Snowed in!!!

Spent the 2022 holiday blizzard snowed in at the house and couldn't have asked for a better place to be! The property management was amazing. Little touches around the house were taken care of. And to top it off the driveway was shoveled! Would totally go back!!!

Fall Break Getaway

Stayed here for fall break with my family. House is clean and has everything you need. The kitchen is wonderful as well as the bedrooms. The design and artwork at this house are top notch. The weather was fairly windy and cold so we stayed indoors and could not use the patio, but the patio area has seating and a propane fire pit. The location is ideal. You are very close to Douglas Beach, Oval Beach, Saugatuck, and a short drive to Holland. We would like to come back during Summer Break. Definitely would recommend this place.

Luxurious & spotless

We have been renting homes in the area for 15 years and this is the best rental we have found. The pictures do not do it justice. Everything is the highest quality & is beyond clean. Usually I have to wipe down some surfaces at rentals - not here! The beds are amazing. The neighborhood is quiet & the fountain in the pond out back is lovely to listen to out on the deck. One note - they do not have beach umbrellas so bring them along or rent in town.

Great Property, Great Location

Everything about the property was great! The house was spotless upon arrival. They mention that the beach is a 10 minute walk but it's just across the street so that was a pleasant surprise. It's very easy to walk to hiking trails nearby. If you have trouble with stairs this place is not for you as there are lots of stairs! I'd probably prefer 3 beds and just 1 room with bunk beds (there are 2 rooms with queen beds and 2 rooms with bunk beds) but that was by no means a deal breaker and the beds were very comfortable.

Loved the Hamilton

As a Parent and Grandparent finding a family vacation spot that meets our criteria is not easy. Criteria: Sleeps 12, has adequate living space for that crew (ages 7 - 70) and is located near a wide variety of activity options. The Hamilton was exactly as advertised and met every expectation for our family vacation. One important detail to mention, when something unexpected happens you find out how good (or not) your property management organization is. We had that experience during our stay. An unexpected problem arose, I called Upscale's contact number and in less than 1 hour their maintenance team was in and out, problem resolved. Exceptional! The Hamilton is on our return visit list.

Great house!

We had 4 guys on a golf trip and the house worked out great—even with two rooms with bunk beds. Great layout and setup and easily accessible from town. Communication with Property Manager was really good, fast and complete replies that met our needs. One downside that was bad timing that the dishwasher was broken so we had to hand wash daily, but they left plastic utensils to help there. Only other feedback would be that we had 4 guests and the house could sleep at least 10-12 guests—but we only had 6 bath towels that we could find. Not ideal and easily fixed. Would recommend in the future for others, and would happily stay there again!

Excellent property for large group

First time staying in Saugatuck and this property did not disappoint. Great location, very spacious house and amenities for large group, had everything we needed. although we didn’t use them, there were two grills available. Lots of room in the backyard for yard games, and games in the basement where a huge plus. overall, I would highly recommend this property.

Our reunion group (mostly all retired) really liked how well appointed everything was - and up to date. The view was perfect for watching birds, Canada geese babies and deer. The only complaint was the on line guide book wouldn’t open but not a show stopper.

A+ for The Hamilton

Our experience staying at this property surpassed our expectations on many levels. The condo is beautifully decorated, very spacious and was equipped with EVERYTHING to make for a pampered stressless experience. The beds were very comfortable which can make or break a restful vacation.The neighborhood was peaceful and we loved walking to Woosah Coffee most mornings. The weather was amazing so we spent most days at Oval Beach. The downtown area of Douglas and Saugatuck was full of cute shops and great restaurants. Thanks for making our first family vacation to Michigan very memorable! We’ll be back!

Beautiful and spacious

Beautiful home inside. Very spacious. Comfortable beds. Many bathrooms. Clean home. Very warm upstairs (thermostat set to 80) upon arrival and it took 6+ hours to cool off. Seemed like thermostat could have been lowered prior to our arrival? Neighbors had many loud (we couldn't hear each other talking & sitting outside on deck) lawn maintenance machines going on at least of the 3 days. Bad timing for us, perhaps? Our large family of 11 depends on kitchens when traveling for dinners together (that's when we gather). We intentionally select homes with spacious kitchens to that end. Unfortunately, the oven was not functioning. Management did send a tech to repair out the day after we arrived, but parts were needed. They did not arrive during our stay so this had a significant impact on our stay. Too bad. Douglas Beach is a short mile away (very pretty) and Saugatauk is about 1.5 miles.

Sisters Getaway

Clean property. Liked open concept layout, although not ideal for someone with mobility issues since stairs are required on all levels. Listing boasts Lake Michigan views but mature trees and homes block most of the lake view. Since the weather was cool and rainy it would have been nice if we could have used the fireplace. Some rugs slip when walking on them, especially in the kitchen. Would have been nice to have a cookie sheet available. A sock was found in one of the beds. Livingroom furniture was a little uncomfortable but overall we enjoyed our stay!
