About the host

Hosted by Douglas Modern Villa OwnerRez Inquiry Email

Host profile image
We are a family of five, with three kids. We live in in Chicago, and we have been coming to Saugatuck/Douglas multiple times a year for well over a decade. Our Saugatuck house, SAUGATUCK MODERN FARMHOUSE, was purchased as our second home, and we still use it as such. We enjoyed the area and the hosting experience and recently decided to buy an additional home, DOUGLAS MODERN VILLA. Our parents like to come along and also we like to spend time with other families - these houses are a great way to spend time with multi-generational families, groups of friends, or a couples getaway. We really enjoy what Saugatuck can offer year-around. In the summer, our favorites activities are Oval Beach, walking around downtown, getting coffee at Uncommon Grounds, ice cream at Kilwin’s, and food from Phil’s, Wicks Park, and Everyday People Cafe. In the winter we tend to stay in more, cook big family meals, still enjoy the downtown areas and the many businesses that stay open year around for the locals.

On his free time, Alex is an aspiring home chef, and as a result, the kitchens are equipped with everything you would need to put together a great meal. From grilling, sous vide, cast iron and dutch ovens, baking pans, food processors, blenders your needs should be covered. Also there is sufficient dishware, silverware and serving dishes to put a meal together for the full capacity of the house with room to spare.

Why they chose this property

One of the main questions we had was if we wanted to be in town or on the beach. When we came to Saugatuck/Douglas, we found that we would go to the beach 3-5 times a week, depending on weather, but we would come into town multiple times a day, so the decision was easy. DOUGLAS MODERN VILLA is in a great location - quiet neighborhood yet a short walk to downtown. Also we wanted a place that could fit 2-3 families with multiple kids each, plus one or two sets of parents, or a nanny.

What makes this property unique

DOUGLAS MODERN VILLA may appear deceptively small from the pictures. It is in fact 4,000 SF, 6 bedroom/4.5 bathrooms and accommodates several groups and allows privacy as well as shared space. It is newly built, and it is configured with multiple private spaces / desks and premium internet service for those folks that can't stay unplugged from work for too long.
