Great location!

This was a great location and we were able to walk everywhere we went! We loved that we were able to bring our dog with us, but not sure we would again as it restricts us from staying all day at the beach! Communication with Tom & Peggy was great!

Weekend Getaway

Stayed 2 nights with 3 other couples - had a great time! When we weren't walking to downtown or the beach, we had plenty of room to relax in the home. The kitchen is a little tight to do any serious cooking, but it was perfect for light breakfasts and snacks. Would definitely consider staying again.

Perfect girls weekend

We had a wonderful girls weekend in this lovely home. The location was perfect, just a few steps away from great shops, restaurants and the beach. The home was spotless and the bedrooms were large and very comfortable. Great communication with the owner as well. Thank you for sharing your home with us, we are hoping to plan a return visit soon!

Second Visit

This was our second stay at this property. Exactly a year since our first stay. Everything was the same. Cannot beat the location, if your looking to hangout downtown a lot. The pet friendly nature of the property is what brought us back.

Great location. Perfect for a sisters weekend. Our weekend was too cold for the beach but we loved walking to restaurants, shops, and wine tasting. House was a little older but comfy furniture and a large kitchen table great for playing cards

The location is fabulous! It was great to be able to walk to absolutely everything. The house is super clean and all bedroom's are spacious. The only downside is that the bathrooms are tiny, as is typical in an older home. A small cabinet with a ledge to keep things in and on would be helpful. But the location more than makes up for it. We would book this home again.

South Haven Trip

Great location, just a block from downtown, and an easy walk to the beach. Neat old house, a good deal of space, kitchen had plenty of dishes, cutlery, and cookware; and had a ping pong table in the garage. We had a couple of issues with the house crop up during the week, and the host addressed them promptly and professionally. Would recommend to anyone going to South Haven.

Close enough to walk to downtown and the beach!

Peggy was great at communicating with us and check in was a breeze. The property was just like the pictures and description online. We spent a lot of time on that great porch and so did our pups. We could walk to a variety of restaurants and the beach. We played Ping Pong and grilled out for Father’s Day. South Havens Farmers Market is Wednesday and Saturday. We went to both. We bought fresh veggies, fruit, sourdough bread and grass fed beef. The best part was we walked everywhere! No worrying about parking. We will definitely stay again.

All about location

We are regulars in SoHa, and this is the absolute most convenient property for maximum South Beach and downtown enjoyment. Extra points for being dog friendly! Overall the house is clean, and could also use some general sprucing. Nothing that is a deal breaker, we are returning next year, but it does feel like everyone needs a little TLC. We were very comfortable, plenty of space for the 5 of us and the puppy. Looking forward to next year

A Great Property in a Great Location

This property was spacious. There were some aesthetic issues (e.g. closet door handles were broken) but the important items were functional. The location was the greatest feature -- only ~1 block from the main street (Phoenix). Overall a nice stay.

Our girls weekend in South Haven was really enjoyable. Having a place within walking distance from town and all the restaurants was so wonderful. It was nice not to have to drive everywhere. The house itself offered so many rooms and multiple areas to gather as a group. The best was when we had questions the management/ owner was easy to reach and super helpful.

About the host

Hosted by Peggy Herrington

Host profile image
Owners are from Chicago and have enjoyed vacationing in Southwest Michigan with their family for the past 10 years.

Why they chose this property

South Haven is our favorite vacation destination in the midwest. It's the quintessential Lake Michigan beach town, ideal for families, couples, or ladies' getaway weekends.

What makes this property unique

This spacious yet cozy cottage is only a 5-minute walk to the big waves at South Beach. Don't forget your camera--you'll want to capture the sunset from the South Haven Lighthouse pier. Afterwards, take a stroll up the beachwalk along the Black River and watch the boaters pass by. Enjoy dinner at one of South Haven's many restaurants, or relax with a cookout on the cottage's deck.
