Perfect 4th weekend!

This house has the best location of any in South Haven. The fireworks were spectacular. The beach and shoreline perfect. Adjacent to the public beach. Back yard patios and decks great. Our family had a wonderful time.

A little bit of paradise

Great location and beautiful view of Lake Michigan which seemed like an ocean. Had wonderful meals at the house but also ventured to The Fields of Michigan and Taste in South Haven. Weather was perfect... cool in 70s in July! We'll be back!

Lake Getaway

Wonderful location, spectacular views and the house was in very good condition. Just a few items that the management company needed to address when we first arrived but overall very pleased. However, with the amount spent, elevator access should have been provided. Four floors, lots of stairs and our parents where staying with us, 5 people in their late 70's, early 80's. It was difficult for them and they would not join us again based on that.

Wonderful property with stunning Lake Michigan views. From the moment you walk in, the beach and water are front and center, and our weeklong stay gave us beautiful sunset views inside and out.The house is expensive, but feels high-end throughout, with thoughtful supplies, excellent appliances and finishes, and some of the best beds and bedding we’ve had in a rental. The bedroom setup was as advertised. The windowless bunk room is dark and ideal for young kids, while the primary bedroom has incredible lake views, a large upscale bathroom, and a private porch.The home is built into a bluff, so there are many stairs from street level to the beach. Most are internalized through the living, bedroom, and lower family-room areas, making them feel less daunting than long outdoor bluff stairs, but guests with mobility issues or small children should be aware.The location is excellent: right next to the public beach, yet with a private sandy beach directly in front. The water entry is easy and shallow for quite a distance, great for kids when the lake is calm. The outdoor setup—fire pit, hot tub, outdoor kitchen, and two hot-water outdoor showers—was perfect after beach days and family meals.Our only downside was communication with the property management company. A sprinkler issue during a rainstorm became a 24-hour process, and later service visits suggested workers were not getting the full context of our conversations. Still, it was a small blip in an otherwise wonderful stay.

Family Getaway

Thoroughly enjoyed our week at Waters Reach. The house is beautiful and was perfect for our family and infant grandson. The house was spotless on arrival and has everything you need. Literally right on the water and the views and sunsets are breathtaking. The beach in front of the house has eroded, but they built a small raised beach and South Beach is accessible just a short walk away. The walk to town is about 15-20 minutes and we did that easily everyday. Would highly recommend this house and South Haven. Thanks to the owners for sharing your lovely home!

The home was absolutely beautiful! Great location. Walking distance to downtown.

Beach access was not on property as lake levels are high, but walked to public area stairs for access, which is fairly close. House is beautiful, close to Kids Corner park w a great playground for kids. Less than a mile to walk to downtown shops and Restaurants. The home is 4 story so lots of stairs if you have older guests, but other than that it was perfect. Be prepared to buy all kitchen items (salt, pepper, Pam spray, zip lock bags, paper towel etc) as none of this is included, along w beach towels. There is a Keurig coffee maker, but not a coffee pot for a larger group. You’ll also need your own shampoo, conditioner and extra toilet paper.

Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay with us, Bill! The Water's Reach property is truly a fantastic place to gather for a family/friends beach vacation! The home is equipped with automatic blinds, that sometimes can be a little tricky if you are not use to them. I do believe we showed someone in the group how to operate with the wall plate and remote, so we hope that was helpful. We do hope that you had a great time at the home and in South Haven and hope to see you return again soon!
