Quiet Spacious Property in Newport Harbor/Saugatuck Douglas

Our house is located in Newport Harbor, a peaceful quiet location very close to Douglas and Saugatuck downtowns and to the Douglas and Saugatuck beaches. With wide open spaces in the front and the back, it is pleasurable for early rises and sunset watchers. The sun rises behind the Kalamazoo River and the deck looks at a pond where the sun sets.
The location is also great for bicycling and canoeing. We have 4 single person kayaks, a 3 seat canoe and a dock to launch them into the Kalamazoo River leading to the Saugatuck Harbor area, and Michigan Lake. The beaches and Saugatuck is 3 miles if one wants to bicycle.
With four spacious bedrooms, each with a walk in closet, a large living room with a vaulted ceiling it can accommodate large groups up to 10 people. The full kitchen and outside grill areas will add convenience to your stay.

Annual Friend Trip to MI

We had a great trip. The house was perfect for our large group. The kids loved playing yard games outside, playing tag around the house, and climbing trees. The adults enjoyed the large sunny deck. We all enjoyed the kayaks, very easy to transport to the water. Loved the quiet neighborhood, a great get away from the hecktic downtown.

Beautiful, convenient, quiet home

We had a wonderful stay here. The house was spacious and accommodated us (5 adults) well. It was very convenient to get to Douglas, Saugatuck, and other nearby areas. We loved the big windows and sitting outside, but the best part for me was the access to the kayaks and canoes. We kayaked multiple times during our stay and it was beautiful. If staying for a long duration, check the pre-arrival email and/or do an inventory of what’s available in the house in order to plan grocery shopping.

Great stay in Douglas

The pictures don’t quite do it justice. Great space. This is perfect for multi-generational stays because of the first floor bed and bath. Our kids loved the huge backyard and the tree swing. We saw lots of beautiful wildlife in the backyard and we were close to all that Douglas and Saugatuck have to offer. Wonderful stay!

Great place to stay in Douglas

My family had a great time at this beautiful home in Douglas. Great location- close to both downtown Douglas and Saugatuck. The backyard is expansive and very relaxing. Plenty of space inside for our group of 7. We appreciated that the owner was available by phone to answer a couple questions we had while there. Will definitely consider a return visit!

Family vacation

House was beautiful , very clean and convenient to the town. The living room ceiling fan was broken and could not be fixed while we were there. We made the owner aware but felt this should have been addressed before we arrived. It was very hot and could have used it. He was very apologetic however and genuinely felt bad. Beautiful neighborhood and very quiet away from the noise. Highly recommend .

A Great Getaway

My friends and I had a fabulous long weekend staying at this house. Many VRBO properties don't live up to their photos/listings, but this one definitely did! Tons of space, plenty of comfortable seating to hang out in, very clean, and nicely stocked with basics. The location was great - quiet & scenic (we all loved seeing all of the birds visiting the lake in the backyard every day).

Nice stay in Saugatuck

Overall a very good stay. Property is as advertised and it worked out well for us. Selim was easy to communicate with and he helped us out with early check in. The property could use some general maintenance on minor things like shower heads and faucets suffering from hard water deposits. Thanks Selim!

Great Stay!

The house was perfect for our group of 8 friends. We had everything we needed to grill, cook, kayak/canoe, and just hang out and have fun! Location is great...5-10 minutes to Douglas and Saugatuck and 20 to Holland. Fantastic breweries, wineries, and restaurants nearby. River access is a short walk to the dock with the kayaks and canoes. We paddled to the Red Dock Cafe on the river. Guessing maybe a 4-6 mile round trip paddle. It was a workout but worth it! Communication was great with the owners too. We would definitely recommend staying here if in the area!

A lovely weekend getaway

This house was a great spot for our family's long weekend. It easily accommodated the 5 adults and 2 children we had in our party. The neighborhood was quite and sunsets against the pond in the backyard were spectacular. There were two crane's (sandhill perhaps) that came to visit every morning and walked the neighborhood throughout the day. Basically our time at the house was peaceful and serene. It is a short trip into Holland, where we spent much of our time during the day. We had a fantastic time and would definitely come back!

Relaxing Riverside Stay Near Saugatuck

Our family had a wonderful stay. This home is well-kept, large and the perfect spot to enjoy one of Michigan's premier spots. The place was clean and well stocked. When we arrived a couple of adarondock chairs in the back were broken, and the owner had two new ones delivered the very next morning. That was impressive. We loved having access to the nearby Kalamazoo River. I escaped with my son-in-law a couple of mornings to go fishing, and we caught several bass and northern pike. The dock is a little tricky to enter, but we managed. Overall, this was a fantastic experience. Especially enjoyed the ping pong table in the basement and the expansive and lovely backyard.

September weekend

All 6 of us ladies had an enjoyable stay. The bedrooms were very roomy, comfortable beds, and nice bedding. Although the kitchen is small, it was well supplied with all the necessary utensils, pots/pans and dish wear for cooking. The toaster was testy and probably should be replaced. Had an issue with a fire alarm chirping away when arrived and continued for a period of time until handyman arrived. All rooms nicely furnished. Otherwise we had a great time.

Annual Family Vacation

While to house is very well located close to the Douglas / Saugatuck beaches and activities and in a nice, quite neighborhood, its obvious when driving up which house is the rental. Bushes needed trimming (which took place over 2 evenings during our stay along with the yard equipment trailer parked along side the house). Improvements are needed. Though no fault of the owners, and animal had clearly died under the deck and the stench rendered the deck area unusable. Owner did respond promptly but problem was not resolved. We also would like to have opened any of the windows in the home to enjoy the summer fresh air but none of the windows have screens. Details are everything and many were lacking regarding upkeep.

Beautiful area but house needs work

Douglas was amazing but unfortunately the house wasn't well maintained. The dish washer didn't work well and we had to wash dishes most of the week. I believe the trap wasn't being cleaned. We washed a load of clothes and the dryer didn't work. We had to go to a laundromat to dry them. The dryer vent was blocked with lint which is a fire hazard. I called the owner and he told me to call the handyman as he was on vacation. Wow... I was on vacation too and it wasn't my job to contact the handyman. The kitchen wasn't outfitted for cooking meals and was missing many basic supplies. We won't be back to this house but we loved Douglas and will find housing elsewhere.

Fun

Very nice relaxing place. The pond, in back really gave it character, but the geese sure made a mess, and the Cranes were beautiful. I thought the dock was out back ( at the pond), but it was a block away and the weeds were terrible. I was questioned by a neighbor(near the dock) if we were renting and he said that only one side of the dock was available (even though no one else was there). Everyone in the neighborhood seemed friendly. The house was very spacious: clean, except for the outside siding. It had lots of spiders on it. The garage door was rickety and when I put it up I thought it was going to fall. One section of it came loose, at the bottom. I called the owner who was vey pleasant and accommodating. He called the repairman but the repairman never showed up. Lots of dishes, towels, soap, etc. It was a lot of fun being with family at a big house that everyone had room for, and being near Saugatuck, and Lake Michigan.

Great Location/Bring your own basic things

First off - the listing says you can change your dates up to 60 days prior, THIS IS NOT TRUE. We wanted to shorten our stay by one day and were told if we want to shorten it, cancel the whole thing and they'll find someone else to rent for the weekend - so clearly false advertising. Make sure your dates are solid because you can't change them. This is the second time I've stayed at this property. The house is big enough for a large family. The kayaking is wonderful. The inside of the house is mostly maintained - some burned out lightbulbs, but nothing major to that end. The kitchen is not stocked at all - there is a grill but no grilling utensils. It's a very bare bones kitchen when it comes to supplies. Bring your own sponge, paper towels, dishwashing detergent, etc. Also, there is a washer and dryer but the dryer doesn't work very well. Ran our towels in it three times and they were still wet. There is only one TV, so if you want to watch more than one thing, bring your own device. The outside is full of weeds. I mentioned this last year but still looks the same. The landscaping is atrocious and not like the pictures. Other than lawn mowing, the outside is not maintained. There isn't a regular firepit anymore - it is a gas one now, not amazing for roasting marshmallows. But it works. It is a great location. Not far from the beach, downtown Saugatuck, Holland. Easy to get around. The bedrooms are spacious and have big closets - but like I mentioned, no TVs in the bedrooms. Great amenities - ping pong table in the basement, kayaks in the garage, a hammock and table/chairs outside. Small beach area to enjoy by a pond with nice fountains. Would recommend, but come prepared with the basics that a house should have and know your dates.
