Big house. In need of remodeling and deep cleaning.

The house is big with big rooms. Nice new refrigerator. Clean kitchen. The bathrooms were clean, nice towels. The bathroom in the primary has an unfinished floor, the toilet kept running and there is not a real door. The door for the main bathroom is tricky, got locked in, don't recommend closing it all the way. The carpeting throughout the house needs deep cleaning, numerous stains in every room. Big windows haven't been washed in a very long time. Called the 800 number to see if someone could fix the toilet, had a really difficult time understanding the women on the other end. Wish there was someone locally we could have talked to. They did send someone to repair it while we were away, but it went out again. Had a lot of trouble getting the main door to lock. Pretty sure we will never use Vrbo or Vacasa in the future..

Would not recommend until lock is fixed.

I was very upset that no one informed us of a HUGE security concern… the back patio door didn’t lock. The carpet was filthy, but looked like they planned on replacing it with lvt. The lock on the back patio door was broken/ not functioning. The staff claimed they didn’t know this but tried to reassure us because there was a “secondary wooden rod” to help “secure” the door. If they didn’t know the door lock was broken… does that mean Vacasa doesn’t require staff to ensure all the exterior doors LOCK… BEFORE allowing guests to stay? Additionally, the master bed is NOT a queen.. so false advertising there. And the bed was extremely stiff. The neighbors make you uncomfortable by staring at you anytime you’re outside and the next door neighbor literally has a sign that says “neighborhoods need more neighbors”… other than that the house was okay for the purpose we needed it for. But definitely overpaid for the quality/ overall very dated state of the home.

Perfect for family trip!

This home was perfect for our weekend getaway to South Haven! Things I loved: - Smart TV with ability to login to streaming services - Very clean upon arrival - Very close to the beach and Kid's Corner playground (3ish minute drive) - Ability to do do laundry while on site (I brought my own tide pods) - Kitchen with pots, pans, baking sheets, coffee pot, toaster - Cooler in case of a beach trip - The ability to grill and eat outside - 2 dog food bowls and 2 water bowls! - Very comfy couch that fit all 5 of us - Space for the kids to run around in the backyard Things I'd bring next time and/or reccomend the host provide: - My own plates and cups for small kids/toddlers - Salt and pepper for cooking (would also reccomend host stock) - there were some spices, but no salt. - Extra kitchen trash bags - Lighter or matches - Beach towels

Nice quiet house.

I was glad to park in a garage to avoid the acorns and walnuts falling on my vehicle. Overall it’s a very nice house. Nice outdoor patio. Our dog loved watching the squirrels!

Great Place!

We stayed here for a wedding in Oct 2023 and had a great time! Location was perfect for us and check-in and check-out were easy and we had no issues at all during our stay.

Tons of space. Great living room and kitchen. WiFi was strong! House was clean. Needs some new blinds in part of house. One room with a King bed would also be good.

Awesome Home!

Such a large home, pictures don’t do it justice. Comfortable and very clean! We loved our stay and so did our little miniature dachshund who loved running around the house. 😊 We hope to stay again next year!

Comfort. Charm. Worked perfect.

House was very clean. You can see that when built, it was built with quality and has been loved and cared for. Very comfortable (minus one mattress) and met all of our needs. Nice neighborhood. 3 min drive to downtown and beach. Very charming overall.

cute house in South Haven

House is exactly as pictured. Bed were comfortable. Very spacious - room to spread out. The patio was nice for morning coffee. We did not use the kitchen as we spent most of our days visiting the beach and downtown area, short drive to both. (I booked a VRBO instead of a hotel in the event of rain. Did not want to be cooped up in a hotel room if it rained)

Perfect House

Accommodations were just as described! It was just the two of us staying but really a whole family would be super comfortable. Close to town and only a mile from the beach. Only complaint was a surprise visit from someone in the backyard watering the plants. We weren’t expecting that, lol. Other than that we’d definitely stay again.

Lovely, comfortable, spacious, and clean home. We enjoyed cooking meals, hanging out in the family room, and outside on the patio. Great location just minutes from the beach.
