    This was the perfect place to stay for a change of pace and scenery at the end of a busy summer. I'm not sure I've ever stayed in a vacation rental that is so well-stocked in the kitchen with cookware, spices and food storage materials. This made things so incredibly easy. Space is limited, but it's so well organized that it doesn't feel that way. The three-season room was a lovely place for meals, and the deck was a lovely place to sit and enjoy visits from the neighbor deer. Highly recommend.

    Small but well stocked condo with great screened in porch and landscaped yard. In beautiful, less developed area walkable to Lake. Perfect for a beautiful beach get away.

    The cottage is cozy and comfortable . Lots of games for rainy days but also a great deck for cooking out. We had s’mores at the fire pit each night. So, so close to Walking to Douglas beach.

    The property and location exceeded our expectations! Jackie sent a message beforehand and it was so easy to check in and get situated. While we enjoyed our time in downtown Saugatuck and Oval Beach, we really loved the neighborhood and Douglas Beach.Great for walks and riding our bikes. The cottage was so comfortable, we would definitely stay again!

    We had a fantastic time on our trip. The location was great The house was just a short walk to the public beach area and a 5 minute drive to Saugatuck. The house was really well-stocked with everything that we could possibly need. The kids (7 & 10) had the best time and busied themselves with all of the board games. They declared that they want to go back to this place.
