Out and About is an airy, dog-friendly cottage near Lake Michigan beach access and is waiting for you to host your next Michigan getaway! Its quaint exterior appears petite but gives way to an open and spacious home that's perfect for a lakeshore vacation. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy the pristine nature preserve just a short walk from the home's doors. The living area features comfortable and inviting furnishings strategically placed in front of a flatscreen TV, making it the perfect spot to unwind with your friends after a long day at the lake. Gather around the firepit with your friends and plan tomorrow's adventures as you roast some s'mores. The outdoor dining area is another great place to gather as you enjoy some snacks or tasty grilled meals thanks to the gas fireplace.

This property has a rat problem
This property is owned by Vacasa. You just book through Vrbo. On the surface, everything about this place is great. Unfortunately, we saw a rat multiple times in the kitchen. It was clearly familiar and comfortable with the place as it knew right where to scurry and climb that would let it vanish. We had our dog with us and were uneasy thinking about whether the rat had helped itself to our dog's food or water bowls. We look around and there were no supplies to deal with the situation, e.g. traps. It's not uncommon to have rats in the country, of course, but this is a vacation property. We wanted to relax. Repeated calls to Vacasa resulted in representatives telling us to "just stay there" and deal with it. If we'd had a toddler or a baby, you can't tell me that'd be the going advice. We ended our trip early and drove home because of this. Since then, neither Vacasa corporate, the local Vacasa team, nor Vrbo have been any help. We have not been refunded for the time we didn't stay nor have we been given any kind of partial credit to use on either site. No one has even been remotely apologetic. Won't be staying here again, obviously, and also will never book another Vacasa property again. Terrible customer service and money wasted.

Modestly luxurious
We had an amazing time at Out and About. The home was clean and well-stocked, the location was perfect, and Vacasa even left a little treat bag for my dog. I loved that the surroundings were so quiet—perfect for tranquil morning walks and wonderful moments sipping coffee in the sun room, watching deer and wild turkeys across the street. Saugatuck and Holland are only a quick drive away when it was time for a change of pace. We put the fire pit to good use, my dog loved the enclosed yard, and we even saw a few shooting stars with how clear the skies were! The home felt modestly luxurious, including the shower and the incredibly comfy couch. Check-in and check-out were easy and I was tempted to extend our trip a little longer. Thank you so much for such a relaxing stay!

Cozy, Quiet, and Clean
My mom and I stayed here for a weekend and is was lovely. The home is very clean, we had everything we needed, and the location is wonderful. It's right down the road from a nature preserve where you can walk through the woods to Lake Michigan. It's also close to Saugatuck and Douglas and all the area has to offer. I highly recommend!

Spring break 2024
Excellent stay overall, beautiful home, yard, and wonderful location. Loved the nature preserve right across the street and short walk to the beautiful beach. Only thing that could have been better is the fireplace. Communication/instructions provided were not great and the pilot light was out. We therefore could not use it. Would be helpful to make sure it is working well before guests arrive. Otherwise it was an amazing stay and we’d definitely come again! Thank you!
