My sister and I stayed here for three nights and it was fabulous! Highly recommend! This home was so clean, decorated very cute, and in a great neighborhood. Close to shopping, dining and the beach and also far enough away from the hustle and bustle. We will be booking again!

Fourth of July

South haven put together a beautiful celebration with outstanding fireworks, an adorable community parade downtown, and many other events. A lot of walking so be prepared. Local food was tremendous, lots of shopping options, and beautiful north or south beaches to venture along with their piers and boat tours!! My kids and I wished we could stay longer, such a joy.

Cute, cozy, clean & comfortable...

This was my 5-year-old's first official vacation and she was over the moon from the moment she walked in the door. This cottage checked all the boxes. It was cozy, charming, clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals and the grill fired up easily for the brats. Even the neighbor introduced herself. We never contacted our host because everything we needed was already provided. Thank you for making our family vacation so special!

Neat and clean, easy to find.Loved the bag of ice in the freezer. Would recommend fixing the drawer in bathroom that won't stay closed. Two of us have knee problems and had to be careful not to get hurt on it.Previous stay at a different VRBO had a guest book to see other visitor comments and recommended places to visit locally. Would recommend something similar for this location. We missed that here.

Great stay!

We were really impressed with the property! The location is close enough to everything that it doesn’t feel like too burdensome of a drive, but far enough away that it’s not overwhelming! Any issues we had we promptly addressed and taken care of! The only “issue” we had was of the photos on Vrbo. They’re pretty old and don’t show the property off enough!
