This was a beautiful property with plenty of room for all 10 guests for my daughter’s bridal shower. Every place we sat was cozy and comfy. Loved the big kitchen and living area. The views of the harbor and lake were amazing. We can’t wait to come back for a big family vacation!

Beautiful property, although it could use a few updates. The lake view is excellent, and watching the sunset from the third floor was a highlight of our stay.The host was very responsive to our concerns. Unfortunately, the house was not ready when we arrived for check-in, as the housekeeper had not yet come to clean. We walked into a home with the beds stripped and the house still needing to be cleaned. There was also a fruit fly issue. However, the homeowner quickly addressed both concerns and arranged for the cleaners to come.Despite these issues, we enjoyed the property and a good time was had by all!

The home was very nice. There were some inconsistencies in the different versions of the information (beach gear in the basement but there was not access to the basement). In kitchen, there were only two table knives. It would be helpful to have directions for operating the ice machine. We figured it out. But we had a very nice time at the house.

Thank you so much for your kind review! We're so glad you had a wonderful stay and enjoyed our home. Thank you as well for the helpful feedback. We recently finished a big basement project and are in the process of reorganizing where we store our beach gear, so we apologize for the inconsistency in the information. We'll be updating our house guide to reflect the current setup. We also appreciate you letting us know about the table knives. During our busy summer season, items occasionally disappear between turnovers, and we would have been happy to bring more over had we known. Those are now replaced so thank you! The suggestion to include instructions for the ice maker is a great one and we'll be adding those to our information book. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!

The spacious kitchen/family room felt roomy enough for our large family. The fenced backyard with a large deck provided a safe space for the younger children especially. Being close to town was handy too.

We loved Panellas place! Plenty of room for the whole family. The house was super clean. The views were fantastic. It was a relaxing, hassle-free, enjoyable stay. I would definitely recommend that anyone visiting South Haven stay at the Panellas Place. We will not have to shop around for places to stay again. This will be our go-to place.

Fabulous Home and Location!

Check in and communication was seamless. Home was breathtaking, clean, inviting, perfect for our party of 12, and room for more. We had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Jill (host) was super accommodating. The beach, pier and downtown were all within walking distance. We had such a good time we are going to make plans for an annual girls weekend. Thank you Jill!
