It was wonderful working with Todd, and the house was perfect for a family vacation bringing our adult children and grandchildren together from 4 states! The house is set up with everything for an infant which made travel so much easier. The screened porch was liovely in the mornings and the fire pit was a great place to gather at the end of the day! Our stay was so comfortable and it felt like we were at home We would love to go back again - it was just what we were looking for!!
Porch Swing was clean and comfortable; a perfect location for our wedding weekend. Close to Saugatuck village, close to Felt Estate, minutes to Holland. Our group of 9 had a comfortable, quite stay. A couple restaurants, a mini market/gas station, and a day-pass gym were located near the house. We had a wonderful visit!
The space was perfect for multiple families with bedrooms on first floor and basement. Backyard is beautiful. We loved the pool table. Instructions for things are clear and the owner is wonderful and easy to communicate with. We visited Holland, South Haven, and Saugatuck, so the central location was perfect! Neighborhood was beautiful for walking and could walk to the ice cream shop! Loved the dunes ride down the road! Only “complaint” was that the basement was freezing, so we turned the air off. Well-stocked all around for the home (kitchen, toilet paper, towels, blankets, detergents, etc.) Always nice when you don’t have to worry about those things!
Our family had an AMAZING stay! Hot tub -Amazing!!! Friends and our family made some amazing memories in this house! Host was very responsive!!! Our 12 y/o forgot a very sentimental stuffed animal and owner shipped to us!! FIVE STARS!!
We absolutely loved our stay at this house in Saugatuck. They had all the amenities that you would need in the house. great kitchen appliances, a fun downstairs with a pool table, and a lovely outdoors with a fire pit. We didn't use the hot tub but that is accessible as well. Not far from any of the points of interest that we traveled to during the trip. Disc golf course in biking distance. All in all would recommend for a group of 8 adults with some kids.
Clean, accomodating and exactly like the pictures.
We enjoyed everything about the home. There were family ranging from 5 - 68. Plenty of parking even with our Canada family staying in their motorhome. Per Todds approval. Stayed up laughing and talking till at least 1:30 a.m. Friday and Saturday. My teenage Granddaughters loved the hot tub. The kitchen was roomy with plenty of bowls, silverware etc...and 3 women cooking for a potluck at another family's rental. It's a 5 star for sure!! Thank you Todd.
This house was perfect. Great layout for the family with plenty of things to do. It was very clean and ready to go. Host was super responsive on questions. Would definitely stay here again.
Close to nearby attractions and plenty of things to do.
Todd is a great manager, always responded quickly to our concerns. Great for our group of 6 adults and 3 children.
Enjoyed our weeklong stay.
Porch Swing was a wonderful place to stay - good location, clean and elegant, yet practical, and the baths and kitchen are well outfitted. The pool table is an added plus
We were in Saugatuck for our son's wedding over an extended weekend and the Porch Swing was absolutely fantastic! It is located outside the busyness of Saugatuck, nestled on a quiet country lot but, you're close enough to easily go downtown for shopping and restaurants. The age ranges for the family ranged from 21yrs to 72yrs and we all fit comfortably. The Porch Swing was very clean with fun decor throughout. Todd was amazing to work with. I highly recommend a stay at his place!
Our group had a great time staying at porch swing. The house was very clean and met all our needs. The location was perfect for a girls weekend in Saugatuck/Holland. Todd was a great host and was quick to respond when needed. Would definitely stay at this property again.
We stayed here for a family event in Holland. We had ten adults from 18-82. There is space for people to spread out and participate in different activities. The big table is great for board games and puzzles. Easy to have one group at the dining table, others in the living room, a couple of people playing pool, and others watching football in the family room. It was snowy, so we didn't use the hot tub or fire pit. We did enjoy the gas fireplace. The location was only 10 minutes from my dad's house on the south side of Holland.
This property had everything you could possibly need, and pet friendly too! It was very comfortable and clean, also close to so many towns, a long weekend is not enough time.
This property is beautiful and clean as a whistle. It can truly accommodate a large group with its many bedrooms and bathrooms. Close location to the highway made our multiple trips to Holland a breeze. Would highly recommend.
The house was perfect for our family. Plenty of room. Gas grill, fire pit, pool table, and large dining table perfect for game playing. Loved the indoor and outdoor areas! Outside area felt very private and enjoyable! We would definitely stay here again!
The house was great, the location was fine, and we were happy to gather together. We are a group of outdoor painters and we found inspiration in the local area. And we enjoyed the art galleries! The host was responsive and kind.
This property worked out very well for our family vacation. It was roomy, well equipped and a short drive to any are we wanted to go to. Quiet subdivision. If it had been warmer, the porch and fire pit would have been used also
Came to town for an event in Holland. Todd’s property is an absolutely perfect location if you want to visit Holland or Saugatuck/Douglas. Todd answered any questions we had and was always willing to help. Home is spacious enough for multiple family's and is incredibly clean. We enjoyed our time at this house and will definitely be back!
4 adults and 8 kids stayed over new years. The house is well situated near the highway for easy access to neighboring towns. 4 minute drive to Saugatuck Dunes State Park. Quiet neighborhood. Enough room in the house for us to all be together or retreat to our own spaces.
A property with all of the necessities and comforts we were looking for. The owner, Todd, was very friendly and accommodating to our needs. Todd was easy to reach and responded with the necessary information we requested. All in all, a very pleasant stay.
