Saugatuck is where you go to "feel summer", and this place is perfect for location. Its right on Water Street and Hoffman, and absolutely everything you want to see starts just as you leave your door!
In my opinion, one can stay outside of town to save a few dollars but you'll have to drive in, go through a lot of waiting to find a parking space, not have easy bathroom access or a place to nap while awaiting the nightlife -- or -- just pay a little more for a fantastic apartment where you park once and enjoy all the town has to offer.
This is a second floor apartment (I know the layout says 1st floor . . . ) and it is just right for two people. Everything you need is there (plenty of towels for like, 12 people), and if you don't want to bother making coffee in the morning just go downstairs out the front door and within 60 seconds you can be at any one of four coffee/breakfast shops.
Everything you need to see is an easy walk. The host has excellent communication, even letting me park and lock up my expensive bike inside a gated entry (they own the entire building which has multiple units).
The apartment is very clean, well-maintained. The bed is a double and a little bouncy but we're so tired by days-end that we pretty much fell asleep immediately. Yeah, there's a little noise from the local bars that all ends at 11pm, so, big deal, right?
I make an annual trip this time of year for a major bicycle event (Holland 100) and this is now my go-to place to stay.
