However, all the appliances are in good working order and the kitchen/dining area is very spacious. Nice quiet area with trees. We enjoyed seeing deer in the yard. Walkable to Douglas Beach and a short drive to Oval Beach. ##### Monica H. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Diane B. Aug 25, 2023 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Hot Stay The house was situated in a nice wooded area - a family of deer were regularly spotted nearby. It was spacious and it was nice to see that the property could support similar number of guests for dining and leisure as well as sleep. The house itself is a bit worn looking, tired 1970's decor, with some inoperable windows & blinds and holes in the screens. BUT this all could have been overlooked if only the A/C was working. Sleeping in hot 80 degree, humid bedrooms was impossible. See note about holes on screens. We did not use the upstairs room - suffocating! Vacasa was notified shortly after checking in of the situation. We asked for fans. No fans came. They offered a discount of 10%, which I have yet to see. And on reflection, too paltry of a sum to make up for the missed sleep. Luckily it was only a 3 night stay. The weather was in the low 80's while we were there - so not during a heat wave. ##### Diane B. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Matt S. Sep 12, 2023 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Great location but terrible management I’ll start by saying the location is great! That’s about the only great experience of this place! The home is a little run down and has a few broken things inside! Shower drain was clogged with hair! Ceiling in the kitchen has what looks like water damage and mold and it’s flaking off! Checked in and the house was 80 degrees, figured maybe they just turned the air on before check in so we gave it an hour to start cooling down! Instead it went up to 82 degrees! I called Vacasa and told them the issue and they said they would get ahold of the local manager and have the air resolved! \*\* after reading the latest review it’s apparent that the AIR WASNT WORKING FOR THE PREVIOUS GUEST AND THEY NEVER FIXED IT! Called Vacasa help line numerous times throughout the evening and it was the same routine, they would say can I put you on hold while I try to reach the local manager! I’d sit on hold for 15-20 minutes and they would come back on the line and say, “we can’t reach the local manager but a ticket has been created to get the air fixed”! The home got up to 86 degrees! Half the windows wont open! Woke up the next morning and drove to the local vacas office! Knocked on the door and no one answered! There’s a number on the door you can call to reach them so I called and no answer! I proceeded to call atleast 10 times and the manager never once answered or returned my call! Called Vacasa help line again and it was the same routine! ##### Matt S. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary B.

Felt good to get back. The deck and kitchen are the great for our family . I think maybe a few new mattresses . It wasn’t as clean as I had hoped considering COVID . I cleaned both bathrooms right away , the door frames in both bathrooms had dirt on them I sprayed cleaner on them and they were clean . The floors may not have been swept , lots of sand on the floor And the couch in The family room . We were overall very happy there . The printed check out info says turn air to 60 I think that couldn’t be right . ##### Mary M.

Lots of bedrooms, big tv room, beautiful backyard and super close to the beach. Huge kitchen. Only a few things that could use some TLC- the washing machine was missing a part so a part of the machine would not stay in place. You could only do heavy loads to weigh the part down. I texted the local Vacasa person, but never got a response. There were lots of bugs in the attic room- almost like the housekeeper didn't clean thoroughly before we came. It wasn't a huge issue but my teens were a little squeamish. It's an attic space so it was not unexpected, but maybe just needed a more detailed vacuum upstairs. Otherwise, we had a fabulous time and would rent this house again! ##### Kristin S. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deborah H.

Jun 18, 2021 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location Finding properties without a lot of stairs or no stairs is pretty hard. This property met that need and offered everyone their own room. The beds were comfortable and the house is furnished nicely. The location was perfect - woody area and super close to Saugatuck. We enjoyed having hot dogs at the Rootbeer Barrel down the street. We were not able to use the outside deck due to a nasty nest of carpenter bees. They were swarming all over. It looked nice, although in need of a bit of TLC, and we got to see deer feeding in the yard. The house was pretty clean, except for the chairs in the dining room. Not sure when the last time they were given a really good cleaning. We tried sitting in the living room but no one ever buys sofa beds for their comfort so we quickly switched to the kitchen. The linens and towels were all in good shape and nice - not thin and tiny. There are two bathrooms on the main level - one is quite tiny but usable with a bathtub. I would recommend the owners install some grab bars to make it easier to get in an out of the tubs. But then I'm 65 and want to make sure I don't fall. It's not an issue for the younger crowd. The front porch steps could use a coat of paint and possible replacement of a couple of boards, but entry into the house is only three steps. It's a roomy house and the outdoor space would make it great for a group with kids. ##### cathy k.

Jun 14, 2021 #### Great place for a family stay Generations was a great place for our family to stay during a long weekend trip to Douglass/Saugatuck. It was a nice halfway point for folks from Chicago and Detroit. For 7 adults and 2 kids there was plenty of room for everyone. The best part was the large kitchen and dining area where everyone congregated. Very close to Oval Beach and downtown Saugatuck to spend the days and short half mile walk to Douglass beach to view the beautiful sunsets. The big deck with 2 patio tables, string lights, grill, and firepit all added to the wonderful experience. ##### Kyle R. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cookie B.

Kitchen is definitely the main hang out spot. Great yard too. We loved that it was walking distance to Douglas beach although the beach was closed during our stay. The listing also mentions an outdoor fire pit which was not present. And the indoor fireplace was not functional either. Also it appeared the people staying before us didn’t know the no smoking rule, there were several cigarette butts on the back deck. Aside from a few small things it was wonderful! ##### Lydia B.

It is located in a lovely little neighborhood that was a short drive to Oval Beach and town. The house is laid out a little strangely, but it worked fine for our family.

We enjoyed this cozy little spot as it was prefectly located to access all the activities of the area. The house was large enough for our group and the spacious backyard was perfect for the kids in the evenings. The grill is brand-new and worked wonderfully for our dinners in due to pressures of Covid. A few pots and pans could be refreshed but got the job done. Over-all, a great spot with plenty of room to stretch out and relax. Very clean too. ##### Tim G. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Gayle C.

Jul 11, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for families We enjoyed our stay at this home. Ideal for larger groups and families. We cooked on the grill and used the fire pit often. Good amount of space to relax. Unfortunately Douglas beach was closed but we went oval beach often. The oval beach was a short 5 min quick drive. We loved oval beach- not too crowded and water was great. Everything was within driving distance for us, including activities and the shopping. Would recommend if you coming with kids, a great house. ##### Sue B. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### david b.

It would be great to have a shoval to clear the sidewalks. ##### david b.

Our kids loved the loft area with the single beds and the adults appreciated the peaceful back porch and yard.

Jun 9, 2017 #### AWESOME HOUSE! I was pleasantly surprised at how much bigger this home is! I walked through the front door (not really knowing what to expect) and was so happy to see that all of the bedrooms were on the main floor and the upstairs had 4 beds as well! The back yard and kitchen is where we spent most of our time and we had plenty of space and felt very relaxed! Super close to the beach and town! The kitchen was STOCKED with pretty much any and all dishes you'd ever need. Plenty of silverware, cups, counter space, etc. Also, I was running late and the management company was SO easy going and were super easy to work with!! ##### Paige Martin ..

My family (5 adults, 5 children) enjoyed everything about the rental on McVea St in Douglas, MI. The house was able to handle anything the 10 of us wanted - plenty of wide open rooms inside & delightful, flat backyard and large desk outside. Rental agency was very helpful with directions and add'l information about the area. We plan on a return stay. ##### Elizabeth Mullaugh .. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [SpringHill Suites by Marriott East Lansing University Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Lansing-Hotels-SpringHill-Suites-By-Marriott-East-Lansing-University-Area.h615.Hotel-Information) > > [Super 8 by Wyndham Marysville/Port Huron Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Huron-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-MarysvillePort-Huron-Area.h856217.Hotel-Information) > > [The Highlands at Harbor Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Petoskey-Hotels-Boyne-Highlands-Resort.h13205714.Hotel-Information) > > [SpringHill Suites by Marriott Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-SpringHill-Suites-By-Marriott-Frankenmuth.h882233.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn & Suites Clarkston Pine Knob Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Comfort-Inn-Suites.h68623534.Hotel-Information) > > [Ann Arbor Marriott Ypsilanti at Eagle Crest](https://www.expedia.ca/Ann-Arbor-Hotels-Ann-Arbor-Marriott-Ypsilanti-At-Eagle-Crest.h28149.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Frankenmuth by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Frankenmuth.h6621673.Hotel-Information) > > [Treetops Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Grayling-Hotels-Treetops-Resort.h914489.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Ann Arbor West by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Ann-Arbor-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Ann-Arbor-West.h9215322.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lakeview Hotel, Shanty Creek Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Traverse-City-Hotels-The-Lakeview-Hotel.h1104351.Hotel-Information) > > [Drury Inn & Suites Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Drury-Inn-Suites-Frankenmuth.h58071.Hotel-Information) > > [Clear Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Grayling-Hotels-Clear-Lake-Resort.h10356891.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Midland by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Midland.h2462677.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Midland](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Midland.h116959.Hotel-Information) > > [Black River Retreat (Dog Friendly!)](https://www.expedia.ca/Ironwood-Hotels-Black-River-Retreat.h33500821.Hotel-Information) > > [Gull Lake View Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kalamazoo-Hotels-Gull-Lake-View-Golf-Resort.h19561568.Hotel-Information) > > [Pictured Rocks Bed And Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Marquette-Hotels-Pictured-Rocks-Bed-And-Breakfast.h10044940.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Bay City - Riverfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-Bay-City-Riverfront.h1077165.Hotel-Information) > > [Frankenmuth Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Frankenmuth-Motel.h1148366.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Winds Casino Resort – New Buffalo](https://www.expedia.ca/Benton-Harbor-Hotels-Four-Winds-Casino-Resort-New-Buffalo.h13278629.Hotel-Information) > > [Wingate by Wyndham Brighton](https://www.expedia.ca/Howell-Hotels-Wingate-By-Wyndham-Brighton.h126779.Hotel-Information) > > [Marv Herzog Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Marv-Herzog-Hotel.h13006478.Hotel-Information) > > [Crooked Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Hotels-Crooked-Lake-Resort.h31422390.Hotel-Information) > > [St. Clair Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Huron-Hotels-The-St-Clair-Inn.h36685.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Brighton by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Howell-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-And-Suites-Brighton.h32102546.Hotel-Information) > > [Double JJ Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Era-Hotels-Double-JJ-Resort.h3062219.Hotel-Information) > > [Bay Mills Resort And Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Brimley-Hotels-Bay-Mills-Resort-And-Casino.h11980098.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Frankenmuth-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-And-Suites-By-Marriott-Frankenmuth.h281052.Hotel-Information) > > [Torch Lake Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Traverse-City-Hotels-Torch-Lake-Bed-Breakfast.h11601400.Hotel-Information)
