Great location for family time and fun!

Check in snafu was quickly handled and we were happy to find a clean and comfy place to stay with our 16 month old, my daughter and son in law. It was close to town and very close to beaches that we could access by walking or driving and parking in pay lots. The downstairs bedroom/bathroom was below grade but clean and ready to use. We also enjoyed the backyard patio. Kitchen had all we needed to take care of our little guy and make a few meals. Thanks for the great family time in this cute home!

Family Getaway

We love to vacation in South Haven and “unplug”for the week. (However, the house has great wifi if you need it.) The house was in the perfect location and included all of the necessary amenities. We cook most of our meals and were happy to find a well supplied kitchen, a quality charcoal grill, and nice working appliances. The house is also much larger than it appears. The owners were responsive and kind. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We really enjoyed our stay!

Great stay within walking distance to the beach

We had a great stay. Our family along with grandparents spent the week. Furnishings were comfortable, there was plenty of room for everyone. Kitchen and dining room were great! Guests should be mindful the house is on a septic and should only use single ply TP. We brought DVDs to watch some movies, we are old school, I guess. However the DVD may be getting old as it did not seem to work with all the DVDs. Such a minor thing, really. The walk to each beach access point was so short and easy. We played at the beach during the day and went back for sunsets every evening.

My family really enjoyed this property. Its homey, has many beds for flexibility in our sleeping arrangement, the dining table was large and paired with the kitchen counter could accommodate all of us for our family meals. We appreciated the space for relaxing and loved how easy and close it was to walk to the beach access. I would definitely consider staying here again!

Absolutely amazing experience. Close to the beach and downtown and was able to walk everywhere. House was super clean and the setup made it easy for all of us to hang out together and not be in separate rooms. Would strongly recommend and already planning another visit at this same location next year. The host made it very easy and communicated everything we needed. They were available when I reached out and made the process seamless. Highly recommend 100 out of 10. Thank you so much for the amazing opportunity to stay here.

The IDEAL getaway for large families and groups of friends.

Vacation Fun at Anton Rental Cottage

We enjoyed our stay very much! It is a nice location and the house was very clean. Having beaches so close and the downtown area close, was a big plus. The main downside is probably the basement. Although it was very clean, it was very cold, and no one really enjoyed sleeping there. Comments were that the mattress in the basement was uncomfortable. We thought maybe a space heater in the basement would be good, but that may be too risky if people are not careful. In the front bedrooms, the pillows were not the most comfortable, but we think from now on, no matter where we rent, we will bring our own pillows. We also thought there might need to be an update with some of the kitchen pans, especially the non-stick ones. Also, we think some non-stick spatulas would be good so the pans do not get scratched up. Actually. we ate quite a few meals out, so it wasn't a big deal . Even though the cottage and furnishings are a bit dated (of course we understand that one does not want to have too nice of funishings in a rental, as some renters can be disrepectful in how they treat the place), we had a very enjoyable time. It was nice to get to know South Haven more. We wish that we would have seen more of the lake from the cottage, but as we mentioned before, we had a lovely time. Thank you and enjoy the rest of your summer! Mary Ann & Colin Jack

Great Location

I stayed here with a group of 5 other women from my church for a fun weekend away. The location is great and is within easy walking distance of the beach and shopping. We each had our own bed (important to us) and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped. The large dining room table easily accommodated us for meals and for crafts. There are ceiling fans in each room. The hosts provided detailed information and excellent communication. The only thing I would change would be to add more/enhance the lighting, so the cottage would be brighter after dark.
