Robyn’s Beach Nest #5 at ♥️ of Downtown Saugatuck
Excellent location. Unit is small and bathroom/toilet is a tight fit. Very clean on arrival and furnishings are nice.

Beautiful top floor condo- river view- near beach
Beautiful place with nice balcony and comfortable furnishings. The bed was so comfortable. Easy to walk into town, and nice to have a restaurant right next door.

3 Bedroom Apartment Available in South Bend.
Tom's place was a great getaway from staying in a hotel. The area is very charming and has a great view of the river from the living room. We enjoyed walking along the river in the evenings. Tom was very responsive when i had questions.

water view apartment in Kalamazoo
Thanks Matt we are enjoyed staying at your place twice

Private Entrance Guest Suite on the River
Very clean small suite. Just what we needed for a weekend away. Had everything we needed there. Super comfy sheets on the bed perfect for a couple.

The Penthouse at Paddlewheel Properties
We just returned from a wonderful stay! The place was spotless with a great view. You were able to walk to everything. The hosts stocked it with plush bath towels, make up towels, sample size toiletries, coffee, etc. We hope to return in the summer!

Riverfront apartment downtown with parking
Great little place. We had issues with the ac unit the first day (probably the first time the air has been on for the season since it was unusually warm outside) but host was responsive and resolved the issue to the best of their ability. Beds are super comfortable and my daughter loved the bunk bed. Right in the center of town and unbeatable views.

Secluded & Quiet on the Beautiful Kalamazoo River
Very beautiful place. Secluded and peaceful, perfect for a quiet weekend away. Has a cute little town not too far away with plenty of places to eat and activities to participate in. Would definitely come back!

5-Star: Lakeside Luxury and Comfort
The home was absolutely beautiful! Amazing views of the lake. We traveled up for our annual cousin's trip and were not disappointed. The house is so much bigger than what you would think from the photos. Steve was an amazing host and made sure to check in with us throughout the weekend. Definitely recommend, and would be back again. 🙂

Lake House Retreat with a Pool
Absolutely beautiful home that embodies relaxation and peace. We were able to comfortably gather as a family. The beds and linens are great quality!! Mike is a very responsive host, and has put in the time, and attention to detail to curate a space that is absolutely perfect for an intimate gathering of loved ones. It's impossible to list just how amazing of a stay we had. Our only regret was not booking it for longer.

Shore Haven: Bask in the Beauty of Spring
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to friends and family! Felt right at home ❤️

Riverdance - Heated Waterfront Pool Open 5/12-10/6
I’ve rented a number of places in this area and Riverdance was very special! The home was clean and well appointed with all you need. Location awesome - everything we like to do (downtown Douglas, downtown Saugatuck, Oval Beach and hiking trails) was 10 mins or less alway. Kitchen well appointed. The star was the pool and we enjoyed it so much! A pool with no fencing between the pool and the river - that is rare and GOLD! Todd was great to deal with and very responsive. Great property, great stay!

July 5-12&19-26 Open Mini Resort Indoor Pool&Sauna
Jennifer’s house was incredible for our 2 family vacation. The kids had an amazing time kayaking and splashing in the pool, and it was wonderful that they had plenty of books, toys, and games available. The adults enjoyed the separate living rooms, beautiful back porch, and well-stocked kitchen. The beds were very comfortable and everything was very clean. There is an uncrowded beach just a mile down the road with easy parking and nearby Holland had plenty of shopping and great restaurants.

Beautiful Family Friendly Beachfront Retreat
We came into town for a wedding and brought our 2 dogs and wanted to stay someplace safe and quiet and we definitely found that with Edgar’s home. The location was easy to find and it was nice to have private parking right along the lake. The access to the home was easy and the home nicely is decorated with every amenity you need to cook your own food. Views from the home are lovely and we went out onto the dock and spent time on the private beach a couple of the nights we were there. The beds were extremely comfortable and there were plenty of towels, which I appreciated. Location makes it easy to get into town for grocery shopping and there is a brewery in town that makes great smash burgers called Useless Creatures. We walked around the neighborhood a couple of times and we also found a great hiking spot to take the dogs very nearby. Overall, a very comfortable stay in a beautiful location.

Peninsula Paradise
This place was amazing. The views are spectacular. We will be back.

Vast Open Floor Home with Fire Pit on the Lake
They stay was absolutely wonderful and met all of our needs! We had 4 small kids and they LOVED running up and down the long hallway. The amount of bathrooms to room ratio was awesome. I was worried when we first showed up and the backyard was covered in goose poop to where it made it unusable. But I was glad to see the next morning there was a group of people to came to pick all of it and they returned every morning to do so. This was amazing and allowed us to utilize such an awesome feature of the home. The fence by the beach also gave us peace of mind for the kiddos. I was a little disappointed that I missed in the listing that this location only had a charcoal grill since they mentioned a gas grill on some of generic location offerings. We reached out to confirm and they promptly got back to us that they were booked or we would have been able to do borrow one, but we made the charcoal grill work. Just something to note if you stay here. Overall a great stay for a family vacation!!
Waterfront condo rentals

Holiday Hill Apartment 701
We loved our stay at the holiday hill! We wanted a quick getaway for just My husband and I, and this was the perfect spot. Cozy, close to everything, immaculately cleaned, renovated, we loved it so much! We will definitely be back

Waterfront condo -shop-kayak-beach-bike-boat-pool
What an outstanding spot to enjoy the beauty of Saugatuck/Douglas! This charming condo, right on the river, offers a beautiful deck where you can watch the boats sail by and see some of the fun and music across the river, but still have your own private and quiet space. It's conveniently located next to the ferry, which runs every 15 minutes, making it easy to explore both sides of the river. The condo is fully equipped and also includes access to all the amenities and services of the adjacent Beachway Resort hotel. We actually worked remotely from the condo each day and then headed out for the day - wifi and seating was perfect for working remote, though perhaps only 1 zoom call at a time unless you can take one from the bedroom. The resort staff were excellent, but Kim's welcoming, proactive and responsive communication made us feel safe and right at home. We highly recommend this rental to anyone and look forward to returning soon!

Bright & Spacious Condo (3BR/2BA) w/ Marina Views!
We had a great long weekend at Alexa’s place! It’s big, open and comfortable. Perfect for our group of six adults. Loved having 2 dedicated parking spaces. It’s about a 10 minute walk to downtown St Joe and another few minutes to reach to beach and see Michigans beautiful sunsets. We’d absolutely stay here again without hesitation.

Modern condo in Downtown Saugatuck with waterview.
Felt very peaceful & private, but still just steps away from town. We decided to stay in town very last-minute & extend our trip — Debbie & Jeff were so responsive, flexible, & helpful! Super great spot with tons of room & great hosting space, if that’s what you’re looking for!

Modern River View Retreat @ SoHa No. 6
Carol and Sam are great hosts. The condo is modern and very nicely decorated. The view of the Black River is fabulous. The condo has everything I needed to make my stay a pleasure. The location is probably the best in South Haven. Many excellent restaurants and shops within easy walking distances.

Upscale 2br w/ private beach and pool on Lake MI.
Super accommodating Host!! And awesome Place for family vacation.... on the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan, close to restaurants, close to a park, bike trail, kayaking will definitely return!

Private Beach/Pool on Lake MI Condo
My husband & I rented this gem for a week. The condo is spotless, kitchen has many amenities, tastefully decorated, very comfortable and we loved it! We loved being right on the water/ beach and close to town. Highly recommend this adorable condo.

Live the marina life in New Buffalo!
We stayed here for my sisters bachelorette weekend, it was perfect! Everything is within walking distance or a short drive away! Would definitely come again.
