The home was very nicely updated, perfectly clean, and just a 20 minute walk to town. Would definitely stay here again. Saugatuck and Grand Haven a short drive away as well, we did day trips to both on rainy days.

Gorgeous setting, a rare lakefront cottage in a fun town in Southwest MI. Comfortable & convenient. Longer but do-able walk into the town center. For those traveling with mobility challenges there are longer stairs to the dune & beach. Already talking about when we can come back!

BEWARE, this rental is now offered by a different part of the family and prior arrangements are no longer acceptable. They did some surface redecorating including painting over windowsills making it hard to open windows but left a 6 inch hole in a windowsill. They are very fussy about changing the position of their decorative items, some of which look easily breakable. They have a camera surveillance of the deck (maybe others?). Several huge tree branches had fallen across the path to the stairs which were not cleared away from a storm. The neighbor is very territorial and will come out and shout if you cross his perceived boundary on the beach. Access to the gorgeous beach is difficult for an older person, stairs only go halfway down.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 June 2026
I understand that you are upset that we canceled your next booking because of your failure to follow the rules. We have very few. Yet you brought your dog when we said ‘no pets’, didn’t ask about if we would honor what the previous owner did, and therefor let you dog in the house and all over our brand new never used couch. We had to pay extra cleaning fees to get the white dog hair and sand off the navy couch. Fees that we did not pass on to you. Then you didn’t run/ empty the dishwasher as stated in closing up. Moved artwork around on the walls, I’m sorry, you don’t live there. Left food in the house, bathroom was a mess. Not being fussy, just expect some respect for all the work we have done to make it an enjoyable place for people to come. We have had a window on order (and hopefully can be replaced soon). As far as the branch on the steps, I’m sorry, the storm came in right before you all got there and no one was there to pick it up. The steps also go as far down as they can based on beach conditions.
