Views were amazing, but there was no air conditioning in the master bedroom and the storm door on the back of the house was so worn out it slammed shut every time someone went out,

I highly recommend this home for a family-friendly stay in South Haven! The views were beautiful. It is not too long down to the beach and my 3 year old could do the stairs by himself. I absolutely loved the little walk of grass towards the end. The home itself is lovely and ideal for a family stay. The kitchen/living room setup is perfect for hanging out during the day with small children. My 1 year old could crawl around the place while we cooked. The location is also great - it is a few minutes from downtown South Haven and not too long a drive from other places like Holland! I also want to mention how CLEAN this house looked and felt. Everything was spotless!!I will be looking to stay at this house again in the future!

Indeed! The View of the Lake is Surreal!

Perfect last minute Michigan get-away before winter sets in. The house is perched on the edge of a bluff with fantastic views of Lake Michigan. Everything was clean, easy, nicely furnished and just as advertised. The hot tub was large, clean, modern, very warm and comforting with the same great views of the lake. Beach access via private stairs was no problem for us. Recommended!!

Hey Terry! I am so glad you loved your time at Great Lakes Escape so much, it's one of my favorite homes in our roster! There's truly something irreplaceable about the private beach view so far from the hustle and bustle of downtown, not to mention the option to admire it from the hot tub. We would love to have you back for another incredible stay any time, so give us a ring! All the best, Shores Vacation Rentals

The Best view I've ever seen of the Lake! 180 degrees - WOW!

The property was easy to find and well-appointed and comfortable. It must sit on a outcropping of sorts because it feels like you're on the bow of a ship, with water views to both sides, as well as to the front astounding! The beds were super comfortable, the kitchen well-supplied with utensils. And extra fridge in the garage made storage a breeze - dishwasher and disposal all there! We used the fire pit everyday and there was plenty of comfortable seating. The hot tub was large, lovely and very clean. South Haven itself felt cute and clean, but with enough variety and options to go out...and the pizza from the Glenn Store was outstanding! We had a lovely time - thank you!

Sensational sunsets

We lucked out with gorgeous weather with beautiful sunsets. The house has everything you need if you choose to cook there and/or is a short jaunt to South Haven. We got to meet a few of the neighbors with their pups, saw the resident eagle pass by as well as a few kayakers. My hubby and brother simmered in the hot tub while enjoying the lake views. The Ravines golf course never disappoints - greens are a challenge. A fabulous spot to relax! Thank you.

Great Lakes Escape Surreal Lakeview Getaway Private Beach Access Hot Tub The online photos give the impression of a much newer and up-to-date home then what it actually is. The location is fantastic and so was the view. We enjoyed the deck and the bonfire very much. However, it took us about 3 1/2 hours of heavy cleaning to get it ready for the rest of our family. There were cobwebs and spiders throughout and a very musty smell throughout as well, especially in the basement. Major dust under the beds. Also, the home is listed as no pets yet we found dog hair on some of the blankets and there are doggy cover pads on the sofa. It's a beautiful property that just needs and deserves a lot more TLC.

Beautiful views

Overall, we had a very good experience. The house has many pluses, but the best part of the house is the fantastic view of Lake Michigan. We enjoyed many nights sitting on the deck with the beautiful views of the lake and sunset, and the children really enjoyed the hottub. The private beach is also very beautiful and very secluded, however, it is a more difficult walk to the beach than we expected. There are two paths, and one of them is a very steep staircase with 122 steps, and the other a very steep walkway. My parents are in their seventies and did have difficulty navigating both ways. Just be aware that this may make this house not a great choice if you aren't able to do a lot of exercise.The house was very clean, but one downside was the smell of mildew, which was especially bad in one of the front bedrooms. We also went during one of the hottest weeks for Michigan and the air was not working well. When we reported this, they responded very quickly and sent someone to put in a portable air conditioner, which definitely helped. The house was very spacious with plenty of places to sleep, but the bathrooms with exception of one have no counter space, and adding some hooks for hanging items would be helpful. There are many things for kids to do in the house, including multiple video games and toys. The house is also only about ten minutes from South Haven, and only 20-30 minutes to get to Saugatuck and Holland. There were a few downsides, but overall, we really enjoyed!

Truly one of the most well-appointed VRBOs, in the way of hosting families with kids, that we have ever been to. We had a multigenerational group and everyone had the space they needed. The large dining table allowed for us to all sit and eat together and the kitchen was well-appointed for us to cook as many meals as we wanted. We enjoyed looking at the stars with the telescope and playing trivial pursuit in the lazy afternoons. The place was CLEAN upon our arrival. The walk to the beach is a little rough for short legs, but doable. And we appreciated having our own private beach access.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review—and for sharing these beautiful photos! We love seeing Great Lakes Escape through our guests' eyes. It means so much to hear that your entire family, from the youngest to the oldest, had space to relax and enjoy time together. From meals around the dining table to afternoons with Trivial Pursuit, evenings under the stars with the telescope, and mornings overlooking Lake Michigan, it sounds like you made the most of everything the home has to offer. We know the walk to the beach can be a bit of an adventure for little ones, so we're especially glad your family enjoyed having private access once you got there. We hope to welcome you all back again soon!
