We loved everything about this home. The inside is immaculate with lots of natural light streaming in through the windows. The kitchen is well equipped; coffee and tea are provided. We spent lots of time outdoors on the back deck which was shaded. We'd highly recommend the coffee shop, located just two doors down on W Center St, which also sells art and apparel by founder and owner, Rae Lang. Also, don't miss stopping by Root Beer Barrel! You've never had a better hotdog and the root beer floats are not to be missed. If we ever revisit the area, we'll definitely check to see if this house if available.

This house was absolutely amazing! It was so clean! It was the perfect size for me and my 2 adult children and their spouses plus my 22 month old granddaughter and my 2 fur grandbabies! It was in a very nice neighborhood just 2 houses away from a historic hotdog and root beer stand. The town of Douglas had nice shops and restaurants and Saugatuck was a 10 minute drive where there were even more shops and restaurants. We went to 2 beaches. The Saugatuck Dune State Park allowed dogs and was a nice walk through the woods and we also went to Oval Beach but dogs were not allowed. I would definitely rent this house again!

Great weekend getaway

We had a great time celebrating our mom's birthday and checking out the tulips and beaches. The location was perfect and the house had all of the amenities we needed. We did need to make contact with the owner and she responded promptly and helped us right away. We would definitely recommend a stay here to anyone!

Roomy house in a great location

A truly wonderful house for a trip to this area. Located close to several beaches, trails, shops and restaurants in Douglas and Saugatuk. And only about 15 minutes from Holland. This house was perfect for my family of four and my in-laws. It is a very well stocked house. We had plenty of towels, toilet paper, hand soap and cookware items. There is even shampoo, conditioner and body soap in each shower. Plenty of places to enjoy the outdoors in nice weather- a big deck, porch, and side yard with a firepit. A great choice for a quick trip or extended stay. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful home in a great location!

This home was so beautiful! The house itself was meticulously clean and beautifully decorated. It was located on a quiet street, just outside downtown Douglas, with a coffee shop and a rootbeer/hot dog outdoor restaurant right on the corner. We had a great time!

Perfect weekend getaway

I am expecting our second child. This was a last minute weekend getaway as a family of 3 and I’m so thankful we came. Our 3 year old had so much fun riding his bike on the road by the driveways which was very safe/no cars. The coffee shop was great. Overall the location was perfect- less than 10 minutes to Oval Beach and Saugatuck. We had a wonderful getaway

THE BEST LOCATION FOR EVERYTHING FUN!!!

We went for a short girls trip and we were thouroughly impressed with EVERYTHING!!! Location, Accommodations, provided Amenities - just everything! We really couldn't have been happier. We had zip-lock bags; S&P + spices like at home; coffee; filters; wood for firepit. Neighborhood was perfect - accessible to everything you would want: Beach, Downtown restaurants, roads to take you directly to shopping. I can't say enough. This will be a definite do-over for all of our future trips to Saugatuck/Douglas/Holland

Awesome spot

We have been going to Douglas/ Saugatuck for many years. We have stayed in many different VRBO’s this was the best. The host was amazing, the home was PERFECT, location even better. We enjoyed great walks to the beach for the sunset. We were close to downtown, but still felt away for it all. I can’t say enough how much we loved this property and the host. We can’t wait to go back. Loved it !!!

WONDERFUL Spot for Girl’s Trip

The Duneside Retreat is truly gem. It was a girl’s long weekend getaway and we had every amenity at our fingertips. The beds were so comfortable, the kitchen truly amazing (even left us a bag of local coffee) it was so fun to sit in the front porch or back deck And by the fire pit. The location is spectacular. We walked everywhere or took the Urban Transportation Please add a barn door to the master bath bathroom. There’s no door so please remedy for guests for needed privacy when in clear glass shower. But still 100% happy with our stay.

Beautiful house in great location

This house is very clean and well appointed in a great location. Loved the coffee shop right at the corner of the house as well as the Root Beer Barrel across for a quick bite in between. Douglas beach is not even five minutes with the car. The house had everything that is needed. The complimentary coffee, tea, as well as shampoo, conditioner, body wash were a nice extra touch.There were plenty of beach towels to use as well as camping chairs in the garage. If you travel with a dog, the doggie welcome basket was also a nice extra touch. Came with a water bowl, towels to clean off their paws when coming into the house, a cleaning spray for any dog accidents, dog treats and a roll of dog bag. Towels, bowl and spray are to be left at the house. When you arrive, you need to turn into a private driveway at the white fence right after the coffee place that is at the corner of the street. That wasn’t clear to us when we arrived as we thought that driveway just belongs to the White House that is there. We circled around twice until we figured it out.The only recommendation I would have is to still apply some blackout drapes in the master bedroom. As some previous reviews had mentioned, the neighboring house as a motion sensor light installed to their side of the house that goes on and off constantly at night shining into the master bedroom, making it hard to get a good night sleep. Everything else was great.Would stay there again.
