Fantastic family beach vacation

Our three generation family spent a wonderful week at this lovely renovated beach house. It’s a short block to both the beach and the river. It’s well laid out with plenty of seating and very well provisioned with cleaning supplies, paper products dish ware, games, and toys. The owner was very thoughtful and responsive. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful property. Incredible location. The pictures don’t do it justice this property has everything you need. We had the best family getaway. We enjoyed morning walks to the beach, coffee on the back porch and sunset views on the front porch. This property is close to everything. You can walk to the beach and to town in minutes. We’ve been coming to South Haven for years and this was by far our favorite stay!

Family Time

It was a wonderful location, close to everything and yet quiet. We had plenty of room for our 5 adults and two children. We loved how easy it was to get to the beach and appreciated the beach chairs and sand toys. The kitchen had what we needed to cook and loved having a grill and large deck with a table.

Short walk to North Beach

This home is absolutely beautiful, even better than the pictures! Home had been recently remodeled. The decor is fresh and cozy. No expense was spared. Bedding was luxurious. House was very well supplied with everything we needed from beach chairs to zip lock bags. Our group of nine adults had plenty of space for sleeping or just lounging around watching TV. The large farm house table fit our group comfortably plus there was another big table on the afternoon-shaded back deck. The 1 block walk to the beach was very convenient! We will definitely rent this wonderful home again!

After family vacations to FL and SC we decided to try South Haven MI. We absolutely loved it! Our house was perfect and a great location, just 1 block from the beach. We were able to walk everywhere and really enjoyed the cooler temps and beautiful beach! The Oakland house was well equipped and the owner was very responsive to our questions and requests. We will definitely go back!

Perfect in every way!

Great stay that exceeded our expectations in every way! Location was great, short walk to beach that was easily made multiple times each day, close to playground, ice cream snack shop, bundes bakery, and even a back up ice cream shop after the beach one closed was easily walked by our kids ranging from 3-14. (Ice cream is a priority!) Great family beach that wasn’t crowded even during peak week. The house was pristine, like new inside, and was stocked with everything - EVERYTHING! Toys, books, everything you could need for the beach including life vests which we forgot! Cot was clutch for our family sleeping arrangements and easily set up with sheets easily found. Dining table fit all 10 of us! Quiet area in the evenings. Parking was steps from back door. Communications were clear and concise and hosts exceptionally accommodating. Will definitely be first in the list when looking to go back to South Haven!
