Good Stuff and Not So Good Stuff

It took a half an hour and 4 calls to the "emergency" number to get a correct address and code. It had been a long day but thankful for Hailey who finally got us in! Property was listed at $300/night. Actually cost=$448/n with all the added fees. (And we still stripped the beds!!) The house was fine not updated in any way but fine. About 150' from the water with no access to the water. But the view from the Adirondack chairs was excellent. For the price we would not consider a return. But all that being said we had a great time being together for the first time since pre-Covid so that's what we'll remember most!

Sunset Bluff

Beautiful sunsets. Property on the outside needs a serious power washing and clean up. Inside was very clean. You can not access the beach from the property which we new it was off limits. Someone called the property management stating we where on the beach. The property management called us and we where not even at the property. Which was super frustrating. The property management was great to work with. The neighbors also complained we had a huge bonfire which was untrue. I probably would not rent at that house again because of the neighbors that clearly do not like rentals.

Delightful and unpretenious

A very clean a comfortable small house with beautiful yard and bluff overlook. Amazing sunsets. No beach access. The woods are thick, shady and cool. Dark on cloudy days, so comfortable when hot and sunny. Great HVAC and hot water. Awful coffee maker.

Property wasn’t very clean, cobwebs in the house, coffee still in the carafe, coffee grounds in the basket. The house had a very musky smell. We really expected a better house for the money. The owners should put some TLC into their property. One upside is the beautiful lake view.

Overpriced for the experience

Overall, our stay at this location was average. While the view of the lake was gorgeous, we overpaid based on the overall experience. The house is outdated and needs remodeling. The walls of the bedroom are paper thin. There was an odor on some of the furniture. The property owners called a maintenance guy during our stay to fix the garbage disposal which could have waited until we checked out. One of the two bathrooms was connected to the master bedroom which was not mentioned in the listing. It would be good if the property owners built stairs to the private beach on the property so that we did not have to drive a mile to get to the beach.

Great girls’ trip!

Sunset Bluff was a wonderful setting for an annual girls’ trip. The home was clean and comfortable for our group of 5. The home is set back from the road and accessed by a long tree-lined driveway. Though there are houses on each side, it feels very private due to the wooded setting. We enjoyed sitting by the bluff at the end of the and watching the beautiful sunsets and listening to the waves. It is a great location-close to Saugatuck and Oval Beach. Nearby small Douglas Beach is nice but parking limited and many stairs if you have someone with mobility issues.

Beautiful sunsets

We enjoyed our stay here very much. The house was spacious and comfy and no complaints on the accommodations. It was definitely disappointing to not have beach access because all the surrounding houses do. And the nearby beaches are nice but the parking fills up quickly so be sure to get there early. We did know ahead of time that the beach access was not working so it wasn’t a surprise. But we were still jealous of the nearby homes. Overall we would definitely return to this beautiful location! The fire pit was the highlight and we used it every night. An ideal family spot!

Lake Michigan View

The property sits on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. It's beautiful. Enjoyed sitting on the bluff and having a bonfire overlooking the lake. The property is close to Douglas and Saugatuck. Really enjoyed the area and all it has to offer. Yes, the house is not modern and could use some updating, but it had all the essentials. We stayed for a week and had our 18+ aged kids come visit with their friends throughout the week. Rooms worked out fine for the group. Property is situated in the woods, so be prepared for your shoes to get dirty/sandy and it to be tracked into the house frequently (always sweeping up the sand in the house). There are several spots within a short bike ride or car ride to get to the beach. I recommend the County Park one. We also went to Oval Beach. Wonderful when it's not busy. During the 4th of July timeframe, we couldn't get in, as parking filled up quickly. We brought bikes but I don't think the area is really condusive to biking. Biking down to beach area there isn't any shoulder. Same with biking into town area. No bike lanes, no shoulder, no trails/paths. Hindsight, we wouldn't have brought our bikes. Overall, great area, nice property and easy working with property company and check-in/out went well. Only suggestions would be to have a big entry rug to collect dirt/sand at the kitchen door, would be ideal to have a deck or even a table in the backyard to eat outside and enjoy the views of the lake, and upgrade the bath towels. All-in, Great!

Can't beat the view!

The home is a little tricky to find but once you figure it out you don't forget it. It's a cozy Lake Michigan cottage settled into the sand and trees with a large spacious back yard to watch the lake. Seriously beautiful sunsets! The home has everything you could need. Plenty of room. Nicely appointed kitchen. Could use a new coffee maker. Comfortable and cozy living room. Lots of windows. There are neighbors on both sides but we hardly noticed them. The driveway is shared with two other homes. I think a fair amount of moisture comes through the windows because the home does have a faint musty smell. There is one queen bedroom that has an attached bathroom and the other two rooms share a hall bath. There's only one tv, it's in the living room. Wifi works great, we were thankful because we have Verizon and had hardly any service where the house is. Every appliance and item in the house is in good working order. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Home is in an amazing location!

I never received the text stating that rental was ready to have number to text. Information on the fridge was inaccurate for WiFi and this was necessary for work. Luckily found the correct username/password on google. Kitchen and living were amazing we only used two bedrooms but they were roomy with comfortable mattresses. The bathrooms were horrible…the hall bath had a wrench attached to the cold water knob. The main bedroom shower was hard to regulate. Property definitely needs more TLC but the views were great…would’ve loved stairs to the shore. Great privacy.

This property was a good find. Pet friendly, on a bluff over looking Lake Michigan. The cabin exterior is outdated.

Sunset Bluff Delivered

The viewing spot for sunsets delivered!The was gorgeous, property is large and tree lined (they kept the house cool)and looks out on Lake Michigan. The chairs we around the fire pit and more seating for lake viewing. It is close to Douglas and Saugatuck but also didn’t have to go anywhere. The house is equipped with everything for family time lots of seating, games etc. If there was one drawback it is the shore erosion and lack of steps to beach, though beach is less than a mile away.
