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!!

Absolutely wonderful

We had an absolutely wonderful stay in Saugatuck. Marta's hospitality and warmth shows in every inch of the property. It is beautiful and was so very well stocked for all of our needs--including delicious snacks and wine awaiting us upon arrival. Marta was kind enough to let us know that we could check in early, which we really appreciated. Just a great experience all around!

This property is, as represented, in a wonderful location for enjoying all that Saugatuck has to offer. Especially convenient is the fact that you are within easy walking distance of coffee shops, restaurants, activities and shopping. This place worked perfectly for our sibling reunion. The common spaces were especially appreciated.

The Perfect Location

Our family had a fantastic stay in Saugatuck, thanks to the location and everything in this beautiful home. We could walk to great restaurants or sit on the small balcony overlooking Butler Street. The large balcony on Water Street had room for all eight of us to relax and view the harbor. Anything you could possibly need in a kitchen is provided, and the eclectic collection of artwork was so fun to enjoy. Everything is on the upper level except for one bedroom and bath, but our 86 year old family members could go up and down the stairs as well as walk to restaurants and shops. We loved it!

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. The owner was very communicative and resolved the one issue we had immediately. Recommend this property without hesitation.

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.

Outstanding Property

This condo certainly exceeded expectations. Couldn’t have a better location in downtown Saugatuck right on the river. Walk to everything - restaurants, shopping, nightlife fun. Or just hang out on one of the 2 balconies and people watch or enjoy the beautiful sunsets. As a bonus the condo is like a small gallery with lovely artwork in every room and is furnished with everything you could possibly need - nothing to bring from home! Cheers to the host on the many extra touches. We’ll be back.
