Waterfront / Best Views In Town / Location / Totally Updated / Very Clean


Walk into this beautiful home and you'll never want to leave. From the moment you arrive you'll be captivated by the spectacular water views from both levels and all new decor. Sit on the large deck and watch the sunrise, marina action across the way, or holiday fireworks. Enjoy the landscaped yard lounging, playing games or watching the river boat traffic on this waterfront property with private dock. Minutes from all attractions, yet it's the perfect place to get away from it all.

The entire house is totally updated. The upper level is an open concept with vaulted and beamed ceilings. Here you will find the roomy master with TV, second bedroom and full bath with walk-in shower. Enjoy cooking in the beautiful kitchen with all new stainless appliances, cupboards, granite countertops, and everything you need to prepare that perfect meal. There's seating for six at dining table and four more seats at kitchen counter. Living room area is great for family games, reading a book or watching movies. These rooms oversee a full wall of glass doors leading to the large deck overlooking incredible views of the water, town of Saugatuck and the marina.

Fantastic lower level with wet bar, full-size stainless refrigerator and oversized granite bar/dining that seats eight. Great place to eat, play games or just socialize. Open living area featuring another seating area with TV and additional sleeping (queen sleeper sofa). This level has a 3rd bedroom and second full bath with tub/shower.

The walkout with full wall of glass doors offer more stunning views of the water and leads to fabulous patio with wrought iron patio set, built-in gas grill, dock and yard.

Located right on Lake/River Kalamazoo with a private dock you can fish off or kayak down the river and it will lead you right onto Lake Michigan.

Walk, ride or drive to 'the world famous Oval Beach' (less than 1/2 mile) or head downtown for the short five minute drive to Douglas and/or Saugatuck for shopping, restaurants, wine tasting, art galleries, bars and farmers market. Only steps away you can walk to Mt. Baldhead (climb the 300+ stairs), the Pumphouse Museum and The Saugatuck Chain Ferry which will take you across the river.

This lovely home has it all: Beautiful, quality features throughout, super clean, fantastic waterfront location, across the river from downtown Saugatuck. Skip looking for a parking space, just hop on the Saugatuck Chain Ferry, or call the Interurban bus, and you're there. Our property also offers free wifi for all of our guests. For insurance purposes there is one outdoor security camera located outside facing the driveway only.

A peaceful and perfect location
WE were looking for a place on the water and close to fine restaurants and shops. Tequila Sunrise fulfilled our expectations and more. The house worked perfectly for both us and my sister with the two tiers of balconies and coffee for the morning. The furnishings made the inside as inviting as the outside. And we cannot say enough about the location. We were in walking distance to Mount Baldhead; climbing its 302 steps was great exercise and the view of Lake Michiganat the end made it worth it. Speaking of which, Oval Beach, a short hop from the house, is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world--clear water, soft sand, and quite unpopulated. Adding to our pleasure was a gorgeous full moon over the mirror like waters of Kalamazoo Lake. Finally, our hostess, Annette, could not have been more friendly and accommodating! Every question and need was addressed. We will return to this cheerful and perfectly appointed home on two waters and near the most beautiful lake in the world.

Perfect Saugatuck home base!
We had the perfect long weekend vacation staying at this beautiful home. The location on the water is a vacation in itself, but you are so close to the beach, the ferry, the famous steps, the root beer shack, and more. It's so easy to get downtown for all Saugatuck has to offer. We so enjoyed the music from downtown lightly wafting over the water to our deck in the early evenings. We even did a quick day trip to Grand Rapids to see Wicked. Annette's recommendations were exactly perfect. She was so helpful and welcoming. The house was spotless and we had everything we needed. Seven adults were more than comfortable in the spacious home. We loved both levels and spent time in both. Upstairs we cooked and dined. Downstairs we snacked and played (perfect game night table!) We made the best memories and when we come back, we would choose to stay here again. It was just perfect!

Even Better Than Expected!
Fabulous location, spotlessly clean, this house was the perfect way to spend our Mother's Day weekend meeting cousins from Indiana who've never been to Saugatuck. They wanted to see the Holland tulip festival but we knew the blooms were hard to pinpoint an exact date to see, and we thought Saugatuck was a great location that offered a variety of close alternative places to explore. After a short time on Windmill Island, where few tulips were still fresh, we spent the afternoon in Grand Haven before returning to Saugatuck the rest of the weekend. Lots of shopping, eating and great times together in this wonderful house made lasting memories . Highly recommend this wonderful home.

AWESOME STAY!!
Annette is on top of everything and provides your every need. She provided us this amazing place to stay on the lake and gave us a lot of details and advice about the area. We had a great time drinking coffee starring at God's beauty in the mornings and explored the area in the afternoon. I would HIGHLY recommend this place to stay if you're in the area.

Great birthday weekend
We came to Saugatuck to celebrate my birthday with family. Even in early December it was so enjoyable being able to look at the water and relax. The location was perfect to hike up my baldy and then to oval beach. The owner made several recommendations for dinner which were also excellent and being the off season we were able to get seated. Overall we all agreed this was one of the nicest birthday celebrations we’ve had. We will definitely be back - next time in the summer to enjoy even more that saugatuck has to offer!

Absolutely gorgeous house and view
My husband and I have stayed in many VRBO properties over the years and this was truly the best experience we have ever had. The house is extremely well appointed with everything you might need, it is gorgeous, so comfortable and the views of the Kalamazoo river can’t be beat. Annette was wonderful in telling us everything we needed to know and being available. Everything was perfect, so we didn’t have any questions or issues, but she was readily available. We will definitely be back!

The views of Kalamazoo Lake over Saugatuck get no better! Beautiful home and furnishings! I was in contact with Annette the host a few times and she responded quickly and efficiently. My family loved and enjoyed both levels of the home and it gave everyone the privacy and space that they needed for eight people to get ready and have fun together over the weekend festivities. The welcoming gift and note was a very nice touch! Thank you Tequila Sunrise!

We loved it!
We stayed here on our wedding weekend and it was perfect. Even the weather cooperated - upper 70s & sunny in late September. Even though Annette, our host, was not on site, she stayed in close contact during our arrival to ensure that everything went smoothly. Additionally, she was very accommodating to our needs and very quick to respond to questions. The cottage was exactly as presented in the pictures - open spaces, plenty of light, and amazing views of Kalamazoo Lake and the town of Saugatuck. We spent an over an hour in the morning just sitting on the balcony watching the boats flow by. I have only a couple of minor nip-picks. There was no shower soap/body wash in the bathrooms. It wasn't a big deal for us because most in our group had brought their own and I simply picked up a bar of soap from the store for myself. We didn't even bother the host about it. There was also a lack of kleenex - we found just one box in the downstairs bedroom. The other complaint is that I don't like doing laundry or taking out trash when I'm on vacation - part of the checkout process is starting one load of towels and taking the trash out to the bins. I understand that this is common for private rentals like this, but it's just something I'd rather not have to do. However, we really didn't mind in this case because Annette allowed us to check out late even though new guests were coming the same day. In this instance, late checkout was a bigger priority than avoiding a couple of chores.

The house was clean, beautiful and very user-friendly. We loved it. The view was fantastic. Very nice area with lots of walking trails and the beach. Very close. The road is quite narrow and busy. You have to be careful. We did a lot of touring and swimming and enjoyed it a lot. So much to do around there. The music that played at Coral Gables sure made the atmosphere fun. we did pull out the sleeper sofa but the mattress needs to be replaced. The beds are all very comfortable. The the nighttime is quiet and peaceful. We greatly enjoyed our stay. !

Great location! Love the upper and lower decks to sit and enjoy morning coffee, meals and happy hour while wating the activity on the river and in town. The property is clean, well maintained with comfortable beds, sitting areas and a well stocked kitchen plus a wetbar in lower level. We loved it! We could launch our SUP right from the dock. Walk to the Chain ferry, Mt Baldhead and oval beach.

Great weekend getaway with friends
My group of girlfriends and I enjoyed Annette’s place for a long weekend. The accommodations were so comfortable and clean, and the view from the patio over the water was amazing. The kitchen is so well stocked and we were able to play games all weekend at the kitchen table. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather, so we were able to walk out our door and take long walks and hikes. The ferry was not open yet for the season, so we did have to drive into town, but it was a quick ride. Annette was very communicative and great to work with, and we cannot wait to come back and stay at this gem of a place again, soon! Highly recommend this place for a fun stay in Saugatuck/Douglas!
