Convenient Location, Quirky House
I recently stayed at this house for three nights. The location is excellent—just a 5-10 minute walk to downtown and the canal boardwalk. The house is old, with uneven floors and squeaky spots, and steep stairs to the upper level, which could be challenging for those with mobility issues.
The layout has some drawbacks: one bedroom is next to the kitchen, making it noisy for kids, and another seems to be a converted dining room. Beds varied in comfort; one was particularly uncomfortable due to a plastic mattress cover.
The small kitchen is well-stocked with utensils and cookware but lacks spices, oil, and vinegar. The kitchen and bathroom could be cleaner. We were also asked to start a load of laundry with towels and remove sheets and pillowcases before departure, which was unusual compared to other rentals.
The AC units worked ok but quite loud, and light switches, outlets, and fans were sometimes tricky to figure out.
Overall, the price seemed high for what we received, though we did book last minute. Despite the quirks, the location was great, but we’ll likely choose another place for our next Grand Haven visit.
