Retirement celebration

We stayed at this beautiful property in June 2024. The house was perfect for our family get together. The kids loved the bunk bed room. The house was immaculate, beautifully decorated and well stocked with kitchen supplies. Loved the front and back porches. Owners were very helpful answering any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again!!

Fabulous property!

This property is a new build and decorated so cute! They’ve really thought of everything; you really don’t need to bring anything but your suitcase. We loved the location on a quiet street and easy walks to the beach or downtown. This is our third year in South Haven and definitely the best rental. Would love to return!

Great house, perfect for our family

We were accompanied by 3 of our kids and their spouses, and 5 grandkids ages 3-6. The house had an excellent area for family gathering time and devotions, and very good sleeping arrangements. Our grandkids loved the bunk room. The kitchen was well equipped for meal preparation. We enjoyed using the bikes in the garage to ride the paved Van Buren trail only 3 blocks from the house. It was an easy walk to the beach for sunsets and fireworks and beach time. The owners were kind and responsive to our questions. We hope to return to this house when we visit South Haven again.

Wedding weekend

We were in town for my daughter’s wedding. This house was perfect for my whole family. It was very clean and spacious, it had everything we needed. We had my 2 year granddaughter and the house was very kid friendly, Highly recommend staying here. We did not not have one issue, it was a great experience!

Top Notch Stay!

The house was impeccably clean and gorgeously furnished. It was about a 6-8 block walk to the town, but only a 2-3 block walk to the lake to watch the jaw-dropping sunsets! Lots of cute sitting places on deck and front porch. Our girls' getaway weekend was amazing, thanks to this location and home!

Winter Getaway

Great property for our whole family. Plenty of space, very well equipped kitchen. Everything as pictured online. The location is a short walk to the beach and Kid's Corner and only a little further to downtown. This was probably the best equipped rental we have stayed in. The hosts are responsive and check in was easy. Everything in the house is well done and in working order. I highly recommend this property and we would definitely stay here again.

Amazing, everything-you-need and more right next to South Beach!

This is a long overdue a few for a wonderful house! This was our family’s third summer in a rowvisiting South Haven. Our group of extended family members included grandparents and sib Ings in our families with young children. I can’t say enough about this property! Not only have the owners thought of everything – and I mean everything – the home is beautiful, comfortable, modern, and has plenty of great sleeping arrangements for everyone. We particularly appreciated the big and well stocked kitchen, relaxing front porch, downstairs area for playing and napping small kids, and the awesome back deck, yard, and garage filled with extras. We hope to be back at this amazing house this coming summer. Thanks for a wonderful, relaxing week in South Haven with family!

far flung friends' get-together

My friends and I no longer live in the same place, so we wanted to pick a place to come together for a couple of days and catch up and enjoy each other's company. This place did not disappoint. It is beautifully decorated and very welcoming and had everything you needed. The photos are accurate as well as the description. We walked up the street to the beach and lighthouse, walked into town for dinners and shopping. It's a lovely neighborhood, quiet, felt very safe. All the people we encountered were very friendly. The hosts went above and beyond with all that is supplied in the house (considering it is a vacation property) including blankets to sit out on the porch with on cool evenings, little things like bandaids that you don't need until you need them. The hosts were easy to deal with and quick to respond to any questions I had. The fall is a lovely time to come to South Haven and enjoy the fall colors and quieter crowds. Will definitely be returning in the future.

Large open spaces and many quiet places

For a family gathering this location was perfect. Kitchen, dining and living area allows everyone in same space. Front porch in a quiet neighborhood extended the living area for play space with children or snuggling on comfortable furniture with coffee. The back yard allowed day time activities privately in fenced area. Garage even allowed additional enclosed gathering space. Basement bedrooms plus additional living area below gave privacy when needed. Great for a family to be without a car during stay if able to walk 8-10 miles. We got lots of steps but maybe those were from dancing at Captain Lou’s too? Great restaurants and shops within walking distance. A very friendly neighborhood with amazing amenities and equipped kitchen in house for your every need!

Above Expectations!

This is a 5 Star property. It exceeded our expectations for a wonderful cottage for 10 people—adults and young children. The cottage is super updated and clean, has 5 spacious bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, an abundance of living space for a large group—-upstairs and down, and a well-stocked kitchen of pans, kitchen utensils, etc. This property is within walking distance to everything South Haven: South Beach, downtown, and a brand new updated, awesome park for children. There is a deck and porch with plenty of room for a big family, bikes, grill, fire pit, corn whole, games, beach towels, etc. We parked four cars comfortably on the driveway and street and had a garage with beach toys, wagon, etc. The neighborhood is charming and super quiet. The owner is super attentive and punctual in answering any questions you might have. Snatch this one up before we return! It is a gem!

Wonderful!

Stayed in the home with my adult children & extended family members. We all had a wonderful week and hope to rent again next summer. The house is immaculate and beautifully decorated. While we don't have any babies or young children with us, there are some items like a gate by the stairs, toys and plastic picnic table. We enjoyed walking the few blocks to the lake and the downtown. I can't wait to rent it again next year.

Pictures do not do it justice!

Beautiful home with everything you need. The pictures really are not reflective of how nice it is. Basement level has 2 full bedrooms, bathroom, living room and kitchenette so two families have a lot of privacy Great location with walking distance to town and very close to south beach and kids corner. Perfect for families. Have a kids table and kids plates and cutlery. For the owners: loved our stay. Having a simple wagon would be very helpful. We left stuff we purchased to use with firepit to make s’mores for the next family. The app was acting up so I wasn’t able to ask questions during stay one day.
