Great stay for large family

Overall we had a lovely stay. The property is a beautifully renovated house in a great location - an easy walk to a small public beach with little kids! The kitchen was also very well stocked so we could cook and not rely on eating out a ton. Would definitely stay here again in the future.

Very pleasant week in South Haven for our family of 5, plus our dog. Short trip to the big beaches (2 minutes by car, 15 minute jog), and a short walk to the small beaches. Plenary of room for us to hang out and play games. Owner is very responsive. A great place to stay.

Perfect house for weekend in south Haven.

Even better than the listing! We rented this property with 3 couples for a weekend of golf, pickleball and exploring south Haven. The house is beautiful, clean and comfortable and a short walk to the beach and to town. We are planning on making this an annual event and look forward to returning to the house!

Sheila's English Cottage Was Perfect For Us

This lovely home is the perfect vacation spot for us. It is comfortable, clean, spacious and well-stocked with everything travelers need. The location is just what we like: the beach and town are in easy walking distance. Paul and Sheila are helpful, friendly and accommodating. A huge bonus is the fact that dogs are welcome. Our daughter and niece love the fact that their little companions can come along on vacation!

Perfect getaway

The Brockway house was perfect for our family (8 adults and 2 toddlers) making vacation comfortable and a breeze. The walk to beach is literally minutes and you have a few options. Coffee shops and town easily included as a pit stop for a longer 15 minute tour. The house was incredibly clean and modern to appeal to our large group, with all the amenities you can need for your stay and space for a large group. Communication was easy with the owners and setup of the house was very thoughtful and straightforward. Thank you for the excellent stay!

Great stay for joyous occasion

231 Brockway in South Haven, MI was a perfect match for our stay. The home was clean, pleasant and well equipped. Based on market rate, the nightly cost was very competitive. The lower level space was a real bonus for us to accommodate all our family. The manager was attentive and responsive. Easy access to all that South Haven has to offer.

Lovely bathrooms, bedrooms equipped with ceiling fans. The kitchen was well equipped - we have several good cooks and we wanted for nothing. The host was very responsive.

This was the BEST vrbo I have stayed in. Very well appointed and incredibly well stocked. Every bathroom had hand soap and TP, there was a roll of paper towel, kitchen towels, dish soap, garbage bags, food wrap, seasoning/spices, plasticware, scissors, tape, a marker. The host is supremely responsive. The house is well layed out with the basement being a whole other house (sans kitchen). Great dining table for a large group. Primary on main floor with ensuite and two additional bedrooms on main floor with a full bathroom worked well for our group. The basement has another bedroom, gorgeous full bath with heated floors and a family room with an amazing sectional and large screen tv. A closet downstairs holds pull out beds for extra guests. Such an amazing space!!

Birthday Gathering

We came to South Haven to celebrate a family birthday. Our group was made up of two grandparents, our adult daughter, our son and his wife and their two and a half year old. The layout of the house was perfect for us, as the downstairs is practically a separate apartment. The linens and towels were very good quality—-I always appreciate that. The house was very comfortable, had ample room for all of us, and Eleanor, who is currently being a dinosaur, could run around and roar to her heart’s content. The area is quiet, but close to everything. We all enjoyed our stay.
