Perfect!

We had a wonderful week in South Haven! The house had everything we needed, plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax, and a quick easy walk to town for restaurants and shopping. We would love to go back!

Great house! Great location!

My husband, our 7yo twins, my mother, sister and her 4yo daughter visited South Haven for the first time and enjoyed our stay at the house on Phoenix Street! When we first pulled up, it didn’t appear to be blocks from town - but sure enough, it was an easy, walkable few minutes and we were right there. Phoenix Street itself is pretty busy so we rode our bikes on the back streets/thru the neighborhoods to get to Kids Korner playground and beach for July 4th fireworks, to access the Kal Haven trail to ride and pick berries, and to town to go to the farmers market and get ice cream. The house was clean and the foam mattresses were very comfortable. My mother aka “Grandma” appreciated having a bedroom/bathroom on the first floor — and sharing her bathroom (only accessible thru her room) was not an issue for us. Thanks for having us!

Great House, wonderful stay

The house was as advertised and overall we had a great visit to South Haven. Brent responded quickly to communication and the house was clean with plenty of space for our family of 8 adults and 4 kids (under 4). A few things to note that weren’t deal breakers but just something to be aware of- there was no garbage bags in the house except for the one in the garbage can when we arrived and there was only 2 rolls of toilet paper in each bathroom, so we did have to stock up. If you are planning to cook, there is very little in the cabinets in terms of cooking supplies (seasoning, cooking spray, left over coffee, etc). Make sure to bring everything you need when preparing to cook. I read a few reviews about the temperature being an issue in the bedrooms, but we felt all the rooms were well regulated and there was plenty of Ac at night. The house is on a rather busy street, so it can be a little loud with traffic but you’re very close to the downtown (5-10 min walk). We did not find the beach to be walkable (with kids and beach stuff) but we’re able to purchase a parking pass each day for $10 per day. Overall, we would stay again.

Saying goodbye to Dad

This was the perfect spot ( great neighborhood/ beautiful spacious home/ gorgeous roomy kitchen/large dining room table and space where everyone could fit comfortably/ cozy outdoor spaces) for our family get together to celebrate Dad who passed recently and wanted his ashes spread nearby where our family cottage used to be. The only negative was a large rule book stating more rules than I’ve ever seen at a VRBO location. And absolutely no workability re later check out ( we live in LA and our flight wasn’t until much later) than 10am plus the maid service showed up at early at 9am.

About the host

Hosted by Brent and Holly Watkins

My wife and I have spent many years coming over to South Haven and enjoying all the area has to offer and now we have purchased a home of our own to share with all of you! Being able to enjoy this home with our children and extended family has been a joy and we know you will love it too! Please reach out to us as we would love to hear from you!

Why they chose this property

You have a lovely family park just two homes away that gives plenty of green space for any activity. The large home gives plenty of room for large families with lots of charm that dates back to 1897!

What makes this property unique

There are so many wonderful things to enjoy about our home but the best for us has to be how close we are to downtown! Just a short stroll and we are enjoying all that downtown South Haven has to offer! We are just 5 houses away from all the fun!
