This property has a rat problem
This property is owned by Vacasa. You just book through Vrbo. On the surface, everything about this place is great. Unfortunately, we saw a rat multiple times in the kitchen. It was clearly familiar and comfortable with the place as it knew right where to scurry and climb that would let it vanish. We had our dog with us and were uneasy thinking about whether the rat had helped itself to our dog's food or water bowls. We look around and there were no supplies to deal with the situation, e.g. traps. It's not uncommon to have rats in the country, of course, but this is a vacation property. We wanted to relax. Repeated calls to Vacasa resulted in representatives telling us to "just stay there" and deal with it. If we'd had a toddler or a baby, you can't tell me that'd be the going advice. We ended our trip early and drove home because of this. Since then, neither Vacasa corporate, the local Vacasa team, nor Vrbo have been any help. We have not been refunded for the time we didn't stay nor have we been given any kind of partial credit to use on either site. No one has even been remotely apologetic. Won't be staying here again, obviously, and also will never book another Vacasa property again. Terrible customer service and money wasted.

Excellent stay overall, beautiful home, yard, and wonderful location. Loved the nature preserve right across the street and short walk to the beautiful beach. Only thing that could have been better is the fireplace. Communication/instructions provided were not great and the pilot light was out. We therefore could not use it. Would be helpful to make sure it is working well before guests arrive. Otherwise it was an amazing stay and we’d definitely come again! Thank you!

Great Stay
The house is well appointed and has a great set up. The area is pleasantly quiet and it is a wonderful spot for a get away. Perfect for a family or two couples. The only downfall of the house is it only has one bathroom. Very clean!

Property was great and had nice flow for 2 couples to move around and have privacy when needed. Biggest complaint was only having one bathroom for 4 adults and virtually no toiletries provided...only one 1 inch bar of soap!

Vacasa lacking in response
Initially we were pleased with the house however during the first night we discovered many bugs that looked very similar to ticks throughout the home. We called Vacasa the next morning with the issue. The individual we spoke to took the information and stated we would get a call from local Vacasa representative for next steps. In the mean time we used Google to try to identify the type of insect throughout the home while waiting for local Vacasa to call back. In the end we identified the bug as a non-tick insect. We killed approximately 40+ bugs in the home over the course of the stay. We never received a call back from Vacasa - national or local. We should not have to spend our vacation time following up on an issue. Very disappointed that we had to figure out the issue on our own and never received any type of response back from Vacasa.

A Great Getaway Near Lake Michigan!
We enjoyed everything about this beautiful, clean, well-stocked and well-maintained home that's just a short distance from Saugatuck. We appreciated the quiet, peaceful surroundings and the opportunity to include our dog, who thoroughly enjoyed his time there with us. It was fun sitting on the decks and porch. We'll be back in any season!

Clean home, ideal location
The home is beautiful and well maintained. Lots of amenities. The location is fantastic for a summer visit. The easy access to the nature preserve and from there to the beach was ideal.
