We had a wonderful stay at this property!The space was extremely clean, comfortable, and stocked with all the amenities we needed. The neighborhood felt very safe, and we truly felt right at home from the moment we arrived. It would be perfect for both an adults-only trip or a family getaway. We would absolutely stay here again—highly recommend!
Excellent rental. Host was very friendly and accommodating! The property was extremely well supplied with amenities over and above what we normally see in a VRBO. Will definitely stay here again.
Outstanding Home for a trip to the Holland area. This is a gem for anyone that is looking for a home away from home experience. We were a party of 6 and it was a perfect fit. The host James was very attentive prior t and during our stay and quickly responsive to any needs that occur. Highly Recommended!
Staying at The Home Next Door in Holland MI was clean, comfortable and very pleasant all around. The location to the wedding events in downtown Holland was very convenient.
Property exceeded all expectations. Host was very responsive and helpful and the property included every amenity we could've needed. Would absolutely stay here again!
Perfect accommodations for a getaway of three long time, friends in the prettiest tulip town in the states! Very likely we will be visiting Holland again and staying at The House Next Door! Our host James was most accommodating, friendly, and so easy to work with!
Clean and practical for family and infant
Location was convenient and quiet neighborhood. Owner was accommodative and helpful.. would stay again in a heartbeat
My family needed a place to call home for a weekend as we were in from out of town for a wedding nearby. This place was large, well stocked with pantry staples, and a home away from home. Recommend whole-heartedly that you stay here.

About the host
Hosted by James Fontaine
Hello!
My name is James and I'm your host! The House Next Door got its name because we live full-time one door away! I am married to Danielle, dad to a beautiful little girl, and dad to a long-haired Weimaraner named Buddy. I am an avid foodie, adventurer, outdoorsman, and traveler.
I attended college at Ferris State University earning a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering and a Master's Degree in Business Administration with advanced certifications in Design and Innovation Management from Kendall College of Art and Design. During my career, I've had the privilege to work for large technology companies in the automotive, information technology, and petroleum industries in varying roles from Process Engineering to System Administrator. I am also a professional bicycle mechanic, still working for the same shop since 2005!
We are very customer service-oriented and are excited for the opportunity to be your host!
Why they chose this property
Our location couldn't be better within Holland and we are lucky enough to own our neighboring house to rent! We get to be immediately available for our guests during their stays to offer support, correct any issues that may come up, and best maintain our rental.
What makes this property unique
To us, The House Next Door isn't a luxury stay. We aren't trying to create that type of space. We intend to create a space that is safe and satisfying while feeling "just like home". The house offers a fenced-in backyard for small children to be safely watched by parents while they lounge, grill, and gather on the upper deck. There is a 4-acre field in the back yard, owned by the adjacent church, where guests can have more space for outdoor activities.
James is a professional bicycle mechanic and can provide parts, service, and rentals during your stay!
