Family-friendly holiday rentals in Saugatuck

My husband and I stayed 3 nights to celebrate our 25th anniversary. After going through many listings and reading guest comments, we decided to stay here. We wanted to be close to town, but we also wanted to enjoy relaxing in the outdoors. Her home is beautiful! Some guests mentioned that it was a bit outdated. We found it interesting. It was very well taken care of and very clean! We loved the floor to ceiling windows in the bedroom, the screened in porch, and all the windows facing the marsh and Kalamazoo River. It was so peaceful and EXACTLY what we needed. There were so many birds, squirrels, and even some muskrats playing in the river in the evening. We loved the fire ring next to the river. It felt very private even though there are neighbors on both sides, which you can't see too well in the photos. We stayed Mon.-Wed. and there was no one around. The only con is that the Hot Tub needs an upgrade. It didn't bother us as everything else was perfect.

Such a fun weekend! Location to beach and other fun activities was fantastic! Very cute cottage with all the amenities we needed. Thanks, Jennifer!!

The loft was absolutely perfect! Everything was so clean! The beds were extremely comfortable! The amenities were over the top! Without a doubt, the best Airbnb experience I have ever had! Even in the instruction book, the host mentioned that they supplied disposable earplugs only because the loft is right in downtown Holland on eighth Street. They thought of everything!!! we absolutely loved the history and the music theme of the place! 10/10 without a doubt!! We will definitely be back!!

Beautiful property!! We loved the privacy and enjoyed the surroundings. The hottub was a definite perk! Had a great time and hope to come back soon!

We had a great time with our family and dogs. The backyard was perfect and we had so much fun around the fire and hot tub. Would highly recommend and hope to stay again next year!

Peaceful getaway on Macatawa Bay in a gorgeous and very spacious house. Full of great equipment. Ideal location and the view on the Marina is stunning.

Mark’s place was fantastic, just what we needed for a fall getaway. It’s fully stocked and felt just like home. Next time we’ll have to stay longer!

What a beautiful home! Very comfortable, roomy, close to shops, eateries and the lake. Ben provides everything you could need for a homey stay!

Kym was very easy to communicate with and was more than willing to help with our needs. Just a word of caution about the house itself, the stairs to the unit are steep so may be difficult with someone with mobility issues. Otherwise very clean and convenient place to stay for downtown Grand Rapids.

Cynthia happened to be out with her pup as we arrived. She made the time to take me to one of the neighborhood's beach access sites so I could find the path on my own. Her place is well appointed and comfortable.

Absolutely recommend this place! It is warm and cozy, with a massive backyard which was great for our dogs to play in and for us to relax in! It feels very private and has such a unique vibe! Ann was amazing, she was kind, friendly, and gave incredible recommendations! Mason Jar Cafe is a MUST! Highly recommend and hope to return soon!

This is the second year I rented this place for my birthday weekend away with friends. The house has so many accommodations for sleeping and different sitting areas. However, the main event is the kitchen. My friends and I love to cook and that's why we came back a second year in a row. The kitchen is unbelievably well-stocked with anything you might need to cook. There are multiple sinks so someone can be cooking while someone else cleans. The layout is perfect for people to hang out with whoever is cooking. There are two ovens. It is a dream. The house feels comfortable and lived-in, and it feels like there has been a lot of thought and intention focused on the user-experience. Cannot say enough nice stuff about this house, cannot recommend enough. Will be coming back for my 29 birthday.

We loved Michael's cottage. It was perfect for our Lake Michigan getaway. An easy ride into town or to Grand Mere State Park; and a peaceful, well-tended landing spot for the mornings and evenings. Highly recommend!🌸

We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be returning! The house was beautiful and extremely clean, the master bed was so comfy and the backyard was perfect for our pup to run around in. The location was also perfect and in a peaceful area, but also only about 10 minutes to New Buffalo and some amazing restaurants! I would definitely recommend and can’t wait to book our next trip back here!!

The Place was clean and quiet. Beautiful trees surround the area. I am familiar with the New Buffalo and Union pier area. It was right in the middle of all the Restaurants. Sunroom was a great hang out. Yard was a large and private space to hang out and get a fire going. Of course, the koi fish was an extra bit of enjoyment, watching them. Would highly recommend this rental.

Always love staying at Happy Z’s! The house is very clean and it’s just a short walk to a neighborhood beach and a 5 minute drive to downtown. Great location. Cheryl is a wonderful host.

My family loved staying here! The house was very cozy and it was great to have some games and kids toys for my daughter to play with. We were celebrating my parents 40th anniversary and it was such a great touch to have a polaroid camera in the welcome items to capture memories of our trip! We also loved the local bakery down the street, everything was delicious and nice to walk to.

Excellent location!! Perfectly in between the beach and downtown. It would have been nice to utilize the chain ferry to walk to restaurants/shops, but since we stayed prior to it being open for the season, it was just a short scenic drive to get there as well!

Such a cute home. Right across the road from the Warren dunes. Easy to get back and forth with a bicycle. The cutest little ice cream shop right next door. Bed was comfortable and the bunk beds are roomy. Would definitely stay here again.

This is our 3rd year in a row to come for an extended Labor Day weekend and bring our kids and/or grandkids. We love the setting. The pool is perfect for the younger kids and the adults appreciate the beauty of all the surroundings, including at poolside. If we could change anything at all we would add another bedroom as we can't quite get all of our extended family here at one time. That said, we would like to return for a 4th year at Labor Day weekend time next year. The combination of beauty, privacy, amenities, condition (always in great shape!), and proximity to lovely South Haven can hardly be beat!

Beautiful condo and perfect location. Most everything was provided. We had a great time, would definitely stay again!! Very responsive host. Thanks!!

Jennifer’s home was absolutely amazing—beautiful, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared in every way. It was the perfect place for our family getaway. The kids had an incredible time and are still talking about all the fun they had. We felt right at home from the moment we arrived. Highly recommend staying here—thank you, Jennifer, for being such a wonderful host!

The place was great, the pool was nice and warm, and the proximity to town was fantastic. Would definitely stay again!

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this beautifully decorated and incredibly comfortable home. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home — every detail was thoughtfully designed, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The space was spotless, stylish, and perfectly equipped for a relaxing getaway. One of the highlights of our experience was the exceptional management team. They were extremely kind, friendly, and responsive, making everything seamless from check-in to check-out. It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality!
