Best Vacation in South Haven

We had the best time at this gem of a house. It was clean, comfortable, fully equipped and on a very quiet street. The location couldn’t be better. It was a short walk to the beach and evening sunsets. The host was great with communication, both before and during our stay. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Excellent rental

Our family (4 adults and 3 small children) have rented this property for a number of years. The house is very nice and the neighborhood is lovely. Proximity to Kids' Corner (playground) and the blue stairs (beach access) is priceless. Town is a couple of minutes drive away but also very walkable. Cora the property manager is wonderful. We will be back!

Great trip to South Haven

We had a great trip to South Haven during the Fourth of July week. We could easily walk to Kids Corner and the Beach from this house's location which was especially convenient for viewing the fireworks too! The back porch was great for meals and the house had everything we needed.

Amazing!!!

First things first.The house is absolutely wonderful. The house details listed were very accurate. It had enough space to accommodate four people very comfortably. The beds were comfortable- and with someone who has chronic back pain and sciatic nerve problems, the beds allowed for a restful night. The neighborhood is extremely quiet. Cora -our host, was absolutely amazing when it came to communication. Check-in /Check-out was great. We will definitely be back.

Great Location in South Haven

This house just needs a few enhancements to make it spectacular. The host was very accommodating and easy to contact, but there were a few amenities lacking. (like a hair dryer) It was a little off-putting to be informed that there would be a charge forusing and not washing the beach towels

Girls Fall Weekend Getaway!

Cora’s home accommodated our group of 7 ladies beautifully for a much needed weekend getaway! Sleeping accommodations were great! House was very clean and comfortable and we loved that the kitchen table was large enough for all of us to sit around to play games and cards. We also loved how you could walk to Lake Michigan, and downtown (even though we chose to drive-(we are all in our 60s and the knees aren’t as great as they used to be!). We had a wonderful time! The weather was amazing, the fall colors were brilliant, and the sunsets over Lake Michigan were spectacular! Cora was a wonderful and accommodating host! Would definitely return!

We had an enjoyable time at this property. There was plenty of space(5 adults, 3 littles), it was well-stocked and comfortable, and close enough to the playground and beach for memorable walks each day. Cora and her husband were responded quickly to a minor issue and all was well. We loved South Haven —such a great family setting! For

Beautiful home and great location

This home is absolutely beautiful! Very clean and well maintained. It had everything you’d need (except a blow dryer and bath soap). The decks (yes, 2 decks) were so nice to sit on in the evenings. There is a nicely finished basement. The lake is just a short walk from the house along with a very nice park for kids. I would definitely stay here again!!
