Rent a vintage boat at Retro Boat Rentals in nearby Saugatuck and follow the river all the way to Lake Michigan! "This spot was perfect for reuniting family from three different states, plus all our local loved ones. We spent countless afternoons playing board games, solving puzzles, and soaking up quality family time. Exploring Douglas and Saugatuck was a breeze with them being so close. I can’t recommend this place enough for families!" Amy A. INSIDE THE HOME This beautiful home offers three full floors of living space with plenty of room for everyone.

We also appreciate your company’s responsiveness should there ever be an issue at a property" Laurie F. "Our home rental at 72 Water Street in Douglas, MI was wonderful! The location is PERFECT! It’s a 3 minute walk to Douglas and 1 mile walk or drive to Saugatuk. The house itself was lovely and well maintained. It makes a difference to have plenty of towels, detergent, regular sized laundry, nice complete set of mugs and dishes, dish soap, etc. Two of the bathrooms were modernized, and the third bathroom was sufficient.. I would stay at this house again! Thank you!" Jill W. "We haven’t taken a family vacation for a while and this year we decided to take our three grown daughters and their families and stay all together. This house was perfect. We all had plenty of space and the grandkids had a blast. Best part of the trip was seeing everyone laugh and be relaxed in what felt like our home for the week." Traci K.
