The BeachWay is situated between downtown Saugatuck and Lake Michigan, overlooking the Saugatuck Harbor. Just footsteps away is the only hand-cranked chain ferry in the U.S. Take a ride across the Saugatuck Harbor and spend a day shopping in Saugatuck's charming downtown shops and unique art galleries.
Or if you desire some downtime relax on our expansive tiered sundecks that surround the resort's pool. Walk up to Mount Baldhead, Saugatuck's largest sand dune; it's a workout with 282 steps to climb! You'll be greatly rewarded for your effort as you experience the most picturesque views you've ever seen of quaint downtown Saugatuck and the sparkling waters of Lake Michigan.

Clean rooms, large bath, close to pool, chain ferry. Parking is never easy in Saugatuck, any weekend.
Staff-great. Morning continental breakfast could go up a notch, but you'll survive.
My only complaint-SMOKERS. I inconsiderate smokers are outside by the pool, you can't have your windows open for fresh air because of the nasty cigarette smoke. Ash trays on every table on deck. It's like this folks, SMOKERS DON'T CARE IF YOU HAVE TO SMELL THEIR PUTRID CIGARETTES, JUST DON'T CARE!
Smoking should be band on the Beach Way property. If people want to smoke, go sit in your car.

All I could ask for in a weekend getaway! Room was spotless and comfortable. Didn't get to use the pool but the deck and water were clean. No "noisy neighbors" during our stay. My only complaint is that the provided wifi password didn't work, but I didn't seek any assistance from staff so that one's on me.

What a great place to stay! We utilized their one & only suite, because we wanted a water view & our own private patio area. The bed was super comfy, cute small kitchen (with a full sized fridge!), large bathroom & everything was spotless clean. Also, it's conveniently located right across from the ferry that takes you into the town of Saugatuck. My only complaint was there's 3 skylights in the bedroom & it rained twice during the night when we stayed here. Having a skylight in a bedroom first of all is a bad idea, especially if you'd like to sleep past 6am &

It was a tough decision on whether to give 3 or 4 stars here, but in the end, I think 4 is probably the better choice. My wife and I came to Saugatuck for 3 nights for our honeymoon in August. We got a room by the river, across the street from the main hotel, and I think that was a wise choice. It's a bit further from the pool and seems much more private. And the view on the balcony looking out over the river was amazing. The room had a full kitchen with dishes, silverware, coffeemaker, etc. The wifi was surprisingly fast--I was getting about 30mbps. There is a smart TV in the living room

We loved our three day and two night stay here in August, 2016. The staff is really, really friendly-keep up the good work on that! The resort is very, very clean, and we loved the stuffed animals on the kid's beds. What a welcoming touch. Our room was large. The bathroom is a bit outdated, and the walls are a bit thin (loud on our second night). However, these issues were tolerable.
The location is great, with just a short drive to the beach (do not recommend walking with little kids) or downtown, and the chain ferry is just across the street (watch for changes in the hours for

The king suite on the river was beyond our expectations! The view was incredible. I could have sat on the patio all day - especially relaxing in the morning. The ferry to cross the river to downtown is right next door and runs from 9am-9pm - super convienient. Coffee and donuts in the morning was a nice touch.

My wife and son have been ending our summer in Saugatuck for the last two years. Both times we've stayed at the Beachway Resort. Their poolside rooms are just the ticket when you have an 8yr old who loves to swim. The 2nd year, the room we reserved needed a new mattress for some reason. The first night they upgraded us to one of their suites while they handled the swap. Its always clean, everything works and the proximity to downtown and Oval Beach cannot be beat. Can't wait for our third trip this year.

Grossly overpriced. Noisy. Inconvenient. My partner and I arrived late Friday night and found our suite clean, beautifully decorated spacious and inviting. Exhausted after working a full week and battling traffic out of Chicago that day, we quickly unpacked and fell into bed. At precisely 7:30 the next morning we were jolted awake by footsteps both shoed and barefoot across the hardwood floors of the unit above. The added sounds of chairs and tables being dragged across the same hardwood floors as well as the countless dropping of utensils onto the floor was more than we could tolerate and so we

Lovely place in a location that truly can't be beat. However, our room on the 1st floor did not have its own heating/cooling controls and the temperature in the room (in July) was uncomfortably cold -- to the point where we had to wear jackets whenever we were inside. The temp overnight was much colder: even with a blanket and fluffy comforter I was not able to sleep until I got up and put on warmer clothes. It really detracted from an otherwise very nice place. I recommend asking about this before you book; they have a lot of different room configurations, so perhaps some do have their own

We stayed in the Beachway Inn's "Watermelon Cottage" the weekend of June 21, 2013, at a rate of $270 per night. While the cottage was very clean on the inside, the screened porch was very dirty/bug filled, the interior furnishings were not very comfortable nor was it outfitted in a manner consistent with the price charged. There was no daily cleaning service and signage stating dishes, etc. are not included in the daily rate. Yet, strangely enough, there were only two drinking glasses, a utensil service for 4, and no dish towels. While not the fault of Beachway, the "convenient

My mom and I were looking for a reasonably priced place to stay for a night. We stumbled upon this hotel and enjoyed our stay! It is a really cute place. The front staff was courteous and helpful. The rooms are all uniquely designed and very clean. Quiet too! The breakfast was great. Good location right down the road from the beautiful Oval Beach. Right across from downtown Saugatuck shopping too. Adorable place! We will definitely be back!!
