About this property

Walk to the beach, relax on the enclosed porch. Close to everything!

Welcome to the lake! Our well appointed home is centrally-located within walking distance (0.8 mi) to Douglas Beach, a short bike/drive to the acclaimed Oval Beach and just across Lake Kalamazoo from downtown Saugatuck! Enjoy a morning coffee or evening cocktail on the peaceful screened-in porch. Gather for an al fresco meal in our outdoor dining space.
The kitchen is fully stocked for all your needs, but be sure to explore all the fantastic dining options and quaint shops in the downtowns of Saugatuck and Douglas, both under 2 miles from the house or a short chain ferry ride across the river.

Great house, great location
Had our annual ladies weekend this year here. House was great: spacious for 6 adults, two outdoor spaces to enjoy and overall fit the needs for our stay. Chad was very attentive to any issues or concerns we had, responded instantly. Made forever memories we will cherish! Great stay, you won’t be disappointed.

About the host

Hosted by Pete & Marlene

Host profile image
We been coming to the Saugatuck/Douglas area as a family for close to a decade. We love it in the Summer and Fall months, but it’s a wonderful place all year long! Oval Beach is special. The towns are quaint and full of great dining options, shops and art. Minutes away are great breweries, fruit picking farms, hiking and biking trails. All you would need to have a relaxing time away but plenty of options to keep you busy. We would be more than happy to provide all our recommendations and favorite spots in detail upon inquiry!

Why they chose this property

Situated between Lake Michigan and Lake Kalamazoo, our property is perfectly positioned for all your needs. Walk or drive to the beach in under 5 minutes. Drive or bike into town in a similar amount of time, or take the only remaining chain ferry in the US right into downtown Saugatuck (0.9 mi walk).
Nothing is out of reach from our location and you'll come home from your days adventure or night out to a quiet neighborhood.
