About this property

WALK to Lake Michigan AND Saugatuck ~ Includes Bicycles!

Spotless and exceptionally charming, this home is located a very short (1 mile) walk or bike ride to Lake Michigan's Douglas Beach. 900 sq. ft. Two bedrooms. Two baths. Large private deck which is colorfully furnished, completely surrounded by pine trees and adorned with plants and flowers.

Saugatuck is the 'Art Coast', so we have decorated with original artwork in every room - pieces we have collected on travels to Australia and various countries in Africa and Asia.

During the evening, come home and relax in your 6 person hot tub (May through October) while you watch the fireflies and listen to bell practice, provided by your next door neighbors at the beautiful Douglas Community Church.

We'd stay again

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The home was clean and well taken care of. My favorite place was the back deck. Private with mature trees. I had difficulty each morning choosing which cozy seating area I would sip my coffee in. Beds were super comfy and the furnishings were very welcoming. We would definitely stay there again!

Clean and Cozy

This property was spotless and artfully decorated. Its location was so convenient to Saugatuck and Holland. The only thing we feel needs to be changed is the door to the garage does not lock from the inside. otherwise it was an excellent place to stay.

This was one of the best properties we have ever rented. The house is nice and clean. It is a wonderful location for our vacation purposes. All one floor in a great little location. Julie was helpful. We had problems with the TV in the bedroom that stopped working a couple of days in to our stay. Julie did give us suggestions to get it back online. The back deck and hot tub is a sweet cozy oasis. Felt like we were in a private sanctuary.

Sisters Getaway

When we each walked in, we all had different reactions like “Wow” or “Love this” or “Nicer than I expected”. Lots of time to just sit and relax—back yard patio was so nice—and we were so close to everything we wanted to do: shopping, going for a boat ride, wine tasting, and eating out.

Girls trip

The house was nicer than the description posted. The beds were very comfortable and clean. The deck was very nice for us to hang out and use the hot tub. Something we didn’t know but was very convenient and awesome, the public transportation will pick you up at this place for a 6 round trip fee, just need to call and schedule. Once we found this out it made a big difference so all of us could drink with no worries.

A great place to stay while exploring the Saugatuck Douglas area.

The property was in a great location close to Saugatuck and Douglas. It was a short drive to Oval Beach. The house was homey & comfortable & the back deck was a nice place to hang out.

Thanks for your hospitality!

The duplex was quite comfortable. Kitchen well stocked with dishes, pots and pans. Food in the refrigerator kept freezing despite lowering the temperature. Great location. Nice deck but hot tub had tepid water. No instructions on Many books and a wide variety on the book shelves. Great location! However, there weren't any notes on places to eat, the beaches, maps, etc. These were easy to find at local stores. When I booked the listing it stated two king-size beds in one bedroom. Since the photo did not show two beds, I emailed the host on Feb 7. Our stay began on June 16. She emailed me on June 11 to tell me that there was only one king bed and one queen bed in the duplex. Too late to get a refund and too late to book someplace with three beds. She was very kind and moved a twin bed into the master bedroom so we would have three beds. Check-in is 4 pm. I called her at 5:30 on the day of check-in to say that I had not received the door code. She was kind enough to unlock the door for our arrival but I still had to text her to ask for the code and for the internet password, which she promptly provided.Overall, this is a great place and we would stay again but the communication could be much better!

This rental worked out great for our group. Clean and comfortable, and great location, too. The only hiccup was that Google Maps took us to a house across the street, but we figured it out eventually!

Cute house in a cute town

The property and location were great! We were able to walk to Oval beach and to get coffee. Also in a great location to quickly drive to Holland. However the online description is not clear. There are 2 bedrooms and each bedroom has 1 bed. Also the address did not work in Google Maps. However, small things that did not ruin our trip!

About the host

Hosted by Julianne Fletcher

Host profile image
I love to decorate.....and redecorate and re-redecorate. If you've stayed with us before, you can bet your last dime something will be different. :-) Being a "zero-footprint-tree-hugger" makes my decorating addiction more challenging but much more fun.

I live very nearby and am available 24/7 during your stay.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this place because of its quiet location and its proximity to both 'the big Lake' and Saugatuck/Douglas.

What makes this property unique

We've lovingly cared for this place and decorated with original art (collected from around the world) in every room.
