Wonderful Stay!
We were in Saugatuck for our son's wedding over an extended weekend and the Porch Swing was absolutely fantastic! It is located outside the busyness of Saugatuck, nestled on a quiet country lot but, you're close enough to easily go downtown for shopping and restaurants. The age ranges for the family ranged from 21yrs to 72yrs and we all fit comfortably. The Porch Swing was very clean with fun decor throughout. Todd was amazing to work with. I highly recommend a stay at his place!

Perfect for Us!
We loved our stay in Saugatuck! And we especially loved this house! As a group of six friends from college, this house was perfect for us! The house was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. We did do some cooking, and we were able to find everything we needed. The two living areas were great for conversing or watching tv. We enjoyed the enclosed porch too! Todd was quick to respond to questions and was very helpful to us! We also loved the location! It was close to the Dune Rides, the interstate, and not far from downtown. It's located on a quiet street!
We would definitely stay here again!

Came to town for an event in Holland. Todd’s property is an absolutely perfect location if you want to visit Holland or Saugatuck/Douglas. Todd answered any questions we had and was always willing to help. Home is spacious enough for multiple family's and is incredibly clean.

Amazing house, perfect for a group!
We are 3 couples that get together every Labor Day weekend. This was our 3rd visit to this area and this was by far our best rental. The attention to detail was great. Loved all of the bedrooms, the great room, hot tub, kitchen, fire pit and the bikes. The house was very clean and the kitchen. Well stocked . About a 30 minute walk into town and a 15 minute easy bike ride. We would define rent this home again!

Family Vacay
Communication with property manager and check-in process was great. Location is a quick 10 minute drive to Saugatuck and unit was a great size for our family group. House was relatively clean but dining table is sticky (probably needs to be refinished), we did find some popcorn on the floor and a water bottle under living room chair. Kitchen was fantastic with adequate silverware, plates, serving bowls and pots/pans for large group but we did need to purchase a couple of serving spoons. Drink fridge was a bonus for extra beverages. Screened in back porch is a perfect venue for morning coffee and family chats but the seat cushions are worn and need replacing. Bedrooms are comfortable with extra blankets, but carpets are worn and need replacing. Basement was extremely damp despite the dehumidifier continuously running. Wi-Fi is good with 5G service and included Bluetooth speakers in the living room. We used the gas grill for three meals but it’s a bit dirty and needs cleaning. Fire pit is nice for evening fires with s’mores. Spacious backyard is great for family games and hot tub was clean and easy to use. Bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths for 12 people. But bring your own beach towels. Five bikes are available in the garage, but all are quite rickety and difficult to ride. There’s also a cooler and some beach chairs. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and recommend this rental property for larger groups who need adequate sleeping quarters and bathrooms.

I'd recommend this property!
We were happy with the property, the location and the host. We had 10 people (2 grandparents, 2 daughters and their husbands and 4 grandsons. The five bedrooms were perfect for our group.
The back yard was fun for games, camping and hot tub.
Only one concern: the internet was spotty. That wasn't a problem for us but if someone rented the property and wanted to do some remote work, I think they would have a problem.

Fun times in Saugatuak
We had a great time . It was myself , my grown son and his wife and my two grown daughters. We had four grandchildren three ten year olds and a nine year old. The basement was perfect for video games and the kids had plenty of room to laze about and enjoy their cousins. The upstairs gave the adults a great place to play cards and sit and. Enjoy the screened porch for morning cofffee . The front porch gave you a place to seek quiet time from the family time.
The kitchen is well stocked and spacious. I did wish there was a light over the washer and dryer , when doing a load in the evening it was not well lit. Since there is a light in the closet adjacent to the laundry closet it might be something easily fixed.
Todd was very quick to answer all our questions and very easy to work with.
Saugatuak is an easy bike ride from the house with so much to do. Coffee is near by as is ice cream. We enjoyed a free concert at the Felt Mansion, but get there early it fills up fast.
We hope to return to this lovely,fun house .

Home Base for Daughter's Wedding
The house and grounds were great! We had family and friends with us as we took care of final preparations for our daughter's wedding. We used the fire pit, grill, and hot tub outside, and took full advantage of the well-equipped kitchen and wet bar inside. The bedrooms were comfortable and inviting, and having 3 full baths was wonderful. The owner (Todd) was very responsive and helpful.
