Great space and even better location!

This was our third stay in South Haven with 3 families and 10 people involved. BEST PLACE YET! The house was a perfect fit for all of our needs! The location was amazing as we could shop, hit the pier and go to a movie all within minutes walking distance. Every person had their own space to get away and yet there was a huge area for everyone to gather together. Can not say enough wonderful things about the space and the communication with the owner was flawless. Highly recommend!

Great Location

My family and I had a great stay here. The house itself was great for my family of 8, with plenty of beds, a large kitchen and table, and three bathrooms each with a shower. Also, you can’t beat the location - just a short walk to the beach, town, and marina. Joan offered up lots of helpful information and made the process easy. I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting South Haven.

SOHA 2024 End of Summer Vacation

Our family had so much fun staying at this house rental for the week, kids can’t wait to come back next year. It was clean, fully furnished with amenities, kureg cups, games, beach chairs, beach umbrella and pull cart. Everything was walking distance, 5 mins into town, 10mins to south beach. 15mins to Captain Lou’s. The home came with everything we needed on site, we felt right at home. We will be back!

South Haven Home

One of the best homes we have ever rented. Location is within walking distance of everything (shopping, restaurants, harbor, beach). Neiborhood is beautiful. Home was very clean and stocked with everything needed. Kids loved the bunk room. Grill was immaculate. Can't say enough good things. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location and house design

Continue to love this house with our return visit for being close to South Beach and downtown. House is designed with great cozy spots for groups and solos that want time to themselves. There are larger homes for this price or less, but they often lack this unique combination of things.

Great family Thanksgiving!

The house was cozy and cute for our family Thanksgiving weekend. The location was fantastic; close to town and even a brisk walk on the beach. One of the bedrooms was very small and had limited closet space but the three bathrooms were appreciated. We all had a wonderful time and our granddaughter thanks you for all the toys she could play with!

Great stay!

This was a 2 day get-away for 5 women who have known each other for over 30 years. The house and location were both perfect. The house was clean and accomodating. The community areas were open and great for gathering while we each had our own room. We could easily walk to town and the beach. South Haven was perfect for a fall visit. The house was also perfect for us. Great stay! Thank you!

Lovely Home - Great Location

Our group of 11 (6 adults, 5 kids) has plenty of space in this immaculate home. It was clean and well stocked. The game area in the basement was a great space for the kids to hang out. We loved that we could walk to the shops in downtown South Haven and the beach!
