Quaint Saugatuck / Douglas located 8 miles south, downtown Holland a short 8 minute drive east. Both areas offer casual to fine dining, arts and crafts, unique shopping, concerts in the parks, well known Farmers Markets, miles of bike paths, dog parks and many other activities!
The weather and the beach were absolutely beautiful! The location was not great. There is no yard, and there is no dining table inside. Fortunately, we were able to eat dinners outside. Getting back in there is complicated as the road is one way and very narrow. This became a bigger challenge when a tree fell and blocked the entrance for a few days…but not typical. Overall, we made the best of things and had a great time!
We liked the house overall but it really needs some maintenance. No hot water when we arrived. Property manager responded to correct the problem. The deck was not usable due to lack of cleanliness. Washing machine was unreliable. No ironing board which made it challenging to prepare for our wedding-related activities. Someone else’s dirty clothes left in dresser drawer. Ants found throughout. Window cranks didn’t always work. Our family enjoyed the lake. It is a beautiful spot!
The property was absolutely perfect! We had family coming in from several states and needed a place to be together to celebrate our grandson‘s graduation. The rooms were perfectly laid out. We have places for babies, young children and adults! Access to the beach, the lighthouse and the beautiful sunsets was icing on the cake. Thank you so much for letting us use it!
We rented the cottage to get our children and grandchildren together. It was an excellent space for everyone to decompress, relax, and visit. The walk to the beach was doable for both the toddlers and there was a small playground right across from the cottage that helped tire them out. We spent a day each in Saugatuck and downtown Holland for shopping, both within a short drive. The cottage kitchen was well appointed and the grill was easy to use. The only issue we ran into was storms that caused the power to go out the 1st night there. And it wasn't really a problem but a good reminder to pack for emergencies, as well. There were no candles or flashlights in the cottage, but fortunately we had a flashlight and someone else had a couple of battery operated camping lanterns which saw us through until the power came back on. Overall, it was a great stay and we really enjoyed the cottage and the location!
Ideal for our family, 2 young children and 5 adults
Very clean, well maintained, great communication and location! It's a perfect tucked away spot with private beach to explore and relax / take in the sun. Wish downside was having to leave. The pictures are spot on and even the dog loved the house. Excellent patio to relax and listen to the wind and watch the deer. Thank you for the amazing service!!
We very much enjoyed this rental. Parking was easy and it was nice to have room for 5 cars. The house was very comfortable and having a great room/kitchen had room for all. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, appliances, etc. Host was super responsive. Would definitely stay there again.
This place is awesome! Plenty of space, clean and nice decor. Loved the house. Plenty of room and everything you need for a big family group. The Macatawa area is so interesting and fun to explore. I grew up on the east side of Michigan and never heard of it, so it was a very pleasant surprise. The short walk to the beach, down hill through a very unique neighborhood did not get old. The beach is amazing and the walk out to the lighthouse, at sunset was unforgettable. We stayed for a very warm week in May and needed to turn on the air conditioning but found it wasn’t working. We called Kathy and she had someone there to fix it within a few hours. Would love to go back again in the future.
Excellent house for our family which included 3 kids, 2 parents, and 2 grandparents, which could easily fit more. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances and such. The beach is maybe a 5 minute walk down the hill, which was very convenient. We could easily see coming back.
We had a great family visit in Macatawa. The home was just as advertised, with everything we needed. We loved the location; it was beautiful & a short walk to Lake Michigan. Listening to the waves on the lake at night was an added bonus. Prior to our visit, we studied some of the history of Macatawa & it's influence in L. Frank Baum's book, The Wizard of Oz.
