7BR Luxury Retreat - Heated Pool - Walk to Downtown Douglas - Near Saugatuck

A LUXURY RETREAT DESIGNED FOR TIME TOGETHER

Welcome to Randolph Pool House, a completely renovated 7-bedroom, 3.5-bath retreat designed for families and friends to gather, reconnect and experience the best of Saugatuck/Douglas together.

Enjoy the rare combination of a private heated in-ground pool, five King bedrooms, beautiful gathering spaces and incredible walkability. Spend the morning at Lake Michigan, the afternoon around your private pool, walk into Douglas for dinner, and end the evening gathered around the fire.

With room for up to 16 guests and multiple spaces to spread out, everyone can vacation together without feeling crowded.


--- THE LOCATION ---

One of the best amenities at Randolph Pool House isn't inside the home - it's the location.

• Approximately 4 blocks to downtown Douglas restaurants, coffee, galleries, boutiques and ice cream

• Less than 1 mile from Lake Michigan

• Minutes from downtown Saugatuck and Oval Beach

• Easy access to boating, golf, wineries, breweries and everything the Saugatuck/Douglas area has to offer

LOCAL FAVORITE: Our private back gate provides incredibly convenient access to the nearby grocery store for those inevitable mid-vacation supply runs!


--- A KITCHEN BUILT FOR GATHERING ---

The heart of the home is our chef's kitchen, centered around a massive 10-foot quartz island and designed to actually function when you're feeding a crowd.

• TWO dishwashers for easy cleanup after group meals

• Beverage refrigerator

• Dedicated coffee station with Keurig + drip coffee makers

• Dining seating for 12, plus 4 additional seats at the island

• Generous prep and gathering space for family meals, morning coffee and everything in between


--- YOUR PRIVATE BACKYARD RETREAT ---

Step through the oversized glass sliders into a private, fully fenced backyard designed for long Michigan summer days.

• PRIVATE HEATED POOL: In-ground and open seasonally from Memorial Day through mid-October 1, weather permitting.

• OUTDOOR LIVING: Large deck with outdoor dining and gathering spaces

• CUSTOM OUTDOOR SHOWER: Perfect for rinsing off after the pool or a day at Lake Michigan

• FIRE-PIT AREA: Adirondack seating for evenings around the fire

• Fully fenced backyard with room to relax and play

The spacious deck connects directly to the home, including private outdoor access from the primary suite, making indoor/outdoor living easy throughout your stay.


--- DESIGNED FOR LARGE FAMILIES ---

One of the things that makes Randolph Pool House especially well-suited for multigenerational families and multiple families traveling together is the ability to be together without being on top of one another.

Seven bedrooms and multiple indoor gathering spaces give everyone room to spread out.

Unlike many large vacation homes that reach their guest capacity through bunk rooms and sofa beds, Randolph offers FIVE King bedrooms, giving couples and adults comfortable private sleeping spaces of their own.


--- SPACE TO GATHER...OR SPREAD OUT ---

MAIN LIVING: Bright, open gathering space with 75" Smart TV and direct views and access to the pool and backyard.

SUNROOM: A light-filled favorite for morning coffee, conversation or a quiet escape from the rest of the group.

LOWER-LEVEL LOUNGE: Second living room with an oversized sectional — perfect for kids, movies or game days.

DEDICATED WORKSPACE: A separate quiet sitting area with desk and chair for anyone who unfortunately has to sneak in a little work while on vacation!


--- SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS ---

With seven bedrooms, including FIVE King bedrooms, Randolph offers comfortable sleeping arrangements for larger families without sacrificing adult privacy.

BEDROOM 1 - PRIMARY SUITE:
King bed | Private en-suite bathroom | Sliding door with direct deck, backyard and pool access

Maximum occupancy is 16 total people (18 including infants). This limit is established by our Village short-term rental permit and is strictly enforced. The registered guest count must accurately reflect everyone staying at or visiting the property.

QUIET HOURS:
Village quiet hours are 10 PM–8 AM. We ask that guests be especially mindful of outdoor noise during these hours.

NO GLASS OUTDOORS:
For everyone's safety, glass is not permitted anywhere outside or in the pool area.

Stayed over Christmas and had a wonderful time. Our host could not have been more accommodating and gracious to us. The home is located well and equipped with everything needed. Too cold for the pool but we did enjoy the fire pit and charcoal grill. Also took daily walks on the beach which is a short drive, few mins. We had 5 adults and 2 kids and the home was more than big enough for our stay and activities. Park behind school came in handy to wear out the boys. Highly recommend and will use again in the future.

This property was amazing! The backyard and pool were used everyday by the adults and kids on the trip. There were enough rooms and bathrooms for everyone and the open concept kitchen and living room made each day fun being with everyone! Even when there were problems, the host was quick at responding to our needs and helped fix the problem right away! Some bedrooms did not really have storage space for clothes and the kitchen lacked a pantry. Other than that, everything was great! Location to town and Saugatuck were also really good with walkability to ice cream, parks, the water, the grocery store, and restaurants!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Kelly! I am absolutely thrilled that both the adults and the kids had a blast in the pool and backyard every day - that is exactly what we love to hear! It’s also fantastic that the open-concept layout gave your group the perfect space to hang out and make fun memories together. Thank you as well for the fantastic feedback regarding the bedroom storage and pantry space. We truly appreciate you sharing that, and we are already looking into creative ways to add more storage options to make the home even more comfortable for large groups! And aren't those quick walks into town for ice cream, the parks, and restaurants just the best? You were wonderful guests to host, and we would love to welcome you and your family back anytime! -Kristin

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We’ve spent years making memories in Douglas and Saugatuck, and fell in love with this community. That passion inspired us to pour our heart and soul into fully renovating Randolph Pool House. Thoughtfully designed so families and friends can gather, relax, and create their own memories here.

We call Ann Arbor, Michigan home, and when we’re not cheering on our Wolverines, you’ll usually find us exploring new places with our kids (and spending about 80% of our time as their chauffeurs!). As a busy family of four ourselves, we designed this house specifically to make group travel feel easy, not chaotic.

We can’t wait to share this special home and hope you love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Centrally located within walking distance to literally everything! Park your car when you arrive, and never use it again until you depart. Steps to downtown Douglas and the local grocery store, Saugatuck Brewing Company, the bowling alley, boutiques, ice cream and a park for the kids to play. Less than a mile to Douglas Beach and just a little further to downtown Saugatuck, the Dunes, local wineries and orchards -- literally so much to do all within arms reach.

What makes this property unique

This property was fully renovated in 2025, specifically designed for those who like to travel in larger groups, but still like private time. Outside of the bedrooms, there are over seven separate common spaces, where everyone can find peace and beauty. The sun-room is all guests favorite morning coffee nook!
