Amazing Estate Like Getaway

I convinced our group of 17 to leave the outer banks behind this year and try a summer vacation in Michigan. This house and town was PERFECT. Marta was amazing to work with and provided anything we needed in very fast order. The main house is charming with a top notch kitchen and plenty of space to move around. The two cottages are adorable and offer some privacy with such a large group. The courtyard, fire pits , pool, rooftop of the pool house all are just splendid. So much to do in the area nearby, big part of our group even took the train to Chicago for the day. Can’t say enough about how perfect this place is and Marta the host. We hope to come back.

Amazing property for a family get together. Everything one could want or need for a beach vacation. Location was wonderful to watch sunsets nightly and enjoy the area. Even the details were perfect such as linens, bath supplies. The host was so responsive and helpful. We are now trying to figure out when to return:)

Amazing family trip

This house worked perfectly for our family vacation. We had 4 families ages from 2-70 and everyone had an amazing time. With the main house and 2 guest cottages there was privacy and room to spread out. The whole yard being fenced in was great with the kids and the fact that the pool was fenced inside that fence was perfect. The pool was warm and a great depth. We loved walking into town for ice cream, to look at the boats, get ice cream and do a little shopping. One of the best parts was being able to walk across the street to such a beautifully sandy (not too busy) beach and watch a beautiful sunset every night! Communication was great leading up to the trip and while we were there. We would all love to stay here again!

Grandparents Anniversary

Fantastic! A family celebration of our parents' 60th Anniversary: This location, in a beautiful setting, was perfect for my parents, their four children and their children - seventeen of us. Gorgeous sunsets seen from the front window, deck or brief walk to the shore. The accomodations were wonderful - King bed suites for seven couples or singles, and a bunk room for the youngest kids. Modern remodeled kitchen with all the accessories that one could need. The complex of small cottages provided mutliple spaces for the adults, teens and kids to be entertained either in the pool, the rooftop patio, or game rooms. Space for all and spaces to be alone. The main floor bedroom and minimal porch steps were ideal for my dad, who walked to the shoreline each day.

Wonderful family vacation in South Haven

We had a large, four generation, family reunion from around the country. There were 13 adults and 5 children under the age of 8. The children were all thrilled with the toys and space to run around, including the swimming pool, game room by the pool, the area around the compound, and the beach. It could not have been a better setting for the young ones. The adults were equally thrilled with the location and the property! We had three separate buildings so we could plan who would stay in the main house and who needed senate living space. Marta was extremely responsive and helpful. She even brought extra toys for the children when she saw how many there were! All-in-all and excellent time with a great host! Thank you Marta!

Beautiful Place for a Big Family

We were very happy with this wonderful place to stay. Walked to town for breakfast. Close to the wedding venue. The children of course loved the pool. Nice view from the porch to see Lake Michigan. The out of state guests were very impressed and happy with the accommodations. I would love to rent even one of the cabins if a chance presents its self again. I love the information about the many unique artworks and pieces in and around the place. Marta is a great host and gave us several choices of places that we could have the rehearsal dinner in town. Plus a nice gift basket waiting as well.

Wonderful home with all the amenities you could need

We had a fantastic experience renting this property! We rented the home over the thanksgiving holiday, as we did not feel comfortable doing our usual traditions due to the pandemic. Marta was super attentive and provided us with all the information we needed before, during and even after our stay. Everyone had nothing but nice things to say about the home and property. So many thoughtful touches in the house, I especially appreciated the complimentary makeup remover wipes in the bathroom as I had forgotten to bring my own. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone who is looking for a larger space while still wanting the option to have privacy as well.

Marta and her accommodations provided for an absolutely wonderful family reunion and a respite from the frustrations of Covid. The property is outstanding, and there were ample spaces for gathering and for the occasional quiet time. Absolutely everything is provided, and we took advantage of it all: swimming pool, ping pong, pool table, bikes, and beach chairs. We are already looking forward to our return in 2022.

Fabulous family vacation gem !

During our stay members of our group uttered every possible superlative regarding Marta’s rental properties. And even that doesn’t seem enough. Her responsiveness and attention to detail was far and above what we’ve experienced with other rentals, from the quality of the paper products, bath towels, beach towels, soaps, kitchen China, etc. So many charming whimsical touches, from wall decor to welcome basket, indoor and outdoor furnishings, even a bear sink carved from a tree with foot pedal in the pool house. Beautiful pool, several decks with gas grills and fire pits, beach toys, bikes, everything a large family like ours (ages 1yr to 70yrs) could ever use. Lake Michigan across the street, a charming town 3 blocks away…. But we rarely felt the need to leave her property. We can’t wait to return next year !

Absolute perfection

Absolute perfection. What sets this rental apart from any other is that it is like renting a home from your super cool aunt who is off jet-setting the world, but will let you borrow her fabulous lake house whenever you want because you are family. This is NOT one of those gross ikea furnished cash cows that is meant to be factory rented and is purely transactional. There is SO much love and detail in this home. It is beautifully furnished and each room tells a story. But it is really the fact that it feels like a HOME that makes it special. It checked every single box for us and we will now meet back here as a family every year, because we have at last found perfection.

Great place for a reunion

We had 7 different branches of our family tree staying on this property for the week. We had so much fun and used every available gathering space. It was very comfortable and managed not to make it feel crowded at all. Everyone had their own private space to retreat to if they needed a break from the action. We all were able to get plenty of exercise walking to the different places to eat or shop, biking all over the city, and playing at the beach. Being able to walk right across the street to watch the sunset over Lake Michigan was a nightly activity. Just loved it.

Everything a Family and Friends would Want!

We had a fabulous time here. It was a perfect setting for our weekend. The location is perfect - the park across the street gave us a place to play - the beach is just a short walk - the views of the sunset are great and having a separate cottage for our kids with a 2 year old and an infant was perfect. Having multiple decks and plenty of living and kitchen space allowed for people to group in different locations for games and conversation. Having 3 grills and 3 kitchens was great for dinner prep. I got compliments from everyone for finding this place - “this was perfect.” That is thanks to Marta for providing such a wonderful and homey place. They have provided everything! The 7 king size beds and multiple bathrooms was a huge hit - everyone was comfortable and pleasantly surprised by that. This place is a rare gem and we have already discussed coming back. Great Ice Cream a block away and the downtown area a nice walk or bike ride away (bikes provided!) gives something for everyone! The Meijer store is only minutes away! We loved this place!

Why they chose this property

I drove by this property and saw this gem with beautiful Lake Michigan views and access and decided to give it a new life.
Newly remodeled so every bedroom has attached bathroom, privacy and family fun complex. Added pool and pool house complex and patios and fenced it all in 2020-2021.

What makes this property unique

It is 2 lots connecting N. Shore Drive and Park Ave and has beautiful view across Packard Park of lake and beach. Easy access with no steps. Easy Stroll to downtown for dining,entertainment and shopping.
This house has 12" plaster walls, high ceilings, hardwood floors and now a wall of windows facing the Lake
