Description
Affectionately nicknamed, “The Douglas Darling,” this classy 4 BR-2.5BA vacation home directly across from Lake Kalamazoo (and 2 miles from Lake Michigan) is a 2-block walk from downtown Douglas’s excellent art galleries, scrumptious restaurants and trendy boutiques. Spacious, modern and loaded with amenities, it features everything you need for a memorable getaway, be it a family vacation or group gathering.
The professionally designed interior emphasizes stylish, yet cozy furnishings. All-new high-end appliances & a Keurig enhance the open-concept kitchen/dining room, accompanied by gorgeous marble countertops. (Top-of-the-line laundry appliances, too). A mini-office with wraparound computer desk (and hi-speed Wi-Fi) just off the kitchen has sliding glass doors onto a Zen-style patio. The super-spacious master BR—also with patio access—includes luxury king-sized bed and fully remodeled bath with heated floor, dual vanity, modern tub and glass-and-tile shower. Chic living room has DirecTV, gas fireplace, and elegant dining room opens to way-comfy screened, slate-floored porch. Tesla charger conveniently available at the home!
All of the bedrooms feature top-quality bedding and linens, ensuring a sound sleep and sweet dreams for you and all your guests. One bedroom also has a desk with large plug-in monitor that makes an ideal spot for remote commuting in a quiet space. The Douglas Darling can sleep up to 8.

Located along what has become known as the “Art Coast of Michigan,” the oh-so-charming town of Douglas offers you not only the stunning shoreline of Lake Michigan - with a backdrop of magnificent natural beauty - but also an art-lover’s paradise, rich with culture and yes, creature comforts, great restaurants and vacation-oriented amenities galore! Whether you and your guests are seeking relaxation, adventure, a dive into the arts or amazing culinary delights, this charming town has something for everyone.
At nearby Douglas Beach, you can take a leisurely stroll along the pristine shores of Lake Michigan or simply enjoy some R-and-R beneath an umbrella while lying on a beach blanket. Or head over to neighboring Oval Beach (in Saugatuck), which was ranked “One of the Top 25 Beaches in the World” by Conde Nast Travelers magazine!
As for the arts, just a few of the most popular stops for local and national artworks are the Water Street Gallery, LaFontsee Galleries, Button Gallery, Mr. Miller's Art Emporium, LebenArt Gallery and J. Petter Galleries, which features not only a curated, wide-ranging collection of artwork, but also a theater (with performances by distinguished artists) and a wine bar and shop featuring local wines, artisan cheeses and hand-poured chocolates. By the way, Douglas has a number of stylish boutiques and antique shops, including a colorful collector’s mecca, the Antique Pavilion, where you can shop for (and discover) all sorts of treasures.
If you’re looking for some outdoor fun, check out the nearby Saugatuck Dune Rides, where you’ll not only explore the dunes, one of Michigan’s true natural treasures, but also experience a unique dose of entertainment, fun and excitement! We’d like to point out Saugatuck, which has its own rich array of culture and night life, is just 2 miles away! Back to the subject of outdoor enjoyment, at Third Coast Paddling, you can rent canoes, kayaks or paddleboards to spend some wonderful time out on the water. There are also a number of options in Douglas for those who’d like to sail, both private sailing excursions and sailboat charters. As for food and drink, the local area has got you covered, with many superb eateries, neighborhood brew pubs, brewing companies and wineries, and cozy coffee-houses.
