The Neighborhood:
Welcome to the charming town of Saugatuck!

The Birds Nest is located right in Downtown Saugatuck. Exit out of the back sliding doors and walk the grass to the right, you'll find a stairway that is a convenient shortcut to street level right in town. Enjoy strolling Butler Street and hitting all the restaurants and shops this quaint town has to offer. From Saugatuck's famous art galleries to locally roasted coffee, jam and jelly shops. There is no shortage of fabulous places to ignite the senses. Saugatuck allows open container in the "social district" off Butler and Water Streets. Enjoy a beverage from one of the local watering holes and feel free to bring it with you as you walk the riverfront.

Get outside and enjoy the nature that the area has to offer! If you're looking for a little pep step, there is a plethora of wooded foot and bike trails that lead to the beach where you can find gorgeous sunsets. Bring your own bicycles or rent one nearby for the week for easy access into town or just a 20 minute bike ride to The Saugatuck Dunes State Park. Here you can hike straight through to the most idyllic beach. Take on the climb of the infamous Mount Baldhead and head down the other side on a dune that takes you straight to Oval Beach. The list of activities goes on and on.

You'll find a more detailed list of tried and true local recommendations upon booking.

Getting Around:
The Birds Nest is within a 5 minute walk of the charming Downtown Saugatuck! The Saugatuck Chain Ferry, which takes you across the Kalamazoo River and drops you at the foot of some wonderful hiking trails and Mt. Baldy, is about a 15 minute walk. Fares are $2/person each way.

The Interurban is a on call public transportation service that services Saugatuck/Douglas/Fennville. Simply call the number and request a pickup and drop off location. $1 fares each way!

Overall, this was a great rental for our group. There is a new management company, and they seem to be working quickly to make improvements and were very receptive to suggestions.

Nice location
This property has a nice location to downtown, only a short walk. There were a couple of minor things that need to be addressed by the property management company, but overall, a 5 Star rating.

Perfect Location and Comfortable
My sisters and I enjoyed the Condo very much, a great location for walkability and was one of the best well stocked homes we have ever stayed in, ideal for cooking a meal and having everything you would ever need (including spices)!! Very comfortable beds even the pullout chairs to beds were comfy! Would definitely book again if we find ourselves back in Saugatuck area.

Beautiful Surroundings, Serene Escape
This property is located in such a beautiful neighborhood. The townhome itself has great light from all the windows with pleasant views of the neighborhood, flowers and trees. It was comfortably furnished and felt updated and new. We were very happy with our choice!

Very nice place!
Everything was perfect. Very nicely equipped probably the best I've seen. I had to say one negative remark and it was not even a big deal... the 50 stairs or the hill walk to town was our only issue.

Great Condo
Everything is exactly as pictured! This is a condo that is easily walkable to downtown (helpful when parking is challenging). The back patio is relaxing with a glimpse of the water. Their guidebook is helpful if you’ve never visited the area. We did have one maintenance issue, but we’re able to quickly get help and feedback from the managing company.

Great Location
Great stay, condo as described and pictured. Very well appointed. However as previous review indicated there is something amiss with the master bed. Box spring or headboard is so loud and creaky it was uncomfortable to make the slightest move without waking other person.

Excellent Unit in great location
We greatly enjoyed our stay at this location. Perfect walking distance to all the shops and restaurants in downtown Saugatuck. The unit was immaculate! Beds were comfortable and pull out sofas are perfect for single adults or little ones if needed. The pool is just outside your door and meticulously maintained. We had 4 adults and 1 child and had plenty of space. The only minor downside is there’s only 1 shower for guests to share but we managed just fine - a half bath downstairs really helps. We have stayed I. The Saugatuck and Holland areas several times and would definitely stay at this location again.

a few things
Beautiful and comfortable furniture and artwork. Our main concerns were: Nowhere to store food in kitchen; shower floor extremely slippery; very poor lighting in master bath; couch in front of the master closet; and bottom step very difficult to see when coming downstairs (a rug would help there). We had a great stay. These are really just comments for the owners to know.

Great location but some cleanliness issues
Hello! We loved the location of the condo. The pool was also great. The condo itself was perfect size. Some cons: -TV was hit or miss if it would work -Toaster was not working properly -Seemed as though the whole condo could use a deep clean. Floors seemed very dirty- socks were black from walking around. Lots of spider webs. Seems as though there was an ant infestation in the kitchen. Couch also seemed like it could use a good cleaning or be replaced all together. -Outdoor patio was not swept or table wiped down. All in all, we had a great time. The walkability of the condo to town is amazing. The pool also seemed very clean and was never busy. I just wanted to point out some of the cleanliness issues with the condo. Thank you! Kaitlin

I totally enjoyed my stay at the Bird's nest condo! It was clean, well supplied and such a great location. It was a very comfy place and hopefully I'll stay again next year!

Great Location with Pool
Location is on a hill but pretty much in town so can walk to everything. We were there for the 4th of July and parade goes right by the house which was nice. Big backyard as well. House itself could use some upgrades to furniture, but everything worked fine (grill, ac, dishwasher, washer/dryer), plenty of towels, trash bags, dish washer pods, etc. so had everything we needed. Pool was heated which was nice as well.
