We had a great stay. The house was charming, very clean, and a quick drive to the downtown shops and beaches. We loved having a nice quiet spot at night to relax on the porch and access to the pool.

House and decor are cute and beachy. Pool was nice, clean and heated. This lower level unit is great for families as the second bedroom has a built in bunk bed and a twin bed which would accommodate 3 children. It is a quick drive down the street to the beaches of South Haven.

Beautiful vacation getaway

This is a quiet neighborhood that is close to everything we need. The pool is a favorite and the condo is a good size for a couple or small family. The hosts are wonderful and we've enjoyed our stay here for the last several years.

A Great Vacation Spot

This is a great vacation property. It is a quiet area and the porch was perfect to host our kids and their families for a family dinner. It is close to groceries as well as the downtown area. We hope to rent the same condo next summer for our family vacation.

Great time in South Haven

We had a great experience with our stay. Condo was clean, cute & cozy! Location was good for getting to anywhere in South Haven, either by car or even walking to the beach! Plus, pool was great for our kids when they weren’t interested in going to or staying at the beach! Would definitely recommend & would definitely come again.

Quiet Getaway

On the northern edge of SH, this property is very convenient and easy bike ride to anywhere in town. It’s also a quick drive up to Saugatuck for the day. We happened to be there during cool, rainy weather so we didn’t get to bike as much, but we did take advantage of the gas fireplace. Patti communicated well and was quickly responsive to any inquiry. We had a very enjoyable week.

Cute and Comfy Vacation Spot!

This was our very first family vacation and it was perfect! It was kid friendly, comfy, and decorated adorably! So many amazing touches from the tennis rackets and basketball in the back, to the AMPLE seating inside and the 3 outside areas to sit, to the games, movies, and books we found inside! The kitchen had a nice stock of utensils and things to make our stay easier and cheaper because we were able to bring food and cook! And, even 2 grills and a fire pit outside! It was really nice to have everything thought about for us. The pool and tennis courts are just steps away. And, the beach and downtown South Haven were so close. Only a 30 minute drive to both St. Joe's and Holland for little day trips. So fun! Thanks so much for thinking of everything and making our say to easy! Can't wait to go back!

perfect for a little get away!!

Recently stayed at the hexagon house for a girls weekend in South Haven, everything was perfect!! Very roomy! Beds were comfortable! We loved that the living room area had so much sitting space. It was perfect for sitting around and catching up. We chuckled at trying to find the light switch for the living room fan and light, took us a while to realize it was behind the TV. House is close to the downtown area and beach. Communication with the owner was great too!! She always responded quickly and answered all questions. I would definitely consider staying here again if we head to South Haven (which hopefully we will, cute area!!). Also side note, we had to use the immediate care close by and they were great as well. Quick and friendly. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us, we had a terrific time.

The condo was very clean and beautifully decorated. We had everything we needed for a great stay. Communication was very easy. The only drawback was the noise from the road since the home is not far away from the highway however it was very easy to get to. The fireplace was electric and we expected it to be gas. Overall we enjoyed our time at the condo.

Great Quite Location

We had a wonderful time at the Octagon House. It is so close to South Haven but in a quiet area a little bit outside of the city. The front deck area was a nice place to hang out, and the use of the pool was an added bonus for my three teenagers. We had a great time and I would recommend this clean and cozy house to anyone of all ages. You will not regret staying there.
