This house was wonderful. There was plenty of space for my husband, myself, and our 4 teenagers. The property felt private and secluded, while also being just minutes from restaurants, shopping, and beaches. Communication with the host was quick and easy.

We enjoyed our stay at Robin’s Nest. The home was charming and perfectly suited our needs. There is a grocery store and a farm market 5 minutes away. The home is also within walking distance of downtown South Haven. The one problem we had was the driveway was very easy to miss. We drove past it more than once. The directions we were given did warn us of that, though. The house does have a lot of stairs including steps up from the entrance to the main living area. Better lighting by those steps would be nice. Thank you to the hosts for sharing their home.

The house was just charming and adorable. Very spacious with plenty for sleeping accommodations. Absolutely loved the unique lot it was located on. It was close to downtown, the beach, grocery store but yet very secluded. Enjoyed South Haven by all and host was wonderful.

Great getaway

You can walk to downtown, a bit too far of a walk to get to south beach. Tons of things to do. The house is very close to everything. We had plenty of room for 10 of us. Great location, nice home, would def rent it again.

Family Trip

We just spent an extended weekend with our grown kids and grandkiddos in South Haven and are so thankful we found Robin's Nest! Very spacious, clean and welcoming. The outside space was absolutely perfect for the little ones to run around and play! The long, private driveway made this a very safe location for little ones. We all had fun in the little playhouse - love that singing fish! We relaxed by the firepit, roasting hot dogs & marshmallows. Getting to the beach was a very short drive as was the quaint, fun downtown area. If you have kids, check out Kids Corner which is a city park not far at all from the cottage. Robin's home is a gem. All of us enjoyed our stay!

Fantastic Stay

Great house with lots of room for 8 of us to spread out. Loved the character of the house and so much fun stuff to check out in the house. We used the gas grill, the fire pit, the bicycles, beach chairs, and the screened in porch was our favorite spot. Easy walk to town and the beach, all though we drove to the beach because of the amount of stuff we wanted to bring. The adresss is on a busy street, but as soon as you go down the private drive, you cant see or hear anything. We loved being tucked away. Its clear that the owner, Robin spends time there because it has all the spices and kitchen necessities you could need. We also loved the amount of plates and silverware available. With such a large group, it made it eaay to do many meals without needing to worry about washing dishes for the next meal. Robin was also excellent at communicating before during and after. We wiuld definitely stay there again!

This property was a perfect fit for our family. We had six adults and three small children. The playhouse was in great shape and the kids enjoyed the fact that it was in the woods overlooking the creek. The house is convenient for downtown; it is off the main road and feels secluded. It has a nice yard, fire pit, and screened-in porch. It was very quiet and peaceful. The house was well-stocked with basic items and the rooms were comfortable and inviting. We would definitely stay here again.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Pros: The home was in a great location and there was a lot of space for our group. Cons: The home was not clean. The surfaces had a lot of dust and grime (nightstands, windowsills, baseboards). There were so many spiders and crickets in the basement crawling on the floors, walls and beds. We found garbage on the floor and dirty silverware in the drawer. Also, the listing said the home had several items that they actually didn’t have, including bikes, beach umbrellas, and coolers. We would have rated this stay a 5 if not for the uncleanliness. The home really has the potential to be a perfect vacation spot.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 June 2026
Thank you for this and honestly, we appreciate you being fair about it. The location and space comments mean a lot, but we hear you on the cleanliness. That's not okay and it's not what we want for our guests. We got on it right away after your stay. Our cleaning team has been walked through exactly what was missed and we've added a more thorough walkthrough checklist so the basement, baseboards, and those easy to overlook spots don't get skipped again. The bikes, umbrellas, and coolers, you're right, that listing was out of date and we've fixed it. No one should show up expecting something that isn't there. We hope you'll consider coming back. This place really does shine when everything is running the way it should, and we'd love a chance to show you that.

Loved the location and privacy. Rental was clean and well equipped. Comfortable and homey. One of our guests from Chicago is planning on renting again. Robin and Jim were very gracious.

Family time.

Short weekend away with family. Very nice, cozy place. Just of the Main Street but it’s down a long private drive and once you get there you feel secluded. Robin had everything we needed and plenty of room. My grandson loved running around. We stay somewhere South of here last September and my kids (26 & 40) said even though Robins Nest is older it has more charm and privacy (space between rentals), making it quiet & relaxing & they liked this place better.

Unique character

This place offered a great retreat for our family while we visited South Haven. It was fun for the kids and adults, as we checked out the playhouse, sat in the screened porch, lit a fire in the pit, grilled and enjoyed the inside space in the evenings for games and visiting. Plenty of space inside & out for someone to find some private time as well. We are glad we were able to rent this property!

Country within the City!

How amazing this property truly is! Town is so close but when you’re “home” you feel secluded and relaxed! This property was truly amazing. Robin was easy to reach to ask questions and the house was stocked with basically all you need for your stay! We really enjoyed the outdoor fire pit as well as the screened in porch. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in South Haven. We will 100% be back again!

Great stay for multiple families with children!

We had a great stay! Having the 3 levels was helpful for each family to have their own space. We enjoyed the outdoor area and appreciated having the beach chairs to use. Good location… you can walk to town if you want but it’s a bit if a ways and we had little kids so it was easier to drive. Definitely recommend!!

A Special Place

Robins Nest is a wonderful and special property for families and/ or friends to spend time together. The large and secluded house is located at the end of a long driveway off of the main road leading to the town and beeches of South Haven- which are within easy walking distance of the house. The four large bedrooms are spread over three floors and the house has a large living room, dining room and fully- stocked kitchen on the main floor and a separate lounge and TV area on a lower floor that some of my family used to relax in privacy. My 2 year old granddaughter loved playing in the wooden playhouse overlooking a stream and on the spacious grounds both in the front and back of the house. All of us enjoyed grilling and relaxing in the evening around the fire pit in the backyard. Robin is an excellent host and was always available , communicative and helpful. My family would love to return to Robins Nest in the future.
