This adorable cottage features two bedrooms (each with their own bathroom), and plenty of areas to kick back and relax! Enjoy the sun room, back patio or short walk to the beach. Piccolo cottage is just a quick car ride or bike ride to downtown Douglas or Saugatuck.

I think overall the property was fine, but it’s dark by way of being in the trees, which is lovely but dark if you like that, it was great

Michael, we are very disappointed that you only gave Piccolo Cottage 3 stars. To be honest, we have never had a complaint regarding this adorable and quaint cottage in all the years we have managed it (over 8 years). If anything, it is truly one of our more popular properties (people come back year after year) A 3-star review negatively impacts the property. Again, a 3-star review seems quite harsh for something we or the property has no control of. Jaqua Vacations

The home was very clean and well represented. It had everything that we could have asked for. The property management firm was amazing and checked in constantly to insure that we had what we needed. I was very impressed. The location was perfect for us, easy drive to Saugatuck and a nice walk to the beach. I highly recommend it to anyone that wants a quiet spot with easy access to many activities.

Great location! Great home! Close to everything! Only thing I would suggest is to put a small, thin table in 2nd bathroom for toiletries. Besides that, it truly was a great vacation rental!
