The location of this property is really perfect. It's a five minute walk through the neighborhood to the beach and then a 5 minute drive to a coffee shop and root beer float/hot dog stand place. The house was well suited with everything we needed for our stay. It was cozy and well taken care of. It had AC and everything you could need in the kitchen. There were even some beach toys. Plenty of towels and comfortable beds. We enjoyed our stay here.

Douglas getaway
House was fantastic for our family! We loved the location, walking distance to morning coffee and to the much quieter Douglas Beach! Short drive to Saugatuck for shopping. House layout was great, we had a wonderful vacation

Great location and comfortable place to stay
My group of friends and I had a wonderful weekend in Douglas while staying at this property. The location of the property was excellent; we were able to get to all the places we wanted to visit in Douglas/Saugatuck easily and quickly by car, and it was a short walk to a beautiful beach that we spent a lot of time at. The property itself was comfortable and equipped with everything we needed to sleep, shower, and even cook our breakfasts in the morning. Overall, the cleanliness was fine, but it did feel like some things in the kitchen could be cleaner. The hosts are friendly, helpful and responsive.
