Our time in Saugatuck

The location of this house is great! The kitchen needs a little help with things like aluminum foil, baggies etc. but other than that it was great and we enjoyed our stay there.

Family Reunion

Five of us stayed at Malabar while in Saugatuck for a family reunion. The location was perfect, close to all the fun shops and restaurants as well as the waterfront and great parks. The house was able to accommodate all of our needs as we came and went over a 5-day visit. We even decorated the main level for our daughter's 50th birthday! It was a memorable trip!

Great Family Time

We had a great time overall. Lovely property for the most part. Master sheets were stained or heavily used as were the bath linens. New towels and bath mats would be desired.

Cute house

Cute house but the check in process could be updated. You have to go to the office to pickup a packet that has wifi and the door code on it. I felt this could have been done in a message on vrbo for connivence. Otherwise fine stay

The worst

Worst VRBO experience. Toilet leaking onto first floor. After calling to have it fixed. Mold and dirty utensils. No soap.

Response from VrboOwner on Nov 4, 2024
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations. We take all concerns seriously and work hard to ensure every guest has a comfortable stay. When we learned of the leak, we immediately sent our maintenance team to address it. Although we offered further assistance and even an alternate property, we respected your decision to decline both. For your convenience, we also provided a substantial refund, even though our policy does not typically cover rate adjustments for unexpected repairs. Regarding cleanliness, our properties are inspected regularly to maintain high standards, and cleanliness is a top priority. Had we known of any housekeeping concerns during your stay, we would have promptly addressed them. In addition, we always provide hand and dish soap and are happy to supply body soap on request. We are committed to delivering a welcoming and comfortable experience, and we encourage future guests to reach out during their stay with any needs. Thank you again for your feedback.
