We enjoyed our stay! The home was conveniently located near restaurants, shopping, and the lake. It was clean, well-equipped, and had plenty of games, making it great for families with children. The property, inside and outside, could use a bit of regular maintenance and upkeep, and we would have preferred a more secure check-in process to receive the keys, but overall it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Great location - short walk to watch the sunset on Lake Michigan, and only .6 miles to the town of South Haven. The house is just as described, and was very comfortable for 2 adults and 2 dogs. The host provided many amenities: games, snacks, and we appreciated having a washer & dryer available. Communication was easy, and so was check-in/check-out.

Cozy cottage

This home was the perfect place to experience Southhaven. It's close enough to the beach, but we still preferred driving/parking closer. Plenty of things to do at the cottage if it rains. The rooms were clean and equipped with all of the basic needs. It's safe and people are so friendly in the town.

Comfortable home for families

We were very happy to find that the owners had provided so many little extras. The kitchen was equipped with plenty of cooking equipment, which is often not the case with rental properties. Although we did not have young children, there was a closet of supplies for family games. The wifi worked well. There was plenty of room for three adults and a dog. We had a good stay.

Great vacation

This property was very clean and well stocked with all we needed. Elizabeth was very pleasant and responded to all emails in a very timely manner. The only downside was the window air conditioners. There was one in the living room and in one bedroom. They ran constantly and did not cool the main bedroom very well.

I'm so glad you had a nice time at the house. In the note you left us at the property, you mentioned that the a/c had a hard time keeping up because you liked to keep the windows open. Even though we had cooler temps during your stay, it's really important to keep the windows closed so the a/c can function properly. We'll look forward to hosting you again next summer!

Perfect spot for a lovely family stay

It’s hard to find an affordable stay in South Haven for a single family. When we found this home, we were delighted! The hosts were excellent and thought of every single small detail we could ever want! The house is simple and small, but it’s clean, fully stocked, and in a wonderful location. We easily biked everywhere and on the days when we had bigger beach hauls, we drove our car and found a close parking spot. If you’re looking for fancy, this isn’t for you. However, if you’re looking for clean, simple, attention to detail, and affordable, look no further! We had a blast and will definitely be back next year!

About the host

Host profile image
We are year-round South Haven residents and we love everything that southwest Michigan has to offer! We especially love spending time at the beach in the summer. Our favorite places to visit in town are Sherman's, Kid's Corner and Taste.

We are both teachers and foster parents, so we kept our love of kids in mind when we set up the house and added in lots of beach and house toys!

Why they chose this property

We have worked hard to ensure that we can create a budget-friendly vacation experience for all families!
