What a great experience and just a cute house! Our host was amazing, and we communicated almost every day! It felt like a taste of home and a Greta visit to one of my favorite childhood towns. Given the opportunity, we would so happily come back! I would highly recommend this property to anyone. Thank you for making a cozy place for this old thin blooded Floridian!

This was a great house for our family which included 2 adults and 2 kids (ages 5 & 2). My 5 year old loved the bunk bed room and a pack and play fit well in the other bedroom for my 2 year old. All beds were comfortable. The house was very clean and had all of the necessities for our stay. We had more than enough room and you could easily have more people in the house. The location was great to be able to go to the beach and downtown. I wouldn’t want to stay further from the beach than this street as it did get a bit far on the way back hauling a wagon with kids and a wagon with beach items when it was hot. The house included a beach wagon and plenty of beach chairs which were a lifesaver! There was also an umbrella but we brought our own. There are also plenty of bikes and beach toys that you are able to use. The little house in the back yard is really cute and a great play area for kids. There were also some games and kids books in the house. We were there for the blueberry festival and watched the parade that went right by the house. We would definitely stay here again!

Had a great stay with our children and their spouses. The house is roomy, tidy and nicely decorated. We had plenty of space to gather indoors or outdoors for fun family time. We walked to the beach everyday and again in the evening for the beautiful South Haven sunsets! The neighborhood is great and the few blocks walk to the beach was safe and lovely. The house had everything we needed and didn't feel at all like a hotel or a modern staged rental home. The owners communication was the best I have experienced and we felt right at home. Thanks so much! The whole family loved it and we hope to book this place again for future family vacations. This property is a gem!

This was our second stay here. It is a great little place for a few days. The upstairs is not central air so leaving doors open at night is helpful. The kids enjoyed the play house and basketball. The outside shower is nice for rinsing everyone off.

Perfect Location

Our stay was perfect for all the ages. The house had everything we needed and more. The thoughtfulness of items was appreciated from the kids step stool for the bathroom sink to bikes and beach wagon. The amount of bath and kitchen towels was great and the quality excellent. The playhouse and fenced backyard kept the kids busy and safe. The kids park was easy walking distance and a very nice park. I personally loved the older home. The built in bookcases, squeaky floors and unexpected cabinets. The house was clean, fresh and relaxing.

Very cute home, clean, comfortable beds and beautiful outdoor areas. The grounds are manicured and everything was in bloom and beautiful. The proximity to the beach was great- just a few blocks down.

Great Lakehouse

We enjoyed our stay in South Haven at this property. We were 4 adults and 2 children ages 6 and 8. The kids enjoyed the playhouse and the basketball hoop. The adults appreciated the backyard with the fire pit and the lovely outdoot patio. Beach access was only a few blocks away. Nice house and nice location.

Family Vacay

My family and I finally got a chance to visit South Haven again as we used to ever summer 20+ years ago. This was the perfect house and location! Inside of the home was very clean and just enough room to feel comfortable and meet our needs (bedrooms/baths). The outside area we mostly occupied since the weather was beautiful. The patio was huge and had very comfy seating. The fire pit area was also great and especially the adorable little house with so many cute toys to keep my kids occupied. Definitely recommend this lake house! Oh and we brought our own bikes, but they had so many to choose from too. Another great plus! We hope to be back soon!
