Perfect location. Very cute property. There is a closet with baby supplies (high chair and a pack and play) that I didn’t discover until we were leaving! I would stay here again

Hey there! I'm going to try and update our listings to make it more clear where some of those baby and family items are, as I know a lot of guests look for them when booking; we definitely want to take that burden off of you whenever possible. I'm so glad that you had such a wonderful stay, though, and I hope we'll see you again soon!
All the best,

Very nice bungalow, clean and well-maintained, in one of the best locations in South Haven with easy access within walking distance to downtown and the beach. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back to this property.

Hey Thomas! I am beyond pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at Breezy Beach so much! It's one of those lesser-known gems in our catalogue, it makes me so happy when guests really appreciate it! We'd love to have you back anytime, so feel free to give us a ring!
All the best,

The cottage was warm and inviting! It was very comfortable for four people plus fur babies! The beachy lake decor was nice and the everything was very clean! The only drawbacks were there was no dishwasher which we assumed there was from the list of rules and the second bathroom was in the basement, down a steep set of stairs! We ranged in age from 73 to 82!
While the house is very old and shows its age. The house was well cleaned, the beds were comfortable.

Best regards, Shores Vacation Rentals
Loved the house. Six minute walk to the overlook. Nice neighborhood. Nice backyard.
The living room did get chilly with the thermostat in the back hallway.
This property feels like a home away from home. Incredibly cute, quaint, and comfortable. Living room was perfect for the 4 of us. Outdoor space was perfect for hanging out, grilling, and dining. Comfortable beds in perfectly sized bedrooms. 3 blocks walk to the beach. 4 blocks to downtown. Just perfect. Thanks again!

We rented the Breezy Beach Bungalow for a few days in September 2023. Loved this house. It is two blocks from the lakeshore and about 4 blocks from downtown. This allowed us to walk to watch the sunset. There is a park on a bluff & the beach itself is a short walk. There are many restaurants to eat lunch and dinner all within walking distance. There is a fenced in backyard which was handy for our dog. There is a gap between the privacy fence and the chainlink fence that my 30lb dog tried to shimmy through. Beaches in South Haven prohibit dogs on the beach, but you can sit on the benches where there is concrete with your dog. Van Buren State Park and Pilgrims Haven allow dogs on the beach & are good places to rockhound. The house itself is really nice. Probably built in the 1920 with plaster walls with arches, beautiful wood trim and crown molding. We did not cook but the kitchen is well equipped to do so. There is a washer and dryer in the basement, but we didn't use them either. There is a driveway big enough to fit several cars. The neighborhood has a lot of older homes that have been renovated of really well maintained. The yard has beautiful landscaping with clematis that was covered with monarch butterflies and other pollinators. There is a gas grill and long picnic table and smokeless firepit in the backyard. We did not use these either.

Hello Deborah! This review is just phenomenal, and we thank you so much for taking the time to leave it. We're beyond pleased that you were able to enjoy so many fantastic South Haven luxuries, like the beaches and the local eateries. That little tip about rockhounding is good to know too!
