Great place to stay in Grand Haven

We really enjoyed our stay! Located conveniently close to downtown Grand Haven, we really enjoyed walking to shop and visit the local attractions. The house was very comfortable for our family, has a very spacious dining area, and the porch is a great place to hang out! Also, the owner is very responsive if an issue arises which is a definite plus!

This house is charming and spacious, and close to downtown and the beach. The decor is beachy and calming, just what I need on vacation. The owner was very fast to respond to our needs during our stay. We made good use of the kitchen and appreciated the updated appliances. If you're doing a lot of cooking, the kitchen gets hot, so the fans we found in the closets helped with that. We loved having the sand toys available as we forgot ours! Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home!

Ideal for Families

Last week was our second stay in this rental, and we enjoyed it even more this time. Kitchen was remodeled since our last visit, and there were new furnishings and bedding. The home is very roomy and in the perfect location--a few blocks from downtown and a short drive to the beach. Highly recommended!

Excellent stay!

The house was lovely. 100 year-old beauty, updated and done in a cool, beachy palette. Having the beach chairs, towels, umbrella and wagon on hand was a definite plus. Nice to be so close to the beach and shops. Communication with property manager/owner was outstanding -- timely and super helpful!

Beautiful old home

It was a lovely old home. We enjoyed our stay. The only thing we didn’t like was the distance from the town, very noisy street, no fire pit. I believe it said there was a hot tub but there isn’t. But it was great vacation home.

Thank you for your time in giving a review. You gave me my only 4 star. All others were 5. My description mentions a 20 minute walk to the downtown. I’m guessing you may have confused my listing with another and thinking there was a hot tub and a fire pit. Because I do not have those checked in the listing. I do hope your overall stay was enjoyably memorable!

Summer getaway

We had a wonderful stay. The home was clean, spacious for our family. Close to the waterfront and activities. Hosts were quick with communication. Onsite parking was convenient. Street traffic was noisy at times, but not enough to deter us. Beds were comfortable. Fully stocked with kitchen supplies. And onsite laundry was very convenient. Would definitely stay here again!

Great stay in Grand Haven

We just stayed for a week in this house with my family who has been going to Grand Haven for 9 years. We have stayed in many houses and this was one of the best. It was a bit farther from downtown and the beach than we usually do but that was our fault for not looking closer at the map when booking. It helped us get our steps in. It is an older house but has a new feel with the furnishings. It is very kid friendly as well. The second/downstairs bathroom is small but still perfect for an extra bathroom when needed. Overall, this was a great house.
