Home that accommodates everything you need for a summer getaway
Our family of nine, 6 adults and 3 young children, stayed at the Alex’s Pool House for 5 days over the 4th of July holiday. A perfect house that accommodated all our needs. The pool was fabulous for our 3 grandchildren, as well as, us 6 adults. The outdoor space was perfect as we relaxed and played by the pool and barbecued most of the days. The location was perfect, just as you enter Douglas, and a 5 minute drive into Saugatuck. We would definitely book the Alex’s Pool House next time we visit the Saugatuck/Douglas location.

Great stay
We really enjoyed our stay here. Great location!! Struggled with pool alarm on door keeping us awake the first night but the property managers fixed it the next day. The house was clean and well stocked with necessary appliances. Loved the pool and hot tub for some evening swims after day at the lake and in town. Would definitely stay here again!!!

The best spot in Douglas!
This is the second year my family has rented this house. Perfect for a group on a quiet street that has easy walking or biking riding to downtown Douglas. And, a very cute wine shop across the street. You can’t beat the location and pool on property!

Great getaway- Great Location
This property is wonderful! We had a great week! The pool, hot tub and screened in porch were great hangout spots for everyone in our group.
The kitchen and living spaces were cozy and very clean. I would highly recommend this rental for anyone looking to get away in an awesome house close to two fun towns!

Excellent experience, would return!
We had a great experience at Alex's pool house. Spacious, clean, fabulous location and great fun with the pool and hot tub. The layout was neat and the bedrooms all have their own big bathrooms which is so helpful. It was comfortable and well stocked, the rental company/owner were responsive and helpful and we had no issues. Only minor items for recommendation would be additional seating at the indoor table and more outdoor lighting for the outdoor table but those are so minor (maybe it will help you as you're packing). Would absolutely stay again

Great pool
The pool was fabulous, and it was nice to have umbrellas and trees by the pool to find some shade. If you are staying, plan on bringing some extra towels for the bathrooms and kitchen (and pool). There is only one hand towel per bathroom, not per person, and there was no towel provided for the half bath sink. We did a lot of cooking, so I’m glad we brought our own kitchen towels and dishrags. Also, bring some folding chairs if you want to seat the whole family at the dining table. There are only 6 chairs, but we easily sat 8 with a few folding chairs that we brought. The closets are big, and it was nice to be able to unpack our things and hang up clothes.

Spacious bedrooms and living areas, all very clean. The outside, screened in porch and pool are are especially great with a large group, lots of space to spread out and the pool is fantastic. And highly recommend the Douglas area, the house is a 5 min or less walk to downtown while also being on a quiet street. Great weekend stay!

Great Repeat Visit
My family and I enjoyed our second stay at Alex's Pool House this past June. We had stayed initially last August and definitely knew it was a place we wanted to return to. The house is clean, spacious, in a great location, and the backyard cannot be beat. My family and I especially enjoyed time in the screened in porch and of course the swimming pool.

Great week in Douglas
Outstanding house for our family of 8. The outdoor space and pool + hot tub were a highlight. The house is newly renovated. The only small downside was that the dishwasher was broken on arrival and was not fixed throughout the week. Overall, we really enjoyed the house, the outdoor space and location (very close to Douglas, Saugatuck, and the water). We would definitely stay again!
