Everything was perfection! From the ease of check-in, to the cleanliness, to the wonderful insight, friendliness & recommendations of our contact person, Michael, to the central location of Saugatuck. It was a delightfully unique space located above The Butler Pantry which had a fabulous selection of coffee, wine, and delicious provisions. This has been, by far, my favorite Vrbo stay and I couldn't recommend it high enough.

Exactly what we were looking for!

This place is quirky and cozy and close to everything. It was just what we needed for a quiet getaway out of the city. While it could probably use a deep clean, my family and I loved our stay.

We had a wonderful time. The Interurban is a great way to get around if you don’t want to drive. We went for a hike, shopped, had amazing food, relaxed and even went to the comedy den at Coral Gables. The apartment was everything we needed!!!

Perfect location!!

We loved our stay at this quaint spot! We took a girls trip and there were 6 of us and we didn’t really want to share beds, so we had taken air mattresses in case we needed them, but there ended up being a futon and plenty of couches so we didn’t even use them! The beds were amazing!! It was the perfect location. If you are used to visiting these small Michigan towns you know how valuable it is just to have a parking spot, and that was another perk this rental offered! We had reserved parking and we just walked it from there! Saugatuck offers the perfect small town charm. When we checked out we drove to South Haven, and it’s fun, but our whole party agreed that the shopping in Saugatuck can’t be beat. The best shops, great ice cream, good coffee shops, and good food - all within walking distance. This was the perfect home base. We loved our visit! It wasn’t our first time and it for sure won’t be our last!
