Wonderful location close to downtown Saugatuck. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. My family had a blast playing shuffleboard!

Lay By The Bay was perfect! Easy walk to downtown where there are so many great restaurants and shops. The game room was fantastic for the 8 of us to play cards and team up on the amazing shuffleboard game! Beds and pillows so comfortable and clean. Hope to book again!!!

we had an incredible stay at Lay by the Bay. Such a uniquely stunning home with incredible water views. There were four couples and it was fantastic for each of us to have our own room and bathroom! The views of the Kalamazoo River are absolutely breathtaking from the balcomy. We had enough of an October sun that we sat out there for hours! It was our second time there as Ethan's guests, and we love being able to walk a short five- minute walk into town. Ethan was quick to answer questions via text. We hope to stay again. It was hard to say goodbye.
