Since our kids were small, we have vacationed regularly with our extended family and immediately realized that a vacation rental offers many more benefits than a typical hotel. The privacy, space, and even the convenience of cooking a meal or doing laundry, are all benefits of vacationing at a vacation rental. Since then, we have stayed in numerous vacation rental properties and appreciate a well equipped rental with ample space and access to amenities like a pool and water access.
In 2004, we purchased our first rental home in South Haven, Michigan. At the time, we were a family of 4 with a newborn and a one-year-old. The town was so beautiful and kid friendly that we knew we wanted to come back over and over. Since we are originally from Illinois and now live in the middle of the mitten, South Haven was a perfect meeting place for our family gatherings. We fell in love so quickly with the town that we purchased a 3 bedroom house in South Haven in November of that year. We labored all winter and completely renovated the house into a 6 bedroom vacation home designed for family reunions. A year later, we purchased the house next door, and have been welcoming families ever since.
In 2019 we expanded beyond Michigan by adding our Cape Escape home in Cape Coral Florida, complete with boat and captain. In 2022 we added a mountain home in Sevierville TN with unparalleled views of the Smoky Mountains. The newest addition in January 2026 is our beach property in Beverly Beach Florida with views of the Atlantic right from the back patio!
Over the years as our family and kids have grown, we have made many memories in our vacation homes and hope that our guests will have as much fun as we have!
