Great house

This house was the nicest we've booked in South Haven. Close to town and the beach. Very well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Has lots of beach toys, corn hole, pingpong, foosball, etc. Lots to entertain the kids from 2 to 14. The owner was easy to deal with. Thanks!

Great house for family vacation. Kids loved the room with bunkbeds. Everything you need to prepare meals is here. House is clean and as a bonus beach towels, toys, and chairs were provided. Walkable to the beach. We would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable and Convenient Location

Five women stayed at Joan's home for 4 nights. We each had our own bedroom and shared 3 bathrooms. The living space is spacious and accommodated us well. Everything is well appointed and clean. We had great discussions around the kitchen island. The home is walking distant to main shops and restaurants in downtown. Fantastic location. Highly recommend!!!

Perfect location and beautiful home!

We absolutely loved this home! It was the perfect home for a family vacation. It was only a few short blocks to town and a quick walk to two parks. We visited the park at south haven beach and the Kids Corner park, both of which my 3 year old daughter loved. In fact, the home was so well located we barely even used our car during the stay. The house itself was gorgeous down to every last detail- cozy, had every amenity you could possibly need, open concept design, private backyard, the list goes on! The check in process was super easy too. I would recommend this home to anyone visiting Soith Haven!

Inviting South Haven Home

Lovely, clean, well maintained home just a 2 minute walk to downtown South Haven and 5 minute walk to the marina. I rented the home for a 3-day stay to attend a family wedding - my two siblings rented separate homes nearby for their families. The one night we decided to get together for dinner, it was a no brainer to meet up at our house - the basement game room with foosball and ping pong tables was a great way for the cousins to reacquaint. And the spacious open floor plan - including large dining room table was an ideal setting for us all. Joan was the perfect property manager - conscientious and accommodating. I highly recommend this South Haven gem!

Truly amazing renovation but curb appeal is deceiving!

Must walk in! Great open kitchen and living area. Fun game room. Inviting, comfortable porch. Easy walk to downtown and lighthouse. Pure Michigan beaches. Beautiful neighborhoods for walking. Hydrangeas were in full bloom! Well stocked kitchen and towels and paper products and beach items. Owner is great. Two negatives: no queen or king beds, only doubles. Watch your step on the uneven driveway. Side yard is an added bonus with gorgeous flowers and a fire pit. Great home for a family gathering.
