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.
We spent Thanksgiving weekend at the property. It was nice. Clean. Good location. We would stay here again.

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!
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.

Thank you for your feedback and for noting that you had a great time at Malabar. We apologize for the issue with the linens and have since replaced all towels. We appreciate your input and hope to welcome you back in the future.
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

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