Summary: Absolutely incredible stay! Hands-down our best VRBO experience. The house was immaculate, beautifully maintained, and incredibly spacious, more than enough room to very comfortably accommodate our group of 14, which included a few small children. It was clear the owners went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect.The home was stocked with absolutely everything we could have possibly needed. The kitchen had every utensil and gadget. There were plenty of essentials, a huge variety of toys and books for kids, and even thoughtful touches like baby gates, high chair, baby monitor, and pack-n-plays. It truly made traveling with little ones so much easier and stress-free.There were multiple comfortable sitting areas throughout the home that made it easy for everyone to gather, relax, and enjoy each other’s company. The indoor fireplace added a warm, cozy touch. The downstairs game room was an absolute hit with both the kids and adults. Whether it was shuffle board, board games, or just unwinding, there was something for everyone to enjoy. The outdoor space was just as fantastic with plenty of room to play and lounge, and a hot tub and grill. The town of Douglas is charming, peaceful, and full of character. We loved exploring local shops, cafes, and beaches. And being just minutes from Saugatuck was a huge bonus, such a vibrant and beautiful town with even more to see and do.This property is a true gem, is highly recommended, and five stars is not enough!
