Exceptional property!

Super location, just as described, clean, comfortable, and most enjoyable. Our group of 8 vacation together annually and we all agreed this was one of the best properties we’ve stayed in.

Terrific stay in downtown Saugatuck!

Awesome property, very clean, well stocked with everything you could need and the perfect location to watch the boats come in and out of the harbor and within walking distance to all the local shops and restaurants. Marta was a fantastic host providing excellent communication prior to arrival, including many restaurant recommendations and then a lovely welcome basket of treats upon arrival including wine, cheese and chocolates! Will definitely stay at this property in the future. To top it all off this is a super cool building!!

Married with young adult children

This is hands down one of our favorite Vrbo rentals. My husband and I celebrated 3 April birthdays with our young adult children and our son in law in Saugatuck, MI in this comfortable home in the heart of this friendly creative town. The home offers privacy for couples with each room having its own bathroom and wonderful open gathering space. Love that it is also dog friendly and has deck sitting areas to take in music and relax.
