This property has a perfect location between being one block from the beach and an easy walk into town. The kitchen is well appointed and we enjoy cooking all weekend and eating out on the beautiful flower filled patio. There is plenty of space for our family to spread out and we also appreciate the easy parking. Thanks to the hosts for making check in and check out so easy. This was our second time at the B-Hive and we will be back!

Our Stay at the B-Hive

We loved our stay at the Beehive. The house was well stocked and clean. We especially love the great location and easy walk to the beach in downtown. The host responded quickly to any questions we asked. Would love to go back again someday!

This was a fabulous location! We enjoyed walking down to the beach multiple times a day and loved being so close. Parking for three cars in this area is a huge benefit. The beds were comfortable and everyone agreed that the living room couch was a comfy place to hang out. Property manager was responsive to questions. Overall a great value!

Perfect location near North Beach. We loved the convenience of this charming property! Its an older home but clean and well maintained. Plenty of room for extended family. The main floor primary bedroom w ensuite bathroom was perfect for our elderly parents. The walk-in shower was was ideal for them! Great space for 6 adults and 3 kids!It is an easy and very short walk to the Beach.Michael was very responsive and helpful. When we come back to South Haven we will definitely look to stay here again.

Perfection location for us. 1 block to the beach, 1 block to the coffee shops and a short walk each night into town for dinner. Two bedrooms on the mail level worked out well. Love the huge sectional in the great room.

FANTASTIC PLACE TO RENT!!!!

The beehive was a phenomenal home for us to rent in South Haven. We had 10 family members throughout the week - a few kids under 10 yrs old included and it was the perfect fit for us. The house was great and the owners were even more accommodating. Even if I had the slightest of questions, they made themselves available almost immediately. I will continue renting this house for years to come!!! A+ rating!!!!

Great location!

We are a family with 6 adults, 3 kids 4,5,7 and an infant. The property was in a great location! Quick walk to beach even with small children! Easy walk to restaurants and shops. House was clean, had a well stocked kitchen, everything you need. The 3 full bathrooms were ideal for our family. The dining table and huge couch were perfect for us all to be together! The washer/dryer was a plus to wash suits and towels after the beach. The host was very responsive when we reached out. The middle upstairs bedroom was quite warm for sleeping, a fan was provided but a window air conditioner would be helpful. The mattress in that room is worn. We are a family that doesn’t wear shoes in the house so we thought a tall shoe rack would come in handy. To summarize, the bhive was a great choice and we would highly recommend it to other families.

Comfortable and Inviting

While the cottage is close to the beach, between a bit of rain and the very comfortable environs of the cottage, we often found it very difficult to leave the B-Hive. The entire cottage is well-coordinated and stylish. From the cozy beds to the soft comforters, from the sectional couch with the gas fireplace to the decently appointed kitchen, the B-Hive always impressed us, making returning to it a very enjoyable experience each day. I find a good measure of a place is often as easy as a visit to the bathroom, so allow me to share. Nicely placed stone tile floor meets a modern vanity and glass shower, all with high-quality fixtures, all of which were sparkling clean on arrival. In the morning, the shower provided loads of hot water with plenty of water pressure. Stepping out, the bath towels (Vera Wang) were thick, comfortable, and clean. I couldn't have asked for more. But the B-Hive offers so much more. Location-wise, it is a short walk to the beach, and a reasonable walk into town. Space-wise, it is large enough to handle a good-sized group without everyone being in the way. Still, it's the little touches - the dimmers on many lights which let the living room transform to an intimately-lit space to share with friends and a bottle of wine in the evenings, the excellent stove which encouraged us to cook in a few times and save a little money on our trip - these little things add up to make the B-Hive all the more attractive. I recommend the B-Hive to anyone looking for a simply lovely place to stay while visiting South Haven!

Many thanks to Phil for taking the time to write this review. I hope it shows that we do our best to take the time to provide our guests with the best accommodations possible. While on the subject of taking or making time, we feel that time spent with family and friends is the most important thing we have in life. Few people will ask for just one more meeting or one more conference call or one more late night at the office while in their final days here in this life. Our hope is to provide you and your family with a beautiful venue to enjoy your time together. We make every effort possible to do this through the design and selection of finishes, fixtures, etc. as Phil mentioned in his review. We look forward to hearing from you and hope to accommodate your family as our guests in South Haven at the B-Hive!

Location is everything

We had a pleasant stay however the bed upstairs desperately needs replaced and doesn’t offer a restful sleep at all. We have a year and a half and 4.5 year old who fell often in the living room area too since there is a step down into the living room so just be aware if you have young kids. Overall this rental worked for us but would have liked a more kid friendly place. You can’t beat this location!

Good experience

Overall, we had a good experience. We had a couple of issues and the owner/manager immediately responded and remedied the problem as best as possible. The house is charming and the location is prime—just a short 3 minute walk to North Beach. The home is starting to show some wear and tear and needs a little TLC; especially the upstairs. The upstairs furniture needs to be refreshed. The two upstairs queen mattresses desperately need to be replaced and fresh paint is needed upstairs too. The air conditioning barely works upstairs, if at all. You basically have to crank the air to 67° and wait for it to cool down upstairs while freezing the downstairs. Fans were provided but it just wasn’t enough. The cold air return ducts throughout the house are covered in dust. Would I rent this place again or recommend it? MAYBE... I was actually hoping to rent the same house for next year because it is charming and the location is great, but I think we might try somewhere else instead. Oh and the house isn’t yellow it’s white . Very confusing when pulling up to the rental the picture online need to be retaken.

Pleasant Beehive Stay

Check-in and communications were easy. House was clean and well supplied. Location was amazing in terms of just a 5-minute walk to North Beach. Minor improvements could be made to broken blind cords, worn bath rugs and toss bed pillows, and some worn toss blankets. Generally, the Beehive was a great place to stay for a large family or 2-3 smaller families together. We would gladly book it again.
