Exceptional property!
Super location, just as described, clean, comfortable, and most enjoyable. Our group of 8 vacation together annually and we all agreed this was one of the best properties we’ve stayed in. The owner was very communicative and resolved the one issue we had immediately. Recommend this property without hesitation.

Terrific stay in downtown Saugatuck!
Awesome property, very clean, well stocked with everything you could need and the perfect location to watch the boats come in and out of the harbor and within walking distance to all the local shops and restaurants. Marta was a fantastic host providing excellent communication prior to arrival, including many restaurant recommendations and then a lovely welcome basket of treats upon arrival including wine, cheese and chocolates! Will definitely stay at this property in the future. To top it all off this is a super cool building!!

Married with young adult children
This is hands down one of our favorite Vrbo rentals. My husband and I celebrated 3 April birthdays with our young adult children and our son in law in Saugatuck, MI in this comfortable home in the heart of this friendly creative town. The home offers privacy for couples with each room having its own bathroom and wonderful open gathering space. Love that it is also dog friendly and has deck sitting areas to take in music and relax.

Outstanding Property
This condo certainly exceeded expectations. Couldn’t have a better location in downtown Saugatuck right on the river. Walk to everything - restaurants, shopping, nightlife fun. Or just hang out on one of the 2 balconies and people watch or enjoy the beautiful sunsets. As a bonus the condo is like a small gallery with lovely artwork in every room and is furnished with everything you could possibly need - nothing to bring from home! Cheers to the host on the many extra touches. We’ll be back.

Perfect Vacation Home!
This house is amazing! The house is decorated with beautiful art in every room. The location is ideal as it's within walking distance to dining and shops. Our group was there for a long weekend and didn't do any cooking, but the kitchen is well equipped. Great communication with the owner, and she provided helpful recommendations and information.

Beautiful upscale vacation rental
This house is gorgeous, and the location is in the heart of everything with beautiful water views from the living area and cute in town views of Butler St. The kitchen is modern and stocked with newer cookware/glassware and has everything you need to make a gourmet meal. The interior is professionally designed with lovely furniture and art. Plus the owner had a great hospitality basket filled with goodies. Including cheese and local items from the farmers market in addition to several bottles of wine. If you are looking for a high quality rental book it you will not regret it.

We loved everything about this whimsical and spacious home perfectly situated in downtown Saugatuck. Highlights include the beautiful art, comfortable beds and sofa, great kitchen for cooking, and lovely harbor views from the family room and deck. Primary bathroom is wonderfully appointed.

Superb host, great property
This property has it all--beautifully decorated and supplied with everything you might need for a relaxing vacation, roomy spaces for sleeping and gathering, a spacious deck for grilling, dining, and relaxing, and a great location across the street from a lovely harbor and close to many shops and restaurants. The host thought of everything and even left lots of yummy treats for us. Check in was seamless and the host provided prompt responses and detailed information about the house as well as local restaurants and activities.
