    Experience Lakeshore Living in Douglas.

    Step into a completely reimagined retreat where everything—from the floors beneath your feet to the art on the walls—is brand new. Tucked in a peaceful Douglas Lakeshore area and just a short stroll from Douglas Beach, this home invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and savour the best of Michigan's lakeshore.

    Mornings might begin on the covered patio with a fresh cup of coffee, listening to the rustle of leaves and the call of songbirds. Deer, wild turkey, and curious squirrels often make a quiet appearance, and in summer, butterflies drift lazily across the grassy yard. Evenings are for laughter and conversation gathered around the fire pit or under the stars on the expansive patio.

    Inside, natural light floods the soaring two-story living room through walls of windows and sliding doors that open to the outdoors.

    Curl up on a sofa with a good book, stream your favourite shows on the 4K Smart TV, or enjoy the cosy glow of the electric fireplace—heat on or off depending on the season. Meals come together easily in the well-equipped kitchen, whether it's a quick breakfast before the beach or a long, leisurely dinner with friends around the oversized dining table.

    With four bedrooms and two bathrooms, there's room for your whole group to relax and recharge. The layout offers flexibility—private spaces for quiet moments and gathering spaces for making memories together.

    Beyond your door, adventure and charm await. Walk less than a mile for a morning latte or to rent paddleboards at Woosah, grab a classic hot dog and root beer at The Root Beer Barrel, or pedal the nearby bike path to explore city centre Douglas (1.1 miles) and Saugatuck (2.3 miles). From here, you're within easy reach of sandy beaches, boutique shops, art galleries, wineries, breweries, antique markets, hiking trails, and farm stands overflowing with local produce.

    Whether your perfect day includes kayaking at sunrise, browsing the farmers market, tasting local wine, or simply unwinding with friends in a beautiful space, this newly remodeled home is your gateway to it all.

    Please Note:

We have rented many properties over the years in many different places, and this one was one of the best. The house was immaculate, and the furnishings and provided items were all in perfect condition. The neighborhood is quiet, and a beach and coffee shop are walkable. Short drive to Saugatuck and other areas of Douglas. My only recommendation would be to allow on-property check-in. Having to go to the office in Saugatuck after a long travel day was not ideal. We have rented other properties where the door entry code goes live exactly at check-in time.

Perfect house for 7 of us. 3 adult women, 4 kids under 12. The beach is great, but LOTS of stairs to get down to it. Best to drive, but small parking area. We had a great family vacation: dune buggy ride, boat trip at sunset, shopping, etc. Just a few minutes to Saugatuck.

We had a wonderful stay! The home is beautifully finished, exceptionally clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. The location is excellent—just a short walk to the beach, making it easy to come and go throughout the day.The provided beach chairs and toys were a fantastic bonus and were enjoyed by everyone in our group. They made beach days much more convenient and saved us from having to bring or rent additional gear.Overall, this is a beautiful home in a great location with excellent amenities. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!
