Beautiful home on a beautiful property. We had 20 guests and never felt crowded due to the many different areas to relax/hang out. Quick drive to nearby beaches and downtown shopping. Great place and would highly recommend!
This property is nice and has lots of Family Friendly activities. The owner; Kristi is very responsive. We had cousins reunion here; 5 families with small kids. Pros: Beautiful property with Large pool with Fence. Hot tub as well. Large Fire pit is great for smores. Swing/Play set and Treehouse in the back. Farm house in the back with Outdoor kid stuff. The screened in Porch with 2 large swing Beds was my favorite spot. Lots of kids toys in the house to keep the kids occupied along with pool table. Large Family gathering areas and large Kitchen with outdoor Deck seating as well. Cons: They want the Temperature of the house to be at 70 or higher. If we are paying all this money to stay in this house, we should be allowed to adjust the temp as we please. During our stay at the house, the owner messaged me via the app and asked me to make sure that the hot tub is covered and the outdoor umbrellas are closed. I couldn't figure out how she would know this and then realized she has cameras outside. I found this intrusive and bothersome as we are on vacation. I have rented many homes and this was a first. The owner appears to live here part of the time so they have most of the closets locked, so there isn't anywhere to hang your clothes. It also says it has 3 bathrooms, but more like 2.5. The second bathroom on the first floor has very small shower. I would also bring: dishwashing pods, dish soap, hand soap, laundry pods and dryer sheets.
The property fit our family very well. We had 10 adults and 6 children under the age of 7. The screened in porch was a big hit for game night, early morning play time, naps for some of the adults. Every family member had a bed and bedroom which was very nice. Kitchen was fully stocked and we ate in almost every meal. Pool and hot tub was a big hit. We found the pool heater breaker off which made the pool an icy 60 degrees, worked with Kristi and turn the heater on which made swimming much nicer for everyone. We made a few campfires and roasted marshmallows, plus we used the barn and had a couple of work out mornings (cross fit style) The trip to Oval Beach was approx 15 minute drive from the house. Overall, we had a wonderful time
We truly enjoyed our stay at this home. The pictures and details regarding this VRBO were accurate but may not show how beautiful and roomy the home is. Our family of 15 ranged in age from 71 years to 5 years and everyone had a great time! The sleeping arrangements were great - especially for our 7 grandchildren. The other bedrooms were spacious and beds were very comfortable. The grand kids loved the lower level that had toys, TV, pool table, basketball and enough room for all of them to enjoy and not feel closed in. The kitchen and eating areas are spacious and we truly enjoyed the screened porch area with the large table - the adults ate all of our meals there. Also, the porch's two bed swings were awesome for naps!! The highlight for everyone was the large swimming pool, hot tub and spacious deck! All were clean and the water was clear. The kids also had a great time on the trampoline, outdoor play area and toys in the large shed! The highlight for the kids was exploring the woods behind the home. The VRBO homeowner kept in touch to make sure all was going well. We truly had an excellent home to make wonderful memories with our family. Thanks so much!
We loved our stay here. The warm pool and hot tub were perfect in the summer heat. The kids loved the basement too
Stayed here with 9 other friends. Place was super nice and massive. So much to do both inside and outside the house. Biggest plus was the communication from the host. She was very responsive during the weeks before our trip as well as during the stay. Not only that, she tried her best to accommodate requests we had. My friends and I have been on quite a few trips like this and this was probably the best place we stayed at. Only issue I'd say was that the host told us there might not be enough propane so we went and bought a tank, but then later she realized there were already couple tanks in the garage. Aside from that, just a pleasant experience overall, and i absolutely recommend this place. It would be hard not to love it.
Every year we have a golf trip for 10-12 people and we look for a house that serves our needs as a group. This house really had it all. Great location to a lot of good, local courses. The house had plenty of beds and almost everyone had their own room. Weather was warm enough to use the pool and the hot tub was perfect for a good soak after playing 36 holes. We tend to make all of our meals and the kitchen was stocked with all the utensils, pans, and everything else we needed to make some wonderful dinners. It’s a quiet area that really feels like you are alone with just your group. House was very clean and spacious. The owner was quick to respond to our questions and made us feel very welcome. Would highly recommend this house for a golf trip but also seems like a great place for multiple families to enjoy a week away from the city. Great rental, hoping we can use it again in the future!
Beautiful property, lots of activities for all ages. Pool was a hit. Unable to sleep in one of the beds downstairs, sister and bro in law had to move mattress to the floor.
We stayed at Kristi’s with some friends and had the BEST time ever. She was extremely helpful and communicative the whole time and the property/house was gorgeous, even better than it looks in pictures. We would absolutely stay again. Thanks so much!
We stayed at this property with a group of couples who all had young children (aged 9 months to 6 years). It was a great spot for us—the home has tons of different activities for children and adults and is very secluded for privacy. The owner Kristi was great about communicating and addressing any needs at they came up. I think this house is perfect for a similar large group who wants to spend time together but also have easy access to the beaches and attractions in and around Saugatuck.
Plenty of space inside and out to spread out We had 30 for a catered meal and had plenty of room for a sit down meal Pool and kids stuff was perfect for 3-12 year olds
The property overall is great. Fit five families with young kids nicely, though with only three bathrooms it was pretty tight with that many people. Lots of kids games and great spaces. Pool was a highlight as was the multiple outdoor spaces to lounge for adults after hours. Very nice property for kids to spread out. For us the downside was location relative to cost. It’s close enough to Saugatuck, but still a 10 minute drive and in an isolated area. For the nightly charge it was pretty pricey relative to the ease of accessing amenities. The other downside—and this maybe more a matter of our preference—was the fact that this appears to be a families’ home most weeks of the year. I think this resulted in a bit more oversight from the property owner than I’d expect. There were, for example, security cameras that were operating (but apparently not recording—though I’m not sure what this means, as I assume the cameras capture footage for a period of time), in and outside the house. We didn’t think that was all that appropriate. There was also a prominent sign that they monitor the thermostat settings. Neither of these has any material negative effect on our trip, but it did make it a bit awkward. Overall a great property that we really enjoyed. I’m not sure we would go again given the price to value ratio, but still a very nice place.
This was a great escape. Very relaxing. so much to do at the house, we almost didn't feel the need to explore the area! The owner was accessible by email, and responded quickly to a question we had.
Very nice and relaxing home. Multiple spaces to lounge and would be perfect for family groups with kids of all ages - lots of options for younger children and teens. Extensive number of bedrooms and the beds were comfortable. Would definitely book again if the occassion arises.
We had a wonderful time at Kristi's home! It's a beautiful house with a great property. Lots to do - pool, hot tub, yard space! Kristi was also an excellent communicator - we're keeping their home in mind for our next trip!
