The house was spotless upon arrival and the amenities were fantastic. Little touches like the record player and the espresso machine really enhanced the experience. The location is close to both South Haven and Saugatuck/Douglas, providing access to great restaurants and shopping. It snowed while we were there and the hot tub allowed us to enjoy the outdoors comfortably. Snow plow service arrived quickly, as well. Great location, great experience!

This property was so unique and cool. A turntable to spin some great vinyl. High tech toilets. Heated floors. Multiple fire places. The screened in porch was perfect for coffee, books and games. A fire chimney crackling away while soaking in the hot tub. Views from the upper deck were stunning. Wildlife abounds. We even had a visit from a fox. Direct access to our private beach where we took in the gorgeous sunset with music and wine. The location of this home is so close to great orchards and vineyards. Modales is 10 minutes away as is Virtue Cider. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of refrigeration space.

The house itself was gorgeous. Comfortable layout with luxurious finishes. Little details like the heated toilets and magic mirrors were a treat. The shared path to the lake stairs was easy to navigate and the beach was perfect. The management company, Vacasa, was super professional and communicative. Lots of emails, texts, and an app. The only thing that wasn’t perfect was the 10 am check out which felt a little off market for a beach house. But overall A

Check in was very easy and fully detailed. The Kitchen was modern and updated. Excellent coffee makers and even expresso. You do need a special size cone filter for the drip coffee and I read it off the comments and brought my own. None in the house.the pots and pans were limited and not great shape.

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!

Beautiful beach

The house has views of Lake Michigan from the rooftop deck and one of the beds. 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.

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.

Tulip time trip.

Our family had a great stay. We all slept comfortably and we loved the heated tile and seats in the bathrooms. Such a cute home and nice place to stay. 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!

Tranquil Retreat

We stayed at this beautiful lakefront property in mid-March. 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.

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.
