Great option with a first floor bedroom and a nice shaded porch as well as an enclosed one. 15 minute walk to downtown or Kids' Corner/South Beach. Don't forget beach accessories are available in the shed - key is hanging near the door.

Our stay here was so nice! The rooms were spacious and equipped with everything we needed for our trip to South Haven. The boys (4 and 6 years old) loved the toys and books in the kids room, and the screened-in west-facing porch was so nice for morning coffee or afternoon book reading (or naps). We walked to and from several points of interest in the area (south beach pier, the Kids Corner playground, and Clementine's). Joanna the host was very responsive via text as well. All in all it was very pleasant, and given the opportunity we would stay again!

We really liked staying at this house in South Haven. Clean, spacious, close to town, cute neighborhood to walk in. I spent way too long trying to find the upstairs bathroom but it was just hidden behind the primary bedroom door. If you’re a sleeper who’s sensitive to light, bring a sleep mask because there are some high-up windows that don’t have curtains. On the plus side, we were up with the sun and ready for a beach walk! We’d stay here again!

Awesome location for a family of 4 with two small children. Very close to downtown, an awesome children’s playground, and the beach. House was much bigger than expected which was a pleasant surprise. Stairs were a little tricky with our curious toddler but we made it work. Host was very responsive the morning of check out when we had a little hiccup. Would definitely stay again!
