About this property

Charming Cottage near Douglas Beach!

Welcome to Lake Breeze Cottage! This 1600 sq foot 3 bedroom-2 bath attached cottage was recently renovated. It boasts wood floors throughout, with an open concept kitchen/dining/living room with gas fireplace. The master bedroom with king bed and full bath are on the main level, with two additional bedrooms located on the second floor. The “kids room” has two twin beds and a daybed with trundle, and the third bedroom has a queen with daybed as well. Laundry and large bathroom with separate shower area are also upstairs. Spend your mornings drinking coffee and watching the deer from our over sized screened in porch with gas fireplace. Our cottage is tucked back out of the way and with a private feel, but close to everything. Walk to Douglas beach, ride your bike to Lakeshore Drive or Downtown Douglas. Saugatuck and Oval Beach are both a 5 minute drive. There are countless wineries, orchards and breweries to visit.
Relax and enjoy the Art Coast of Michigan!

This is our second visit to this property and it is the perfect gathering place for our family. The house is immaculate and very comfortable with everything you need for a relaxing vacation. The screen porch is the favorite spot for our group. It's an easy walk to the beach and many great places to eat and shop in nearby Saugatuck and Holland.

Great Family Vacation

Our family of 6 adults and one 4 year old had a wonderful time at your home in Douglas. They all loved the accomodations saying it was very comfortable, very clean and the perfect location. Most times we all walked to the beach. Saugatauk was a favorite shopping venue.

Fantastic location and well-stocked house for a wonderful stay in the Douglas-Saugatuck area. The screened-in back porch with fireplace is wonderful to hang out and includes a table and chairs to eat out there. The garage is a great place to store beach gear and bikes for long rides on Lakeshore Drive. The location is walking distance to Douglas Beach for sunny beach days and gorgeous sunset views. The kitchen is completely functional and we cooked all kinds of meals. Could not ask for more from this property for a wonderful family vacation!

Wonderful Stay in Douglas

Thoroughly enjoyed a week at this home. Walked to Douglas Beach. Close drive to Oval Beach, Douglas & Saugatuck, attractions and restaurants. Highlights of home were spacious bedrooms, nicely updated bathrooms, and large screened room. Owners were very responsive to all questions and needs. Visited daily by deer, including fawns. Home well stocked with everything we needed -- especially enjoyed Uno and other games. Thanks very much!

This cottage was perfect in every way! Immaculately clean and updated. It had everything we needed. Close to everything, yet tucked away in your own little nature sanctuary. Watching deer, birds, and more on the most lovely screened porch was amazing! I have stayed at dozens of cottages along Lake Michigan, and this one is by far our favorite. Even though it is attached to another unit, you wouldn’t know it, we felt like we were in our own house. The upstairs shower was so luxurious, comfortable beds, and the hosts were wonderful and responsive.

About the host

Host profile image
We have been vacationing here since our kids were very little, and jumped at the chance to purchase Lake Breeze! We love the village feel and the lack of commercialism in the Douglas/Saugatuck area. It is the perfect place to destress, slow down and enjoy Lake Michigan!
