We had a wonderful stay. The house is in a perfect location—close to downtown and the beach. Easy to walk to everything. The house itself is stocked with everything you could need to cook/bbq for a family(which we did many nights), spend the day at the beach or just hang out in the yard. It worked really well for our multi-generational family. We had everything we needed for our toddler granddaughter. We would definitely recommend the home for a great stay in South Haven.

Great space and even better location!

This was our third stay in South Haven with 3 families and 10 people involved. BEST PLACE YET! The house was a perfect fit for all of our needs! The location was amazing as we could shop, hit the pier and go to a movie all within minutes walking distance. Every person had their own space to get away and yet there was a huge area for everyone to gather together. Can not say enough wonderful things about the space and the communication with the owner was flawless. Highly recommend!

Great Location

My family and I had a great stay here. The house itself was great for my family of 8, with plenty of beds, a large kitchen and table, and three bathrooms each with a shower. Also, you can’t beat the location - just a short walk to the beach, town, and marina. Joan offered up lots of helpful information and made the process easy. I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting South Haven.
