We had a wonderful time in the lovely Victorian purple house. Spent a lot of time on the porch. The proximity to town was perfect. An altogether great getaway.

Great location in-town South Haven, MI. We love this town and return every year with family. This property is very good for a large group - we had 10 people. Updated kitchen and A/C make this a comfortable place to spend some time. Lots of room for relaxing, cooking and walking to town or to the beach.

We will be back.

Location is perfect. Short walk to anywhere you want to go in downtown South Haven. The listing was exactly how the house was, spacious rooms, plenty of bathrooms, kitchen area is perfect for cooking or entertaining and very clean. Communication with management was professional and timely. Our entire group would stay here again.

Nice house and big

It is a very nice property close to beach and downtown shopping. Parking spot are only two. With third being in front of garage but if you park there you will get a ticket from the city for blocking the sidewalk. There is parking close by but it does require some walking or shuttling cars around. But we enjoyed our stay very much with 5 adults and two toddlers. I would definitely recommend the property and would definitely stay there again. It has 3 King , 3 queen and 2 twin beds. With 3 bathrooms.

Hi Danny! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review - we really appreciate your feedback! We're sorry to hear that the parking situation was somewhat lacking, we will definitely add that to our list of concerns moving forward; it's great to hear that you were able to enjoy your stay with us regardless of that frustration, however, and that you want to come back! We would love to have you whenever you're ready. Sincerely, Shores Vacation Rentals

Beautiful house in a great location. We loved waking up every morning and taking a quick stroll to a coffee shop and sitting on the porch in the evenings. It was nice having a first floor bedroom and bathroom for my parents. We truly enjoyed our stay!

Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad you enjoyed the home and its location. It sounds like those morning walks for coffee and relaxing evenings on the porch made for a great stay. We're also happy to hear the first-floor bedroom and bathroom worked well for your parents. Thank you for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back again!
