The house was lovely! Roomy, clean and had everything we needed. The back yard was big and the deck was perfect. The location was a short drive to the sandy beach and downtown. We are definitely coming back next summer.

Relaxing Getaway

We had a lovely time celebrating a 50th wedding anniversary at this location. The house was a perfect size for 6 adults. It was clean and well-maintained. We even used the puzzles and some of the games for entertainment. It was nice to be such a close walk to the beach and nature preserve.

Family vaca

Every summer our family goes to South Haven to enjoy Lake Michigan. We have stayed in many homes and this is by far the nicest we have had! The house had everything we needed for entertainment, the beach, and relaxing. It's in the perfect location as well!

Great Spot to stay within walking distances to beach in SW Michigan

Everything was fantastic at our stay in South Haven. Angelica answered any questions we had and made check in and check out a breeze. The house had everything we needed and they had chairs and items to use for the beach and firewood for the fire pit out back. The home is within walking distance to the public beach. Whenever we head back to SW Michigan we would stay here again!!!

A perfect summer retreat!

We have stayed in South Haven for years and this has quickly become a favorite spot. The hosts have left not a single detail out - there are games, toys, books, puzzles; cozy, comfortable beds; everything needed for a beach day or a fun game night in the backyard. We easily walked down the road to the rock beach for sunsets, and were in town with less than a 10 minute drive. Thank you for a special family summer memory!

I fell in love instantly with this house. It’s picture perfect inside and out. It was on a quiet street just a few minutes from Van Buren State Park where other family members were camping. It was extremely clean, beautifully decorated, and the owners have stocked the place with everything we needed for our stay. The beds were very comfortable and the main bathroom was like a luxury hotel! Getting in to the house was easy as was checking out. My only complaint was that we didn’t spend enough time in the house and that is our fault. All of us felt we had found our place at the beach in this house. We hope to stay here again next year!

The house was beautiful, clean, organized, open floor plan and in an incredible location! The beds were comfortable, the pillows were great quality, the kitchen was stocked with anything and everything you could ever need to prepare a meal. The sports equipment in the shed had the kids entertained our entire stay, I don’t they even got to everything. Beaches any direction you go! Grab a morning coffee and take the very short walk to the beach to look for rocks! The short flat walking trails around the corner were beautiful. We were pleasantly surprised how close the beaches were! They truly thought of everything anyone could need for their trip. I would 1000% stay there again!
