Great Getaway
Took my husband here for his birthday and some much needed R&R. We sat or laid around, which was the objective. Felt rejuvenated when we left. Will definitely stay again!

Weekend Getaway
Birdie's place was just as advertised. Very clean, easy to find and access, and right on the water within short walking distance to some great restaurants and bars. Communication was quick and easy, overall we had a great time and are looking to come back in the future.

Wonderful Location for a Relaxing Week
We booked the Paddlewheel location to be close to downtown Saugatuck, and it was more than we hoped for. The check in process was so easy because the manager contacted us via email and text days before our visit with detailed instructions. The location was so quiet and peaceful, but close enough to all the shops and restaurants to walk. The checkout was just as easy as check in. We have already discussed staying here again in the future!

Perfect escape!!
This was a last minute trip. We were supposed to go to Florida, but with Hurricane Helene in the forecast we decided to head north instead. Saugatuck and the Star Studio at Paddlewheel Properties was the perfect choice! The apartment was beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. It had everything we needed for our stay. It was located within easy walking distance to all restaurants and shopping. And, of course, the Star of Saugatuck is right next door. We loved sitting at the table and watching the boats move up and down the river. It's an easy drive to beautiful Oval Beach, wineries, orchards and picturesque lighthouses in neighboring towns.
Great view of the river and riverbank woods, boats. Loved the unit itself - economical in size but did not feel cramped. Wish there was bar soap vs one tube of body wash for 2 adults for 2 nights, but maybe that was on oversight. Overall a lovely stay.

Sisters Do Saugatuck
My sister and I took full advantage and made the most of our one night stay. We thoroughly enjoyed time spent in our beautiful, spotless, updated, unit with a great view of the Kalamazoo River as well as time spent out and about. We did some light shopping, had lunch with friends, spent a couple hours at Oval Beach, experienced an incredible sunset aboard the Star of Saugatuck.

Perfect spot for all the action
This place was beautiful, clean and accessible! It is connected to the boat tour, which we didn’t know anything about when we came a couple of years ago. It is walking distance to the all the area has to offer but set away enough for when we were ready for quiet. The view out the window was great and we also didn’t have to be concerned with parking. Everything was perfect!
