At Ease
At Ease is a cozy, well-appointed upstairs retreat perfectly located at the north end of downtown Saugatuck. Guests consistently rave about the unbeatable walkable location—close enough to enjoy everything downtown has to offer, yet just far enough away to feel peaceful and relaxed.
Step outside and you're moments from award-winning restaurants, charming boutiques, art galleries, ice cream shops, and the local theater. When Lake Michigan is calling, Oval Beach and Douglas Beach are just a quick drive away and offer wide sandy shores, dunes, and unforgettable sunsets. For a scenic, car-free option, walk three blocks to the historic Chain Ferry, cross the river, and enjoy a pleasant 15-minute walk to the beach. Guests also love nearby outdoor options like Mt. Baldhead and Saugatuck Dunes State Park for hiking and nature views.
Inside this second-floor unit, you'll find a bright and welcoming retreat that blends cozy charm with modern comfort. The open living, dining, and kitchen area is filled with natural light from surrounding windows, creating an airy place to unwind. Relax on the sofa sleeper, stream your favorite shows on the Smart TV, or enjoy a casual meal at the dining table or snack bar after a day of exploring Saugatuck.
Step out onto the balcony to sip your morning coffee or enjoy dinner for four while taking in views of the flowerbeds, street, and glimpses of the river—one of guests' favorite features.
The kitchen is compact but thoughtfully stocked with the essentials for easy meals at home. The cozy queen bedroom offers ample storage and a window AC unit during warmer months for comfortable sleeping. The full bathroom, accessed through the bedroom, features a shower/tub combo for easy refreshes after a day exploring town or beach.
With convenient parking right out front and everything you need within easy walking distance, At Ease makes a comfortable and carefree home base. It's an ideal spot for couples, friends, or anyone looking to enjoy a relaxed, car-free getaway while exploring the charm and beauty of Saugatuck.

Great location near town - simple, clean 1 bedroom that is a nice place to rest after full days in Saugatuck. The bathroom tub didn't drain well but other than that everything was great.
Place was exactly as listed. Cozy and clean! Great location! I didn’t have any issues during the stay but from the communication received throughout I knew, if I did, I would be taken care of!
The location is fantastic. We were right in town, were able to walk anywhere, and the beach was only a few minutes away by car. Parking is right outside the main entrance and was very convenient, and the condo was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook a full breakfast.
This place is perfect for a couple. The listing says it sleeps 4, but that assumes 2 people in the bed and 2 people on the pullout couch; however there is no way 2 grown adults could comfortably sleep on the pullout. The pullout is old and the mattress is not in great shape. Our 2 young girls shared the pullout but our 12 year old ended up on the floor because she was so uncomfortable. We were told the owner purchased a new pullout couch but it is back ordered.
Overall, yes the place is small but it’s plenty comfortable for 2 adults or for a family of 4 with small children. I would recommend it due to the location, the cleanliness, the convenience, and the friendliness of the company.

Thank you for your feedback, Anne. The sofa sleeper has been replaced and is brand new with a much more comfortable foam mattress. We hope you will come back for another visit!
Very disappointing. The pull out couch wouldn't pull out and got stuck half way in and out. A representative needed to wrestle with it for 15 minutes to get it out. At that time I commented on the condition of the mattress. It was absolutely terrible. The mattress had springs poking out and holes in it. He said he would contact the owner and in the meantime see if he had a mattress topper. I never heard from him again. I wound up having to buy an air mattress rather than leaving a day early or paying to stay somewhere else. In addition, the tiny air conditioner in the bedroom was intended to cool the whole apartment. It did not! And it was so loud it interfered with conversation and sleep. The bathroom was tiny. You couldn't sit on the toilet without turning at an angle. The shower didn't drain well and was narrow. The cheap plastic curtain kept trying to cling to me while showering. The two things I look for in a rental is a good night sleep and a good shower and this provided neither of those. This location should not be rented until changes are made. It was awful!
