Thanks for the kind words Tom!! We really appreciate you coming back to stay with us again. Hope you had a good time in Saugatuck and will think of us for the next time. Bruce and Donna
We had a great time staying at the bungalow. The home was very clean, very comfortable and had everything you would possibly need. It was in a great location and walkable to everything. The street was somewhat busy but never any noise inside so really no disturbance and fun to sit on the porch and people watch. Everyone in the neighborhood was very friendly. Would absolutely rent again if ever in Saugatuck.

I’ve stayed in many rental homes in Saugatuck. This was one of the most comfortable homes. It was clean, accommodating, in a great location, and my kids loved playing baseball and catching fireflies in the big yard.

Hi Kate - Thanks so much for the very kind words. We will pass your comments along to our housekeeping crew. We're very happy that you had a good stay at Saugatuck Bungalow. Please keep us in mind for next time. Bruce and Donna
We had the best time at The Bungalow! Check in was a breeze - no issues at all. The house was very clean and well-stocked with everything we needed for the entire stay, including a washer/dryer in the basement. Communication with the owner was very fast, polite, and easy, which resolved a minor issue very quickly. The location is AMAZING, and having a spot to park in Saugatuck is a must - we appreciated this so much. We walked to dinner, shops, and parks every day, and we enjoyed Oval Beach, which is a nice, short drive from the house. The kids loved Nelis Dutch Village in Holland, as well as Bumbleberry Acres in South Haven. We hope to be able to stay at The Bungalow again next year! We couldn’t have asked for more from this location!

Hi Jennifer - Thank you so much for your review. We're very happy that you had such a good time in Saugatuck. Good to hear that the Dutch Village was fun (never been but there always seems to be a good crowd) and we never heard of Bumbleberry Acres before, but we have now. And thank you for the re-book for next year. Enjoy the rest of the summer. Bruce and Donna
Hi Patrick - Sorry for the long delay but thanks for the nice review. Hope that you had a great weekend in Saugatuck and keep us in mind for your next trip. Bruce and Donna

Hi Natalie - Thanks so much for your review. We love the location also - walk to town but easy driving to lots of places. Retro Boats is awesome. We think our cleaning crew is great. Thanks for staying with us and looking forward to having you as guests again. Bruce and Donna
Just wanted to thank Bruce and Donna for sharing their wonderful place with my family. We could not ask for a better location and super clean home to stay in. We loved being super close to town and also how well the home was stock with all the little things making our stay feel like being at our own home. We really enjoyed all the information Bruce and Donna share before we arrive just puts a extra little relief knowing we our put in good hands with Bruce and Donna and have no worry’s before or during our stay. Thanks again from the Porrett Family

We're passing your comments along to our cleaning staff - we think they do a great job also. We're so happy you enjoyed your stay with us and hope you keep us in mind for future trips.

We had a wonderful time at this property. Has all of the necessities for a local getaway and great proximity to downtown Saugatuck. Everything was clean and stocked for our arrival.
Great place!
The area had a power outage days before our planned arrival. Bruce contacted us to keep us informed, give options to adjust our stay, and kept us informed until we arrived. The bungalow was as described-a great spot for our family to relax, a convenient location to walk to all the local shops and eateries, and close to the beach. We loved our trip and our stay here is a key reason why we enjoyed it.

We're also happy that you had a good time and good experiences while you were here. Thanks for staying with us and we hope you keep us in mind for any future trips. Bruce and Donna
