Welcome to the Heart of the Art Coast!
AfterDune Delight is located in the picturesque town of Douglas. Sister town to Saugatuck, Douglas is a laid-back, yet high-class-travel destination, known for its world-renowned art galleries. Douglas is quiet enough to sit outside and hear nothing but the breeze and the birds chirping, yet vibrant enough to offer food, drinks, and entertainment that would suit a city many times its size. Locally owned businesses line the streets of downtown, and if you manage to exhaust Downtown Douglas, Downtown Saugatuck is less than five minutes away by car or easily available on foot or by bicycle.
After you’ve sampled the local food and drinks, many grown right here in this top-producing agricultural region, and shopped at our many independent boutiques, head out into Pure Michigan natural beauty at our gorgeous beaches, trails, and state parks. Nearby Oval Beach was ranked by Conde Nast Traveler as one of the top 25 best shorelines on the entire planet! Rent a watercraft or take a dip in sparkling, immaculate Lake Michigan, then climb our mountainous sand dunes to shady wooded trails.
Your safety and security are our top priority. Keyless Entry allows for a flexible check-in. You will be provided with a customized code prior to your arrival.
With the sunlight pouring through the windows, soft lake breezes drifting through the screened porch, and the quiet feeling that nowhere else needs your attention, AfterDune Delight is waiting to turn your next vacation into a tradition. Designed with light and airy interiors and subtle elevated lake-life touches throughout, the space feels calm, welcoming, and effortlessly comfortable. Mornings begin slowly here: a mug of locally roasted coffee from Uncommon Ground or hand-blended Michigan made Fraser tea in hand and the promise of a perfect day lilting on that lake breeze.
A short walk leads you to the much loved Douglas Beach Park, with its picnic area and quiet beach, you'll have every reason to stay all day to play in the waves and watch the stunning sunsets before walking back to your home away from home.
Back at the house, the fully fenced-in backyard fills with easy conversation, late lunches, and laughter carried on the breeze, with your small children and pup free to roam safely. Upstairs, partial lake views glimmer through the windows, while evenings invite everyone back together - perhaps around the wood-burning fireplace for s'mores, perhaps lingering on the porch playing a board game long after sunset, wrapped in that unmistakable feeling of summer near the lake.
The memories made here are the quiet kind that stay with you longest: sunset walks through the neighborhood, tea on the porch before bed, the scent of luxurious Malin & Goetz bath products after a day in the sun, and the simple joy of being together without rushing anywhere at all. It’s the kind of place that is filled with gentleness, restoration, and wonderful timelessness, where every day ends a little slower than it began.
AfterDune Delight is mere steps from Downtown Douglas and a short drive from Saugatuck, Fennville, many beaches, and various wineries/breweries. Don't feel like driving? No problem there! The Saugatuck Township Interurban Transit Authority offers pick-ups and drop-offs for only $1 each way to anywhere in Saugatuck Township. Simply call in the moment or ahead and reserve a time and pick-up/drop-off location and your chariot awaits!
Want to venture out into the rest of Michigan's Art Coast? Downtown South Haven and Holland are only a 20-minute drive away and offer a whole different vibe filled with other activities to explore!
