Me and my wife had a great time at the Nest. It was a great location and right in the middle of everything. We were able to walk to the downtown area for shopping and local food places as well as out the back door to the Jazz Fest. The space was more than enough for us and was well kept. We didn’t want for anything. Very nice, neat and clean and super cozy. We would definitely recommend and stay again ourselves on our annual trip to South Haven.

Perfect home away from home!

My parents and I came here for my birthday/Mother’s Day weekend. This place is even nicer in person and is in a fantastic location, truly in the heart of the city and so close to the beach. We had such a relaxing weekend and even when it was raining, we had all the comforts and amenities as if we were in our own home so we could enjoy being inside! We will definitely recommend to all!

The Nest is centrally located to all sites and the beach. You can easily walk to the sites. South Haven is close to Orchards and Wineries in Fennville just off Star Highway. I would highly recommend the nest.

Beautiful place and great location downtown South Haven. A short walk to all the downtown shops & places to eat. Keyless entry was a breeze & we didn’t have any issues with finding parking nearby. Home was beautifully decorated, clean, spacious and absolutely wonderful! Owner was quick to respond to any texts. We had everything we needed for our relaxing trip!

About the host

Hosted by Renae

We fell in love with South Haven about 25 years ago and decided shortly there after it would be where we would lay down roots and great memories for our kids. We Started by renting cottages in town for a week here and there until we were able to buy our own in 2009 and have since became full time residents in 2018. We still LOVE South Haven!

Why they chose this property

We love to share South Haven with out of towers and felt there was a need for smaller rentals that didn’t require a full weeks rental.

What makes this property unique

The Nest is a great property because of its amenities, charm and location. We’ve tried to think of all the little details to make your stay comfortable and include the things you will need so that you don’t need to bring “the kitchen sink” with you while on vacation. We’re confident you will love our little swanky nest!
