The positives: We loved our stay in Douglas, MI. It was our first time in the area. The location of this rental was perfect. It is walkable to downtown Douglas and the water. Bikes are available to ride to town or Lake Michigan. The house had been nicely updated. There was wood available for the firepit and a hottub. We loved the quaint town of Douglas and that it is a lot quieter than Saugatuck. Every evening after dinner, we would walk around the neighborhood. The two-bedroom and two-bathroom house was perfect for four adults (myself, my spouse, and my parents). The kitchen had plenty of silverware and dishes for eating, and a great dishwasher.
The negatives: The master bed sheet did not fit the mattress and kept popping off every night. There were no screens in the main area of the house, so when we wanted to open windows, I was afraid of bugs. I called the rental property to inquire and never heard back. The kitchen has a very limited supply of pots, pans, etc. for cooking. (On a positive note, there are lots of great places to eat out) Overall, it was clean enough—not "hotel" clean, but clean enough.
With all that being said, we would definitely stay in this rental again. Now we know to bring a few pans for cooking when we do not feel like eating out and a set of king sheets.
Thank you for a lovely stay in Douglas, MI :)
