Perfect MI home

This house was perfect for our family vacation. Family of 5 that included three grown children. We had plenty of room, everything was super clean, owners were AWESOME! We loved the back yard space, so relaxing to sit around the fire pit roasting marshmallows. If you’re thinking about staying here, do it! You won’t regret it.

South Haven Gem

The location and area were just what we wanted. Short walk to an amazing view of the coastline. If you are a walker, you will find quiet roads and beautiful views. The house was perfect for our family of seven and close to town, farmers markets and a short drive to Holland. We would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful family experience!

Home is cozy, well stocked and beautiful. Little things like night lights and outlets for chargers, etc all thought of! Comfy beds and linens. Smores bar well appreciated and used with gas firepit on porch even during the rain during our stay. Tram to private beach is nice for a quick adventure but we still opted to hear to North Beach for the day. Rental is no pet policy but I suspect owners have a dog due to pet hair found around the house…in places a toddler explores! Not enough to deter us from staying here again, but something to note if you have allergies and likely a deeper clean by housekeeping would take care of it. Alex, owner, great to communicate with via text. We enjoyed the home with Grandma, mom, dad and four kids ranging from 1-8 years. You won’t be disappointed!

Perfect house in a perfect location!

This was our third stay at Alex and Lori's house, and it will not be our last! The house was beautiful, clean, and comfortable for our multi-age family. We absolutely love the location between South Haven ans Saugatuck, and with a beautiful beach with breathtaking sunsets at the end of the street.

Adorable!

Cute and comfortable house! We had a great stay with 2 couples and 2 kids (8 and 11). Everyone had plenty of space and the house is so nicely decorated. Welcoming vibe the minute you walk in. We loved the porch swing, outdoor shower, and both fire pits. You can tell the owners really thought out what would work best for this house. Beach was walkable, but as stated in the listing, you need to go down stairs or use the tram. Location is great - right in between South Haven and Saugatuck. Owner was responsive and helpful! :)

Perfect family vacation

We had the best vacation in South Haven! Alex's home fit our needs for our family of six (including four teens) perfectly. The house is beautiful, even more so than the pictures depict. We spent plenty of time at the beach at the end of the road and enjoyed sunsets, rock hunting and swimming daily. The adorable towns of South Haven and Saugatuck are a short drive from the house. Communication with the hosts was excellent. We hope to be back soon! Thanks for a great week!

Perfect July 4th getaway!

This property was amazing! It was perfect for a visit to South Haven for 4th of July. The property, communication with the owner, and location were all outstanding! The property was very clean and well-decorated. The gas fire pit on the front porch and the wood-burning fire pit in the backyard both got plenty of use. After a day of exploring South Haven, having such relaxing options at night was a great way to bring the family together. The outdoor shower was very convenient for washing off sand and making sure not to drag it into the house. The upstairs loft was great for teenagers that wanted their own space. The owners left beach gear (towels, wagon, mat, etc) that was perfect for not only the private beach, but easy to take to North/South beach. Overall all the property and amenities exceeded expectations. The owners were very responsive and proactive in communication. We had no issues during the trip, but knew exactly how to get in touch with the owners. The owners both delivered great service through excellent communication. The location worked very well for us. It is 5 minutes out of town, but the road to town connects you right with Pheonix street. Groceries are available at Aldi's, Meijers, and Walmart right at the edge of town near the property. Was very easy to get in and out of town. Fireworks in Bangor, MI on the 4th were fantastic! Go to South Haven and book this property!

Great Holiday Weekend at a Beautiful Home

My family and I really loved staying at this property. House decor was vary nice, beds were comfy, kitchen was great. House was very clean and also had awesome front porch and back yard area for gathering. Neighborhood was quiet, close to lake for nice sunset views. I especially loved all the extra touches provided by the owners such as having the makings for Smores. Owner's communication was excellent. If we return to the area again, I'd definitely check availability of this property.

Fantastic house

This was our second time renting this house, and we hope it's not the last! Every inch of the house was perfectly clean when we arrived, and the house was fully stocked with everything we needed. The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do in the area (visit restaurants and beaches in South Haven and Saugatuck, pick blueberries, etc.), and all we had to do was walk to the end of the street for breathtaking sunset views!

Relaxing stay by the shore

We spent a week at this home with our two kids and extended family. The house is exactly as listed and was very comfortable for all of us. We enjoyed both the outdoor fire pit on the patio and also the gas fire pit on the front porch. The outdoor shower was awesome after spending days on the beach. We enjoyed the short (3-5 minute) walk down to the tram to take in the sunsets and walk down on the shore. The hosts are awesome are great communicators throughout. The location just north of South Haven and about 20 minutes away from Saugatuck is terrific. This is a great place to stay and we would definitely recommend it to others.

Terrific vacation experience

Our family vacation at this lovely home was great. I was a bit apprehensive about the house not being directly on the lake, or having to navigate getting down the bluff to the beach, but it turns out the location was great. We didn't have to worry about our little ones (three under the age of four) falling into the water, and the short walk to the beach was easy, as was using the tram. We also enjoyed two days at South Beach, just a short drive away. There's so much to do in the area, but simply hanging out at the well-equipped house was great, too. Highly recommend!

Perfection!

My husband, our adult daughters and their boyfriends stayed for a week and there are not enough positive words to describe this home! The home is prettier in person and so well appointed. The mud room was perfect for all the beach gear we brought and the outdoor shower was great for getting the sand off. The beach cart in the mud room was extremely helpful at the beach. Everything you needed was there to make a most comfortable and memorable stay, inside and outside. Thank you Alex and Lori for sharing your home. I’d rate your home and our stay 10 stars if it were available!

A fantastic family getaway!

We had a wonderful stay at Alex and Lori’s South Haven property! The house was so well equipped with everything we could possibly need. Around every turn I was pleasantly surprised at how much thought they’d put into making each room ready for guests to have the perfect stay. It was a very easy drive into town but far enough out to feel relaxing and tranquil without the crowds. Thanks for sharing your vacation home with our family.

Great home for a family vacation!

This is the perfect home for a family vacation! The home is clean and stocked with all the essentials you need. We felt right at home from the moment we walked in the door. The loft area upstairs is a great place for kids to play or watch a movie. The backyard is a great set up for bbqs during the day and bonfires in the evening. Alex and Lori are attentive host and made sure we had everything we needed. The communication was the best I have experienced with a property host. The drive to town/beach is less than 10 minutes and we didn't mind the short commute. Hope to stay again in the future.

Beautiful property and fantastic hosts!

We had an excellent week staying at Alex and Lori’s home! It was clean, the beds were very comfortable and the front and back deck were great to get some sun or chill in the shade. We were a short walk to the bluff and Lake Michigan. While it is beautiful, there is no beach so you do have to drive if you want to swim. Our drive to town was only about 7min. The quiet of the street was relaxing and we saw many deer and rabbits each evening while chilling on the adorandak chairs. Alex and Lori were very attentive hosts and If you are looking for a beautiful home that has nearly everything you can think of and a great location, book a stay at this home!
