The unit was updated and clean and had a lot of storage. It was a perfect location to walk into town to shop and grab a coffee. There was a wonderful breakfast/lunch restaurant within half a block and great lunch/dinner restaurant within a block. We had a snow storm while we were there and it felt very cozy inside. Would definitely book again.
I really loved this property. Very well maintained. Great location. Walking distance to everything in town. The back deck was a nice place to sit and relax. Will definitely stay again. No complaints.
We had a wonderful stay at the Water Street Retreat. The unit is comfortable and clean.The location is a short walking distance to the shops and restaurants. Our host responded quickly when I had a question about the air conditioner. We had a great time and look forward to returning soon.
The unit was very clean, within walking distance to all the downtown shops and restaurants. All the basics were provided, which was really nice. Great communication with the host. The only thing we didn't like was the bed itself. The bed was very old and uncomfortable. Other than that it was a great place to rent for a weekend.
Perfect place for our long anniversary weekend. It was in the perfect location, within walking distance to pretty much everything in Saugatuck. It was very clean and had just the amenities that we needed. Also an assigned parking spot was a huge bonus. Would definitely recommend and stay there again.
We had a wonderful time staying in one of the cottages. The location was perfect! We enjoyed being able to walk to morning coffee as well as dinner and ice cream every night.
The cottage is cozy and convenient. We loved the handy parking and short walk to restaurants and shops. It was very comfortable and provided everything needed to enjoy our stay! This was perfect for a short trip to enjoy Sagatauck!
Wonderful place. Great for our small family of 4. You cannot beat this location! This was our second time staying and it was equally as great as the first time. Very clean, plenty of linens! We will absolutely be back!
Great property and place to stay in the heart of Saugatuck. Walking distance to all of the great shops and restaurants! Perfect for the two of us. Would love to stay here again.
Close to restaurants and shopping but not it the middle of everything, which was perfect.
Condo was just right for 2 adults and 2 kids. Quick stay, but will definitely return in the future.
We really loved this place! It was a great price, and really close to downtown, and a great coffee shop. Even in the winter, we enjoyed the beauties of Saugatuck. We didn’t have any problems hearing the neighbors as some people had listed, it was quite cozy. The check in was so easy and checkout honestly was too! We will definitely be back to make more memories here.
I absolutely loved my stay at this Quaint Condo, the location was perfect for enjoying downtown Saugatuck and all it has to offer. I loved being across the street from the Kalamazoo river as well, I will highly recommend this Quaint Condo!
