Piccolo Cottage - Great Location - Walking distance to Douglas Beach!

This adorable cottage features two bedrooms (each with their own bathroom), and plenty of areas to kick back and relax! Enjoy the sun room, back patio or short walk to the beach. Piccolo cottage is just a quick car ride or bike ride to downtown Douglas or Saugatuck.

Wonderful cottage
The cottage is just always described. We had planned for three girlfriends, but only two of us could make it. It would be perfect for three or four friends. Very clean, well stocked, great location. Would definitely recommend.

Piccolo
This house was charming and a perfect place to relax. One of us suffers from severe allergies and the space under the bed and behind the bedside tables was so dusty, she needed to clean it in order to be able to sleep. But the house was otherwise immaculate and very comfortable! We loved our time there!

Very Nice & Quiet
My cousin and I really enjoyed Piccolo Cottage. It was very clean and decorated nicely. The beds were comfortable and the main bathroom was large. The kitchen had everything we needed to make our stay pleasant. Our only complaint was we think it would be very helpful to have a shelf installed over the sink in the small bathroom. Otherwise everything was perfect and we loved the area!

Location, location, location
My family and I enjoyed our stay in this sweet little cottage. The location simply cannot be beat. We started and ended each day on the gorgeous beach, enjoying a brief, albeit heavy trafficked, walk to/from. The house was outfitted with beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. We were also an easy walk from lunch at the Rootbeer Barrell, coffee on the charming main street and other amenities. Communications with the property management company were superb and check-in/check-out straight forward and simple. I was tempted to jump on the rating conga line, but have some feedback that may be helpful to others. First, the bed in the main bedroom has the softest mattress I have ever slept on. My back has been complaining ever since I departed. The pillows were also uncomfortable. I had read a review from a year ago detailing some elements lacking in the kitchen. My family and I really enjoy cooking together and enjoying leisurely meals around a table. The property manager had responded that they would let the owners know of the concerns that had been shared, but clearly there was no response. There is no pot in the entire kitchen that is large enough to accommodate boiling a box of pasta, or an ear of corn that has not been snapped in two. Purchasing a 4-piece set of pots and pans would not be costly and would go a long ways toward ameliorating the usability of the kitchen. I also think that one somewhat thin, somewhat small bath towels/person is inadequate for a 5-day stay.

Great Location
The cottage was quaint and really close to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay and loved the atmosphere of the town. Our only drawback was there were not shades for the overhead lights so it stayed light in the rooms past bedtime for our kids which made it a little challenging for them to sleep. Other than that, great outdoor space, enough room to hang out together, and many great things to do around town.

Perfect cottage
I loved Piccolo Cottage! It was the perfect size for one person. It was perfectly appointed, even has sharp knives. The cottage is well located, close to Douglas beach and an easy bike ride to the root beer place, the grocery store and downtown Douglas. The rental company was frequently in touch. I liked feeling supported as a single traveler. Thank you!

Comfy house, Quiet neighborhood
We very much enjoyed our stay at this quiet neighborhood house just a 5 minute walk from Douglas Beach. Though the house is not that large, the bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen are quite spacious. In addition, there is a small living room and an enclosed, 3-season porch. The house is furnished with modern appliances and many thoughtful extras. The realty agent for the property was attentive and responsive. The morning after we arrived we noticed that the microwave was not working. We called in at 9:30 AM and by 4 PM the problem was taken care of. We appreciated the quick service.

Wonderful respite
Clean and tidy with whimsical, fun decor— easy walks to the beach or along Lakeshore drive. We enjoyed Douglas too, as it was less crowded than Saugatuck for Labor Day. Sunsets were spectacular. Will be back! Thank you

My thoughts
The property needs painting. The chairs in the dining area are uncomfortable. The cooking pots and pans are NOT up to speed in terms of available pots of a reasonable size for cooking pasta. The property should supply better towels for the bathrooms. The master bath shower was not usable. The property should provide coffee (there were two coffee makers but no coffee for them). The property should supply additional cleaning materials (soap for the washer and dish washer) and not have the renter buy such at the local store. We had to buy pods for the washer which we have no use for in our home and we used both pods for the dish washer and generally just hand washed the dishes. The area is lovely, the proximity to a public beach is a plus, but I feel that the price for this rental was overly high.

Girls Trip
We had a great time staying here for our Girls Trip! We loved the cottage and it was very clean and had great spaces to hang out and a great kitchen. We also appreciated the thoughtful touches, like having beach chairs available for our use. We wished there were a few extra towels and blankets but other than that, no complaints. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone and if we ever come back to this area we will look this place up!!
