Our girls weekend was great and your place was perfect for us. The layout of the cottage and the property was good for sleeping and the view of the woods was so nice & relaxing. We hope to come again sometime. The flip flop decorations are really unique. We had a great time. Thank you so much.

The Bunco Babes had a fabulous stay in your house, everything was perfect! The Dunes and the Midweat Ocean (haha) are amazing and we burned off lots of calories walking up the hills. South Haven is gorgeous, we loved the food at Tellos! ice cream at Kilwin's, and food at SuCasa and Clementines was wonderful!

We wanted to thank you very much for a great relaxing week-end. Your home is so cozy, it's just what the doctor ordered. The photos online don't do it justice, your home bypassed our expectations. Thank you so much, can't wait to come again. Thanks!

Your place was exactly what the doctor ordered -- rest, relaxation, and fun in the sun! Our daughters had a blast on the dunes, clean beaches, and hammock! We had fun with rolling waves, rock hunts, hot dunes (wear shoes), and sandy shores. Thank you for offering your home! We had a blast!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at your lake house! The house was clean and fully supplied with anything we needed. Our children and grandchildren made some wonderful memories around the campfire and also down by the beach. The stars at night are amazing and we saw a few shooting stars as well. We already can't wait to come back next year. Thank you for your hospitality!

It is my first time here, but my daughter's family has come the last 4 summers. It has become a family tradition for them! They love it here. Your two cottages are so well-supplied and cleverly decorated. The flip-flops on the walls are especially creative! Blue Lake Michigan, White caps crashing on the beach, Peaceful South Haven.

Lifetime Memory

Guest: Karen D. (Indianapolis, IN)
Date of Stay: 07/22/11 Review Submitted: 08/02/11

Our "Four Generation Vacation" was made perfect by this beautiful, secluded property with all the amenities of home. The house and guest house were immaculate and all we had to add was food and beach towels. The nearly private beach was a short walk away and was clean and pristine. The large areas for people to gather for meals and movies were fun. We kept a fire going in the outdoor firepit and sat around itin the evening sharing family stories. Everyone from my 86 year old parent to my 15 month on grandson had a great time. My children and husband want me to rent this property again next year, and that sounds like a great idea. The Grand Haven shops on Phoenix Street were attractive and fun, and places to buy groceries and fresh produce were very handy 5-10 minute drive away. This is a perfect setting for a family vacation with plenty of room to get together and plenty of space for that needed privacy at times. I look forward to going back.

Memories for a Lifetime

Guest: Karen D. (Indianapolis, IN)
Date of Stay: 07/22/11 Review Submitted: 07/30/11

The cottage, guest house, and amenities exceeded our expectations. The memories of our "Four Generation Vacation" will last a lifetime. The large dining table, spacious sitting areas, and open fire pit were wonderful places to gather. The nearly private beach, sand, and water were enjoyed by all from my 86 year old parents to our toddler grandson. South Haven is a quaint town at which we enjoyed walking to the lighthouse and visiting the many shops along Phoenix Street. My children want us to rent this Dune Daze property again next year--and I agree that is a splendid idea.

The cottage is wonderful, and we loved it very much. Our parents came all the way from Quebec. Montreal and it was perfect with the extra place. South Haven, St. Joseph and the other towns are wonderful. It makes us want to find a place of our own here someday. We got a couple of good days on the beach and found some great beach glass, even with the colder weather. We actually had a 40 degree difference in a couple of days. We will definately try to be back again next year. Thank you

This was our first year here but hopefully not our last. We had a wonderful week, the weather was great and the beach was fantastic....Even though I was only here for a week, I admit I've fallen in love with your hammock. Dune Daze has inspired me to invest in one!

From the campfires outside to the quiet, private beach to the cute shops downtown, everything was wonderful! This was our first family vacation in years and we intend to make it an annual traadition from here on out. The cabin felt like home from the first night we arrived. The two year oldd twin goys traveling with us couldn't get enough sand in their ears to last them a year,, but they got close! Thank you for allowoing us to create some great memories and some hilarious fun times!

Another year at Dune Daze and it has been just as great as the last years. We revisited old favorites and found some new spots as well. We keep on coming back and next year will be no exception. The beach is beautiful, the cottage is cozy, and the town is entertaining. Thank you for having us back.

We all fell in love with the cottage immediately. So pretty and decorated perfectly! Right on que, an unbelievable snow storm started up on New Year's Eve night. It really picked up on New Year's Day and we all estimated the total at around 20 inches! Lake effect snow! We hiked the dunes anad went skiing at Timber Ridge. The whole trip was perfect. Thank you so much! Everytime I think about a new pair of sandals, I'll think about Dune Daze! Thanks for the memories!

The cottage was everything we were hoping for and we had a wonderful weekend re-connecting with friends. The atmosphere lends itself to laid back days and cozy nights by the fireplace. The weather Saturday was wicked cold, but that made us feel very adventurous on our walk to the lake! Thank you for providing such a beautiful place to get away from it all!
