Wonderful stay

We enjoyed the quiet street and proximity to the beach and playground. The house was updated and clean. The kids enjoyed the bunk beds and we found the beds to be comfortable. It had everything we needed for a family of four. We’d rent here again!

Walk to the beach!

Clean house and very comfortable. All of the beds were really nice and bedding was super soft! The kids loved the bunk bed and the wagon we used to walk to the beach. We had a lovely time and enjoyed our stay.

Our South Haven vacation

This was a great property. Perfectly sized for the size of our family. Our only challenge was only one bathroom for 5 adults. But we managed. I wanted to use the gas grill but the gas was empty. I purchased a gas refill for about 35 dollars.

Good, but there is room for improvement.

The cosmetic home improvement was lovely and on trend! It was nice to have a laundry area to use as well as beach accessories like chairs, umbrella, wagon, etc. The outdoor deck and patio were very accomodating however, we weren't able to get the gas fire feature to work. The downside.....the front bedroom (across from the bathroom) had a broken leg on the bedframe. The major crack in the driveway was a safety hazard. Three people in our party required treatment after getting into/out of our vehicle. Also, a second bathroom would be nice but it looked like that is something that may be in the works in the basement. It also would have been nice to be able to control the thermostat instead of being controlled remotely. The frontdoor security lock was challenging and we could have used simple instructions on how to use. All in all, we enjoyed South Haven and appreciated the quick response when we called about the AC thermostat. Thank you!

Great house for a family vacation!

House was updated and perfect for the 4 of us! Had everything we needed and more! Having a wagon/beach chairs/umbrella to use was so nice so you don’t have to pack! We were able to walk to the beach so that was wonderful! We would love to stay again!
