Well Appointed and Close to the Beach

I rented the beach house for my best friend’s 50th birthday this past weekend and we all loved our stay! The beds were super comfortable and the house was spacious. We loved hanging out on the back deck and my friend’s dog felt right at home. We are already talking about when we can come back!

Family getaway after father's hospitalization and deathh

We loved the backyard and playhouse though its windows were very dirty. The deck was great for eating and grilling for the most part though we had some issues with allergies and some fluffy seeds everywhere. The house was very clean and the kitchen well equipped. The basement smelled very musty. We enjoyed the close proximity to the lake. Thank you for answering your texts+

Wonderful place to stay in South Haven

We had a wonderful stay at this location. It easily accommodated our very large family. The house was very conveniently and centrally located in the area, so everywhere we wanted to go was within 5-10 minutes. Beautiful neighborhood and yard, and all of the amenities were great and as advertised. The owner was great and made everything about our stay effortless. Would definitely recommend, and would definitely come back again.

Fabulous vacation at Coastal Playhouse!

Our family recently enjoyed a fabulous vacation at Coastal Playhouse in South Haven; Michigan! The beautiful and well-appointed home exceeded every expectation. The kitchen was well equipped to facilitate many home-cooked meals for our family which meant more time together and helped avoid crowded restaurants. The backyard was beautiful, and the blooming hydrangeas were breathtaking! Location to pubic beach access was a very short walk. Sally was wonderful to work with and extremely responsive.

We had a great time staying here for a weekend for our wedding nearby. The house is beautiful, backyard is big with large patio, plenty of space to hang out and eat and enjoy the weather. Large driveway if people come over for dinner. Very short walk to public beach access. We wanted to move in !

Amazing place - would stay here again and again!

Sally’s place was amazing. Enough space to accommodate 11 people + 3 dogs. There were games that we all could play. The kitchen was completely equipped to prepare / cook any food we’d like. Bedrooms were comfortable. The public beach is 2 minute walk away, and the sunset was absolutely gorgeous. During our stay, the entire South Michigan region experienced a power outage but Sally was very responsive. We would stay here again when we visit the area next time!

Quiet, relaxing with a short walk to things to do.

Clean, lots of space, lovely backyard, quiet neighborhood, kid friendly and pet friendly. Helpful directions in the home to understand lighting and how things work. Lake Michigan right across the street, beach options and downtown within walking/driving distance. Whichever you prefer.
