Avalon’s location puts you close to everything that makes the area so magical, from restaurants and galleries to waterfront fun, all just minutes away.

Fantastic end of Summer stay in lovely Saugatuck at Awesome Avalon. Beautifully decorated and a great great location. We have been coming to Saugatuck for years and years and this might have been the best so far
We loved our stay at this beautiful home! Every opportunity to make us feel comfortable was taken. The kitchen was well stocked and the bedrooms very comfortable. We enjoyed the deck and firepit as well. The beautiful gardens were a wonderful touch.
We loved our stay here! This cottage is very clean and it had everything we needed. Great location, we walked to town several times. We texted the property manager and he/she was very responsive. We would def stay here again!!!!
Our hosts made sure everything was perfect for our weekend! Clean, cozy and they thought of everything! Such a beautiful, conveniently located home. We enjoyed our weekend very much!
We were so happy to return to Avalon! Such a beautiful home to relax and enjoy Saugatuck. Our hosts do everything to make us feel welcome . Always great communication! Thanks for thinking of everything!
Perfect house for a group of 6 to 8 adults. 8 if 2 adults are good sleeping in the beds on porch. Living room area large and comfortable. Speaker system is excellent hang out feature. Same with dry bar.
The most charming house ever! We absolutely loved our stay. It was easy to book and the communication with the property managers was very good. Close to town, beautiful scenery. It was just lovely. Highly recommend.
Excellent property. Wonderful hosts. Convenient location to town and shops. Communication with hosts was great. Property well maintained and stocked with every necessity. We had a wonderful time
Great property for families, with everything small children need including toys and a travel crib. It is close enough to the town to walk but secluded enough for privacy. It was clean and well appointed as well. Everything you could ask for in a rental home.
We always feel so welcome at Avalon! This beautiful home is well stocked with everything you will need to be comfortable. Plenty of space to relax inside or out. Easy drive to Oval Beach and downtown. The hosts are very friendly and responsive.
We returned to stay at the Avalon for the Tulip Time. Love walking into this warm and welcoming home. Everything is spotless and anything you could need is in place. The home is convenient for exploring the area and enjoying the lovely Saugatuck. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
Beautiful home a half mile from downtown Saugatuck. Check in was smooth, the hosts were warm and communicative! The beds were comfortable. Toys and books on the sun porch were a hit with my kids. The bedrooms upstairs were warmer than the rest of the house but equipped with ceiling fans. It is on a somewhat busy street but we enjoyed hanging out in the spacious backyard. A quick drive to Oval Beach and fruit picking! We greatly enjoyed our stay. The only thing that could have been improved was cleanliness of the unit. There were some dust bunnies and hair on the bedroom floor and the trash had not been removed from one of the bedrooms prior to our arrival. Overall, a great vacation spot for families!
Ben and Derrick were amazing Hosts! They were very attentive and immediately responded when needed. Their house was cozy, cute and had all all the amenities needed for our “Girls Weekend” . We will be staying here again!
