Another great experience for blueberry fest. Julie and Michael as always …Pleasure to deal with.Great location …Vast area for relaxing and entertaining.Look forward to returning…
What a great place, awesome location, and best ever experience with our hosts! Easy walk to the beach, or bike ride. We biked the town and the Kal-Haven trail. We walked to restaurants and shops. If you are club members, the Moose is a quick 5 minute drive or 10 minute bike ride. The American Legion is a 5 minute walk with the best sunset views over Lake Michigan anywhere! And the Elks is a 10 minute walk and their upper level location downtown has great views of the shops and lake. We spent lots of time on the screened in, wrap around porch and made a fire in the fire pit at night. So much room for everyone!
We enjoyed the size and location of this rental, easy to get to town and to the beach.Loved the wood floors and the kitchen reminded me of my grandma's house growing up. The screened porch was quite nice and had a lot of furniture to enjoy morning coffee and evening chats.
The host made check in very easy. Nice property and easy walk to downtown. House was clean with lots of room and had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Would definitely stay here again.
Was a great experience as always …Third year our family has stayed for blueberry fest.Location is perfect Julie & Michael are great to work with..Hopefully they will have us next year as well.
We absolutely loved it here, it was our first time but everyone in our party agreed that we’d come back to not only the town but to stay in the house specifically. Absolutely perfect!
We had a lovely stay. The house was surprisingly spacious, lots of lounge space and tall ceilings. Really with everything you could need. The location is amazing, walkable to beach and town. We could see the black river from the front steps. Because its at the end of a cul de sac, we could throw a football with our kids out in the street without worrying about through traffic. This house really exceeded all of our expectations. Would definitely want to stay here again.
We loved our stay at his house. We have stayed in South Haven for a few years and this location is perfect . A few blocks to downtown , short walk to the beach and beautiful view of the black river from the upstairs deck. The house is huge , everything you need for a great stay . Julie is great to communicate with and can’t wait for next summer !

Lovely Home!
This property is lovely, well appointed and so clean. The furnishings are tasteful and comfortable and the home is so close to town and beach so the location is perfect. I highly recommend it!
This is our 3rd time staying at this wonderful home. The location can't be beat, very close to town and not too far from the beach. The screened in front porch is where we spent most of our time, just lovely. We had a small issue and the hosts were available and immediately responded.
Outstanding location, minutes walk from restaurants, bars, beach, river, park. Pictures do not give justice to how much space you have on this property. Lots of toys, games, and activities. Great place for a family vacation. Will visit again!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the south beach/near town charmer …
Second time staying, first time for full week.
Loved the screened in porch and upper exterior deck areas for morning coffee and evening champagne…
So spacious with a lot of seating for hosting friends and family.
Location was perfect for walking uptown and evening walks…
Garage had fun things for activities like bags game and bicycles…
Wish we could stay longer.
Will definitely be back next year.
We took our family vacation Labor Day weekend with our two adult daughters. The house was awesome in every phase. The location was great as we were within a few blocks of downtown, the beach and other places. The screened in porch was great. We cannot wait to return!
Wonderful property. Perfect for our girls trip. Close to Saugatuck and then back for dinner and drinks in South Haven. Really enjoyed the rooftop deck for sitting and relaxing and watching boats come and go through the harbor. Definitely would stay here again. Thank you
. Thanks so much
This is our third time, 2nd year for blueberry fest staying at the property. We always have a great time here. Location is perfect, house is spacious and beds are comfy. So many rooms and seats to share. Quiet and calm setting. You cannot go wrong staying at this property. Owners are great to deal with. Will definitely be back next year.
The home was even nicer than in the pictures. It was more spacious than we thought, so many areas to sit and enjoy time with our family. There were so many items supplied, ample towels, linens, kitchen tools, etc. We are certain to choose this property again in the future! Thank you SO MUCH!!
For a group of 6 of us we thoroughly enjoyed this home; it was our 3rd time and it did not disappoint. The large screen room was a highlight. We were easily able to utilize kitchen and grill for several meals at home. Thank you for new memories. We will return!!
