This house is very charming, down to the last detail. The location is great for the lake and downtown. I loved this house. It was an easy fit for all 4 of us. We will be coming back!!
We had a great experience in South Haven and loved staying in this house. We had 5 small kids with us and 4 adults. There was plenty of space, the house was clean, there were activities for the kids, and the location was perfect. We hope to be back in the future!
This was perfectly set up for a summer lake trip! We so enjoyed the back patio of the house, all of the beach gear provided, and the closeness to the lake and town
Would highly recommend a stay at Summer Haven for anyone visiting South Haven, especially families! Our group (4 adults + 5 kids, 6yrs and under) thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found the property to be ideal for families who want to be close to the beach and shops/restaurants in South Haven. The house is a 10 minute walk to the beach (we loved not having to deal with parking!), short walk to an amazing playground, and 5 minute walk to downtown South Haven. The interior was very clean, spacious, and provided any amenities that we needed during our stay. We also loved the fully fenced-in backyard and patio area. We could not have asked for better and would love to come stay again!

So glad you enjoyed the home and your stay!! Come again anytime
Very responsive manager & owner. We had a minor issue with a storm door staying closed. We made the manager aware- not as a complaint that impacted our stay but to let them know- and the owner arrived that day and fixed it.
Our stay at this rental exceeded our expectations. We were impressed on how clean, spacious, and beautifully maintained the property was. The location was perfect and within walking distance to everything. The home was fully equipped with everything we needed. The host’s communication was prompt and helpful. We created wonderful memories here and will definitely visit again. Thanks again!!

This home worked well for my wife and me, plus our two college-age sons and seven of their friends (11 total). I was somewhat worried the bunk beds would be too small. While the room is decorated for younger children, the young men in this group who slept in that room said it was fine. The group also enjoyed sitting around the fire pit in the yard and watching NBA playoff games on the TV. (There was enough seating that everyone could see.) A third bathroom would have been nice, but we knew we were only getting two and the upstairs one is quite roomy.The location is an easy walk to both the town center and South Beach. (It was too cold for much in the way of beach activities, but it’s nice to look at the lake.) My wife and I enjoyed biking on the Kal-Haven Trail one afternoon while the boys went to the Michigan Maritime Museum and saw a movie downtown at the Michigan Theatre.
