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.

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.

September weekend
All 6 of us ladies had an enjoyable stay. The bedrooms were very roomy, comfortable beds, and nice bedding. Although the kitchen is small, it was well supplied with all the necessary utensils, pots/pans and dish wear for cooking. The toaster was testy and probably should be replaced. Had an issue with a fire alarm chirping away when arrived and continued for a period of time until handyman arrived. All rooms nicely furnished. Otherwise we had a great time.

Great House for Family Getaway
This house was located close to Saugatuck and Douglas in a nice neighborhood. The yard was huge with a small pond and great deck for enjoying evenings. Few updates are needed and the water pressure not great but still ok. Only one TV in the house. Few spooky light issues upstairs in the bedrooms. Overall a great stay and worked well for our family.

A Great Getaway
My friends and I had a fabulous long weekend staying at this house. Many VRBO properties don't live up to their photos/listings, but this one definitely did! Tons of space, plenty of comfortable seating to hang out in, very clean, and nicely stocked with basics. The location was great - quiet & scenic (we all loved seeing all of the birds visiting the lake in the backyard every day).

Nice stay in Saugatuck
Overall a very good stay. Property is as advertised and it worked out well for us. Selim was easy to communicate with and he helped us out with early check in. The property could use some general maintenance on minor things like shower heads and faucets suffering from hard water deposits. Thanks Selim!

Annual Family Vacation
While to house is very well located close to the Douglas / Saugatuck beaches and activities and in a nice, quite neighborhood, its obvious when driving up which house is the rental. Bushes needed trimming (which took place over 2 evenings during our stay along with the yard equipment trailer parked along side the house). Improvements are needed. Though no fault of the owners, and animal had clearly died under the deck and the stench rendered the deck area unusable. Owner did respond promptly but problem was not resolved. We also would like to have opened any of the windows in the home to enjoy the summer fresh air but none of the windows have screens. Details are everything and many were lacking regarding upkeep.

70th Birthday gIrls trip
This house is large and has plenty of room for everything and everyone. The yard is big enough to play games and the fountain in the back makes it very pretty.The outside of the yard needs the weeds pulled and cleaned up.The kayaks looked nice but we didn't use them as launching them and taking them out of the water was not possible. Unable to get them to the dock also.Cleaning crew inside needs to make sure all cobwebs are removed as there were several that our women walked thru...Coffee pot needs to be replaced as it takes forever to brew.There should be more linens and blankets as sometimes you don't want a large comforter .Bathrooms were large and linens provided there were nice.Outside chairs by firepit need to be replaced.This house is close to everything that you want to do in the area and we all had an amazing time there.We are very happy that we stayed here close to everything we wanted to do.Just a few minor changes and it could be oerfect.Great hosts .

Great Location/Bring your own basic things
First off - the listing says you can change your dates up to 60 days prior, THIS IS NOT TRUE. We wanted to shorten our stay by one day and were told if we want to shorten it, cancel the whole thing and they'll find someone else to rent for the weekend - so clearly false advertising. Make sure your dates are solid because you can't change them. This is the second time I've stayed at this property. The house is big enough for a large family. The kayaking is wonderful. The inside of the house is mostly maintained - some burned out lightbulbs, but nothing major to that end. The kitchen is not stocked at all - there is a grill but no grilling utensils. It's a very bare bones kitchen when it comes to supplies. Bring your own sponge, paper towels, dishwashing detergent, etc. Also, there is a washer and dryer but the dryer doesn't work very well. Ran our towels in it three times and they were still wet. There is only one TV, so if you want to watch more than one thing, bring your own device. The outside is full of weeds. I mentioned this last year but still looks the same. The landscaping is atrocious and not like the pictures. Other than lawn mowing, the outside is not maintained. There isn't a regular firepit anymore - it is a gas one now, not amazing for roasting marshmallows. But it works. It is a great location. Not far from the beach, downtown Saugatuck, Holland. Easy to get around. The bedrooms are spacious and have big closets - but like I mentioned, no TVs in the bedrooms. Great amenities - ping pong table in the basement, kayaks in the garage, a hammock and table/chairs outside. Small beach area to enjoy by a pond with nice fountains. Would recommend, but come prepared with the basics that a house should have and know your dates.

Recent stay
Over all the stay was great! The outside of house could use a good power washing and the 1-2 deck boards could be replaced. House exactly as pictured and very good location to Douglas and Saugatuck! Kayaks were fun but the dock is a little Confusing as far as which part belongs to owner and hard to get in and out of water. It would have been nice to have a few more chairs or benches around fire pit area. However, we just carried down the chairs from deck. Bring bug spray!! Lots of mosquitos while trying to enjoy fire! Host easy to communicate with!
