Vacationed in South Haven meeting our Son, Daughter and their families staying at another rental close to South Beach. This rental looked exactly like the photos, no surprises. It was very clean, comfortable beds, no problems entering or following directions for cell phones, TV, air conditioning, etc. We are Seniors and Lake Michigan Beach was very accessible using the electric tram. The only problem was parking near the tram which is walkable if not a Senior and dog friendly! Rental was family friendly. The best for us was the ability relax in the well equipped rental and accessing the private beach without having to walk a long distance to watch the beautiful sunsets from the beach and spend time on the sands of Lake Michigan. We would meet our family at one of the great restaurants in South Haven. It was a very fun yearly family reunion in South Haven!

Great place

We had a great time at this property. Although it is not directly on the water, the beach is not too far. House was clean and everything was as described. Would definitely stay there again.

Family vacation

We recently stayed at this property for a week and had high hopes based on the location and photos, but unfortunately, the experience fell short in a few important areas.The biggest disappointment was the cleanliness and upkeep of the outdoor space. The patio, which we were looking forward to using, was dirty and covered in spider webs and bugs, making it essentially unusable. The hot tub also wasn’t clean, and all the outdoor furniture was dusty and covered in debris. It was clear the area hadn’t been cleaned or maintained before our arrival.Indoors, while the layout of the home was nice, there were cleanliness issues as well—crumbs on the kitchen floor and hair left in the bathrooms, which made it feel like the place hadn’t been thoroughly cleaned between guests.The front landscaping was also unkempt, with weeds taking over the yard, which stood out even more because the neighboring properties in the development had well-maintained yards and inviting fire pits.With a bit more attention to cleaning and maintenance, this could be a really great rental. The location and setup have potential, but we hope the owner takes steps to bring the property up to the standard of the surrounding homes.

Vacation for the dogs

We were looking for a pet friendly rental which is not easy to find especially with more than 1 dog.had a great time visiting. The house was clean and inviting. We ran into a slight hiccup at arrival as our code want working, but were able to get it resolved quickly. We loved the neighborhood and private access to the lake. Our dogs had a great time and so did we.

Beautiful new house - clean and well stocked. Very dog friendly owners! Management was very easy to contact and very quick to respond. The only two things I’d add for people to know is that the private beach is small and very rocky and not good for swimming/playing in the water, and that you only have access via the tram so don’t forget to bring your key (you can’t take the stairs down). Where it wasn’t rocky, the sand was very nice and a great beach to watch the sunset from.
