Great spot

The cottage was clean, comfortable, and just what we needed for a few days away. Smaller beaches within walking distance and the larger ones a short car ride; the South Haven area is always fun !

Great spot!

Brigitte’s place was very nice and clean with great outdoor space for yard games and a camp fire! It was also an easy walk to the beach although the one closest by was very tiny. We had better luck driving a short distance to the slightly larger public beaches as we were cognizant of social distancing. Overall we loved the place and location and would stay again!

This place was perfect for 2 couples! They provide everything you could possibly need!

Brigitte was an excellent communicator and the home is very nice, clean, and excellent location. It couldn’t have been more perfect. The closest beach is very small but there are 2 other small beaches within walking distance. Just get there early if you want a space! Also other large beaches close by! Very close to town. I can’t say enough good things about this place!

Super cute, clean, convenient cottage!

My family and I had a wonderful time during our stay at this cottage. It's quiet street location just a short bike ride away from several beaches was perfect. Very walking friendly as well. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking necessities and gas grill was an added bonus. Use of the on-site beach chairs and wagons was super helpful too. Can't wait to return again, and for even longer! Thanks!!

This was a great place to stay!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was very clean and equipped with everything we needed. Brigette was very nice and made sure we were comfortable. The location is perfect since it is only a short walk to the beach. We will be sure to reserve this cottage again when we go back to South Haven!

About the host

Host profile image
John and I are avid travelers and have loved staying at other peoples homes around the globe. Our family have been coming to South Haven since the 1960's so we were thrilled that we decided to buy our own property! We love the area and it is our happy place for our large family to get together and share traditions and memories!
We currently reside in the Chicagoland area, and try to get to the property as often as we can.
We are excited to share our home with you and hope that you will visit and enjoy all that the South Haven area has to offer!

Why they chose this property

We love the surrounding area and were happy to find a property that could comfortably fit our family. We are on a residential tree lined street with a large lot. We plan on planting fruit trees and a garden to be able to share with our renters eventually as well.

The cottage is on a large lot on a quiet street, but yet so close to the downtown and surrounding areas. The beach nearby is a short walking distance. Although it is not as large as some of the other public beaches, we like the fact that it is safe and typically only used by nearby residents.

What makes this property unique

My favorite part about the cottage is enjoying my coffee in the morning on the porch watching the birds and all the wildlife. The kitchen is also great as it is large enough to have more than one helper with the meals!
