Cute cozy home, close to the beach!

Very cute home, clean, comfortable beds and beautiful outdoor areas. The grounds are manicured and everything was in bloom and beautiful. The proximity to the beach was great- just a few blocks down. Loved the added touch of beach chairs to take to the beach and the master porch in the morning for coffee.

What a great experience and just a cute house! Our host was amazing, and we communicated almost every day! It felt like a taste of home and a Greta visit to one of my favorite childhood towns. Given the opportunity, we would so happily come back! I would highly recommend this property to anyone. Thank you for making a cozy place for this old thin blooded Floridian!

We enjoyed our stay in South Haven at this property. We were 4 adults and 2 children ages 6 and 8. The kids enjoyed the playhouse and the basketball hoop. The adults appreciated the backyard with the fire pit and the lovely outdoot patio. Beach access was only a few blocks away. Nice house and nice location.

Family beach trip

We loved our time in South Haven and we were so comfy in Susan’s home. The location was great-a few blocks from the beach and our kids loved either biking or walking the trips to and from. We did part of the Van Buren trail nearby. We had a couple of rainy days and her home was perfect for us all having space for playing/relaxing in multiple areas. We would most definitely return.

South Haven Treasure

We loved staying at this home! Great location. Within walking distance to downtown and the lake but yet, far enough away to feel secluded from the busy-ness of the town. House is lovely and super clean! Pictures are charming and represent house well but it is better in person. Highly recommend and we will most certainly seek to stay here again in the future.
