The property was pristine, exactly as pictured and described. It was well equipped in the kitchen and the bathroom stocked with towels. Location was easily walkable to the cute downtown of Douglas, where there are nice shops, restaurants, and cafes. Also easily drivable to Saugatuck. Would definitely stay here again!

4/10 Poor

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Listing accuracy
NOTE: THE PROPERTY HAS 1 LESS BATHROOM AND 1 LESS BEDROOM THAN THE POSTED LISTING AT TIME OF MY BOOKING AND THAT'S WHAT DRIVES MOST OF MY RATING. I was specifically looking for a property with 2 bathrooms because I was booking for a friend's trip where I wanted us to have our own bed and bath to retreat to in the evenings. The private hot tub and onsite parking were a nice touch and comparative to amenities I could find at hotels. The place is bright, modern, and clean, but I realized after checking in that there is a whole extra bed and bath from the listing that wasn't a part of the property. I probably should have reached out to the property manager at that point, but their placard of guest instructions only mentioned reaching out if there was damage to the property. So between that and booking through Expedia, I wasn't sure and by the time I thought I was, the 2 hour window was up anyway. The property also has a bike shed with a pair of cruiser bikes to borrow and use around the town. They were fine (albeit well-worn), but there were some conflicting instructions on if there should be a lock on the door or not. Oh, and their 1000 pc puzzle is only 998! Jk, but can only recommend to solo travelers or pairs cool with 1 bathroom and less bedrooms than they planned for.

Sharleen

Great property, very clean and well appointed. The deck and back yard are very nicely furnished with pretty landscaping. The entry to the cottage was a bit complicated and it should say in the directions that the entry is the back door. Overall it is a great cottage and we would like to return.

Great property, but needs better description

Excellent property, well maintained and in a great location. The online description should say the 3rd bedroom and second bathroom are ABOVE the DETACHED garage. This could really mess up a family with small kids. Also detailed instructions for the heat in the 3rd bedroom should be included.

Super Stay at the fabulous Sharlene

Our family loved staying at The Sharlene! It was the cutest upscale cottage in the quaintest neighborhood. The check in could not have been easier. We loved Douglas and Saugatuck! It was in a perfect location close to everything. The house had a beautifully landscaped and fenced in yard with hot tub and private deck. There was a finished extra bedroom and bathroom over the garage. The inside was very nicely decorated and very clean. The kitchen was well stocked and had quality appliances. The bathrooms had more than enough plush towels. It was perfect and we will definitely be staying there again. It's a very lovely home.
