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 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.
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.
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.
Our stay was fantastic. Clean, walkable and nicely appointed. The only disappointment was the length of time it took for the freezer to reach full cooling temp after being kept off between rentals. Additionally, the ice machine had black chunks of debris in it and the bar fridge was broken.
