Host and amenities were fantastic. We all had a great time. The house was absolutely fantastic for our large group. Spacious beyond belief,6 large bedrooms, game room with pool table, it was perfect
We had a lovely weekend retreat for a group of teacher friends. The kitchen was expertly stocked with plenty of cookingware and a large oven for a homemade breakfast for 11, the space was open and each bedroom and bathroom provided some privacy for a large group. Even though it was only mid April the weather was warm enough to sit on the roof. Easy drive to hiking trails and to Saugutuk for the spring market and a bit of shopping. Alex was super responsive and courteous. Many of our guests were also fans of the hand soap .
Wow, I would give 10 stars if I could. What a great house for a larger group. Lots of space to be comfortable and spread out if needed. Great amenities for a winter weekend in Michigan with an awesome location in downtown Douglas! The host was very friendly and helpful as well!
Incredible, clean home with plenty of space for everyone. My family came to Michigan to visit family as we live out of state. There was more than enough room for cooking, seating, and lounging. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could need for a large group. The game room provided hours of entertainment. Highly recommend!
The home is beautiful, extremely clean, well furnished, comfortable, and has a very well equipped kitchen. The location is walkable to downtown Douglas, and has lovely water views. We were a group of 15 and had plenty of space for sleeping, cooking, and dining. The backyard and roof deck are lovely as well. The hosts were extremely communicative and clear, and the check in and out processes were very easy. Overall a truly wonderful stay in Douglas.
Our family of 8 enjoyed the stay. The kitchen was nicely equipped and convenient with laundry facilities very easy to use also. The large open living area includes kitchen and dining so we could all be together.
Only great things today about the house, the property, the location, and the hosts. We were on a guys golf trip but I have already told my wife we should consider renting for a friends and family trip. 5 stars all the way
The house was perfect for our group, it was clean and modern. The beds and bedding were very comfortable. Great location and beautiful view of the water. Everything we would need was provided by the owner. I wish it was a bit warmer outside to use those amenities but we still had a fabulous time. I would definitely book again.
Had a great time staying here with my family. Location is just a few minutes walk from the shops in Douglass. Even more shops are close by in Saugatuck. Home was clean, in good working order. Kitchen was better stocked than most we have seen. All in all, a wonderful place to stay.
Our family of 9...4 generations, stayed in this fabulous home for 4 nights. It featured well equipped kitchen, spacious backyard for play and lounging, game room, sun deck on the roof and comfortable beds and bathrooms for everyone. Close to walking downtown Douglas, and close drive to dunes and beaches.
Had a great time staying at this property. House had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Excellent location was within minutes of everything in Saugatuck/Douglas. Great house and location for families.

We had a fairly large group and the house was the perfect size to fit everyone comfortably and then some. There are a lot of amenities at the house itself and just a short walk or drive from local shops, coffee, & restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay!
Kitchen fully equipped with everything you need. Plenty of space, close to town. Only drawback was the grill wasn’t working. Communicated this to the property owner for repair. Everything else was great!
Loved this house. We had a group of 10 and there was plenty of space for everyone!! The house was fully stocked with everything we needed and super clean when we arrived! Added bonus - The beds were the most comfortable I have ever slept on!!
The house is in a great location, you can walk to downtown Douglas, a short drive to Saugatuck and Holland - and several beaches. The open kitchen, dining and living space were great for our group and the backyard is lovely! We cooked several meals and the well stocked kitchen was appreciated!

About the host
Hosted by Douglas Modern Villa OwnerRez Inquiry Email
We are a family of five, with three kids. We live in in Chicago, and we have been coming to Saugatuck/Douglas multiple times a year for well over a decade. Our Saugatuck house, SAUGATUCK MODERN FARMHOUSE, was purchased as our second home, and we still use it as such. We enjoyed the area and the hosting experience and recently decided to buy an additional home, DOUGLAS MODERN VILLA. Our parents like to come along and also we like to spend time with other families - these houses are a great way to spend time with multi-generational families, groups of friends, or a couples getaway. We really enjoy what Saugatuck can offer year-around. In the summer, our favorites activities are Oval Beach, walking around downtown, getting coffee at Uncommon Grounds, ice cream at Kilwin’s, and food from Phil’s, Wicks Park, and Everyday People Cafe. In the winter we tend to stay in more, cook big family meals, still enjoy the downtown areas and the many businesses that stay open year around for the locals.
On his free time, Alex is an aspiring home chef, and as a result, the kitchens are equipped with everything you would need to put together a great meal. From grilling, sous vide, cast iron and dutch ovens, baking pans, food processors, blenders your needs should be covered. Also there is sufficient dishware, silverware and serving dishes to put a meal together for the full capacity of the house with room to spare.
Why they chose this property
One of the main questions we had was if we wanted to be in town or on the beach. When we came to Saugatuck/Douglas, we found that we would go to the beach 3-5 times a week, depending on weather, but we would come into town multiple times a day, so the decision was easy. DOUGLAS MODERN VILLA is in a great location - quiet neighborhood yet a short walk to downtown. Also we wanted a place that could fit 2-3 families with multiple kids each, plus one or two sets of parents, or a nanny.
What makes this property unique
DOUGLAS MODERN VILLA may appear deceptively small from the pictures. It is in fact 4,000 SF, 6 bedroom/4.5 bathrooms and accommodates several groups and allows privacy as well as shared space. It is newly built, and it is configured with multiple private spaces / desks and premium internet service for those folks that can't stay unplugged from work for too long.
