The home is nicely updated and accommodated our 8 person group well. Happy to have 5 bedrooms, plenty of group space to gather indoors and out, a well supplied kitchen and grill. Loved how close it was to activities in South Haven. Thank you.

Home was perfect for our extended family! With a bedroom on the main level and four on the second level, it was a great situation for us. The large dining room with huge table was awesome for meals and games! There was some confusion about checkout time as VRBO listed 11:00am but the owner stated 10:00 am. Be sure to bring your own beach chairs and towels and those aren't provided!

This was a great house for our family. The hosts were helpful and have done a nice job outfitting the home. The location was convenient and closer to everything than I had anticipated when looking at a map. Very easy access to downtown and the beaches.

This is a wonderful, well maintained and updated old house. The proximity to the excellent beaches near South Haven was perfect. Even though our stay was near the 4th of July holiday, we never had any issues in access to the Lake Michigan beaches, enjoying several hours on the shore over 4 days.The hosts were great communicators, even responding to a late night power outage due to a thunderstorm. A person in our group has a medical condition requiring constant use of a supporting electricity driven machine. While the machine has good battery life, it was important to have main power back quickly and Anthony responded quickly to make sure the power company was notified and the power was restored in less than 2h.We have stayed at several properties near Lake Michigan over the past 30 years and this location definitely ranks among the top 5.

Family get away

This place was great for our family beach get away. Not as close to the beach as we’d like but we had plenty of room to spread out. Great neighborhood with a small park so close for the kids to play. It had everything we needed and the host was always available for any questions. We would stay here again.
