WONDERFUL! Perfect place to stay!

The property is just as pictured. It's a lovely home. There are sound machines, TVs, and warm fuzzy blankets, which are wonderful finishing touches to the cozy beds. We didn't use the kitchen except the cups for coffee, but there was a nice set up. The house has a super comfy couch and games to play. The smore bar was a very nice bonus feature. The host was incredibly thoughtful and helpful with communication. I have no doubt if there was an issue during your stay that it would be taken care of very promptly. Would very much recommend this property for small groups or families.

Perfect vacation home! :)

You know it’s a good trip when one of the kids is crying because they don’t want to leave! We had the BEST time in South Haven and this house was the perfect fit for our family! Plenty of rooms and beds for our group. The location was perfect! We walked downtown probably everyday, just a couple of blocks away. The kids (and adults) loves the hot tub! And the house had tons of toys, activities and even beach chairs! One our favorite things about the house was how stocked the kitchen was! We love to cook and sometimes vacation homes just don’t have much to work with! This house had everything!! Including a snow cone maker! :) Big hit with the kids! We also really appreciated the “extras.” Like the extra trash bags, dish washer tabs, toilet paper, etc… Again, some houses only give you the bare minimum. They even had “forget-me-not” baskets in case you forgot your toothbrush, toothpaste, etc. The host was amazing and quick to respond. The kids said, “This is our favorite house ever.” Which is saying something! The house was adorable, welcoming and just what we needed to have a fun and relaxing vacation! We will definitely be back! :)

Great Place!

My girlfriends and I stayed here for a weekend and the place was adorable! Had plenty of space for all of us and was walking distance to town and beach. House was as described and the host very communicative and friendly. When I contacted him about a minor issue he immediately took action and took care of it. I would most definitely stay again and would recommend.

Warm and comfy, family friendly, close to town

We were in town for our daughters wedding and this home was just the right fit for us. We stayed for 5 nights. And could have a few extra family members to stay the night of the wedding as there were plenty of beds. And we loved how close it was to the downtown area. Everything was just as described, clean, organized, and well stocked! And the stocked coffee bar was a nice touch! We would definitely stay here again and recommend to our friends. This Would be great for families with young children as they have lots of amenities for them. Wonderful!

Perfect weekend getaway location for a family

We had 11 guests (6 adults and 5 children) gather for a summer weekend. The house had enough bedrooms and sleeping spaces for us to fit comfortably in multiple configurations. The open first floor was perfect for gathering in the morning and we spent much of our time at the house relaxing in the backyard which also has plenty of seating and shade. The location is great, straight-line walk to downtown then on to South Beach. We walked most of the time and used the wagon in the shed to haul our gear, no problem. Host is responsive and check-in/check-out were simple and easy. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect for any family or group!

This property is a gem! Walking distance to downtown and, if you’re feeling adventurous, South Beach. The owners went above and beyond to ensure an excellent stay— literally everything we could have needed was there, minus food and our personal belongings. There were special touches like bathrooms stocked with toiletries that could have been forgotten, a list of tips for the area, and indoor/outdoor toys/books/games for our kids (12-3) and adults. Communication was also super prompt and accommodating. Would definitely recommend!
