Historic Sea Captain's Home best location downtown

Our family have been staying at Heathcote for many years. It fits our family perfectly! Closer to town for the teenagers (and adults). Plenty of living space and our dogs are welcomed.

Just a fantastic home to stay in. The owners have kept the beauty and feel of the original house while upgrading all of the amenities. The kitchen and master bathroom rival the quality of a Hilton. Wonderful fenced back yard for the dog to play in. The convenience to the town is outstanding. You are at the top of the ridge looking down to the river. Really nice views. Just a great place to relax and relieve the stresses of life.

Awesome! 87 years and counting

We enjoyed a wonderful week in Saugatuck at this outstanding property. Everything was exactly as described, And it is totally worthy of its perfect rating. This amazing property sits in a quiet street where you can relax a beautiful front porch or read in the quiet screened in porch. The backyard is big enough to play some cornhole (boards and bags provided) or toss around a football play some catch. It’s big enough for the family to cook out and feel quite at home. The kitchen is outstanding! It has everything you need to cook every meal at home if you are so inclined. To the left of the property is a path that leads down to the park and business district. In the park, you will find a pickleball court, a basketball court, and a city park with a wonderful playground for the young ones. You can walk further towards the river and enjoy restaurants, shops, art galleries, and an abundance of ice cream shops! So many things to do. We took the chain ferry (yes it’s a ferry boat pulled across the river with a chain – it is so unique) over to Douglas and climbed Mount Baldy and then walked down to Oval Beach. As the title of my post indicates, it’s all about location. We walked everywhere and everywhere was never too far or too difficult. We highly recommend this property.

This property has everything we need, huge fully stocked kitchen, fenced yard for our dogs (have to ask for this), wide screen TV with streaming, great air conditioning, crazy fast internet connection, big kitchen table, two great porches, one open, one fully screened and a fantastic modern bathroom, shower and tub lots of room. None of these you would expect in a 200 year old home. I almost don't want to praise this as I might not be able to rent next year if everyone rents, ha! You'll love the place for sure. Did I mention it is one block from town with great views.

Wonderful house and location. Two comments: the mattress are not comfortable and the airflow on the 2nd floor is minimal. It would help if the windows would open.

We appreciate how our family comfortably fits in this property. The location closer to town is wonderful. Being able to bring our pets is a high priority for our family.

Best time of year. The home sits at the top of town. Just a short walk and you are in the center of everything. Beautiful backyard sunsets. Great WiFi. Old world feel but the upgrades were put into the kitchen, master bathroom and HVAC. Best of both worlds. Great TV with full streaming for a relaxing late night movie. Already booked for next year.

This home is just wonderful and takes you back to earlier times while still being appointed with modern necessities. We had a great stay and look forward to returning. Thanks much to the hosts who are willing to share this beautiful home with us.

Great week with family members. Great location in walking distance to downtown. Super convenient for the concert in the park., shopping and restaurants. We had a lovely time on the porches. The Douglas beach, and Oval beaches were spectacular. The kitchen is great. The Bunky is a bit funky, musty smelling but with the air conditioner it was okay ( not great). Kitchen was well appointed and grill was in great shape.
