Late summer get away

My wife and I enjoyed this place, the private beach area was great and worth climbing the stairs. It's definitely a peaceful relaxing area and has plenty of areas to hangout and enjoy friends and family.

Wonderful, quiet, beach front home.

Our family stayed here and it was a wonderful time. The property is located in a quiet neighborhood yet is still close enough to both Saguatuck and South Haven. It's a true gem and it's a short walk to the beach. You can truly relax here and would highly recommend

Great place for a family

Our family of 5 had everything we needed and plenty of room! The hot tub was great. The home is super close to the lake (we could see it from the house), and the screened in porch was just lovely. My only complaint is that we couldn’t stay longer!

Tranquil Retreat

We stayed at this beautiful lakefront property in mid-March. Over four days, the sun shone, it rained, and it snowed—and still, it was magnificent! It's a large space that still feels cozy, has great kitchen amenities, and was a perfect setting to focus on a major project. We were productive, inspired by the breathtaking view of Lake Michigan, and very comfortable.

Perfect getaway

We decided to spend the last few days of the summer and it beautiful house and location. It was absolutely amazing. Kids loved playing on the beach, collecting seashells and rocks. We did a lot of things around the house and it’s a perfect location for some amazing relaxation.

Weekend getaway for Chicago and Mi friends

Beautiful place (appreciated the Frank Lloyd feel!). Stairs to beach in great condition. Fully equipped kitchen. Compressor for bike tire in garage a plus. Heated tile in main floor bathroom comfy. Overall, loved the experience and look forward to coming again!

WOW!

What a beautiful home and what a great time we had… especially loved the screened in porch and watched shooting stars from the upper deck. Beach access too. Close to all our favorite shops, restaurants and activities in Fennville, Douglas and Saugatuck . Finny (our dog) enjoyed his first vacation. The fenced in yard was very helpful. Can’t wait to return.

Beautiful home

House has all you need. Comfy beds and in a peaceful location. Be prepared for no cellular service. The house is walking distance less than 50 ft from the top of the staircase to go to the lake then there is 100 steps to get down to the lake. Anyone with knee problems shouldn’t book this place. I would book this home again in the future. Rated it a 4 star because of the price, it could have been less. Vacasa has a lot of fees.

Untroubled Exposure

Well-appointed main floor perfect for a staycation complete with sunroom/game porch angled towards the lake. Many windows and doorways expose the interior to the road or neighboring home-lots with no functional covering options. Semi-private garden includes fire pit but breezeway provides direct exposure from hot tub to road. Room-specific combination of radiant heat HVAC is user-friendly enough. Well-appointed kitchen featured a cappuccino machine. Hi-tech toilet seats were a genuine highlight.

Secluded getaway in the woods

We enjoyed the location being halfway between South Haven and Saugatuck allowing us the opportunity to travel to both. The location is peaceful and tucked into a wooded areas so be prepared. This rental management group was responsive in some of our concerns which was appreciated.

The house itself was gorgeous. Comfortable layout with luxurious finishes. Little details like the heated toilets and magic mirrors were a treat. The shared path to the lake stairs was easy to navigate and the beach was perfect. The management company, Vacasa, was super professional and communicative. Lots of emails, texts, and an app. The only thing that wasn’t perfect was the 10 am check out which felt a little off market for a beach house. But overall A

Tulip time trip.

Our family had a great stay. We all slept comfortably and we loved the heated tile and seats in the bathrooms. Such a cute home and nice place to stay. The hot tub and chiminea were also nice since it was cool during our trip. Our adult kids loved the sunset on the beach while we enjoyed the view from the upstairs balcony deck!

Super close to a perfect private beach

We loved this house! Updated bathrooms and modern kitchen. We used the lovely screened porch and hot tub a lot. The best part was the proximity to the beach. Short 5 minute walk down 89 new stairs. We will stay here again! Bring your own coffee grounds and #4 cone filters. There’s a Meijer 15 minutes away for anything you forgot.

Check in was very easy and fully detailed. The Kitchen was modern and updated. Excellent coffee makers and even expresso. You do need a special size cone filter for the drip coffee and I read it off the comments and brought my own. None in the house.the pots and pans were limited and not great shape.

Beautiful rental!

This rental is gorgeous and perfect for a trip to the lake. We would definitely rent it again! The inside of the house was beautiful, clean, and well furnished. I do wish the outdoor areas were given the same attention; we weren't able to use the patio or balcony because they were so dirty. The grill was also very dirty. Also note for future renters: there are no beach towels available at the property, bring your own!

Everything you need for a wonderful vacation getaway

We had 5 adults stay here for a high school friends reunion and this house was perfect for us! The house had everything we needed, was super clean, 3 fridges, plenty of parking, the beds were comfortable and we loved the bathroom upgrades (fancy toilets were a hit). We noticed there were 4 beach chairs in the garage, but we never needed them (good to know though).This house would be perfect for a big family or a group of friends trying to reconnect. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Great property- book while you can!

Our family of 5 loved this property and all its amenities. The house was clean and very well-decorated. It’s a unique home with a lot of character and space to spread out. Being dog friendly was a huge bonus and it was so nice to sit out in the screened in porch. Private access to the beach was top notch with very clear instructions. The beach was clean and provided a nice area for kids to swim. The home also included beach chairs and water toys suitable for elementary to middle school kids. We’re definitely marking this house as one we’d like to return to!
