Quiet Spacious Property in Newport Harbor/Saugatuck Douglas
Our house is located in Newport Harbor, a peaceful quiet location very close to Douglas and Saugatuck downtowns and to the Douglas and Saugatuck beaches. With wide open spaces in the front and the back, it is pleasurable for early rises and sunset watchers. The sun rises behind the Kalamazoo River and the deck looks at a pond where the sun sets. The location is also great for bicycling and canoeing. We have 4 single person kayaks, a 3 seat canoe and a dock to launch them into the Kalamazoo River leading to the Saugatuck Harbor area, and Michigan Lake. The beaches and Saugatuck is 3 miles if one wants to bicycle. With four spacious bedrooms, each with a walk in closet, a large living room with a vaulted ceiling it can accommodate large groups up to 10 people. The full kitchen and outside grill areas will add convenience to your stay.

Very spacious and comfortable
Went up to Michigan for a long weekend with idk college friends. We really enjoyed the place. With it being Memorial Day weekend however a lot of the outside areas looked as if they hadn't been checked on in a long time. For instance there was cobwebs in the doorway going from the kitchen to outside, the grill was was out of propane gas and a lot of the outdoor chairs had blown throughout the yard. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay!

Recommend this rental
Nice quiet neighborhood, easy access to several towns in area. House can be a bit loud-sound really carries throughout. When walking upstairs the downstairs can hear it, especially in downstairs bedroom. Kitchen pretty well stocked with pans, plates etc except for baking sheet. Back patio very nice and lots of chairs! Overall, we had a great time and would recommend!

Beautiful, convenient, quiet home
We had a wonderful stay here. The house was spacious and accommodated us (5 adults) well. It was very convenient to get to Douglas, Saugatuck, and other nearby areas. We loved the big windows and sitting outside, but the best part for me was the access to the kayaks and canoes. We kayaked multiple times during our stay and it was beautiful.
If staying for a long duration, check the pre-arrival email and/or do an inventory of what’s available in the house in order to plan grocery shopping.

Annual Friend Trip to MI
We had a great trip. The house was perfect for our large group. The kids loved playing yard games outside, playing tag around the house, and climbing trees. The adults enjoyed the large sunny deck. We all enjoyed the kayaks, very easy to transport to the water. Loved the quiet neighborhood, a great get away from the hecktic downtown.

Family vacation
House was beautiful , very clean and convenient to the town. The living room ceiling fan was broken and could not be fixed while we were there. We made the owner aware but felt this should have been addressed before we arrived. It was very hot and could have used it. He was very apologetic however and genuinely felt bad.
Beautiful neighborhood and very quiet away from the noise. Highly recommend .

We left the property. The only drawback we had was the kayaks were not able to be used because the water level was low enough that we couldn’t get them into the water and if we did, we could not get out of the kayaks back onto the dock there were no stairs attached that would give you easy access to and from the kayaks once in the water. The other few things that we had we contacted the maintenance guy that had been suggested and he came out and handled the situation.

Wonderful home for families
My wife, her family and I stayed here for a weekend and this was a wonderful home with many nice sized rooms. It was very clean and in a beautiful neighborhood. It was close enough to downtown Saugatuck and every other neighboring areas we visited (like Holland). Selim was very friendly and quick to respond to any messages I had. I will definitely stay here in the future.

Great stay in Douglas
The pictures don’t quite do it justice. Great space. This is perfect for multi-generational stays because of the first floor bed and bath. Our kids loved the huge backyard and the tree swing. We saw lots of beautiful wildlife in the backyard and we were close to all that Douglas and Saugatuck have to offer. Wonderful stay!

Relaxing Riverside Stay Near Saugatuck
Our family had a wonderful stay. This home is well-kept, large and the perfect spot to enjoy one of Michigan's premier spots. The place was clean and well stocked. When we arrived a couple of adarondock chairs in the back were broken, and the owner had two new ones delivered the very next morning. That was impressive. We loved having access to the nearby Kalamazoo River. I escaped with my son-in-law a couple of mornings to go fishing, and we caught several bass and northern pike. The dock is a little tricky to enter, but we managed. Overall, this was a fantastic experience. Especially enjoyed the ping pong table in the basement and the expansive and lovely backyard.

Great Stay!
The house was perfect for our group of 8 friends. We had everything we needed to grill, cook, kayak/canoe, and just hang out and have fun! Location is great...5-10 minutes to Douglas and Saugatuck and 20 to Holland. Fantastic breweries, wineries, and restaurants nearby. River access is a short walk to the dock with the kayaks and canoes. We paddled to the Red Dock Cafe on the river. Guessing maybe a 4-6 mile round trip paddle. It was a workout but worth it! Communication was great with the owners too.
We would definitely recommend staying here if in the area!

Nature and Nurture!
This is a delightful home and yard. Large back area, relatively private, with gas fire pit and view of a large pond. We enjoyed the family of three Great Blue Herons that spent their daily lunch and quiet time out by the pond. Canadian geese and several varieties of duck enjoyed the pond as well a beaver! We were here near the end of the season, Columbus Day weekend, so it was chilly and some of the shoppes and restaurants were closed, yet those that were open in Douglas and Saugatuck were great. The house had plenty of room for my two daughters and my 15 year old granddaughters. We had a delightful time. The house is aged and creaky as am I, and could use some attention to cosmetics, but overall comfortable.
