  Whether you’re taking a family trip or getting away with friends, this house is perfect. It’s in a great location, close to both the downtown area and beach. We were especially pleased with how clean and spacious it was. I highly recommend this property.

  I had a wonderful retreat at Soft Landing. The house was spacious, clean and clutter free. So close to the beach and walking or biking distance to downtown. I very much enjoyed barbecuing and having a fire pit in the backyard. There were so many cute personal touches that really made me feel at home right away. The house had everything I needed and more, including movies and books to browse, original artwork, and a shed full of bikes, coolers and games. I can't say enough wonderful things about this place. Perfect for a family trip, a couples vacation, or a solo retreat. Things like a very fun game called "hide the dollar" in the guest book show the fun personalities of the charming homeowners, Shannon and Mark. I will be back again soon.

  We rented in the summer and this house was much nicer than I expected. It really is a cool place to stay. The decor is nice and the entire house was spotless. The master suite was like a four star hotel. The house is about a 3 minute walk to the beach, which is where we spend half the time. We also enjoyed walking downtown nearly every day during our trip. Our 4 year old made there and back with no trouble. After dusk the backyard fire pit was like going camping, but instead of a tent we had a nice air conditioned cottage to sleep in. We enjoyed it so much we rented again for a weekend in the winter. Surprisingly the town was still lively, and we had unseasonably warm temps for a few strolls on the beach. There was a lot of drift wood to be found this time of year. We have already booked again for the upcoming summer and we expect the Soft Landing to be on our vacation roster for years to come. My wife and I hope to make it without the children some weekend. The restaurants and wine bars look like they would be a lot of fun after 9:00 PM. One last thing. For those in Metro Detroit: South Haven is a gem and there is hardly any traffic returning home on a Sunday, unlike visits up north.

  Love this place! It is the perfect place for a family vacation. It had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Very clean and very well appointed. My family loved walking to the Oak Street Beach and into the downtown. I love the décor. A tranquil & creative space. We have stayed here twice and can’t wait for our next trip.

  This spot is indeed a soft landing. Beautifully decorated. Peaceful and set a bit away from the bustle but close enough to walk to the best parts of South Haven. We appreciated that the owners thought ahead about all their guests would need. My son loved the bunkbeds and we enjoyed the coziness of the livingroom fireplace. Our dog Ollie was thrilled to join us on our many beach excursions. So nice to find a place of this quality that permits pets! The recycled window artwork (painted by the owner) was also really great. We bought one to take home! Everything was so well kept and the back deck will be great for a summer visit. We can't wait to come back in the warmer weather!
