Great stay!
This property was adorable. It was perfect for a girls weekend. When we showed up the driveway had not been plowed so that was a small challenge but otherwise everything else was great! The beds were so comfortable! We would definitely go back again!

Great Porch and Within walking Distance to Town
The rental was a great space for my parents, dog and I. We would wake and walk into town for our morning exercise, watch movies in the evening on the porch and rock on the front porch after spending the day out in town or checking out new spots. My mom couldn’t do the walk to town and walk downtown - so we still needed to park downtown for her. Luckily it was an ‘off’ season so we did t have to worry about parking! Lovely home!

Very nice home except….
Very cute home but the entryway from the sunroom to enter the house there is a high step over which I did not see because I was carrying things into the house and tripped and fell. This should be marked at eye level. I am ok but landed on a knee that I am having replaced next week. Pretty painful. Great place but please mark this hazard.

Overall, we had a good stay! The property is cute and in a convenient location. Updated kitchen and all the essentials you will need. Close enough for a longer walk to Butler Street - the listing quotes 13 minutes. That is not accurate...it is more like 20-25 minutes. Not horrible but it helps to know the real distance to plan accordingly. The home was clean but definitely not worthy of five stars. Dead bugs behind bathroom doors, cobwebs in the three season porch space, kitchen sink not wiped out and it had just been cleaned before our arrival (based on their real-time calendar it was booked for several weeks straight before our arrival). One concern is that the pictures certainly do not reflect the current state of the home. It is in need of some TLC - deck has paint peeling and chipping everywhere, weeds throughout stone walk up, overgrown shrubbery/flowers around deck and entrance to the backyard, scuffs on almost every wall from renters and their luggage, and mattresses both had multiple urine stains on them as did two of the eight pillows. It looked like it has really been "lived" in without much attention in many years. The biggest concern was that two doors did not lock. The door from the home to the three season porch did not lock nor did the door from the home to the backyard. This to me is unacceptable even in a very safe town like Saugatuck. Overall, it was a good rental.

TERRIBLE Property Company - VACASA
Overall experience was horrible all due to the property company VACASA. TOO many things to mention. But overal they treat their customers like a number and look to make MONEY FROM YOU ONLY!!! YOU ARE NOT A PERSON TO THEM WITH the importance of making your stay a comfortable one...VERBO needs to get rid of VACASA ASAP!! Go back to what works...CARING ABOUT THE CUSTOMER!!

Another great home for our annual Saugatuck summer vacation!
We have been coming to Saugatuck for 10 years and found a couple homes we love to make ours for the week. This was our first time staying here and loved it. Location is on outskirts of town so felt secluded, but could easily walk to downtown for food, drinks and shopping. This house has a fenced in yard which was perfect for our doggy. House was super clean, plenty of space for a family of four. We loved the screened in patio and spent a lot of time out there relaxing!

Pet friendly place
This was a cute, comfortable cottage with a wonderful screened in porch. Street was quiet and not too far of a walk to town. My only complaint is that the bedrooms undoubtedly smelled like dog urine. I understand it’s a pet friendly home, but rugs/bed shirts might be a bad idea for furry friends marking their territory.

Excellent for families & dogs!
We loved our time at Rise N Shine with our 1.5 year old toddler & 10 year old dog. The house is very well stocked and was incredibly clean. We were pleased with the ceiling fans in both bedrooms & the large tub in one of the bathrooms. The landscaping & fenced backyard are beautiful, such an added bonus for us! We easily walked downtown each day and wandered the quiet surrounding streets for a family walk each evening before bedtime. My husband and I enjoyed the screened in front porch during nap time! We’re already looking forward to another stay next year!

Everything about the stay was awesome!
This was a perfect place for us to stay as I had to do a job in the area and my family wanted to join me. The house is great! The location was perfect and the fenced in yard was perfect for our dog. Walking distance to town, everything was great! The home was immaculate. They even had a toy and treat for our dog. There was a small issue with the lighting, but the hosts were completely responsive and willing to help everything got figured out with ease.

Very nice property
Be aware: All doors lock by lifting handle, then turning deadbolt. It’s a two hand job to lock the doors. Not bad, just be aware if you’re carrying things. The washing machine is ooc, and has been for some time. A little heads up beforehand would have helped us pack for the duration. We pack expecting to do laundry mid-week, so we had to adjust. The yard is fenced, no holes for your furry escape artist to find. Please clean up afterwards. Loved the appliances. Nice toaster, microwave, oven, fridge & dishwasher. Plus: Very nice shower, slate with two shower heads, one hand held. Very hot water eventually. Super comfortable King size bed. Leather couch. Sonos tv speaker. Plus Plus: Nice heated towel rack and vaulted ceilings. Lost a star for knowing the washer wouldn’t be operational and not telling us. They comped us $X/day but I would much rather have been warned so we could pack accordingly. All in all, nice 2 bed 2 bath with fenced yard. Walk to downtown in 15 minutes. The closer you get, the more it costs; so we were happy to walk the extra blocks. Easy 4.5 stars.

Cute and cozy
Overall, the home was lovely. Well decorated. It looked loved. It is small, but super cozy. There were 2 of us (mom and son) and any more would have felt crowded. There were some issues with hot water and the stove, but we managed. Backyard was perfect for our 5 month old puppy - safe and secure. The neighborhood is very nice and walked to the town of Saugatuck and found other nice paths. We would return.
