Cute Cottage with Great Location!

AmyMarie Batavia, IL
Review Submitted: August 2, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
My husband and I rented this cottage for a week and brought our golden retriever. It was very cute and perfect for the 3 of us. We thought the location was almost perfect. Close to both downtown Douglas and Saugatuck and to both beaches. It's a lovely area to walk in especially if you park by Douglas Beach and walk down Lake Shore Drive. Fabulous views! The cottage had nicely done outdoor areas in which to lounge and enjoy the afternoon sun with a favorite cocktail. We enjoyed the entire week and would recommend for a small family and will definately return.

We have found our family vacation spot!

Review Submitted: June 14, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
I echo the other two reviewers comments! The cottage is absolutely perfect for a relaxed vacation in Saugatuck/Douglas. We had little ones with us and so we drove to both Douglas and Oval beach-took us under 3 mintues for both. The owner, Tom, was more than attentive and talking to him is like talking to an old friend. He genuinely wants you to have a great vacation in his cottage and provides you with the perfect spot to do so. The cottage is cozy, landscaped beautifully, quiet, and stocked with all the little things you will need! We have definitely found our family vacation spot and can't wait to return in July!

Review Submitted: May 1, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
I highly recommend staying at this property. It was clean, cozy and close to great shops and restaurants.We took advantage of both the fireplace inside and the fire pit outside. Very quiet neighborhood. Comfortable beds and everything we needed in the kitchen. The owner was very friendly and easy to conduct business with. I give it 2 thumbs up!!!

Review Submitted: November 11, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
My group consisted of my parents, me, my wife, and my 2 young sons. The house was absolutely perfect. It was immaculate, well furnished and provided all the amenities we were looking for. The house was set back from the road, so we had plenty of privacy and we did not need to worry about our boys playing outside near a busy road. We were in close proximity to the beach, as well as the chain ferry that connects Douglas to Saugatuck. The owner of the property was very attentive to our needs and we would definitely stay there again!
