Why the Owner Chose Saugatuck
We've lived in Saugatuck full-time since 1991. We love the people here, the charming downtown, great shops and restaurants, and the breathtaking coastline. We love boating, Oval Beach, music in the park, and just taking in everything Saugatuck has to offer. We also love going a whole weekend without getting in a car, walking and biking wherever we need to go. Saugatuck can be what you want it to be: relaxing, friendly, laid-back; a party town; an mecca for the arts; a nature-lover's paradise; family-friendly and outdoorsy.
The Unique Benefits at this Saugatuck vacation rental home
Renters tell us they love the convenient location (walk to town, but quiet)...the casual, comfortable feel of the house...enjoying coffee or cocktails on the front porch and the side patio...and the play area for kids. (The house sits on an oversized lot back from the street, making it safer for little ones.) Pet owners appreciate being able to bring their dogs (with permission).
Butler & Mason: the heart of downtown. Lots of unique shops up and down both streets, plus restaurants, ice cream shops, bars, and more.
The children's playground is the younger set's place to see and be seen...and a lifesaver for parents whose kids need to get their ya-yas out. Tennis court and basketball court, too!
The White House: Mason & Griffith; Toulouse: Mason St. Shops and restaurants up and down Culver Street.
Excellent coffee and exceptional (homemade) baked goods at Uncommon Grounds; Wally's, a local favorite, across the street. Landsharks-great clothes & shoes, on Butler & Hoffman.
Home of the Mason St. theater productions (throughout the summer); gallery exhibits; daytime programs for kids; and more!
The SCA parking lot is home to the Saugatuck Green Market, every Friday in the summer from (roughly) 9:00 - 2:00. Great food from local farmers!
Great shopping in downtown Douglas. Don't miss Everyday People Cafe (EPC) for exceptional food, great service, friendly atmosphere.
One of the best in the country, according to biased locals, MTV, Conde Naste, and others! White-sand beach...concession stand...restrooms...
