There was some confusion with check in communication. We were told we could check in early. But when we arrived, there was a handyman at the house trying to install a new sink in the upstairs bathroom. They ended up stopping what they were doing and not installing the new sink. They said they hadn’t heard about the early check in. It was mostly awkward. We’ve stayed at this location before and the interior is starting to show wear and tear. There’s quite a bit of wall paint peeling in one of the bathrooms and things are old and worn in general. The location is nice and the neighborhood is quiet, which is great. It just seems like you pay a lot for the condition of things. But maybe everything is just overpriced now.

Girls’ weekend and we had a fantastic time!

The house is absolutely beautiful. I wish the weather had been warmer so we could have enjoyed sitting out on the porch and around the fire pit. We will definitely be back.

Ideal location

We spent a long weekend in South Haven and this property couldn't have been in a better location. It was a close and easy walk to downtown and the beach. Plenty of room for our family of 5 plus my sister's family of 4 to spread out. We had everything we needed and more! Would definitely stay here again!

We had a great time at the Blue View Victorian. The house had plenty of space for 5 adults and 3 kids. The outside dinners at the table on the deck were very enjoyable and the house had all the amenities we needed for a great stay! Thanks to Anna and Jason!

South Haven was a perfect place for our senior, yet active, group of ladies to vacation.

The house is charming and very well kept. Kitchen was very well stocked, and the dining room and porch allowed for plenty of space to eat. A highlight for us was the back yard - a “compact “ space with plenty of furniture to accommodate our group of 8 ladies as we gathered around the amazing fire pit each night. Grill was great too!

Weekend with Friends

My friends and I had a great stay at this beautiful home. We were composed of 3 couples with a total of 4 babies and had plenty of room for everyone. We really appreciated the baby amenities provided, as well as all of the regular amenities. We also loved how close this home was to the beach and downtown. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Great house. perfect location!!

We had 7 adults stay here, but had plenty of room for 5 more. The house was awesome. We couldn't have asked for anything better. We had lots of room to hang out.. from inside, front porch, back porch to outside seating area with firepit. We walked everywhere we needed/wanted to go. Beach, coffee shops, shopping, restaurants and bars. It was a perfect quick vacay for our family. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Location. Location. Location.

This house was in a great location. Just a short walk to the beach and all the uptown stores. Very well, equipped kitchen. Beds were comfortable and could sleep 12 people easily. There were two nice bathrooms upstairs. One with a tub/shower and one with a walk in shower. Several rooms had TVs with streaming service capability and one had a DVR. Would definitely consider staying here again on a future trip to South Haven.

Great location!

Overall we enjoyed the house! Location is perfect, close to downtown and south beach. We rented bikes in town and biked downtown a lot. The neighborhood was very nice! The house was stocked pretty well and had extras. Lots of sitting spaces, inside and outside! The only complaint I had was the cleaners could have vacuumed better and we did wash the bathroom rugs. They needed cleaned. Everything else was very good!

Perfect location in a lovely home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely home that is a short walk to South beach, and practically in the heart of town. We walked to everything. The photos do not do the property justice in how impeccably and comfortably decorated it is, with plush bedding, ample towels, and a great deal of thought given to all the extras that made our stay a wonderful time and now a lasting memory. Our combined family's four teens abandoned their phones for games of backgammon, strolls to the pier, and s'more roasting over the fire pit. We will return!

Victorian review

The house was nice. Decent location, though much closer to downtown than the beach. It was a quiet neighborhood, and we appreciated the toys and books for the kids on our trip. The main negatives would be that the upstairs got pretty hot at night, even when we adjusted the thermostat. Also, there weren’t many hand towels for the kitchen. That would have been nice to have a few more as we cooked a lot at the house. Otherwise very good.
