoyable vacation rentals we’ve ever stayed at! It was clean, the kitchen was incredibly well stocked for great cooking projects, beds were comfortable, hot tub was hot, backyard was beautiful, close to downtown and the lake. Would 100% stay here again!

Amazing Location
This home has an amazing location (the lake is across the street so you have GORGEOUS views from the front porch + views of the most adorable new little lake cabins) and a delightful backyard. The hot tub smelled off and was a bit murky so some of us chose not to use it. In all fairness, the hot tub is surrounded by beautiful nature and may be difficult to care for but it did not seem to have been cleaned prior to our arrival. We never reported this to Vacasa as we wanted to enjoy the two days we had there without service interruptions. The home was comfortable but would easily go from good to outstanding with a deep cleaning, upgraded linens, replacement of older/ripped furniture and some starter coffee. I would visit this home again as we had a great time but I do think a few improvements would go a long way!
