Quiet Great Location Very Walkable
Everything was as described. Lovely, tree-lined shady neighborhood to walk through and see all the lovely, well-kept homes and gardens. I do wish there had been a way to directly access the front porch as that was THE shady, people-watching, outdoor spot we wanted to sit at to enjoy our morning coffee and take-out lunches. Because the front door is locked, you have to walk out the garage and around the house to sit at the front porch. The backyard is visually a little barren and the picnic table was too sunny to eat at for most of the day with no shade. We did not use the yard at all. Owner was kind to text me to let us know that we could check in an hour earlier. This was greatly appreciated. Yes, I would stay here again if we return to South Haven!

This house is in a great location just a few blocks to the beach and a few blocks to downtown. The sunroom was a great place to hangout. We loved our stay and we have already booked our next trip!

Great Location!
Our family enjoyed a great week at the Best Coast Cottage! The location was great - an easy walk to the beach or into town. The owners were communicative and a pleasure to work with. Although the house is older it is charming and comfortable and we would absolutely stay here again.

I booked this property for a vacation with friends and it was amazing! Ben is very quick at responding & is very helpful and understanding. The house is only a 4 minute walk to the beach and just a little longer to all of the restaurants and shops. Highly recommend this house!!

Very convenient location, and walking distance to downtown with lots to do.
Interior doors (bathrooms and bedrooms) need attention, they stick and are hard to open and close.

Everything's on One Level
It was a great location for us (old) girls to gather. Most of us are members of the American Legion which was just one block up and is an awesome place to watch the sunset. We liked being on one level. The kitchen was small and needed more serving/mixing bowls as gourmet food is always something we look forward to cooking. The ice maker was not working, so we had to supply our own ice. Our favorite room we called "The Fish Bowl" which was an open room with many windows, a huge table with chairs where we gathered every morning and night. Curtains or shades would have given us some privacy, it is a very busy street corner for foot and car/truck traffic., plus there are two houses under construction and they start early! .We made due with one shower thanks to a large water heater. We didn't use the TV. The firepit and the grill are located in the far corner of the fenced in back yard, so we didn't use them either. Ben was super helpful and communicated with us by text. We had a nice place to stay for our annual getaway.

Wonderful Location
I would give the location of this property 10 stars if I could. It’s a 5-minute walk to South Beach (and that’s with 4 young kids in tow). Very clean and met our needs perfectly. Loved having that second half-bath/laundry room. Ben and Jen were great hosts. My only regret is that our week in August 2022 is already booked so we can’t go back to the Best Coast Cottage!

Great location and cottage
We just got back from a week stay and everything was perfect! The house was clean and tiny upon arrival. You can walk one direction to the beach and the other downtown. Really can’t beat the location! They had a wagon we could use to pull beach stuff down to the beach as well. Highly recommend!!!

About the host

Hosted by Ben Gowell

Host profile image
Husband and father of two great kids! I am a professional musician and producer. I grew up in Michigan, going to South Haven every Summer with my family. So many great memories made here. I think this great town and it's beaches make up one of the best 'hidden gem' locations in the country!

Why they chose this property

The location is ideal! You can easily walk to the beach, the harborwalk, or downtown in less than 5 minutes any direction. The house is a craftsman style on a corner lot, all recently updated. Makes it easy to relax in a very clean, modern home that still has a lot of charm without worrying for a second about any 'issues' the place may have. For a vacation spot, it's tough to beat!
