Located very close to a harbor, a small quiet beach within a mile, and not very far away from downtown Holland. We loved it. We will likely be booking this property again next year.

We experienced a pretty significant cleanliness issue (totally just human error) that was resolved by day 2 of our stay. Once we were able to get ahold of Kathy, it was resolved quickly and made right, and her customer service was excellent. We would come back! Location is great for proximity to numerous lovely spots, and the property is beautiful. The pictures don't do it justice, and the home and backyard are great comfy spaces.

The location made it easy to get to downtown Holland, the State Park, and nearby Saugatuck. The quiet street and wooded lot felt peaceful. The accommodations were adequate and the home decor was cute and comfortable. Our 4-star rating is due to the home smelling a bit musty, the interior of the home was not well-lit (the living room needs more lamps), the inability to adjust the thermostat made climate control less than favorable (lack of air circulation made it feel stuffy at times), and even with using our streaming services, navigating the satellite TV was challenging. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and exploring the nearby attractions and dining options.

Great place!

The house was super clean, nicely decorated, had comfortable beds, and stocked with all the kitchen necessities. The backyard with fire pit was the perfect place to relax and take in nature. Short drive to state park, breweries, restaurants, etc. Also easy access to the short Sanctuary Woods trail.

Cozy place!

Great location, close to everything yet the backyard makes you feel like your deep in the woods. Great firepit area. Lots of places to walk our dog, getting her good and tired before we went out to visit some wineries as well as our favorite restaurant (Bowdies in Saugatuck). Would stay here again.

Great location close to the Saugatuck dunes state park/Saugatuck/Downtown Holland. Well placed to enjoy those aspects, plus close to one of the only public beaches in the area. House rules were very descriptive, but no unduly so.
