A Fight Squasher - The house is magical this way!
Dedicated Owners who truly care about making this your best vacation ever!
Finding a vacation rental is stressful! Finding the right house for a once-a-year trip is a lot of work and I’m here to help you decide if our house if right for you or not. You’re happiness makes us happy so we’ll be 100% honest with all questions asked. I want to share the intangible aspects that you can't see in a photo but can make your vacation that much sweeter.
WHY TCH - Third Coast Hideaway?
It solves so many common big group/family vacation fun busters. As much as we all love going on vacation and love the ones we're with - big group vacations can turn south real quick. After taking many myself, the key is to provide everyone their own space, to explore the area as they want, yet come all together for things like a meal or a group sailing excursion. Below are just some of the reasons why we knew it was the one & why you'll be the rock star of the group for booking TCH!
A FIGHT SQUASHER! The house is magical this way. Big families/groups of all ages can do what they individually want, whether it’s by foot, bike, Interurban, water taxi, canoe or kayak. No need for a car. It’s normal and very healthy to venture out separately (individually or by family) and then all come back together for dinner. Plus, there's a lot more to talk about! #TCHPriceless

NEWER CONSTRUCTION: Built in 2015, safe & secure, new everything.
Ultra Clean: We know neat and clean!
Great Night's Sleep: The house is furnished with new furniture and plush, comfy mattresses, awesome sheets & pillows. Ensuring a great night's sleep is one of our top priorities!
Main Floor Master Bedroom: Perfect for people who can’t use the stairs, paid the tab or who pulled the longest straw. :)
NO WAITING: 4 bathrooms/3 Showers.
QUIET TIME: No one wants to be together 24/7! Multiple areas to escape for quiet time.
TESLA: Free use of our TESLA 80 Amp electric car charger located in the garage.
CANOE/2 KAYAKS/4 BIKES/TOYS: Lots of toys to use free of charge.
BEACH GEAR: Beach chairs, rolling hard cooler, soft cooler, 9' sunbrella.
DRIVEWAY PARKING: Can park around 4-5 cars on driveway depending on size.
SCREENED IN PORCH: A favorite place in the house that everyone loves with a long 10’ Restoration Hardware table (seats 10) and 2 separate lounging areas, a dream spot for summer evening dinners and peaceful morning breakfasts.
FENCED IN YARD: You get to RELAX and sip your coffee/wine in the screened in porch while the young children can explore the lockable fenced in yard area. (This area is just a portion of the property next to the screened in porch.) This feature alone is worth choosing TCH! You can be busy in the kitchen and your kids can be running around in the backyard without having to be worried! Your kids will be ecstatic at their newfound freedom and you can enjoy that cup of coffee or actually close your eyes to soak in the sun without a care in the world. #TCHPriceless
LAUNDRY: There is a washer/dryer located in main level for your use. There is also a laundromat w/in walking distance and will pick up and deliver.
BABY/KID FRIENDLY: We have you covered. Lockable, fenced-in-yard, 3 installed retractable baby gates, high-chair, highly rated Babyletto Mini-Crib w/thick mattress, sheets, pad and crib bumper, toddler bed guards, kid cups/bowls/utensils and safety items.
NO CAR NEEDED!
Dream Location: Explore on Foot: 5 Star Location!!! One can grab the car to go golfing and everyone else isn’t left stranded! You can walk, bike, canoe, kayak or Interurban everywhere.
Dream Location: Explore on Water: Catch the Water Taxi down the block or by kayak or canoe (ours or rented) to enjoy the natural area or even go to lunch.
Dream Location: Explore By Interurban Shuttle: An on demand, year-round, really fun door to door public bus service for a $1 a ride! No DWI’s or parking headaches. Perfect for your independent teen too!
Dream Location: Walk 1 song: to Coffee Shop/Bakery, Grocery Store, Pizza by the slice (Teen-Pleaser), Bowling, famous restaurants like Everyday People Café, Respite Coffee, Back Alley Pizza, Farmhouse Deli, etc. Bars with Live Entertainment, Salon and Spa, Yoga Mimosa, New Library in 2020, Post Office, Parks, Bayou Park’s Dock to catch a water taxi (fun!), rent a canoe, kayak and more.

You can see and make payments, detailed lists on what is currently in the house like kitchen items and beach gear, etc, local suggestions including fun itineraries, articles on how to make your vacation the best. etc. Just one of the many extra special touches that we do for you. We even encourage you to fill out our custom, private, questionnaire to help us make your stay even better.
Who TCH is for: This house is ideal for a group of nice people, who understand that this is OUR OWN dream vacation home and will take care of it like it is your own and the high quality place that it is. We will do everything to make the place as enjoyable for your vacation as possible and ask that you take care of it in return. We have neighbors that we care about and live next to long after you've gone home. So, we want only renters that actually think it's a bonus that the house has a no-loud-noise curfew from 9 pm to 9 am. For our happiness and yours, we need to make that very clear that we do not tolerate loud groups.
All Nice People Welcome: We do not discriminate based on race, sexual orientation, gender, religion, disability, national origin or any other reason people have found to discriminate. All are welcome in our home!! We believe in equality for everyone. Our home is a place where all should feel safe and be able to enjoy the beauty of Michigan.
Who TCH isn't for:
- Groups that are all under the age of 30. Spring Break, Sorority, etc.
- On a sole mission to (sing this) .... P-A-R-T-Y!
- Hates the idea of quiet hours.
- Disrespectful people.
- Want to bring their pets.
Become RaViNG TCH (Third Coast Hideaway) Fans! We want you to be so ecstatic with your experience with us, that you turn into raving TCH Fans who will come back year after year! It is our goal to have a group of TCH fans who become our friends. (See our website for our About Us Page and our TCH Promise to our renters.)

Madison and Frank’s TCH was perfect. Way more than our family even needed! They thought of everything. Really. It was a treat to stay. Next time we want to bring a whole big group to take advantage of all the space and fun stuff!

Perfect location
This house in Douglas was the perfect amount of indoor and outdoor space to let our extended family hang out, but also get some private time. The location splits the difference between downtown Saugatuck and Oval Beach, so we could do practically any activity without going more than 10 minutes from the house!

A cozy, very clean home filled with extras!
The entry was very easy and the home was fully prepared for us. We enjoyed the games we found available for family fun. The location was great for a quick walk to the little city for shopping and dining. Everyone enjoyed their choice of one of the bedrooms. The home was completely filled with anything we could have needed. The cozy fireplace came on with a flick of a switch!! We can't wait to visit again in the summer!

Loved this home!
This home is absolutely beautiful and perfectly located. We enjoyed every loving detail in the beautiful surroundings and took morning walks to the downtown area, the river, Lake Michigan and various coffee shops. Our group loves to cook and eat and the house could not have been better equipped. Great hospitality. Madison was always available by phone to answer questions. Loved it!

Relaxing, quiet, Fun getaway!!!!
The property was absolutely beautiful and fit our family of 9 perfectly! The basement was fun for the kids to hang out and play games in. We loved the large table on the enclosed back patio for nights we cooked dinner and played card games. A very short walk to downtown Douglas where we ate at The Wild Dog, so delicious, and visited the small park with the kids a few times. A short drive or bike ride to Oval Beach and downtown Saugatuck for a lot of shopping and great restaurants. We ate at the Butler which was great and very family friendly. Loved having access to the Kayaks and Canoe as well! Madison and Frank were so welcoming into their home and very available to answer any questions we had. Would definitely visit again!! The only thing was the house did get very warm on the top floor on the hot days. A few family members moved to the basement to sleep, so having the extra space was nice!

This house was extremely comfortable for our family of 8. The location made it easy to explore the area. And the house has the best equipped kitchen I have ever seen in a rental house. Thanks to the owners for taking so much pride in this house.

Five Star Family Gathering
We chose Third Coast Hideaway to celebrate our 2020 missed Christmas, with family from Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, and Boston. This gorgeous, luxurious house was perfect from the beginning! A welcome basket awaited us with wonderful gifts from the Saugatuck/Douglas area. This state of the art home is immaculate and everything you could ever need is there from plush towels and sumptuous beds to a gourmet kitchen. The screened in porch was our family hub and really gave us a getaway feel. Our host Madison was attentive to all of our needs and made sure any information from things to do, to great eateries was at our fingertips. We shared memorable meals, family sing-a-longs and lots of laughs together. This home made our trip!! Definitely a five star review!

TCH... Delightful Days in Douglas
TCH is perfection! The home is gorgeous, pristine, and stocked with everything one might need to feel truly at home. Madison and Frank are incredible! From the moment we began thinking about staying at TCH, they were welcoming, accomodating and helpful. No stones were left unturned in making sure we had whatever we needed, and the moment we pulled up we felt relieved and relaxed. Douglas and Saugatuck are great towns with so much to do, and it was so nice to live in the heart of it all, in a beautiful home that has so much heart. TCH was such a welcome respite from the monotony of being cooped up during this crazy time. We cannot wait to return!
