    First time in Saugatuck and we were looking for some things to do on the water. I saw the ad for…read moreRetro Boats, so we decided to make a reservation. We chose "Ruby" and a time for 11:30 am. The reservation process was very easy and we were even able to take our little dog on the boat with us! The 3 of us enjoyed a nice, relaxing ride with pretty scenery and beautiful weather. The employees are friendly and helpful and gave us easy to follow instructions. The ride takes about 1 1/2 hours from start to finish. The boat does not go much over 5 mph and is pretty easy to maneuver. I would definitely recommend this if you are looking for a fun, leisurely way to spend an hour or two. We even saw a few turtles!

    What a wonderful way to explore the opening to the Kalamazoo River from Lake Michigan! We rented…read moreRuby the retro boat yesterday to tool around in at 4mph. The boat itself is a beauty and so eye catching. It was my husband's birthday so we brought along our daughter and her boyfriend to help us celebrate. We could've purchased from their wide variety of beverages (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) but we were too excited to get the show on the road. The young lady provided us with instructions on where we could boat around and what the general etiquette is on the lake. Everything went off without a hitch and we got the boat back right on time. The people running the facility were very helpful and friendly. We did get an adult beverage before our launch. They have a wonderful bar area you can sit and watch the boats go by while you wait for your turn! Overall a wonderful experience!

    We were pleasantly surprised with the Secret of Saugatuck Suites. We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite…read moreand the rooms are better in person than in the online photos. It was clean, quiet, and a little off the Saugatuck beaten path, but only a 5 min. drive to downtown. We would definitely stay here again.

    I have now stayed here twice and I the owners have done a nice job making small improvements to the…read moreproperty and keeping it clean and well kept. It offers studio, 1 br, 2br up to a house as options. The rooms aren't anything fancy or upscale but clean and well kept. All rooms have a full kitchen which is nice if you stay a while. The furniture is well...cheap but works just fine. The pool and hot tub are a great perk and selling point for me. The location is very nice. Tucked away on the lake side at the Douglas saugatuck border and just a mile from oval beach (bring and ride your bike or drive, not an easy walk) or walk up the road 1/2 mile to the lesser know Douglas public beach. The owners are very hands off, too hands off in my opinion. They give you a code to get into the rooms no person or office to check you in or ask questions. They are responsive if you call or text them though. they don't service your rooms until you leave which would be nice to know (the room is stocked for our 3 day stay). They defiantly need to have some sort of ownership and staff presence in my opinion. It would have been nice to be able to speak to some one about the dog in the room next to us left unattended and barking for 3 straight days. I did give this place 4 stars although it's also compared to other properties in the area. It could easily be a 3 star otherwise. Anyway it's a good find in the saugatuck/Douglas area and will likely come back again for another stay.

    Our family rented the Douglas Boathouse for Thanksgiving this year and had a wonderful time. We…read morerented both the boathouse and the keeper's house and had plenty of room for our big celebration. We played games, took advantage of the fire pit and outdoor space, had tons of room for the whole family to eat, sleep and shower! Joanie was fantastic. She was very prompt in her responses to my questions leading up to the stay and was very helpful throughout the process. The house was clean, well decorated, very charming and accommodated all of our needs, including a lot of cooking. I would absolutely recommend Joanie and the boathouse to anyone considering a rental in this area.

    Great experience from start to finish. The owners were very easy to work with and very responsive…read moreto questions that I had. Overall, the house has been updated, is impeccably maintained and has all of the amenities you would expect to accommodate a big group for the weekend. The outdoor area is also amazing and offers a fire pit and plenty of seating to chill and enjoy the night. The house is also located in a great spot on the West Side of Michigan that is close to restaurants, shops and the lake. There is a reason this was our second time staying at this place and won't be the last. If you are looking for a getaway that is convenient to get to from Chicago, Detroit and etc., this spot is the perfect location for you.
