Short walk to North Beach

This home is absolutely beautiful, even better than the pictures! Home had been recently remodeled. The decor is fresh and cozy. No expense was spared. Bedding was luxurious. House was very well supplied with everything we needed from beach chairs to zip lock bags. Our group of nine adults had plenty of space for sleeping or just lounging around watching TV. The large farm house table fit our group comfortably plus there was another big table on the afternoon-shaded back deck. The 1 block walk to the beach was very convenient! We will definitely rent this wonderful home again!

Best vacation!

After family vacations to FL and SC we decided to try South Haven MI. We absolutely loved it! Our house was perfect and a great location, just 1 block from the beach. We were able to walk everywhere and really enjoyed the cooler temps and beautiful beach! The Oakland house was well equipped and the owner was very responsive to our questions and requests. We will definitely go back!

We had an amazing stay. It is located so close to everything. Right near the beach and close to the downtown. The place was so clean and had everything you could need. The owners were quick to respond to a question I had and were super friendly. Would definitely like to stay here again!
