Great location and outdoor area

We had our family girls trip here and lived the location and outdoor area. The home could use some updates but we had what we needed.

South Haven Cottage

Lou communicated well throughout the reservation process and during the stay. We had no issues during our stay and felt like we got a great value for the price we paid. The property is older and shows signs of age but that should not discourage you from staying. It is a perfect location within walking distance to the beach, to town, and just a generally great neighborhood to walk. The yard is fantastic and we spent every evening playing cornhole and having a fire. The beds were comfortable, water pressure was fantastic, and the water quality was good and soft. The fridge has plenty of room and the ice maker works great. Lou's property has everything you need to make it a fantastic vacation! Thank you Lou! We hope to return next year!!! My only complaints (and they are small) The bathroom needs a fan as it gets very steamy and has no ventilation. There are no extra towels or washcloths so plan to bring along some laundry soap and wash towels mid vacation. There are no lawn games nor beach supplies. Not a huge deal but plan to bring all of those items yourself.

Excellent beach vacation!

We had so much fun during our trip. The house is great, and has an excellent location just a couple of minutes walk from Oak Beach on the north side of South Haven. Quiet neighborhood, close to all amenities. Lou is a very thoughtful host! We will definitely be back here for our next South Haven trip as a family.

About the host

Hosted by Lou Price

I was raised in South Haven and still consider it "home". This rental is my childhood home that I plan on retiring to. I teach drama, communications, and public speaking. As well as direct plays and musicals at school and at public theater. I am active in the theater as a volunteer. And am often seen onstage at the Kalamazoo Civic Theater, Kindleberger Summer Festival, and Farmers Alley. I also have a few local commercials.

You will often see Kim and I in South Haven to visit the Oak Street Beach and do the yard work at the house. Often we will have my grandsons with us. If there are no grand-kids, we may ride my motorcycle in..

Why they chose this property

This was my childhood home. We grew up on the beach and living in the big side yard playing football, basketball and having many family gatherings. I am still here as often as possible with my girlfriend and grandsons. Since I can't be here all the time I am sharing it with you until I can retire..
