We had a great time. The property was fantastic. It is very close to the beach and close to shopping. Everything was as described. My family was together for a wedding. This location was comfortable and perfect for everyone to be together and relax. Loved the town of South Haven. Beaches and water was just great and all worked out very well. Highly recommend if need a larger place and want flexibility for friends and family.

Roomy home perfect for families

This house was perfect for our family to come together for the holidays. We were snowed in and enjoyed every minute! The kitchen was well equipped, and the dining table was perfect for family meals and games. The ramp allowed my elderly mother to join us, and the location was convenient ( even in a blizzard).

Nice size home for our 12 person family and !

Came for the weekend to celebrate grandfather's 70th birthday. The house was very clean and well stocked with everyday essentials. The owner was quick to respond with any questions and made our stay very welcoming. We'll definitively consider coming back!

Enjoyed our stay

A big house with lots of room to spread out. An older home with all of the character. It’s not sleek and updated, if that is what you are looking for. It is comfortable, well-supplied, and convenient to town and Meijer for the items you forgot. Our family has a wonderful vacation!

Perfect location

Perfect location to walk downtown. We usually drove to the beach because of all the chairs and beach stuff. There were bicycles to ride if you wanted to do that. The grandkids loved the play set. We enjoyed the fire pit to make fires & s’mores. The wood is provided which was awesome! The Host is easy to communicate with!

Michigan for the win!

We decided to try Michigan instead of Florida. The weather was amazing. There is so much to do close by. Only a mile walk to the beach, 15 minutes to golf, blueberry picking, winery visits and horseback riding. The house was great for our family of 9. The bikes, corn hole, firepit and blackstone grill added to our family fun. Will reccomend this property to friends.l

Amazing house and fabulous owner!

This house is beautiful in so many ways. So much space inside and out. Within minutes of everything... Downtown, beach, grocery store, etc. We came here to get married and so happy we had the space and comfort that we did here :) the owner was great and responded quickly if there was a question. Would stay here again in a heart beat! Thank you Chen!

Nice quick getaway

We booked the property for a quick weekend getaway to south haven we had 2 familys so 4 adults and 4 kids. This house was plenty big for all of us we didn’t even use one of the rooms. We also had everything needed cooking supplies towels and other items we didn’t even need to use. The house was really old but kind of cool I would recommend.

Family Gathering

The property was fine. Plenty of dishes, silverware, glasses, etc. Street was pretty busy, but we were close to everything we needed. Squeaky floors, so there was no walking upstairs undetected! However, the house is well maintained for a home built in 1900.

Wonderful family vacation!

Four generations of our family, ranging in age from 10 months to 87 years, spent a long weekend at Chen's very spacious, lovely home. We had a great time. House was well equipped and Chen was very attentive and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed When we realized we forgot the umbrella stroller at home for our 3-year-old cousin, she generously found one for us and brought it over immediately. Only drawback was that downstairs bathroom doesn't have a walk-in shower, which was difficult for the 80-plus family members. Location is convenient---walking distance to downtown shops. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely weekend

House is perfect- large bedrooms, plenty of space. Everything you would need is provided. Beautiful large dining table that the whole family could eat/ play games around. Comfortable beds. Very clean. Only negative was it is on a very busy street with no fenced in back yard. The yard was very nice with a swing set, games and a great deck. It was also quite a far walk to beach. Chen was excellent, always quick to respond.

Fantastic family home

My extended family had a wonderful time. The house was spotless when we arrived, the kitchen was large enough for 2 or 3 cooks, the bedrooms were large and the beds were oh so comfortable. This house is perfect for the very young, and not so young. My grown grandkids enjoyed their stay, my great grandson so loved the swingset, and the backyard was perfect for all the lawn games. We had no issues with anything, but Chen made sure we had 2 ways to contact him if any arose. There is a playroom off the sun porch, which came in handy for the little one. We all will remember Annabelle's place with the fondest of memories.

Good for Families

Great location just a few blocks from downtown. We were able to walk down with ease for meals and ice cream. House was very clean with plenty of space for everyone. Very large dining room table with lots of seating. Living room has 2 sofas that seat 5 total. Beds were very comfortable and the extra AC units on the west bedrooms allowed us to keep temps regulated for the babies. There is a crib in the first floor bedroom, but the mattress was too soft for my infant but we had space for the pack and play. Kitchen had really nice nonstick cookware and plenty of dishes. Upstairs bathroom has extra shelving to store everyone’s toiletries. Sun room was a treat for morning coffee on rainy days. House was under contract for sale at the time of our stay. Hopefully the new owners keep the same level of cleanliness for future stays. Play set is aging, inspect before climbing.

BEAUTIFUL HOUSE

We LOVED the character of the property. Built long ago, with all the updated amenities! Our house runs out of hot water, but this house DID NOT!!!!! We had basically 4 different families, and there was plenty of room. We enjoyed all the toys in the garage, beautiful sun room, walks around the property, piano, and the high school band friday night! Internet connection was great, beds were super comfy, lots of attractions nearby, big bedrooms, PERFECT table for so many to eat at. We got lots of family pictures around the table. Back yard had plenty of seating, playground for the kids, and a fire pit! We couldn't have planned a better stay!!!!!!!
