Easy walk to the beach, harbor and downtown, sleeps 6!

Easy walk to the beach, harbor and downtown!
Charming two-bedroom home with comfy sleeper couch (sleeps 6 total) overlooking the river and marina. You’ll wake to the sound of seagulls over the river and birds chirping in the woods while you enjoy your morning coffee on the screened-in porch. Walk to the beautiful public beach or stroll to the harbor and visit the new Maritime Museum. End the day with an evening walk into the charming town of South Haven for dinner, drinks, and a movie. The adjacent woods and large lot make it ideal for families, but the private location is perfect for a romantic getaway. The large master bedroom has a four-poster bed, and the full-size bathroom has a combo shower/tub. Plenty of closet space throughout. Delightful open floorplan with a breakfast bar and fully equipped kitchen to prepare the fish you caught on the North Beach pier!

Beautiful home and perfect location

the house is just fabulous - clean, spacious and amenities wonderful. The house is located close enough to downtown to walk, surrounded by park and beach. If you want to just relax the closed in porch is a great spot to kick back and read a book. Both Saugatuck and Holland are close 20-30 minute drive i travel with my large dog and it was perfect for him as well. Beautiful areas to walk your furry family members and he enjoyed the porch as well as the yard. Lisa the owner was most accommodating and responded immediately to any questions i had. i will certainly rent this property again!

Fall Getaway

Wonderful location for walking to downtown and beaches! Home is comfortable and bright. We enjoyed sitting on the screened in porch. Hosts were helpful and kind. Be aware that you need to go up a flight of stairs to enter the house. It was not an issue for us but it could be a barrier to some. We would definitely stay here again!

Great VRBO experience!

This rental is the perfect house in an ideal location,walk to beach or down town.Very clean home, with all amenities, including all starter necessities. Love the extras; wine, tea bags, lotions, shampoo, etc. Very thoughtful. We spent most of our time in the screeb room watching deer in the little creek behind the house. The only issue was the internet was spotty which meant no email or TV for several hours every afternoon during our stay. Owner was working with internet company to resolve the issue. Would definitely rent again!

Wonderful place!!

The house/cottage is in a great place!! It was actually bigger than we needed, but it was the right price and location. The owner was VERY responsive when the TV had a connection problem. My only reason for giving a 4 star is that the bed in the small room was not very supportive to my back. I did sleep well though. I would also add that this house/cottage is not handicap accessible for anyone looking for such a place. All this said, NO complaints!!

Nice location and living room

We had a family reunion in South Haven and found the living room very able to accomodate us. Master Bedroom is very large. Location is not too busy for being so close to city center. A couple of doors were hard to close, but apart from that, didn't have mechanical issues. AirCon was very nice and worked perfectly. Loved the screened porch and the grill worked just right. Bonus was that two baby fawns were born in the gully next to the house. Very cool!

The home was in a great location with a short walk to the beach and to restaurants and locations in Downtown South Haven. It was very quiet and close to city parks for exploring. Communication with the host was excellent. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in South Haven.

Great location, beautiful home, stay cut short ....

This home is located a block from Captain Lou's and only a couple blocks from the not so crowded Dyckman Beach. In a safe neighborhood, it's within walking distance from anything you need, but still feels secluded with a small creek in the back yard. Screened in porch for relaxing. Cleanliness is at a 4 just because of a couple of nails on the floor throughout the house and some dog hair. I had to leave a day early due to bedding/pillowcases being washed in a detergent that was far too strong, or too much detergent. I had a headache, burning eyes and itching from it. The bed was also lumpy, so between the two sleeping was difficult. Both are easy fixes with less, or a milder, detergent and some foam egg carton toppers. Everything else was a breeze, as described and provided for, would definitely stay again if I knew the bedding situation was resolved!!
