September Summer Weekend

We really enjoyed our stay. The property was a short drive to the beaches in South Haven and a short walk or drive to the beach at the state park. The pool was very relaxing after after a long day spent on the beach and a nice play to unwind. The kids enjoyed staying in the bedrooms in the basement away from Mom and Dad. We had a wonderful time and look forward to our next trip.
Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024

The place was great. Used the pool a ton. Inside space was nicely decorated. Shame about the no washing machine but overall the stay was good. South Haven a very short drive away.

Great place for a family gathering

We stayed at Poolside Paradise during a family reunion to South Haven. The inside of the house was immaculate, and the kitchen amenities were excellent. The attached two-car garage was very useful as a covered gathering place to serve dinner on "our night to cook" for the extended family. The kids loved the pool and played hide and seek in the yard. The entire family enjoyed the Solo Stove fire pit. My husband and son enjoyed easy access to hiking. The drive into South Haven and the beach was 10-15 minutes. If we return to South Haven, I would rent Poolside Paradise again.

Perfect for our family of 5

We loved the renovations! The home was very clean and cozy. The attention to detail did not go unnoticed. We enjoyed hours of each day in the pool and made use of the provided pool toys/floaties. The pool area is fenced and latched for added safety, which was a must for our young kids. The home is also equipped with ADT home security. Thank you for an enjoyable vacation! No washer or dryer, but easy to pack extra clothes. Would recommend staying here.

Beautiful home!

We stayed for a long weekend in July and everything was lovely. The home and property was extremely clean, well-appointed and very comfortable. Having 2 bedrooms and living space on each floor allowed people to relax and chat on one while not disturbing others. The pool and firepit were pluses, and it was an short drive to South Haven and the local beaches. Highly recommended!

Great Home!

I rented this property for a summer weekend getaway with my cousins and it was a blast. The home is well kept, clean, and nicely decorated with lots of space. We would definitely rent this space again.
