South Haven Girls' Trip

When we arrived, the place had not been cleaned from the last stay - beds not made, toys in bed, towels in bathtub, etc. After several calls to the owner, I reached out to VRBO and they were able to reach the owner. I reported the cleaning issue and the owner offered another house close by instead. Upon arrival, the house was clean, but no heat nor hot water. After a couple hours the serviceman arrived and fixed both issues. The owner was very accommodating during this whole process. After the issues were resolved, the stay was extremely relaxing and enjoyable. The house was very nice and conveniently located!

perfect little cottage

This was the perfect little cottage for our stay in South Haven. It was spotlessly clean and had all the amenities that we needed. It is the perfect location for walking everywhere - beach, shops, restaurants.

Wonderful girls’s Weekend Getaway

This cozy and cared for historic cottage was exactly what my mom, sister and I needed for a weekend getaway in the winter. We had everything we needed, so comfortable and close to South Haven shopping and waterfront. Someone even came out twice and shoveled the sidewalks and driveway, as it snowed several inches during our stay. I’m looking forward to coming back!

Cute & Clean

We enjoyed our time in South Haven. The house is close to the beach and town. I didn’t realize there was only one bathroom - off the kitchen - not next to the bedroom, but since it was only the two of us it was manageable. Well decorated and clean. Thank you.

Loved our stay

We loved our stay in South Haven at this property! The house is beautifully decorated & clean. It had many things to make our stay easier; a fully-stocked kitchen, beach chairs, umbrella, books, toys, etc. The location is very convenient to the playground and the beach. It is also walkable into downtown. Would recommend!

Sweet South Haven Cottage

Our family enjoyed our stay in South Haven. The house was the perfect size for our family of five. The front porch was a lovely spot to sit and read and play games in the afternoons. The host was very kind and responsive. Michigan is a treat!

The cottage was exactly like the pictures. Very nicely decorated and perfect. We enjoyed relaxing and catching up with each other. We made frames out of our mom's jewelry. Can't wait till our next trip.The only things missing was handrails on the deck and to the basement.. Otherwise PERFECT

Wonderful Weekend

My wife and I stayed in the cute place for the weekend to get away. The house was wonderful and a great location for us. Short walk into town for entertainment and dining, slightly longer and more relaxing along the beach. Very much enjoyed our stay her, and would definitely come back.

Cozy cottage!

We stayed here with our 18 month old for a quick anniversary weekend getaway and it was delightful! Perfect cozy little spot, ideally located just a few blocks from the lake and Kids Corner Park while still close to town. Very clean too and easy to check in. It was the perfect spot!
