Unsalted Vacations

“This house is beautiful. The view is incredible. We had so much fun in the sand dunes. Five stars across the board. One exception is that unsalted does not provide toilet paper. There is something very frustrating when you’re paying thousands of dollars for a beach rental and they don’t give you enough toilet paper to last the stay. Other than that great experience.”

“Loved this spot!”

“The location of this property is excellent, which is the main reason for the rating. However, beyond that, the experience fell short of expectations. The building and interior feel quite dated, with noticeable creaking throughout, and the space lacked a warm, homey feel. It felt more like a managed, transactional stay than a true Airbnb. Basic amenities were also missing (ex. sponges, paper towels), which made the stay less comfortable. Communication around check-in and especially check-out (10 AM) came across as very rigid and unaccommodating. Additionally, after booking, we were required to sign an external agreement outside of Airbnb, which was a first for me after 11 years on airbnb and felt unusual. There were also many rules sent after confirming the reservation, which felt excessive. Overall, while the location is a strong plus, the experience from start to finish didn’t feel as welcoming or flexible as expected.”

“Felt like the pictures were better than what we got. The views were spectacular, the beach access was awesome, plenty of towels and we appreciated that. But quite a few problems with the property, especially at this price point. We had a clogged sink that did not get tended to until the next day, the drain was clogged with contents of cleaning up after a diaper change so you can imagine ... The trash bins are a 1/4 mile away and did not have enough room for our bags so trash piled up in the foyer. They provide 1 paper towel roll, and no kitchen sponge, towels, or oven mitt. The basement bathroom did not have a waste basket or any additional toilet paper. Other properties I have stayed at at this price point usually have a few extras - a Bluetooth stereo, condiments, coffee filters, none of that here. We found most of the furniture to be pretty worn out and uncomfortable. The sliding doors are heavy and not stable in their grooves. Beautiful views but would not stay again.”

“Great place to stay if you have kids. Super close to a park walking distance and no traffic street. Also place has a spacious living room for kids to play inside. Only downside is that pillows are not great. Recommend bringing your own.”

“Enjoyed our stay very much. Would stay again!”

“Had a great time staying in our cabin in Saugatuck. Not too far from downtown, and in a quiet, nice neighborhood. Would recommend!”

“location was awesome! literally right in the middle of everything you want- the building is beautiful and so very clean from the hallways to the rooms they don't miss a beat. I was also extremely impressed with the kitchen glassware and utensils! All great quality- will stay here again next year!”

“Overall, the stay was really great. There was no major issues or anything like that. There are a few things that stuck out to me that made the stay not five stars entirely. The first was cookware. The pans that were in the home were fairly banged up and didn’t seem very safe to be used for cooking. The other issue was there was no full-size trashcan in the kitchen/dining area and I feel like when you have a place this large there should be a full-size trashcan for the amount of people that can fit in this home.”

“Such a wonderful last minute birthday trip! Thank you for the stay.”
