Beautiful property and fantastic location

The property was lovely and worked perfectly for our group. I do have a couple of suggestions though - (i) more mirrors (we had all girls and it was difficult to get ready), and (ii) I'd recommend noting that the boat is there and looks right into the property (although not a big deal, it was a surprise).

Wonderful place with beautiful views!

We had a fabulous stay! The penthouse was lovely, spacious, well appointed and very clean. We enjoyed the deck very much and loved watching the boats come and go. We ate many meals at the dining table on the incredibly spacious deck and also relaxed on the lounge chairs and sectional. The location was so convenient! Walking distance to shops and restaurant and a short drive to the beach.

Perfect Location, Excellent Property & Nice Added Touches

We stayed over Thanksgiving 2024. We enjoy being on the water and this place was perfect. Great views from almost every room. The unit was very clean & comfortable and included everything we needed. There was a decorated Christmas tree and decorations which was a very nice "homey" touch given we were away over the Holiday. I highly recommend this place.

unbelievable views

as a local, I spend a lot of time in Saugatuck, if you are visiting this is the place to stay. the location is perfect - these views are probably the best you get in town. You are close to town, you could take the chain ferry to Oval, you can walk across the street for a great traditional breakfast at Ida's - a great place to stay for a townie trip in Saugy!

Perfect penthouse

Our trip to Saugatuk was wonderful. But the penthouse was spectacular. If u r lucky enough to stay, it will b one of the highlights of ur trip. The clean, well appointed penthouse was real luxury. The rooms were a generous size, the beds were cozy, and the big dining table was perfect. The huge deck overlooking the water was amazing. Would give this property my highest recommendation.

Refuge

We had a quick stay during a local urgent family matter. Place probably had best amenities of any rental we have have ever had (tissues, hand soap at all sinks, hooks in bathrooms for towels - types of things that are not always present). Location on the water was perfect refuge during challenging personal time. Thank you.

Huge, well-appointed property with relaxing view of the river. Immaculately clean with all necessities included. No need to pack things like coffee, TP, paper towels, soaps. Beds very comfortable, windows with screens to open and enjoy the breezes and river sounds.

Perfect Stay with Views & Walkable Location

Absolutely perfect stay for a 50th birthday celebration! This rental exceeded all our expectations. The views were absolutely stunning, the kind you never get tired of. The unit was immaculately clean and fully stocked with everything we could possibly need, from kitchen essentials to extra towels.We were a group of five adults, and the space couldn’t have been more comfortable. It was spacious, open, and with plenty of seating for lounging, dining, and gathering together. The location was ideal, walking distance to everything. Communication with the property manager was top-notch They were quick, friendly, and helpful every step of the way. It truly felt like a home away from home. We’re already talking about coming back. Highly, highly recommend!
