I love the homey comfortable feel of the house and the rooms. Staff was attentive and communication was prompt. Breakfast was delicious. The beach is just across the street, lots of unique shops and restaurants a couple blocks away. We had a nice view of the lake from our room.

Great time at the Water View Inn

The Water’s View Inn is a beautiful old Victorian home that has been converted exceptionally well into a Bed & Breakfast. Our room was spacious and really comfortable with an excellent view of the lake.

Happy place

Service was remarkable and even called me to say we could check in early when ch meant I didn't have to wear my bathing suit on the 2 1/2 hr drive since restrooms closed at the beach. Always asked if he could do anything for us. Place is so comfortably and newly decorated. A few more upgrades will be done. Breakfast is a little too Gordon Foods for me though fresh fruit is available. Would like yogurt, hard boiled eggs, bagels, Bundes... Had a great view of Marina with a balcony. So relaxing, friendly, convenient to beach. Perfect get away.

We really liked the ambience of Waters View Inn as the breakfast was very good with homemade items and very good coffee. Our host Kevin had a great personality and made us feel very welcome. I didn’t like our room size but we had a room they are going to revamp. The bathroom and room were very small and outdated.

Quaint with Amazing location

This is a really quaint place to stay in South Haven. You cannot beat the location, one block in from the water and one block away from the public entrance of south beach. The exterior is lovely (the grass needs some tending to) but the main lobby has been renovated and is really beachy and friendly feeling. Breakfast in the morning was simple but did the trick. We had an older room, which met our needs but was a bit outdated. That said, some rooms are newer and looked beautiful. Make sure you inquire about that. All in all, really happy with our decision to stay here - location is also an 8 minute walk to downtown where all the restaurants are and a very delicious bakery across the street. Highly recommend!

We loved the location and the view. Staff is very nice. The only thing we didn't like is we didn't know we were located on the 3rd floor. We are in our mid 60's and it was difficult getting all our suitcases and stuff up the 3 flights of stairs. Otherwise, it was a wonderful place to stay.
