Cozy house great for the whole family! The location is beautiful and our kids loved watching the deer, turkeys and birds right in the backyard. The accommodations are good but there were quite a few things that need improvement. The bathroom upstairs didnt lock and the bathtub did not drain. The king size beds are two twins put together and if you sit on the edge they almost flipover. There is also an ant problem so we could not leave anything on the kitchen counters for more than a few minutes. The fridge also leaked water from the freezer and so our pizza was soaked after being stored in the fridge overnight. The house is beautiful and has a lot of charm but it also has a smell like its not being used very much. Other than those issues we had a great stay.

House was completely furnished and had all of the needs to stay in for few days
But if the beds will be changed or fixed ( some of them were not comfortable at all for sleep) : could be great !!!
Beach also not in 300 feet from the house : if someone looking to spend time on the sand : beach is in 3 miles away

Great location to be close to a small local beach, didn’t actually go to the beach except to watch the sunset which was great. Big backyard with a firepit. Plenty of bedrooms which worked great for our 2 and 4 year olds, lots of space in the house. Wish there were more restaurants closer within walking distance but still just a short drive away. If you have kids I would say this is a great spot to stay as you have lots of space outside and inside and close to the beach.

This place is in a lovely neighborhood directly across from Lake Michigan. We were four people in mid-October, and walking Lake Shore Drive was perfect. The kitchen was fine for weekend use, the bedrooms were very cozy, with good beds and lots of closet and shelf space. Check in and out was easy.

House was very clean and easy to access. Lake Michigan is on opposite of side of road. Very quiet neighborhood. It was perfect for our ladies group. Plenty of bath towels and kitchen had plenty of dishes and utensils and pots and pans. Nice sitting area outback with wildlife seen frequently. The only thing that was a little off from what was advertised was that the listing showed 2 of the bedrooms having 2 twin bed each and in reality one of the room contained a trundle bed. Not a big big deal for most maybe but my only suggestion would be to clarify that on the listing. But overall we were 99.999999% satisfied and would stay there again.

Home is nestled in a wooded neighborhood, just a short drive from downtown Saugatuck (about 5 minutes) and equal distance to Oval Beach the other way. Slept 6 adults and 2 kiddos easily. Only suggestion would be to update the coffee maker, took too long to brew a pot. Other then that, would definitely stay again.

The greatest thing about A Shore Thing cottage is its location. You are walking distance to a great sunset view at Douglas, and a five minute drive to Oval beach. Downtown Saugatuck is just across the bay,and you have South Haven below you/Holland above.

There were a few ants ( like 2 ants) in the bathroom and the plastic chairs outside were cracked. There was no lighter fit the fire pit but otherwise the place was really comfortable and worked for our budget and I would recommend it.

We stayed for three nights in September and the house was perfect. Located in a tree-covered and quite lakeshore neighborhood of Douglas. It is very well maintained and organized. Perfect for a weekend getaway with family and friends. We loved the firepit and well maintained yard. Very comfortable beds.
