About the host
Hosted by Anne and Bill
As grandparents, we wanted to created a home that offers lots of fun and wholesome summer activities for kids, families and adults of all ages. This unique home has so much to offer with the gardens and big yard and the pool, multiple public beaches closeby and the proximity to fabulous activities. We love to walk shoreline at West Park or Pier Cove to collect sea glass and rocks. Our grandchildren love going to Oval Beach, climbing dunes at Saugatuck Dunes State Park, biking and kayaking closeby, eating the best Deli sandwiches at the Farmhouse Deli, going on the dune buggy ride or the “donut boat" ride. All ages enjoy picking strawberries, peaches and blueberries in season super close-by at Cranes. We love to take our young grandchildren to the Tiny Toy store in Saugatuck and then walk to Kilwin’s for ice cream. I’m obsessed with growing plants so enjoy vegetable gardens/flowers galore and chickens (all enclosed) in the summer. We have a ping pong table and many family games and puzzles. We are always working on projects and have updated about everything! The laundry room is large and a pleasure to use ! We expanded pool deck to make more room for new lounge chairs, the poolside dining table and the Weber gas grill. The small heated pool is the best entertainment for children and families! The new outdoor shower is super convenient before and after swimming. There are so many places to explore and fun things to do close by but then again the house is pretty magical and hard to leave! I am an avid cook so have a fully equipped kitchen with high end amenities. This is above and beyond your average rental- it is definitely an upscale experience and very well maintained. It is a private home that is rented occasionally. We limit the number of rentals and people to keep it clean and lightly used and we welcome people who will treat it with the utmost respect.
Why they chose this property
Exceptionally well maintained and managed by owners who want you to have a great experience- this is a cut above your average rental with high end furniture and amenities. Great location - convenient to fun activities for all ages...wineries, dune rides, beach walks, town of Saugatuck, Douglas, South Haven and Holland! Located on one of the nicest and most desirable roads in Saugatuck area . Open floor plan, large spaces, bright and cheery with 62 plus windows allows you to enjoy the outside while inside! You will see lots of deer and nature from the windows. Enjoy the huge yard , hammock and so many gardens- and it is a beautiful location with lots of space that is perfect setting for family activities. The private heated pool is small and sparkling clean and heated. We have grandchildren of all ages so the house has baby gates and a baby pool fence, high chair, toys, etc. we have you covered if you have young children! We are always working on the home and recently added custom closet organizers, remodeled the back entry, new window wells and egress windows, new regulation fencing for the pool, updated laundry room and bathrooms. We care that you have a wonderful time on your vacation and work hard to make it a wonderful place for you to spend your precious vacation time.
What makes this property unique
Pool, beautiful very large yard and multiple fruit and vegetable gardens, chickens, amazing desirable location, very clean home with high end appointments. There are multiple spaces you can "hang out"...a living room, a family room and a basement in addition to two indoor dining areas and one dining table outside. We only rent it occasionally and limit the rental occupancy to 8 people to minimize wear and tear and traffic in the home. Purchased in summer 2020 and renovated by retired professionals whose hobby is renovating homes. This is definitely a cut above your typical rental that has old furniture and minimal amenities and is managed by a company. We are grandparents and know how to set it up for visiting families and guests. We offer a more personalized experience and go above and beyond to make it a super place for you. Quite a bit of the furniture and throw carpets are new and some quite expensive so we ask you take your shoes off and wear slippers in the house and to take care to leave the home in great shape. White towels and extra sheets are provided if need to place on furniture to protect from spills from children (or adults!)
