Great location. Can walk to everything and we rented bikes and had a lot of fun doing that. There is also a wonderful bike trail. The inside of the house was very clean and comfortable. It was very quiet at night for sleeping. The only improvement needed is the exterior. There were two porches in the front, but both had too much moss and mold to feel comfortable sitting out there. In the back lawn, we did not want to let the dog free because there’s a lot of dirt versus grass. We did have a wonderful vacation. The beach equipment available to bring was excellent.

South Haven Stay

This was a wonderful property and very clean! Very walkable to the beach and downtown area! The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed making a few dinners! We also enjoyed a few night by the fire pit. Great home for a South Haven getaway

Great location

This house was new and clean. Pet friendly! It is an easy walk to the beach. The stairs are a bit steep, so keep that in mind if you have trouble with stairs. The kitchen had everything we needed. The beds were not very comfortable, but all in all a great place to stay.

Great location

Overall great location and house. Less than a mile to the beach, easy access to kids corner and easy walk to all the shops and restaurants (around a mile walk). This was our second time staying here and we just love the location. Great proximity to the beach and kids corner which we went to daily. It was also an easy walk to all the shops and restaurants. The one frustration is there's a high cleaning fee and you also pay extra to have your dog for "special cleaning" yet sitting on the couch or floor, you end up with dog hair all over you. Our dog doesn't shed and we were constantly covered in dog hair. I would have thought for the higher fees it wouldn't have been this way. We stay at a lot of dog friendly places and do not have the same issue. Even with that frustration, we would stay here again simply because we love the location.

Definitely recommend!

This property was exactly as described. The kitchen is fully stocked, better then any other rental i have used in the past. My family and in-laws like to cook so we are typically desiring more from the kitchen supplies which was not the case here. They could use a few more kitchen towels but with a washing machine it wasn’t a problem. The yard worked perfect for our dogs. Be aware that 1/2 of the fence is lower then standard fence height. For large dogs or jumpers this can be easily jumped. We have two really well behaved large dogs that could jump the fence if they wanted but it was not an issue for us. There was a toddler rail for one of the beds which was very helpful for our 3 year old. The beach supplies were also plentiful. The garage had 3 wagons, 4 beach chairs, sand toys, umbrella and 2 tubes for the water. The walk to the beach with the wagons was very easy. We very much enjoyed our stay!

Great location

Great location, about 15-20 minute easy walk to the shops and restaurants. Easy access to the beach (2 blocks away). There's a great kids park within a block or two as well. Overall great house and met our family's needs. Would definitely stay here again.
