Perfect little getaway!

We are a family of 6 who came for a little 3 night getaway. The house was spacious and very clean! It had everything we needed to make a few meals at home. The backyard was perfect for hanging out after a day at the beach. We loved the walk ability to downtown South Haven and the beach.

Lovely rental, excellent weekend stay!

Small family reunion weekend. The rental accommodated our whole family nicely. We comfortably gathered, cooked on the back deck grill and enjoyed sharing all of our meals together at the massive and beautiful dinner table. The entire home was impeccably clean when we arrived. The beds were comfy. The finishes in the entire home seem like that of a newly built home and it was very beautifully decorated.We would highly recommend this rental.The location was exactly like we’d hoped it would be.If you stay, be sure to stop by the Farmer’s Market held every Saturday morning in downtown So. Haven. It’s a super fun experience!

Great space for family of four

The home was exactly as advertised. Very clean and comfortable for our family of 4 (parents 2 toddlers). The only snag we had was with the door code. Both the text and the email we received had blank spaces where the code should have been, which we didn’t notice until we were at the house. And after a long car ride with 2 kids and 2 dogs it was pretty irritating. It took about 30 minutes to hear back from the property management with the code. They did offer a late check out for the inconvenience. Other than that, though, we loved the house, proximity to playground and beach, restaurants, etc. and they had a great selection of games too. We were saved by the wagon they had on the side of the house - we used it every day! We would definitely return to this property.

Family fun at Blue Haven

The location and neighborhood are terrific. Such a beautiful town with very friendly people. What a treat! The house is nice and was functional for our needs. It felt a little bit like the attention to detail was lacking, so we recommend a couple of improvements, because we would stay there again, but these things would make it top notch:Re: check-in, we didn't get the code for the door and had to call for it. The person I spoke with could have been friendlier. Coffee mugs that will not tip over and that have useable handles would make life easier. It seems like a small thing, but every time we wanted coffee or tea we noticed it (also, the coffee maker was full of old coffee when we arrived). The grill was on its side on the deck so we couldn't use it.It would be good to have a few kitchen towels.It is nice to have bedside tables and lamps for those of us who like to read at night. The pillows are all quite hard and thick. It would be nice to have a variety of pillow types to choose from.All this said, I think this place has great potential!

Shanna, thank you for the feedback. We have relayed the information to our owners on how to make the property even better. Next year the home should have the renovation downstairs completed as well, which will add another living room, bedroom and bathroom. Also, sorry about the not so friendly answer to the call. We will find out who it was and make them aware. Hope to see you soon.

A few things to consider….

We enjoyed our stay. The property was clean and in a great location. There were a few things to note. The screen door entering the house was broken and off the track. I found 2 old dishclothes in the garbage disposal and there is something metal in the disposal. It made a clanging sound when we ran it. The front panel on the cabinet below the sink fell off twice onto my sisters foot. I put it back on but i would tighthen it. One light in the living room needs a new bulb. I could not find another one to replace it in the house. There were a few ants in the upstairs bathroom and down in the kitchen. Entry way rug was very dirty and could use a wash. I have pictures i can send if needed. Overall we had a great weekend. Just a few things to note. Please call me or reach out with any questions. Thank you. Allison freeman

Creaky bed upstairs made it hard to get a good night’s sleep. Teflon frying pans should be replaced. Otherwise, great accommodations.

Great stay!

We were able to walk to downtown, the Kids Corner playground and the beach in a short time. This was especially important since our group of 6 included kids age 4 and 8. The house was nicely furnished and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals.

Great place!

The property was beautiful and well maintained. The location was good, we could get downtown, to the beach and to kid's corner easily either on foot or by bike. We loved the back deck, complete with gas grill and fire pit. Cool Michigan evenings meant s'mores by the fire.

Perfect cozy neighborhood getaway home by the beach

We stayed at this VRBO in town for a wedding and extended weekend with some family. It was exactly as represented by the listing. It had all the basic needs for cooking, cleaning, and grilling. The rooms were extremely comfortable and the back yard is great for grilling out and hanging out by the fire at the end of the night. It's perfectly situated in a pretty quiet neighborhood. It's a 10 min walk to the beach and kids playground. The hosts were extremely gracious and helpful throughout our stay. I would definitely recommend and even stay again.

Brand new house

This house looked to be a new build, and it was very clean and up to date. My only suggestion would be to add blackout blinds to the upstairs bedroom, which gets direct morning sun.

Great Family Vacation

The house was everything it said it was. Perfect house for our family of 5 but would have accommodated more comfortably. Fifteen minutes to the beach, downtown area!!! Never got in the car until time to leave. Hoping for a repeat next summer!!
