Beautiful place to celebrate anniversary.

Location of the Resort is fantastic. Pretty quiet and clean all around. The beach is amazing, away from crowds, but 85 steps down and worth it every step. Apartment was clean and nice.

Great place close to everything!

We very much enjoyed our stay! Property was clean and the resort was very nice and close to everything. There were a few lights that didn’t work and we didn’t get a response when we brought it up, but it didn’t have a huge impact on the quality of our stay. We definitely would stay here again!

Girls Trip

I came with some of my friends for a few days and it was super great. A great location, can take the bikes that they have and ride it to downtown South Haven. Tennis and pickleball courts are greatly kept. Beach is clean, private and just steps down. The room has everything that you need. We encountered quite a bit of bugs and stink bugs but it wasn’t too big of an issue.

Refund for returned key

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a good time and it was convenient. However, we have made numerous calls about the missing key that was returned to the management and we were still charged $25.00 for the key that was returned within one-two days of our departure.

Weekend stay

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The pool and office hours were incorrectly listed. Pool close at 6 but we expected it to be open later like it was said. The door was accidentally left open by whoever cleaned before we got there. So there were a bunch of mosquitoes in the place when we arrived. The shower took about 5-10 minutes just to get warm. The amenities all by the basketball courts were old and outdated/broken

Concept carries over some slipped execution.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: End of season, so problems accumulated. The floor was dirty. Textured hard floor, lots of sand or something somewhere. Coming back from the shower, sole of my feet full of grit. No drain board, rack for hand washing dishes.Some bulbs out, the fan and its light in bedroom didn't work at all. When we came the TVs were disconnected.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 2nd visit in 5 years. We love sleepy hollow. It's perfect for families. We were a bit disappointed with the beach shrinkage, but it's out of their hands. This visit, we were able to take advantage of the kids club and the bikes -- so great. We'll be back and it will be sooner than 5 years this time!

Love Sleepy Hollow, Didn't Love Unit 53

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love Sleepy Hollow and will undoubtedly return, but our unit this year was a bit disappointing. Finicky toilet, a shower with apparently only two temperatures, no DVD player (contrary to the unit's description), and the kitchen was stocked with the cheapest, flimsiest tools possible. Understandable from the owner's perspective, but extremely frustrating for anyone trying to cook a halfway decent meal. Next year I'll pack my own knives, can opener, tongs, and spatulas. Aside from those annoyances, the unit itself was very nice, plenty spacious enough for our small family, with large porches. Despite the proximity to the road and gate, it was quiet, and the back porch overlooked a peaceful wooded area.

The only challenge was our sons didn't like the pull-out bed so we'll switch to another unit next year.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Every year we stay in a different unit at Sleepy Hollow. This is our second time in #53. We like the second floor location because of the covered balcony which we can still use on a buggy night or a rainy day.

Unit 53 at Sleepy Hollow

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unfortunately for us, the new furniture, installed after we made our reservation and not yet shown on the website, meant that 53 no longer suited our needs. The office very kindly moved us to a different unit after the first night.We liked 53 when we stayed there 2 years ago. Eating out on the covered porch especially nice. Sleepy Hollow itself is a wonderful spot, especially with kids, as we know from many past visits. We would absolutely recommend it.We note, though, that the new pillows in unit 53 were impossible, like large blocks of stone. We suggest you replace them. Otherwise the new furniture looked very nice, but without the bunk beds no longer big enough for us. This unit would be very comfortable for a couple, or a couple with two other persons who did not mind sharing a smallish pull out bed in the den off the living room. Cannot now sleep more than 4, however, and we were 5.
