Very cute and convenient place
We stayed here for our annual girls weekend and loved it! It’s about a 20 minute easy walk downtown. The house is very clean and cute. We had everything we needed, expect for the corn hole bags, we were bummed we only had the boards but everything else made up for it!

Better In person than in pictures.
This was a beautiful, 2 Bedroom home. It looked even better in person than it did in pictures! Beautifully decorated and well-maintained. You will not be disappointed if you decide to book here. The one caveat is that it’s a little too close to the main road leading to Douglas. So traffic noise can be somewhat noisy at times. But nothing too bad. And it’s a nice leisurely 10 minute walk to downtown Saugatuck. We would definitely book again!

Great location, great house
This house is just a 10 minute walk to all the action in Saugatuck. We really enjoyed the walkability, the front porch and the backyard. It would be nice if the property had darker curtains/ shades in the bedrooms. I read of this issue in a past review so we brought disposable blackout shades that stick to the window frame. Also, there could be more furniture in the living room as well as blankets. (currently there are no blankets in the living room just the bedroom). Other than that, no complaints.

Nice property but some problems
The check on was good and the property was clean. The main problem is there are NO CLOSETS. NOT ONE. Also while checkin was good checking out was a little over the top. Rented many VRBO’s and never had to strip the beds and put bedding and towels into bags.

Rocking on the front porch
Great front porch for drinks and appetizers after a long day. Nice neighborhood with friendly folks out walking. Close enough to walk to town. You can zig zag a bit to avoid the steep hill into town on Old Allegan. We’re a group of 65 year olds who could do it without issue. Some of our group needed to drive. Close to the dune buggy ride which was a blast but you need to hold on tight. We enjoyed our stay at the Blue Whale! Great location.

Porch sittin’ heaven
We loved this place! So bright and sunny, great kitchen, nice walk to Saugatuck’s wonderful downtown area. The highlight for us was the big front porch, which has several rocking chairs. We spent hours there, talking and watching the trees blow around.

Wonderful Stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Blue Whale. Very quaint and special. Just a couple of small items to work on and it would have been perfect. There were quite a few stink bugs when we first arrived. We adjusted temperature a little bit and they seemed to not like chillier Temps. The walk in shower needs a safety mat. The tiles get quite slippery and we had to make some adjustments foe our 84 year old Mom. The shower doesn't drain well either which makes things difficult as well. We struggled with the tv remote a little. We would have loved some directions on how to get local channel news we have. Cable at home. Small fixes or inconveniences but we would stay here again for sure!!!
