Awesome location for a family of 4 with two small children. Very close to downtown, an awesome children’s playground, and the beach. House was much bigger than expected which was a pleasant surprise. Stairs were a little tricky with our curious toddler but we made it work. Host was very responsive the morning of check out when we had a little hiccup. Would definitely stay again!

The cute house was very clean. The bunkbeds are sized for children so very uncomfortable for adults.The hot water didn't work in one of the showers and no one replied when we told them. The two porches were very enjoyable.

Great Location and Space

The location is great. Within walking distance to the beach/kids corner and downtown. The home was as described. As another reviewer noted, the bunk room has a high window that lets in evening light keeping the room very bright until dusk, something to be aware of if you have young children. Otherwise the place is great, all kitchen items we would need and plenty of seating and rooms and space for our family.

Great

We picked this because we saw online that this place had some kid friendly features and it did. From the bunkers, kid toys and games, kid silverware and cups and even a high chair. Definitely would recommend for someone with little kids. The negative thing is the grill didn’t have propane but I messaged the owner and they brought some.

Nice!

Overall, the property is very good. The storm door had issues with sticking closed and very hard to open. There is a bedroom and a bathroom on the first floor and two bedrooms on the second floor. The child’s bedroom was very warm last night. The house was very clean. Parking was very easy. It is walkable to the lake and downtown South Haven. Overall very good.

We had a great time over the long weekend. The weather was cool, so we made a fire in the fire pit and spent a lot of time on the sun porch. Very comfortable stay. Thank you!

The house was nice and clean. Wish the check in was earlier than 4:00. At first we could not find the code to check in and I contacted the host and she never got back to me. But overall our stay was great.

At The Beach

The premises were comfortable. Everything worked and if there were any problems the owners took care of it immediately. The only suggestion we could make was more baskets in downstairs bathroom and bedrooms and more hangers in downstairs bedroom. We enjoyed our stay and the facility was close to downtown and the beaches. Thank you for providing a comfortable place to stay. Cheryl

Good house

Overall, we had a great time. One thing could be improved, thought. The children's room (with bunk beds) has a super-high window with no covering on it, meaning it was bright in there till after sunset. Our kids go to bed by 8, so that was an urgent problem for us. Another less-than-ideal issue was the distance to beach and downtown was a bit farther than the listing suggested. Little kids could never make it to the beach on foot. Finally, the neighborhood was fine, but not attractive. This may not matter to anyone. Otherwise the listing earned its overall 5-star rating.
