About this property

Dragonfly | A Modern Two-Bedroom Downtown Saugatuck Retreat

Dragonfly is a newly renovated two-bedroom retreat in the heart of Saugatuck. Designed for comfort and connection, it features open living spaces, modern amenities and thoughtful details throughout. Just steps from downtown restaurants, art galleries, boutiques and the waterfront, it offers an easy, welcoming place to unwind and feel settled. The open layout makes the home feel bright and inviting, with a seamless flow between the living and dining areas and a fully equipped kitchen that’s perfect for gathering or relaxing. Two king bedrooms provide privacy and relaxation, each designed with premium linens and soft textures. A full bath offers a walk-in shower and double sinks, complemented by a convenient half bath off the main living area. A guest favorite, the spacious three-season screened porch is nestled among the trees — an ideal spot for morning coffee, evening cocktails or simply enjoying the quiet of your surroundings. Outside, a small backyard and cul-de-sac setting provide a sense of privacy within easy reach of town, while a gas grill and outdoor dining area make summer evenings simple to enjoy. The home includes high-speed Wi-Fi, smart TVs, in-home laundry, an office nook and ample parking. Optional tailored touches are available through The Settled Stay, offering concierge-style add-ons designed around convenience, celebration and local flavor — think stocked fridges, prepped meals, curated welcome or celebration packages, specialty touches like charcuterie or wine pairings, private chef dinners or personalized itineraries to help you make the most of your stay. Guests have full access to the home, screened porch and yard, with private keyless entry at both the front and back doors. Dragonfly’s location offers the best of both worlds — tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac yet just a short stroll to downtown dining, art galleries, shops and live music. The Saugatuck Dunes, Oval Beach, riverfront walkway and local hiking and biking trails are all nearby, offering endless ways to explore the lakeshore. Dragonfly isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a thoughtfully designed retreat where every detail is considered, offering the comfort, style, and ease that define The Settled Stay experience and the best of Saugatuck hospitality.

One of the best vacation rentals I have stayed at over the years. Definitely recommend staying at the dragonfly. The location is perfect, walking distance to everything but just far enough away to feel like you can escape the downtown area for a quiet night. The only time we used the car was to drive to Oval Beach and back, a very easy and quick drive. The house was clean and had everything we needed and more for a fun and relaxing vacation.

Perfect in every way!

I have never been in a property so beautifully appointed, well organized and immaculately maintained. Every possible need has been anticipated and provided for. In addition to these accolades, the location to everything in Saugatuck couldn’t be more convenient. Katie is an incredible host with an incredible home.

There was nothing not to like about the Dragonfly. The space was great, the decorations were great, the gadgets / appliances and useful things were all super helpful. Cleaning up - trash removal for example - was set up nicely by the hosts with replacement bags just there in the cans for us to switch. Also, the location was really good- walk out the front door and your by the water or farmers market within 2-3 minutes.

Long weekend in Saugatuck

We have been going to Saugatuck every year since 2014 and this property is our favorite 2 bedroom. Kate was so easy to communicate with and she thought of everything to include for our stay. The house has a fantastic screened porch and is steps from everything downtown. We can’t wait to return!

This is a beautiful property in a great location that sets the standard for high-quality. Everything has been thought of so you don’t have to, from reading glasses on the desk to cozy blankets in the screened in porch, this property makes relaxing easy. We loved our stay and definitely plan to be back.

We could not have asked for a better experience. This house was walkable to everything in town, but secluded enough to enjoy some peace and quiet when desired. We spent a lot of time on the amazing screened in porch just listening to nature and enjoying the scenery. The house has so many special touches, and if there is something you need for your stay, I guarantee the host has already thought of it and provided it! I also mentioned I was enjoying a milestone birthday, and the host made me feel so special by leaving thoughtful gifts and snacks! Would definitely stay here again.

One of the finest VRBO home properties and experiences we’ve had. The Dragonfly is beautifully and attractively decorated to that theme, and is extremely clean, refreshing, well maintained, and generously stocked with items we never even expected to have on hand.Additionally Katie, our host was kind, gracious, welcoming, and very much available when we had any questions or concerns..and the property location is truly in-town, with just a short walking distance from the home to great dining and shopping. This is a first-class property complete with an awesome screened in back porch to relax in after exploring Saugatuck and all the towns activities. Cheers to Katie and crew for being such gracious hosts! We’ll definitely visit Saugatuck and book a stay here again!

Peaceful

This beautiful home is located on a peaceful cul-de-sac which made it private and quiet. Yet it was still close to everything in Saugatuck and Douglas we wanted to do (being able to walk downtown was a real plus). The home is outfitted perfectly, every convenience you could need or want is available. The owner has thought of everything. Our favorite feature was the gorgeous and comfortable screened in porch on the back of the house. We look forward to returning!

Perfection!

We just returned from a 5 day stay at Dragonfly and I’m ready to go back! From the very first communication, to getting to meet her when we checked out, Katie made this one of the best rental experiences we’ve had. SO MANY thoughtful touches including a welcome basket, beach supplies, and some bathroom and kitchen essentials, she has really thought of everything. Dragonfly is perfect for 2 couples, a small family, or a couple with their pup like us. The location was perfect: steps from all the shops and restaurants, as well as the Friday Farmers Market. This home is on a quiet street which made morning coffee and evening drinks on the fabulous screened porch our favorite parts of the day. Dragonfly is an immaculate home full of everything you need for a visit to Saugatuck.

We had the most amazing stay at the Dragonfly! Katie was such a gracious host and communication was a breeze. You can't beat the location and the house was spotless! The house has been updated and everything you could ever need is provided. The special little touches and concierge services were top notch. We utilized the concierge services and everything requested, Katie made happen. From charcuterie, lunch, and groceries upon arrival to our anniversary dinner with a private chef, Chef Jazer, from Duck Alley, who was spectacular!! Chef Jazer also created weekly meals based on our preferences thanks to Katie. She also arranged a private painting class at Ox-Bow for my birthday!! Katie really goes above and beyond! This is our go to place when visiting Saugatuck and we cant wait to go back! Thanks Katie!!

Stayed for a few nights this summer. My family and I have been coming to Saugatuck every summer for a decade. This is our absolute favorite place and have already booked our return visit!Katie was an absolute pleasure to communicate with prior to and throughout our stay. Every square foot of the rental is incredibly curated and not a single detail was missed. The location is excellent and, more importantly, the property is very well maintained, clean, and cared for. We wanted for nothing during our stay. I secretly want to have no reviews listed for this property so we can keep it all to ourselves! HIGHLY recommend!

Katie provides great amenities and the home is so well appointed. Location is excellent for walking through town. We loved the screamed in porch and beds were great. My husband who uses a cane inside and a walker outside had no issue with the two small steps into the home and loved being able to get around easily. Thanks Katie, we really enjoyed our stay.

A beautiful place to relax and unwind in the heart of Saugatuck.

This place is amazing. The decor, attention to detail and amenities make it a place we’d come back to again and again. We were celebrating a 60th birthday and Katie welcomed the birthday girl with decorations and other special surprises. The house is spotless and very inviting! A great place to stay when visiting Saugatuck.

The perfect location for exploring Saugatuck and the surrounding area. The home is outfitted with everything you could need, even beach chairs, board games, and extra pillows. The home is named "The Dragonfly" and they really leaned into it with the decor, which is all is tans and greens. It all is so cohesive and was clearly well thought out. Also, it was so clean, not even sand had invaded the living spaces. You know you're looking for things to critique when you start thinking about how several light bulbs are a HARSH bright white (let's get those replaced with some soft lighting). All in, a great stay and highly recommended.

Thank you, Adam! We loved hosting your family and are so glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciated all the little details. Thanks for the thoughtful review, the kind words and the helpful feedback. And yes… a few new lightbulbs may be finding their way to Dragonfly soon. 😊

About the host

Hosted by Katie Benton

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Katie — a planner at heart who finds joy in creating thoughtful spaces and experiences. After years in events and communications, I wanted to bring that same attention to detail into hospitality. I believe good hosting is about more than offering a place to stay — it’s about anticipating what guests need, so they can truly relax and enjoy their surroundings.

Why they chose this property

Saugatuck has always been a special place for my family — a community that blends creativity, charm and a laid-back spirit. I love being able to walk downtown for morning coffee, browse local galleries or unwind by the water in the evening after dinner out at one of the amazing restaurants. It’s a place that invites you to slow down, connect and appreciate the moment.

What makes this property unique

Dragonfly was designed to reflect the ease and creativity of Saugatuck — a place where thoughtful details meet everyday comfort. The open layout and natural light make the home instantly welcoming, while the screened porch offers a peaceful spot to unwind among the trees. Every element was chosen to help guests feel both relaxed and inspired, creating a stay that feels beautifully simple and easy to enjoy.
