Location is on a quiet cul de sac in a residential neighborhood. The homes are set apart nicely & we had no problems with noise or neighbors.
Pleasant walk to beach-small public beach with no car parking. Be aware, the stairs down are very steep. Anyone with mobility or balance issues will not be able to navigate them. For those that get down safely, it's a level walk to the water.
Need a car or bike to get to downtown South Haven. Several family members did walk back one evening, but it is quite a walk for most.
Open main floor is great for a big group. Rooms are nicely decorated and comfortable. 2 living room areas for spreading out. 3 bathrooms, 1up & 2 down worked well for our family of 7 adults and 2 children. Master bedroom on main level is spacious as is the en suite with soaking tub, large glass shower & large dressing room. The 3 bedrooms upstairs are good sized & the shared Jack and Jill bathroom can create some surprises LOL
The kitchen is updated, roomy, open & well equipped. We cooked about half our meals for the week and found all the cooking, preparing and serving utensils we needed. The pantry cupboard is remarkably well stocked with spices and condiments. Enough inside dining seating was lacking for our family size. Luckily the weather cooperated & we sat around the outside table on the deck. It was cramped as the deck is small.
Noise from the open main level carries upstairs and those that go to bed early might find it bothersome.
The laundry/mudroom right off the garage entrance into the house is handy. We appreciated having a washer/dryer-but the dryer door needs switched so it opens and swings the other way. It was awkward and required ducking with each load.
Jeff, the homeowner, is very responsive and so nice and comfortable to speak with. We had a few minor issues that he handled very promptly and to our satisfaction. I felt he went over and beyond to be sure we were comfortable.
Our family enjoyed this home and the efforts the homeowners have gone to go make it a lovely and comfortable rental.
Thank you Jeff!
