We had a great weekend staying here. The location was great! The house was clean, spacious and comfortable. We loved the beautiful interior and exterior views. There was limited parking, but we were able to find easy public parking nearby for the 4th car. Overall great stay!
Thanks for a great stay at such a beautiful home. The location, layout and cleanliness was top notch. Also - the manager was extremely helpful and responsive.
We knew as soon as we looked through the front door windows that we had selected the perfect house in a lovely location for our 55th anniversary getaway. It looks like something out of a House Beautiful magazine. We stayed there two weekends ago and have talked about it everyday since.
We had a perfect stay in Saugatuck at this property. Everything was terrific Very clean and beautiful interior decoration. Very much enjoyed our weekend and plan to return soon. Thanks so much.
The property is accurately described in the listing. It was a marvelous location and we walked to dining and shopping in Saugatuck. Property was clean and well-maintained. We would recommend this to family and friends.
Our stay was delightful . . . but . . . the posting was lite on details
The property was delightful, clean and fairly well maintained. We did have a challenge with the posting not presenting many of the contract requirements which could put a renter in an awkward situation should the unit be damaged upon arrival.
