Short walk into town

Loved the location… easy walk into town and to the beach. We had a wonderful time. The hosts Tom and Peggy was super helpful. All 5 of the group said we would definitely stay here again.

Perfect girls weekend

We had a wonderful girls weekend in this lovely home. The location was perfect, just a few steps away from great shops, restaurants and the beach. The home was spotless and the bedrooms were large and very comfortable. Great communication with the owner as well. Thank you for sharing your home with us, we are hoping to plan a return visit soon!

Weekend Getaway

Stayed 2 nights with 3 other couples - had a great time! When we weren't walking to downtown or the beach, we had plenty of room to relax in the home. The kitchen is a little tight to do any serious cooking, but it was perfect for light breakfasts and snacks. Would definitely consider staying again.

Second Visit

This was our second stay at this property. Exactly a year since our first stay. Everything was the same. Cannot beat the location, if your looking to hangout downtown a lot. The pet friendly nature of the property is what brought us back.

South Haven Trip

Great location, just a block from downtown, and an easy walk to the beach. Neat old house, a good deal of space, kitchen had plenty of dishes, cutlery, and cookware; and had a ping pong table in the garage. We had a couple of issues with the house crop up during the week, and the host addressed them promptly and professionally. Would recommend to anyone going to South Haven.

Safety

Concern of loose boards on porch. We tripped on a loose board. No hand rail for ourdoor porch steps. Overall we loved the location, and vintage decor. Could use a little updating.

All about location

We are regulars in SoHa, and this is the absolute most convenient property for maximum South Beach and downtown enjoyment. Extra points for being dog friendly! Overall the house is clean, and could also use some general sprucing. Nothing that is a deal breaker, we are returning next year, but it does feel like everyone needs a little TLC. We were very comfortable, plenty of space for the 5 of us and the puppy. Looking forward to next year

A Great Property in a Great Location

My friends and I rented out this property to enjoy South Haven after a long winter spent apart due to the pandemic. The property was clean and spacious, the proprietor professional, and the location perfect. All in all, we had a wonderful time and hope to return in the future!

Great Location

This property was spacious. There were some aesthetic issues (e.g. closet door handles were broken) but the important items were functional. The location was the greatest feature -- only ~1 block from the main street (Phoenix). Overall a nice stay.

Our girls weekend in South Haven was really enjoyable. Having a place within walking distance from town and all the restaurants was so wonderful. It was nice not to have to drive everywhere. The house itself offered so many rooms and multiple areas to gather as a group. The best was when we had questions the management/ owner was easy to reach and super helpful.

Perfect Location!

This is a great property. You can't beat the location, and there was a lot of room for everyone to spread out. The owner Peggy was very responsive and easy to communicate with, even gave us a heads up about something that was broken, and taken care of, before we got there. It didn't interfere with our stay or ability to enjoy the house in any way. We loved that the deck wrapped around from the side to the front - only wish it could have been a little wider - but we enjoyed breakfast out there in the mornings, and grilling hot dogs and brats in the evening. Great place to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather we had. The furniture inside the house was comfortable. Plenty of seating throughout for everyone. Plenty of bath towels, plenty of pillows and blankets for sleeping. The mattress in the master bedroom did have a permanent dip on one side, but worked ok for a single person to sleep on. Might need to get that replaced soon though. Over all, it was perfect for us, and we'd rent again, if it's available when we plan our next trip. Thank you Peggy for sharing your house with us - we had a wonderful long weekend getaway!

About the host

Hosted by Peggy Herrington

Owners are from Chicago and have enjoyed vacationing in Southwest Michigan with their family for the past 10 years.

Why they chose this property

South Haven is our favorite vacation destination in the midwest. It's the quintessential Lake Michigan beach town, ideal for families, couples, or ladies' getaway weekends.

What makes this property unique

This spacious yet cozy cottage is only a 5-minute walk to the big waves at South Beach. Don't forget your camera--you'll want to capture the sunset from the South Haven Lighthouse pier. Afterwards, take a stroll up the beachwalk along the Black River and watch the boaters pass by. Enjoy dinner at one of South Haven's many restaurants, or relax with a cookout on the cottage's deck.
