We will stay here again! Bring your own coffee grounds and #4 cone filters.

The hot tub and chiminea were also nice since it was cool during our trip. Our adult kids loved the sunset on the beach while we enjoyed the view from the upstairs balcony deck! ##### Rose B.

This rental is gorgeous and perfect for a trip to the lake. We would definitely rent it again! The inside of the house was beautiful, clean, and well furnished. I do wish the outdoor areas were given the same attention; we weren't able to use the patio or balcony because they were so dirty. The grill was also very dirty. Also note for future renters: there are no beach towels available at the property, bring your own! ##### Stella G.

Our family of 5 loved this property and all its amenities. The house was clean and very well-decorated. It’s a unique home with a lot of character and space to spread out. Being dog friendly was a huge bonus and it was so nice to sit out in the screened in porch. Private access to the beach was top notch with very clear instructions. The beach was clean and provided a nice area for kids to swim. The home also included beach chairs and water toys suitable for elementary to middle school kids. We’re definitely marking this house as one we’d like to return to! ##### James O. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren M. 19 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Everything you need for a wonderful vacation getaway We had 5 adults stay here for a high school friends reunion and this house was perfect for us! The house had everything we needed, was super clean, 3 fridges, plenty of parking, the beds were comfortable and we loved the bathroom upgrades (fancy toilets were a hit). We noticed there were 4 beach chairs in the garage, but we never needed them (good to know though).This house would be perfect for a big family or a group of friends trying to reconnect. I would not hesitate to stay here again. ##### Lauren M.

The yard is all fenced in and nice. The walk to the beach is very short but there are quite a few stairs down. There are beaches if anyone needs to take a break on the way up/down. The house has been updated and has a lot of modern decor. Very cozy. Comfy beds. Lots of space to spread out in the house. Everything is well thought out. Loved our stay. ##### jenelle p.

Over four days, the sun shone, it rained, and it snowed—and still, it was magnificent! It's a large space that still feels cozy, has great kitchen amenities, and was a perfect setting to focus on a major project. We were productive, inspired by the breathtaking view of Lake Michigan, and very comfortable. ##### Tammy Z.

What a beautiful home and what a great time we had… especially loved the screened in porch and watched shooting stars from the upper deck. Beach access too. Close to all our favorite shops, restaurants and activities in Fennville, Douglas and Saugatuck . Finny (our dog) enjoyed his first vacation. The fenced in yard was very helpful. Can’t wait to return. ##### Kim R. ### 8/10 Good #### Jeremy D. 2 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Untroubled Exposure Well-appointed main floor perfect for a staycation complete with sunroom/game porch angled towards the lake. Many windows and doorways expose the interior to the road or neighboring home-lots with no functional covering options. Semi-private garden includes fire pit but breezeway provides direct exposure from hot tub to road. Room-specific combination of radiant heat HVAC is user-friendly enough. Well-appointed kitchen featured a cappuccino machine. Hi-tech toilet seats were a genuine highlight. ##### Jeremy D.

Comfy beds and in a peaceful location. Be prepared for no cellular service. The house is walking distance less than 50 ft from the top of the staircase to go to the lake then there is 100 steps to get down to the lake. Anyone with knee problems shouldn’t book this place. I would book this home again in the future. Rated it a 4 star because of the price, it could have been less. Vacasa has a lot of fees. ##### William M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chrissy P. 15 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We really enjoyed our stay at Afterglow. The proximity to a perfectly sized private beach was ideal for our group. It’s exactly 89 steep steps from the neighbor’s yard to the beach. The stairs are in really good condition, recently replaced by the lovely neighbors. The house itself is really special. We used the side screened porch a ton, loved the hot tub and appreciated the outdoor shower where we rinsed off after the beach. The decor is a mix of mid-century modern and craftsman. Modern bathrooms and kitchen. The bedrooms on the first floor were warm, around 75 degrees at night during our stay in early July. The house has A/C but it’s not vented to those rooms. We used fans and did okay, but it was definitely warm.The house is decently appointed, but be sure to bring your own coffee grounds, #4 coffee filters, dish sponge and dish soap, and dishwasher pods if you plan on cooking at the house. Same thing with washing machine detergent and dryer sheet. Tip: The garage has some beach chairs to use, we wish we had known that ahead of time, we wouldn’t have wasted the space in our car. There is a Meijer about 15 minutes drive away, same thing with great restaurants in Douglas and Saugatuk. We personally loved that we were on a very quiet, private beach, but if that’s not your thing, just be aware of that. We will absolutely book this house again in the future, we loved it! ##### Chrissy P.
