Great area house and HOST
Our trip did not go as planned but this home, its location, Christmas decorations and the host were exceptional and made our shortened vacation very memorable. Unfortunately now i have to buy a ping pong rable for my daughter since she turns out to be a natural. 5 🌟

Beautiful house w/ view of Lake Michigan
We so enjoyed our stay here. The house was beautiful and the host was very helpful and had truly thought of everything. The kitchen was very well appointed with enough dishes for a large group. The beds were comfortable with very nice linens. Plenty of space for our group of 13. The house is well located with a view of the lake. We would love to come back in the summer when we can enjoy both the lake and the pool.

Location, Location Location
To be able to sit on the porch and watch the sun set over Lake Michigan or to take a few steps and be on the sand and see the sun set is bliss. To walk to the coffee shop in the morning or Kilwin's in the afternoon is wonderful. We shared meals on the porch, in the dining room and by the fire pit. We swam in the pool, read books on the rooftop, and the kids did the little rollercoaster Marta had for them. I think we did it all. It's a wonderful home in a great location. And Marta has indeed thought of everything to make the stay one you will remember for a very long time. Thank you.

Amazing home and location!
When you walk through the gate, it's almost as if you are walking in to your own personal oasis. Walk past the pool and pool house with a ping pong table and roof top views, to the adorable cottages, past the large water fountain and you arrive at the beautiful home that seems to never end and find wine, chocolates, specialty cheeses and more waiting for you on the large kitchen island and in the refrigerator. My husband and I spent the weekend there with all of our kids/grandkids. It was the first time we had all been together for more than a few hours, and this property was the perfect location for all of us to relax, unwind, and reconnect. A short walk across the street is a park with access the Lake Michigan, where we took family pictures. South Haven is a walkable distance but we decided to experience even more of it on the bicycles provided. There are pool toys, toys for the smaller kids, games, and a large family/living room where we would all gather and play Jack Box games. Our dog fell in love with sitting on the expansive front porch, just watching people...and other dogs...going by. Truly- felt like home quickly. Marta was a great communicator, made the check in/our process super easy. She is fantastic to work with!

Beautiful!
The home is spectacular. Original art everywhere you look and ample, comfortable and stylish furnishings. Marta's attention to detail is amazing. EVERYTHING you need is at the house. A morning swim in the lake, an afternoon reading on the porch, an evening dip in the pool. Cook in the well-appointed kitchen or order take-out from a myriad of neighborhood restaurants. We had such a grand time.

About the host

Hosted by Marta Petter

Host profile image
This is one of several properties I have remodeled. 90 Avery Street- The Sailview House on North Beach South Haven in the 1990's. The Bay in Saugatuck in 2011-12 and this wonderful property in a town I frequented when young. Grew up in a household that believed in creating value of old properties and remodeling instead of tearing down.
Also grew up in an art gallery business so appreciate art and design. And had a smattering of jobs in advertising and marketing with big brands in Chicago in my past. Once had a restaurant called Marta's Vineyard so kind of a chefette too!
I run my own properties and treat you like my guests - not just a rental company.

Why they chose this property

This house was originally built in early 1900's and has great structure. It is large beautiful home with special views and access to Lake Michigan beach. With thick plaster walls, high ceilings and now walls of windows it is an upscale house at the beach.

What makes this property unique

Across from Packard Park with 300 feet of beach. This house and cottage sits on two City blocks with patios, yards and space. And it is a quick stroll to downtown.
