Fantastic family beach vacation

Our three generation family spent a wonderful week at this lovely renovated beach house. It’s a short block to both the beach and the river. It’s well laid out with plenty of seating and very well provisioned with cleaning supplies, paper products dish ware, games, and toys. The owner was very thoughtful and responsive. We would definitely stay here again.

Stephanie made every effort to make us comfortable . The house had lots of extras that we didn't expect but very much appreciated. There were extra blankets, sheets, and pillows.The layout of the house created an easy area for the ten of us to hang out. Kitchen, dining area, and family room together are huge and we could all be together when we wanted.

Beautiful property. Incredible location. The pictures don’t do it justice this property has everything you need. We had the best family getaway. We enjoyed morning walks to the beach, coffee on the back porch and sunset views on the front porch. This property is close to everything. You can walk to the beach and to town in minutes. We’ve been coming to South Haven for years and this was by far our favorite stay!
