We had an incredible time during our stay. Can’t say enough about this beautiful, peaceful property. Loads of wildlife to watch in and around the yard. The home was exactly as pictured and the owner, Joyce, went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. There were evening thunderstorms and she phoned to make sure we were comfortable. Highly recommend.
communication up to and while we were there was fantastic. we were five adults and the house and property were perfect.
It was clean neat wonderfully decorated and cozy.
It is a must stay for a vacation
We stayed for a long weekend at this home. It was a lovely time. We've rented many homes and this was one of our favorites. It was warm, cozy, and felt like we were at home. The screened in porch and backyard were our favorite spots.
Property could not have been better. Immaculate, well equipped kitchen, nice furnishings and set up. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and host made everything so simple!
Clean and well maintained house, surrounded by quiet but a very short drive to town for dinner and activities. Next time we look forward to warmer weather so that we can enjoy the fireplace on the porch!
The home was very nice. Very clean, cozy, and a nice layout. The communication and check in check out process was a breeze. Overall a very nice experience and we would definitely recommend!
We had an amazing stay. We did s’mores and appreciated all the kitchen equipment. The kitchen is well stocked. And the host really did think of everything. It was very easy to connect with. I highly recommend staying here.
The property was all it said and more. Very clean, very comfortable and well provisioned. Many in our group are thinking of returning with family and I would rent again.
The place was very well-maintained, cared for, and there was lot of attention to detail. It is situated in a cozy neighborhood and is perfect for nature lovers, bird watchers, and star gazers alike. It's also very close to art galleries, restaurants, and areas to watch the sunset. We celebrated our parents' 50th wedding anniversary there and they absolutely loved it! :-)
We were in for a wedding & turned out this lovely place was less than 5 min from the venue! Cozy, nicely appointed & able to bring our dog along. It was perfect! Clean! Comfortable! Convenient! We could not have been more pleased with the property & the process! Great little getaway for our family! Thank you Joyce & Tim!
The property and home were more than advertised and pictured. A few days into our stay we went ahead and booked the same for next year! We were able to check-in before 4:00, which was lovely. The door was code locked so no need for managing keys during our vacay and it was easy to use. As were the house electronics, especially the tv, we have had problems with other properties prior to this. The manager was a delight to communicate with prior, during and after our stay! The kitchen came with all the gadgets imaginable which was again a very nice surprise. Several very comfortable seating areas throughout and outside of the home. Location was great, very near Saugatuck yet quiet, surrounded by countryside. My friends and I have been traveling to Saugatuck for many years and I can quite honestly say this was probably the most enjoyable, mostly due to the home and Joyce, the manager!
My two sisters and I stay at the Coastal Farmhouse as our home base as we attended the Tulip Time Festival in Holland, MI in May 2024. We absolutely loved the property. This is the nicest VRBO we have experienced on our various Sisters Weekends. The property has 3 large comfortable bedroom, perfect for the 3 of us. The decor inside the house is beautiful with plenty of space to relax, play games, and make meals. The outside space is equally beautiful with a nicely landscaped yard with plenty of comfortable seating for relaxing outdoors. We had lots of visitors from hummingbirds, wild turkeys and lots of other critters, providing entertainment as we sat outside. Perfectly located on the outskirts of Saugatuck, it was very easy to daytrip into Saugatuck, Douglas and Holland. We found plenty of events to keep ourselves busy during the day. The owner, Joyce, gave great instructions on checking in to the property. The kitchen was very nicely stocked with anything one would need to cook a meal. I would give this property the highest recommendation for a relaxing place to stay while in the Saugatuck area.
Exceptional home in The Saugatuck area. Literally less than 5 minutes from Mainstreet. Gorgeous home and perfectly maintained. Joyce and Tim are outstanding hosts and so kind and courteous.
3 lovely bedrooms. All in one floor. Wonderful great room. Screened in 3 season room with fireplace. Outdoor patio overlooking a serene meadow. Every amenity you could ask for. Can’t wait to get back here next year!
Joyce's home was absolutely amazing. Easy check-in, Centrally located with easy access to restaurants, wineries, and walking trails. We cant wait to come back and stay again in the future.
Owners were SO nice, even mailed us back my husband’s pillow that he had forgotten. We definitely plan to stay again at sone point and would encourage anyone looking to choose this house!! You will not regret it!!
Our family of 5 loved staying at this property! It was super clean, close to Saugatuck, and beautiful! The screened in back porch is one of the best features, and includes great lounging furniture, tv, and fireplace. We enjoyed staying here so much it was difficult to leave the property! It felt close to everything, yet away enough to truly relax. Kitchen is stocked well with all the utensils, cookware, and dishes/glassware you need. Joyce was wonderful to work with and we cannot wait to stay here again. Our kids loved staying here too! Perfect getaway in a beautiful home and excellent location! We can’t wait to come back!
Easy check in, great location, every amenity we could possibly need and more. The house was clean and beautiful, we look forward to staying here again in the future.
Beautiful. Felt at home. Owner was very friendly and kind. The house had everything we needed for our short stay. We spent a lot of time cooking in the amazing kitchen and chatting on the beautiful enclosed patio. Beautiful views all around the property!

About the host
Hosted by Joyce Antel
Meet Tim and Joyce, Premier Hosts of the Coastal Farmhouse. We have 4 amazing children from 21 to 29 years old. We always have fun where ever we go and love the great outdoors in all weather. Hiking Saugatuck's beach trails is one of our favorite things to do. We both recently retired from teaching after 63 years between the two of us. Now that our kids are grown and have left our nest empty, we love to travel too. If you enjoy the outdoors like our family does, you'll enjoy our home and the great area in which we live.
Why they chose this property
Our new home is situated on a peaceful 1 1/2 acres with woods in one direction and a peaceful meadow in the other. It's very close to all the amenities the Saugatuck and Douglas area has to offer, then you can escape back to this relaxing, cozy Coastal Farmhouse.
What makes this property unique
The fauna and flora are amazing here. We have identified so many wildflowers and birds in our back yard. You may even see deer, a woodchuck or turkeys wander by, or hawks, geese and Sandhill cranes fly overhead. Listening to bird calls has been a fun pastime as we sit and relax on the patio or lanai.
