Beautiful sunsets, spacious, great location!

This house is great for a large group. We had our grown kids and spouses for a week vacation. Plenty of room for everyone, fully stocked kitchen, large table, great bar area! Plenty of outdoor seating from various areas. Small but notable were some overgrown landscaping over the steep steps to the beach. The sundeck was great but for awareness not a lot of space on the actual beach by the water. Great location and quick drive to Saugatuck and Douglas for shopping and dining. We enjoyed our vacation here!

The home was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with everything we needed—from plenty of towels and bedding to a fully equipped kitchen and large dining table. The location was perfect—close to activities but still felt private and secluded, even with neighbors nearby. Beds and couches were very comfortable. We enjoyed swimming and relaxing on the small beach, and the benches on the steps were especially helpful for our older parents. Host communication was excellent, with quick responses before and during our stay. Highly recommend!

Great Location on Lake Michigan

A Slice of Heaven on Lake Michigan

A beautiful, cozy home with great views from every window and everything you could possibly need. Super close to the many activities, restaurants and parks in Douglas and Saugatuck, but also has enough going on (hot tub, fire pit, games, fireplace) that you could easily hunker down and have a fun vacation without ever leaving this amazing house!

A Break at the Lake

Wonderfully relaxing. The sweeping view of Lake Michigan was awesome and the nearness of it meant being lulled to sleep each night by the waves breaking on the shore. And the coziness of the fireplace in the great room made the cool and rainy days almost welcome. We’ve already booked a return visit.

The 4 for cleanliness is because the BBQ grill was a mess. We spent about 15 minutes cleaning it up. Other than that the rest of the house was a 5.

Lovely home located within a short drive of many local places worth visiting. But more importantly a perfect place to relax and soak up nature!

Family Vacation

The location of this property is spectacular! The Sunset Views are exquisite. We loved the hammocks, the hot tub, the fire pit, the beach, and the close proximity to Saugatuck. The home had a wonderful layout for our entire family. Each room was very special and we enjoyed all locations throughout the house. We took long walks on Lakeshore Drive in front of the house which were lovely. The owners were very accommodating and kindly answered any questions we had during our stay. This was a five star experience for our whole family. We would return !

Great House with even a better location.

This house was better than described on VRBO. Each bedroom had its own AC system, besides the whole house, for maximum comfort. The master bedroom suite was very large and the bathroom was comparable to a suite at the American Club. The 2nd best bedroom was the over the garage suite with a privacy door and a wonderful bathroom. The kitchen was so well stocked that it even had a pizzelle maker and more glassware than you could use. The lower lake deck had everything you needed to make your day on the lake enjoyable. Would definitely stay again.

This place is amazing! The views of Lake Michigan are outstanding. The decor was Cozy cabin meets retro chic and we were obsessed! The shower in the master bath was to die for. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need. This is the house you go to and don’t want to leave, but if you do it is so close to downtown. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Where do I begin? This is our 2nd times staying here and it’s just as breathtaking as the first!! We celebrated our 11 year anniversary and even brought along more family to enjoy a little vacation time. The weather was amazing so it just made it that much more memorable. The hosts and property manager are great and easy to reach! I would absolutely recommend anyone to stay here! If you are lucky as we were- you will want to go back time and time again!! Absolutely refreshing, beautiful and last but not least- DREAMY!!!

Another wonderful week at our home away from home!

My family enjoyed another wonderful week making priceless memories at the Sunset Views Cottage, the most amazing views on Lake Michigan! Our hosts were so wonderful, once again making our booking, check-in and check-out process a breeze. The property manager was incredibly responsive when we reached out with any questions during our stay, and was as friendly and helpful as can be. The house was perfect for our group of 6 adults and two children. We didn’t need to bring much because it’s so well stocked with towels, blankets, some water toys, cooking supplies and even a s’mores kit that we enjoyed around the fire pit. We enjoyed watching the boats go by, Bald Eagles soar overhead and a storm roll in from the amazing deck below and great room above. We love how comfortable the rooms, furniture and sitting areas are throughout the property. We also enjoyed walking up Lakeshore Drive in the evenings. But the sunsets were perhaps my favorite part of each day. Cloudy or clear, we made sure to be home to see “the show” each evening which ranged from soft cotton candy skies to the most radiant and striking colors as the sun dipped down into the lake. We can’t get enough of Sunset Views, or our wonderful hosts! We look forward to booking again and again.

Amazing house that is big enough but not too big. We so enjoyed staying at Brian and Matt’s Sunset Cottage. I planned a surprise 60th for my husband where all 3 of our kids and spouses came for a 3-day weekend. We had plenty of space, gorgeous views, comfortable beds, private sleeping spaces, a dinning table that worked for all of us, the hot tub, the fire pit and an amazingly well stocked kitchen. We loved our stay and made great memories. Simply wonderful!

Anniversary to remember

Where do I begin? From the moment we walked in and took one look at our view, it was unbelievable! I mean you’re literally on the water!! Plus the house was perfectly stocked, grill just out the back door, and a hot tub- great for stargazing. So many amazing perks in the house, but it still feels homely. Every morning was spent with freshly brewed coffee on the porch listening to the water hit the shore. The bedrooms are cozy, temperature in every room was perfect. But the hidden secret to the whole place is the master bathroom- the shower room is ridiculous! Brian and Matthew were gracious hosts, and their property manager Chad is readily available. What a way to spend our 10yr anniversary. This home is amazing and we will definitely be back!
