Ray’s place was great! Super dog friendly and the beach access was amazing. The walk was a little steep but driving and parking there was a breeze. We had plenty of space to spread out in the house and used the backyard as well. We had two little kids as well and there were some toys for them to play with.

The private beach access alone is worth a stay at this home! This is our fourth year visiting this specific beach/neighborhood and we come back every year because we love it so much. Chose this property because we wanted our senior dog, who LOVES swimming, to be a part of it! So worth it! Very dog friendly home with leash leads set-up in the backyard, dog beds, and water/food bowls available. This was the most well stocked property I’ve ever stayed at, which made our stay much more enjoyable! Aside from some dust bunnies and not the cleanest floors (which is hard to maintain when dogs and beach sand are involved!) , this property is a 10/10!

My family was able to get away for a few days. All my family members expressed how they really enjoyed it. The house was clean, cimfortable and close enough to several attractions and towns that allowed us to experience many things. The private beach was beautiful.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
We enjoyed the location and especially appreciated the access to the private beach. The beds were reasonably comfortable, and the house worked well for our group overall.The biggest downside was cleanliness. The house did not feel as clean as we would have expected, and the living room rug had a strong dog urine smell. This was especially frustrating for us since we had a baby who wanted to crawl and play on the floor. There also were not enough towels and washcloths provided for everyone in our group.With a more thorough cleaning, attention to the living room rug, and a better supply of linens, this could be a much better stay. The private beach access was definitely the highlight.

Nice vacation

Property was as described and very comfortable for our group of 4 adults and 2 kids. The house is well set up to allow people to be together and also to have space for separate activities . Ray was very responsive to a plumbing issue that arose. Thanks for a great little vacation.

Awesome Location

Me and my girls absolutely loved our stay, the place was clean, and the beds are very comfortable. The location is secluded but there is a house directly next to you. The private beach was absolutely beautiful. No need to go anywhere else. I would definitely load up the car and drive because there is a very large hill you have to go down. We will definitely be back.

Enjoyable Thanksgiving Holiday

We had a great thanksgiving weekend staying at the BlueHaven. The host was very accommodating and quickly responded with all our correspondence. The house floor plan allowed for 2 separate gathering areas which were ideal for the those who wanted to watch Christmas movies and those who were engrossed in the football games. The walk to the beach was a nice way to walk off the turkey, fixins’ and pumpkin pie. The house was as described, clean, and comfortable.I have added it to my list of possible future stays and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing get away no matter the time of the year.

We were in the area for an extended family visit. Pretty much used the house as a crash pad at night. It had everything we needed, and we loved that sunset point was within an easy walk. House was well stocked with basics and offered plenty of room for everyone. Communication with the host was excellent. Unfortunately, we arrived late at night and had to contact him. He responded immediately which was really appreciated. He also provided advanced recommendations of things to do and good restaurants in the area. It made us wish we could stay longer.

We had a wonderful stay in South Haven! The house was perfect for our family with plenty of space and rooms for us. 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms is always a plus! Everything was clean and taken care of. The firepit and table in the back were great to sit around. The larger room upstairs does get a bit warm so bring a fan!The beach is a 2 mile walk across the street but only a 2 minute drive. The beach is a bit rocky but is very secluded and lots of space to play. The kids loved looking for rocks and swimming in the lake. The town of South Haven is about 10-12 min drive away. We would definitely recommend this home!

July Family Vacation

Stayed for 9 days in July with husband, young adult kids and dogs. We were a little apprehensive as the house changed owners shortly before our scheduled stay. The transition from first owner to current owner was a little clunky (may be a VRBO platform issue, not sure), but once we got past that, the stay itself was very nice. The house is clean and comfortable with lots of amenities and room to spread out, especially with two levels, and a lower level family/game room. The neighborhood is quiet, which is what we were looking for. Short drive to South Haven or Saugatuck.
