Very clean and convenient home. Kitchen was well stocked with essentials for cooking meals. It was great having 3.5 bathrooms and multiple bedrooms for families. Location was wonderful- walk to town, farmers market and restaurants but in a quiet neighborhood. It also helped that one bedroom and full bath is on the ground floor since older guests may have trouble with the stairs.

Great stay!

We really enjoyed our 3 generation family vacation at the home. It is a great home in a beautiful neighborhood. It was a nice walk to the downtown and closer than I expected to everything. We would for sure stay here again.

Great place for a large family

This was a perfect place for our adult married children and grandbaby. Each couple had their own bathroom which was great. It was a short walk to downtown South Haven, the beach and the Kal-Haven trail. We would go back!

This house was everything we were hoping for and more! The house easily accommodated 10 adults!

Every detail was thought of! Located within walking distance to downtown and the lake! Absolutely beautiful, very clean and updated! The beds and pillows were also very comfortable! We will definitely book our stay here again next year!

Labor Day Weekend!

This was my third stay at Grandpa Dick's, and this is my favorite place to stay in South Haven! Consistently clean and well-kept. Perfect location! Close to town and the beach while being in a quiet neighborhood. The floor plan and bedroom to bathroom ratio make it perfect for any group. 10 out of 10.

Wonderful beach getaway

The house was beautiful and had all the amenities we needed. The kitchen was fully stocked, and we didn't have to search for anything because everything was easily accessible. The beach gear, especially the beach wagon, was incredibly useful and saved the day. Overall, everything was fantastic.

Great get away!

We are a group of six women and this house worked perfectly for us but it would also be great for any large group or multigenerational family. Lots of bedrooms and baths and a large open kitchen next to the family room. Lots of additional space including outdoor areas. The owner was wonderful to work with and everything went very smoothly.

Family fun

Shelby’s house is the perfect spot for a family vacationing in South Haven. The fenced-in backyard was perfect for our little ones. The kitchen was very well stocked with appliances, cooking supplies, plenty of dishes. Lots of outdoor toys and all the beach equipment you could need. The house is lovely and well taken care of. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to stay at the house again.

Family vacation in SoHa

Our week at Grandpa Dick’s was great. The home is just as described. There was plenty of room for the four of us (parents with two young-adult children) with space to spare. Everything we needed was supplied. The walk to town was easy - 25 minutes to the furthest end of the pier. The host was very responsive to our inquiries regarding things to do in the area.

Perfect Family Getaway

We had 6 adults and 2 kids very comfortably in this house for a week. Shelby is a wonderful host - the house was clean and well-equipped for beach days and kids toys/books! We walked everywhere in town throughout the week - it was a bit too far of a walk to the beach with all our stuff but there’s plenty of parking at the beach so it was no big deal. Would recommend!

Wonderful family time!

The house was perfect for a three generation family gathering. The house was spacious with room for people to spread out as well as gather together. Bedrooms were super comfortable, kitchen was very well equipped, lots of chairs, toys and towels for the beach. We’re had everything we needed and then some. We all loved our experience, and Shelby was very responsive to all our questions. Thanks!!!

50th birthday celebration

The home offered a variety of gathering options that worked well for a large family. Gave room to breathe without feeling crowded. The home offered a nice back yard patio option as an extension of the home. The host provided many beach items. So, save the hassle and just use the options provided by the host.
