Great location!

This was the best location in all the years of vacationing in south haven for us. Close to town, incredibly close to the beach-perfect spot with great walk-ability. We took the kids in a wagon everywhere (2 and 4). The house was clean, provided the essentials and gave access to their beach equipment and wagon which is a huge plus! We loved the fenced in yard. Overall a fantastic property that we will def consider staying at again!

Best little house in South Haven

The property is perfect for our family weekend. It is within walking distance to town and only a couple of blocks from the beach. The 4 seasons room is a perfect place to gather with family for dinner or board games. We had a great time and will be back again.

Close to South Beach, riverfront and town

We had a smaller group for this visit and this house was perfect as it still offered walking distance to the beach/riverfront and just a slightly longer walk to town. Great mix of large and small social spaces indoors and outdoors. We put the kitchen to use for dinners in making our evenings that much more relaxing without chasing reservations or waiting. There's a mix of board games and puzzles at the house along with working record player and curated collection. Roku makes it easy to keep up with your shows if needed.

Quiet Great Location Very Walkable

Everything was as described. Lovely, tree-lined shady neighborhood to walk through and see all the lovely, well-kept homes and gardens. I do wish there had been a way to directly access the front porch as that was THE shady, people-watching, outdoor spot we wanted to sit at to enjoy our morning coffee and take-out lunches. Because the front door is locked, you have to walk out the garage and around the house to sit at the front porch. The backyard is visually a little barren and the picnic table was too sunny to eat at for most of the day with no shade. We did not use the yard at all. Owner was kind to text me to let us know that we could check in an hour earlier. This was greatly appreciated. Yes, I would stay here again if we return to South Haven!

Everything's on One Level

It was a great location for us (old) girls to gather. Most of us are members of the American Legion which was just one block up and is an awesome place to watch the sunset. We liked being on one level. The kitchen was small and needed more serving/mixing bowls as gourmet food is always something we look forward to cooking. The ice maker was not working, so we had to supply our own ice. Our favorite room we called "The Fish Bowl" which was an open room with many windows, a huge table with chairs where we gathered every morning and night. Curtains or shades would have given us some privacy, it is a very busy street corner for foot and car/truck traffic., plus there are two houses under construction and they start early! .We made due with one shower thanks to a large water heater. We didn't use the TV. The firepit and the grill are located in the far corner of the fenced in back yard, so we didn't use them either. Ben was super helpful and communicated with us by text. We had a nice place to stay for our annual getaway.
