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.

The place was excellent! Clean, nicely decorated. We especially enjoyed the large back deck and hot tub. Rode the bikes to Douglas Beach, less than a mile away. Short drive to Saugatuck and Oval beach.

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.

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.

Great!

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!

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.

Lovely stay in Douglas/Saugatuck

The house was perfect for my wife and I. Very quiet area and close to everything. We even spent time at the local outlet mall only 30 miles away. The deck and hot tub really were the highlight of our stay.

Cozy Retreat

The property is just a short drive or bike ride to Douglas, Sagatuk and walking and biking trails. The unit was spotless with everything you need for a comfortable stay. There is a private patio and hot tub in the back which was a lovely surprise. The property host was very responsive to any questions I had. I highly recommend this vacation rental.

We loved our stay here! The beds were comfy, the deck was very nicely decorated! We reached out for an extra blanket (it is getting cold at night again) and the owner was more than gracious and brought us blankets! We would definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay at this duplex! It was very clean and had everything we needed! The deck was really nice! We spent our entire first evening outside on the deck. We even saw a deer. The two bedrooms and two full bathrooms were perfect for the two couples we had. We also liked that it was quiet and outside of all the busyness of Saugatuk. Douglas beach is just down the road and very nice! We will definitly try to stay here when we come back

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!

Wonderful Host and Amazing Place to Stay!

We came into town for a family wedding that was taking place in Holland and wanted to be close to Lake Michigan. Julianne was a wonderful host through whole stay! The rental was clean and decorated perfectly. There were bookshelves with so many interesting books for guests to look through and read. The location was an easy walk to the public access beach. Local restaurants and stores were very close. We would absolutely request to stay here again if we come back to this area.

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.

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.
