The house was spotless upon arrival and the amenities were fantastic. Little touches like the record player and the espresso machine really enhanced the experience. The location is close to both South Haven and Saugatuck/Douglas, providing access to great restaurants and shopping. It snowed while we were there and the hot tub allowed us to enjoy the outdoors comfortably. Snow plow service arrived quickly, as well. Great location, great experience!

Hot tub was fairly dirty and no chlorine tabs. The water in the house smells very bad like sulfur and eggs. Had to get water at the local store to drink and do small things like brush teeth. Also when running the shower fills the downstairs with the smell of the water. Brought this up to the property manager and they put salt in the hot water heater. I am still not sure what that was going to do. He also said he did not run any of the water in the house when he was there. So this issue was not addressed properly.

Secluded getaway in the woods

We enjoyed the location being halfway between South Haven and Saugatuck allowing us the opportunity to travel to both. The location is peaceful and tucked into a wooded areas so be prepared. This rental management group was responsive in some of our concerns which was appreciated.

Tulip time trip.

Our family had a great stay. We all slept comfortably and we loved the heated tile and seats in the bathrooms. Such a cute home and nice place to stay. The hot tub and chiminea were also nice since it was cool during our trip. Our adult kids loved the sunset on the beach while we enjoyed the view from the upstairs balcony deck!

The house itself was gorgeous. Comfortable layout with luxurious finishes. Little details like the heated toilets and magic mirrors were a treat. The shared path to the lake stairs was easy to navigate and the beach was perfect. The management company, Vacasa, was super professional and communicative. Lots of emails, texts, and an app. The only thing that wasn’t perfect was the 10 am check out which felt a little off market for a beach house. But overall A

Super close to a perfect private beach

We loved this house! Updated bathrooms and modern kitchen. We used the lovely screened porch and hot tub a lot. The best part was the proximity to the beach. Short 5 minute walk down 89 new stairs. We will stay here again! Bring your own coffee grounds and #4 cone filters. There’s a Meijer 15 minutes away for anything you forgot.

Wonderful, quiet, beach front home.

Our family stayed here and it was a wonderful time. The property is located in a quiet neighborhood yet is still close enough to both Saguatuck and South Haven. It's a true gem and it's a short walk to the beach. You can truly relax here and would highly recommend

Great place for a family

Our family of 5 had everything we needed and plenty of room! The hot tub was great. The home is super close to the lake (we could see it from the house), and the screened in porch was just lovely. My only complaint is that we couldn’t stay longer!

Everything you need for a wonderful vacation getaway

We had 5 adults stay here for a high school friends reunion and this house was perfect for us! The house had everything we needed, was super clean, 3 fridges, plenty of parking, the beds were comfortable and we loved the bathroom upgrades (fancy toilets were a hit). We noticed there were 4 beach chairs in the garage, but we never needed them (good to know though).This house would be perfect for a big family or a group of friends trying to reconnect. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Check in was very easy and fully detailed. The Kitchen was modern and updated. Excellent coffee makers and even expresso. You do need a special size cone filter for the drip coffee and I read it off the comments and brought my own. None in the house.the pots and pans were limited and not great shape.

Great property- book while you can!

Our family of 5 loved this property and all its amenities. The house was clean and very well-decorated. It’s a unique home with a lot of character and space to spread out. Being dog friendly was a huge bonus and it was so nice to sit out in the screened in porch. Private access to the beach was top notch with very clear instructions. The beach was clean and provided a nice area for kids to swim. The home also included beach chairs and water toys suitable for elementary to middle school kids. We’re definitely marking this house as one we’d like to return to!

Beautiful rental!

This rental is gorgeous and perfect for a trip to the lake. We would definitely rent it again! The inside of the house was beautiful, clean, and well furnished. I do wish the outdoor areas were given the same attention; we weren't able to use the patio or balcony because they were so dirty. The grill was also very dirty. Also note for future renters: there are no beach towels available at the property, bring your own!

Tranquil Retreat

We stayed at this beautiful lakefront property in mid-March. Over four days, the sun shone, it rained, and it snowed—and still, it was magnificent! It's a large space that still feels cozy, has great kitchen amenities, and was a perfect setting to focus on a major project. We were productive, inspired by the breathtaking view of Lake Michigan, and very comfortable.

This property was so unique and cool. A turntable to spin some great vinyl. High tech toilets. Heated floors. Multiple fire places. The screened in porch was perfect for coffee, books and games. A fire chimney crackling away while soaking in the hot tub. Views from the upper deck were stunning. Wildlife abounds. We even had a visit from a fox. Direct access to our private beach where we took in the gorgeous sunset with music and wine. The location of this home is so close to great orchards and vineyards. Modales is 10 minutes away as is Virtue Cider. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of refrigeration space.

Beautiful beach

The house has views of Lake Michigan from the rooftop deck and one of the beds. The yard is all fenced in and nice. The walk to the beach is very short but there are quite a few stairs down. There are beaches if anyone needs to take a break on the way up/down. The house has been updated and has a lot of modern decor. Very cozy. Comfy beds. Lots of space to spread out in the house. Everything is well thought out. Loved our stay.
