We really loved the property. The kitchen was well equipped, and everything was spotless. There are lots of indoor and outdoor games to play and it’s a great family environment. Beds were comfortable, and since it was pretty warm during our stay, the air conditioning is very welcome.We will be back.

Lovely Home

The home was clean and spacious. It’s in a neighborhood, but felt secluded. There was plenty of room for all eight adults. Lovely

This property has all the potential to be excellent and they certainly charge a premium, so I would expect excellent. Unfortunately, a number of things fell short. The backyard had not been mowed so not able to let toddler and 5 year old run around. Garbage and recycling had not been emptied in some time, and I did call about the recycling because we had no place to put ours. They said they would bring more cans, to no avail. The Internet would not connect when we arrived. I called because we needed the Internet to run the baby monitor. They said they’d have somebody come out the next day which was unacceptable. It turned out, no one had updated the password inside the house, so the management company did get that fixed for us. I expected to have basic supplies, things like olive oil, salt, and pepper were provided. However, there was no aluminum foil. No plastic wrap, no baggies to put things in while these are not game changers. I would’ve expected these types of things again at the premium price that I feel was being charged. Finally, they need to be very explicit about beach access. I do not feel it was totally transparent or explained that you really have access to the beach but you cannot take everything down there and plant yourself as most of it is private property, so if you have a large group that could be a game changer.Nothing was egregious, but I’m not sure I can highly recommend this place. For the above reasons They do need to pay attention to some details.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you found the home to have the potential for an excellent stay, and we appreciate the opportunity our team had to assist when the Wi-Fi did not initially connect. Once the issue was identified, the correct information was provided and connectivity was restored. We’re sorry the lawn and recycling conditions did not meet expectations, and those concerns have been shared with our property team for follow-up. Regarding household supplies, vacation rentals are stocked with designated starter essentials; items such as aluminum foil, plastic wrap, and storage bags are not guaranteed amenities. We also appreciate your comments regarding beach access. Access varies throughout the South Haven area, including public and private portions of shoreline, and guests are expected to observe posted property boundaries. We will continue reviewing our listing information to ensure the access associated with this home is communicated as clearly as possible. We appreciate the detailed feedback. While we recognize that not every aspect of the stay matched your expectations, our team remains committed to accurately representing our homes, responding when concerns arise, and providing a quality experience for our guests.

This house had everything you could ask for

This is one of the best maintained properties that we've ever stayed at. Everything was really clean and the furniture and appliances were all high quality. The house was gorgeous. We mostly cooked for ourselves during the week and the kitchen had pretty much everything we needed to prepare our meals. The game room was lots of fun with an old school video game, ping pong table, corn hole, etc. I wish it was a beachfront property but it was just a 5 minute walk to the beach. We appreciated the wagon so that we could bring chairs, umbrella, etc. to the beach easily. It was also great to have 6 bicycles so that we could ride to town and get some ice cream. The house also had a really nice big TV in the lower level and so each night we would watch a movie together. Next time we go to South Haven, I would definitely consider renting this house again!

Have never felt more unwelcome by a company and neighbors of a rental property.

The house was beautiful, in an amazing location, and great size for our family group. However, from the moment we got there we felt incredibly unwelcome. Which is unfortunate when you are trying to relax on vacation, feel safe in a new location, and you spent money to be there. There are great outdoor spaces, but expect to not use anything outdoors after 10pm and still keep to a very quiet volume INSIDE the home as well. Shortly after arrival, a rental company representative was present onsite. They took recycling bin to street, but definitely felt like we were being checked on. Then neighbors were repeatedly walking up and down their driveway staring at us as well. It felt as if we were already disliked by purely renting a home in their neighborhood. The Neighbor even yelled at our kids because they got too close to his lawn. The first night we were there, a small group of older adults were up until about midnight laughing in the garage game room. I received a phone call and text to notify me that the police would be called if they received a 3rd noise complaint. At check out, as we were entering our vehicles to leave, a rental representative came and parked in the drive exactly at 10am on the dot for check out. She was very rude and we felt bullied to leave immediately. I have never been treated so poorly by a company or neighbors of a VRBO. I have also never felt so monitored on vacation. It really ruined what could have been a really great vacation.

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay, Lauren! We appreciate your comments on the home, and it's size and location. We do share our Good Neighbor Guide with all of our Guests, which is actually required by our local rental ordinance, which includes being cautious of outdoor volumes after 10pm. In regards to someone stopping by on the day of your arrival, we do have a staff member who takes trash/recycle bins to the curb on the evening prior to pickup, and then retrieves them the evening after pickup. I can assure you this individual was not "checking" on you, as we did not receive a complaint from a neighboring home until later that evening. We are sorry to hear that neighbors were staring at you, or yelled at your children if they entered the neighbors lawn. This was not reported to us until this review was published. The day of your departure was a turnover day, and our cleaning teams do arrive promptly at 10am as they have a limited amount of time to ensure the home is ready for the next Guest. Again, this is something that was not reported until this review. However, we will speak with the cleaning team to ensure they were not "rude" to any Guests. While we are sorry to hear of your experience, perhaps a home in a more "remote" location and with a larger lawn for your next stay would be better suited. Thank you again for taking the time to review your stay!

Overall was a great stay. Wonderful house, clean and exactly as described/pictured. Easy walk to the beach although there are stairs to get down to the water. We had a cold and rainy weekend so the game room was much appreciated! Also the backyard was fabulous - loved the hot tub and fire pit! A few issues we had: The listing did note beach chairs and toys but we did not find them. There was also confusion around if towels were provided (they were!) The upstairs bathroom faucet was dripping and we did let the rental agency know but it was not addressed when we were on site. The oven seemed to have a mind of its own and turned on/off at will when we were using it.

Fabulous rental

This home was so well maintained and equipped. The owners thought of everything a family would need and were super responsive to any questions. This rental gave our group plenty of privacy and lots of activities. The convenient location gave us easy access to the beach, town, and groceries.

Family vacation

This house was perfect for our family vacation. We had an age range of 20 to 90 years old and this house had everything we could ever want. Our parents enjoyed the master suite and loved the 2 outdoor patios. The young people loved the 2 minute walk to the beach, the outdoor fire pit, the garage/ping pong table and games, as well as the bikes. And as a family we all loved cooking together and gathering in the kitchen for our meals. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the pots, pans, utensils, etc that you could possibly need. The house was modern and extremely clean. The owner was very responsive to all of my questions and responded back to me within minutes. We made several trips into town which was a quick 5 minute drive. I highly recommend this home. We had an amazing week!!

This place was out of this world great!!

We all had a great time. My daughter and son and their sposes, and my 9 and 7 year old grandkids did not want to leave. The owners thought of everything to make it safe , clean and beyond comfortable. They had all kind of things for us to do at the house which we took advantage of since 3 of our 4 days there , unfortunately, were rainy. They even had a crib there for my 4 month old granddaughter!! I would stay there again and again if I could! I highly recommend staying there when you visit South Haven!!

Best Lake Michigan house for families

We had a great stay at the property. It had everything we needed and the house was like new. Loved the location too. Short walk to a quiet beach and short bike ride into town.

AMAZING STAY!

I stayed at this property for a girls trip with 12 women and it was absolutely perfect! Check-in was a breeze, with the door code very easy to use; the premises were spotless, decorated beautifully and had updated appliances! The property is a <5min walk from the beach, where we went and saw fireworks, and has many lovely outdoor spaces to enjoy the summer, including a gas gril!! Hosts were very responsive. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect Location, perfect property!

This house had everything we could ever want or need for a weekend away. Extremely clean, clearly every inch of the house has been touched in a remodel at some point and it was the perfect set up for our friends trip. The gas stove was awesome, there were so many places to sit and hang out we didn’t even use them all. The garage with the ping pong table and arcade games was a very nice touch, they had chairs for the beach and bikes to ride to town if needed. Highly recommend this house! Location was perfect, the walk to the beach access point was across the small street and 3 houses down! Absolutely the best VRBO experience we’ve had.

A perfect place for our holiday family gathering!

This place is a gem! The hosts went above and beyond and even decorated the home with a light up tree and Christmas lights! We had such an amazing time in this cute town and were incredibly comfortable in the beautiful home. We loved that our teenagers could hang out in the basement and play ping-pong in the garage while the adults could enjoy some time in the living room around the fireplace. From the firepit with provided firewood to the luxurious soaking tub, we couldn't have been happier with our stay. We highly recommend the Modern Beach Retreat and will be coming again next year :)
