Wonderful week!

We are a family of six — ages ranging from 2 to 75. This home is totally gorgeous and has everything we needed to make our stay one of the best we’ve had. The little ones LOVED the pool and the play room — which was well stocked with toys for them. The beds and baths were luxurious, and the kitchen was fully stocked with dishes and cookware making meal prep easy. The outdoors area is spectacular with lush landscaping and gardens, a fire-pit - and chickens! The location makes it easy to get to the beach and other fun things in the area. We totally enjoyed our stay.

Perfect family home!

We loved our "home away from home"! A great location & plenty to do even on a rainy day. Our grandsons (2 & 5) loved the huge playroom/tv room and the pool. And the 5-year-old didn't want to leave the chickens. He rushed to help every time we needed to take care of them. Plenty to do in the area and many kid friendly places!

About the host

Hosted by Anne and Bill

As grandparents, we wanted to created a home that offers lots of fun and wholesome summer activities for kids, families and adults of all ages. This unique home has so much to offer with the gardens and big yard and the pool, multiple public beaches closeby and the proximity to fabulous activities. We love to walk shoreline at West Park or Pier Cove to collect sea glass and rocks. Our older grandchildren love Oval Beach, going to Saugatuck Dunes State Park, biking the great paths, kayaking the rivers closeby, eating the best Deli sandwiches at the Farmhouse Deli, going on the dune buggy ride or a "donut boat" ride. All ages enjoy picking strawberries, peaches and blueberries in season super close-by at Cranes. We love to take our young grandchildren to the Tiny Toy store in Saugatuck and then walk to Kilwin’s for ice cream. I love gardening and have a large vegetable garden and sometimes chickens (all enclosed) in the summer. We have a new ping pong table and many family games and puzzles. We are always working on projects and recently completed the the new fruit and berry garden and the mudroom renovation. The laundry room was remodeled in 2021 and the new washer and dryer are a pleasure to use ! We expanded pool deck to make more room for new lounge chairs, the poolside dining table and the Weber gas grill. The small heated pool is the best entertainment for children and families! The new outdoor shower is super convenient before and after swimming. There are so many places to explore and fun things to do close by but then again the house is pretty magical and hard to leave! I am an avid cook so have a fully equipped kitchen with high end amenities. This is above and beyond your average rental- it is definitely an upscale experience and very well maintained. It is a private home that is rented occasionally. We limit the number of rentals and people to keep it clean and lightly used and we welcome people who will treat it with the utmost respect.

Why they chose this property

Exceptionally well maintained and managed by owners who want you to have a great experience- this is a cut above your average rental with high end furniture and amenities. Great location - convenient to fun activities for all ages...wineries, dune rides, beach walks, town of Saugatuck, Douglas, South Haven and Holland! Located on one of the nicest roads in Western Michigan. Open floor plan, large spaces, bright and cheery with 62 plus windows allows you to enjoy the outside while inside! You will see lots of deer and nature from the windows. Located with huge yard and so many gardens- and it is a beautiful location with lots of space that is perfect setting for family activities. The private heated pool is small and sparkling clean and heated. We have grandchildren of all ages so the house has baby gates and a baby pool fence, high chair, toys, etc. which we can set up if you have young children. We are always working on the home and recently added custom closet organizers, remodeled the back entry, new window wells and egress windows, new regulation fencing for the pool. Updated laundry room fall of 2021 with new washer and dryer. We care that you have a wonderful time on your vacation and work hard to make it a wonderful place for you to spend your vacation time.

What makes this property unique

Pool, beautiful very large yard and multiple fruit and vegetable gardens, amazing location, very clean home with high end appointments. There are multiple spaces you can "hang out"...a living room, a family room and a basement in addition to two indoor dining areas and one dining table outside. We only rent it occasionally and limit the rental occupancy to 7 people to minimize wear and tear and traffic in the home. Recently purchased and renovated by retired professionals. This is a cut above your typical rental managed by a company that had old furniture and outdated appliances. A more personalized experience. Quite a bit of the furniture and throw carpets are new and some quite expensive so we ask you take your shoes off and wear slippers in the house and to take care to leave the home in great shape. White towels and extra sheets are provided if need to place on furniture to protect from spills from children (or adults!)
