  The Good: We paid $XXX for four nights during a school break when many hotels were charging top dollar. The house itself is mostly clean, nice wood floors, nice: fridge, microwave, stove, bathroom materials. Laundry! The home has a king size bed in the bedroom and two sofas that pull out into sofa beds. Just to keep you informed: no tv in the bedroom, the tv in the living room doesn't have a dvd player. The sheets on the bed are see-through thin, towels are scratchy. Kitchen pots & pans, coffeemaker are low quality. There is NO hand soap, paper towels, shampoo, conditioner or soap provided. The wifi goes in & out. Your best shot at getting a signal is to stay by the island in the kitchen. The tv is not as easy to work as just hitting the Power button and flipping channels. There are instructions printed and framed that are near the tv to help you try different strategies to get the tv to work. The Bad: (this may not happen to you) Our first night my husband tried to take a hot shower. We had not run the laundry or dishwasher. There was NO hot water. He contacted the owner, was given permission to get into the basement and was able to fix the problem, bringing back the hot water. Our second night we returned from dinner to find the overhead lights did not work, only the lamps. My husband found the breaker box, flipped the switches and was able to get it working again. Before AND after this happened the ceiling fan in the living room and the light over the shower has never worked. Finally, the day we booked the full $XXX was withdrawn from our bank account, no refunds. In the days leading up to our vacation we kept trying to call/email the owner to arrange for the key to be picked up with no response at all. We were beginning to think our vacation money had been stolen. We contacted VRBO which contacted the owner and they did contact us a day and a half before we wanted to depart. It turns out there is a code you put in, not a key. Once you get in there is a binder with the rules of the house. For example, check-in is 4:00pm. While there is no housekeeping during your stay (great for privacy, we did not mind this at all) but the morning of departure housekeeping arrives at "10:00am sharp" and you better have the place cleaned up! The rules are vague, but if there is more housekeeping to do than they think is normal there is an extra fee. We got up early and prepped the house for housekeeping, got out before 10am. You can decide if this is for you!

  We went with a group of friends and created so many wonderful memories! The units were so cute and comfortable. Its so close to downtown and the taxi service to Saugatuck was cheap and fast. We can't wait to stay again.

  Stayed for two nights and wow this place was great! A top notch condo that had all of the amenities one can want, gourmet kitchen, hardwood floors, satelite TV, pool, hot tub comfy bed. Great location - easy walk to both Douglas and Saugatuck restaurants and shopping. Short drive over to Oval Beach and Mt Baldhead. I certainly give this place 5 Thumbs Up! Home away from home.

  The property was impeccably maintained and made for a fantastic stay. It has all of the amenities you could need for a weekend get-a-way or a week long vacation.It's has plenty of room to hang out and the salt water pool and lounge area was a great alternative to going to the beach. It's very close to all of the restaurants and shops downtown. We would definitely stay again.

  The welcoming staff was knowledgable and involved with local events and community. The condominiums were.nicely decorated, with a well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed our stay, and hope to return next summer.
