Lovely stay

This rental was spacious, clean, and had many windows that let in natural light. The bedroom had plenty of closet space and dresser storage. The king size bed was comfortable. It was hot in Saugatuck during our stay but the ceiling fans and AC kept us cool. We found the walk to downtown to be easy and appreciated having off street parking-as finding street parking can be difficult.You do have to walk through the bathroom to get to the bedroom. For two people this was not a problem. It was a little trickier when our daughter and her husband spent a night. They reported the sofa bed to be comfortable with the extra mattress topper provided. I plan to return to next summer as we had a lovely stay in Saugatuck.

Beyond happy

Our stay at the Blue Heron far exceeded our expectations! We found it to be cleaner, more organized, better supplied and maintained than we have ever vacationed. The owners attention to detail did not go unnoticed as my husband and I enjoyed this cute, quiet condo. Saugatuck provided lots of fun, good food, and shopping. Loved it!

Close to town

The apartment was very clean and tidy when we arrived. We loved how close the location was to the center of town. An easy walk, so we didn't have to worry about parking during a busy holiday weekend. Would highly recommend this listing.

Great for 2 people but not for 4

Very clean property and proximity to downtown is convenient. Impressed with all the amenities that are available and did play one of the games. The pull-out couch mattress is VERY uncomfortable and maybe a form egg-crate topper would help or bring your own if you have 4 people staying. For the price point I would have expected more in that department.

Great Property and Location

Great location. You can walk downtown to area restaurants and shops. The place is very clean and has a lot of space. I would stay there again. The only nuance is the layout. You have to walk through the bathroom to the bedroom. If someone is using the bathroom, they have to tell the person in the bedroom not to go into the bathroom since that door only locks from the bedroom.

Great Location and Accommodations

We stayed in this apartment during the labor day weekend. We couldn't have asked for better weather or accommodations. The king sized bed was comfortable and my wife took advantage of the jetted tub. The large kitchen had a breakfast bar that could easily seat 8 adults. The main shopping district/shoreline was a five minute walk. Across and a little ways down the street is The Southerner restaurant/bar: dining right on the water, good food and a whiskey menu second to none. This place is a winner!
