Sister Trip

The house was beautiful. Neighborhood was safe and location was super close to downtown shops and beaches. We enjoyed our stay very much. House was very clean and had all the extra items you could have wanted. Outside area was really nice as well. We will stay again

Lovely home

This house is spacious and clean, with a beautiful backyard! Beds were comfy and there were toys for the kids to play with. We really enjoyed our stay, especially being walking distance to the beach!

South Haven Charmer

This home treated us well during our stay. It felt like a second home getaway and South Haven was a pleasure to experience. Agree with previous comment that kitchen was perfectly and thoughtfully stocked for guests. The yard was so well presented and taken care of. This was a winner and we felt like neighbors in this neighborhood 😁

Girls weekend

The house is lovely. Quiet neighborhood. Close to shops and restaurants and walking distance to the beach. We had very nice time and would stay again. Only recommendation would be to have more mirrors. One mirror for four women is not enough😊.

Neighborhood Gem

Great place to relax with well stocked house and outdoor space. Had trouble with front door but we’re thrilled when we entered. The local contact was very helpful and owner had good communication. Impressive organization and decorating by owner. Good place for a family, but take caution going down basement stairs. Would definitely stay again!

Instagram-worthy lake house

If you searched Instagram or Pinterest for "Michigan lake house," this house would appear in the results! So much attention to detail in this warm, cozy, immaculately clean and comfortable house. From the bathroom to the patio to the kitchen, the house has everything you could need and more! Location is great too - close to downtown, beaches, bike trails. Neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. There's also children's books, toys, bowls, cups. We loved our stay!

Three chicks in South Haven

this property was a good, clean place to stay in a quiet neighbor hood. Best of all, all bedrooms were on the first floor. A great place to relax at the end of our busy day. Only one drawback, one mirror in whole house (in bathroom). This is not good for three women. All in all, my two sisters and I had a great time.

Picture Perfect...

We took a long weekend trip with our adult children. We always stay in rental homes when we travel, and this is one of the few places we would rent again! It was exactly what we needed. The home was so clean, well appointed, and comfortable. There is a large table for dining and game playing. (They had some vintage games that brought back some great memories.) The back yard was fabulous with a fire pit, deck, picnic table and beautiful landscaping. The front had a lovely covered porch with a porch swing. The house is in a quiet neighborhood, but it's close to everything. The only negative was that we couldn't stay longer...maybe next time 😊

Beware you need to read this and act accordingly

This was a beautiful property clean and well stocked… my family had a good time doing normal vacation things… it seemed like everything was going well with the hosts UNTIL… they accused us of damaging their air hockey table which was damaged when we got there… they charged our credit card the max allowed which is interesting as the table probably wasn’t worth that even if perfect… I had to spend a great deal of time to dispute the charge to get my money back… I believe that they knew it was broken and were trying to cheat me… I’ve never had a problem of any kind with other short term vacation rentals… I don’t know if VRBO is different but they were not helpful in this case… I’m going to stick with other rental companies from now on…
