    We so enjoyed our vacation! The location was perfect, we liked being in a wooded area and it was a short ride to the shops. The house was immaculate. The furniture was comfortable and the beds were heavenly. The kitchen was fully stocked. It was nice to park in a garage, too. Doesn't get any better than this!

    Everything about this beautiful property was perfection. It was spotless and well-appointed. The decor was perfect. The location was close to downtown but afforded privacy too. We would stay here again and fell in love with Saugatuck. Rob the host was so kind and provided information on restaurants and things to do. He was even kind enough to call me when I had a question. Very pleasant, as was Jayne his property manager. They were both very accommodating. Highly recommend staying at this property. We hope to return soon!

    We loved our stay at River Groove! The house is very nice and comfortable, and we really enjoyed the hot tub and screened in porch. Host is very kind and friendly. Great location, only a short walk to the chain ferry, which we took daily to walk to restaurants and shops. The house is also close to Mt Baldhead, once you get to the top of the stairs, it’s a pretty easy walk to the beach. If you don’t want to do the stairs, I recommend driving rather than walking along Perryman St, it’s too narrow to be safe for pedestrians, no shoulder in many spots. We will certainly book this home again when we come back to Saugatuck!

    This home was perfect for our needs. While the main living area is open-plan, the bedrooms and porches offer cozy spaces, so you have the best of both worlds. The kitchen was well appointed, and all of the furnishings were nice. The location was just right for us. We felt close to everything but still in a quiet area. Communication with Rob was terrific.

    Four of us in the rental and all four loved it! The place was clean, had plenty of dishes, towels. We walked to the beach about 9 minutes but if you have lots to carry then better to drive. Walked to the chain ferry, walked to Mount Baldhead took the 300 steps up the dune, walked to the crows nest- what a fabulous view.We saw deer everyday by the rental. This place is so lovely, quiet. We hope we have the opportunity to stay here again.

    Wonderful house and excellent location. It has everything you need. The host, Rob, is great to work with.We walked to Oval Beach and Mount Baldhead. We took the Star of Saugatuck boat tour. We did the Dune Buggy ride which was fabulous. We also went to Holland and Fennville which are quick trips.I highly recommend this property!Nancy May, 2025

    This house rental exceeded all expectations. The property was spotless upon arrival — perfectly clean and clearly well-maintained. Communication with the owner was seamless from start to finish; they were prompt, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. We had an incident where we locked ourselves out after returning from dinner around 9:30pm, and Rob the owner was very responsive. He arranged for a locksmith person to come and solved the issue! We are very grateful for his generosity. In addition, the location was perfect — quiet and safe, and less than 15 minutes away from shops, restaurants, and local attractions (across the river). This would have been even less when the ferry would be open for the season. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay.

    We have stayed in this pristine property many times and can’t wait to return. Rob’s house is exquisite—beautifully decorated in mid century modern decor and still so cozy! You can’t beat the location and will be inspired to take many walks down to the water or through the woods and adjacent neighborhoods. The hot tub is incredible! Love this restorative place.

    What a great spot for our rare vacation…… close to lots of shops and restaurants but also slightly secluded and peaceful. The house was very clean and comfy- would highly recommend!
