What a great experience and just a cute house! Our host was amazing, and we communicated almost every day! It felt like a taste of home and a Greta visit to one of my favorite childhood towns. Given the opportunity, we would so happily come back! I would highly recommend this property to anyone. Thank you for making a cozy place for this old thin blooded Floridian!

Cousins trip 2025

We had a wonderful vacation. The house was perfect for my daughters and I traveling with five small children. The kids loved the toys, especially the Playhouse and the patio was perfect for us adults. Susan was very helpful and responded quickly when we had a few questions.

Cute cozy home, close to the beach!

Very cute home, clean, comfortable beds and beautiful outdoor areas. The grounds are manicured and everything was in bloom and beautiful. The proximity to the beach was great- just a few blocks down. Loved the added touch of beach chairs to take to the beach and the master porch in the morning for coffee.

Great place

This was our second stay here. It is a great little place for a few days. The upstairs is not central air so leaving doors open at night is helpful. The kids enjoyed the play house and basketball. The outside shower is nice for rinsing everyone off.

Great Lakehouse

We enjoyed our stay in South Haven at this property. We were 4 adults and 2 children ages 6 and 8. The kids enjoyed the playhouse and the basketball hoop. The adults appreciated the backyard with the fire pit and the lovely outdoot patio. Beach access was only a few blocks away. Nice house and nice location.

Family beach trip

We loved our time in South Haven and we were so comfy in Susan’s home. The location was great-a few blocks from the beach and our kids loved either biking or walking the trips to and from. We did part of the Van Buren trail nearby. We had a couple of rainy days and her home was perfect for us all having space for playing/relaxing in multiple areas. We would most definitely return.
