Wonderful weekend getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in South Haven. This 1 bedroom cottage was perfect and the cheese and wine upon arrival were much appreciated! My only negative feedback is the couch is a little dated and uncomfortable but everything else was amazing! Super easy access to the beach with all the necessary beach equipment provided. Loved that we had access to laundry and that our dog could stay with us as well. We were permitted to use the main house’s front porch which was nice since no one was in that house during our stay. Would love for the property to add an EV charger.

Lovely little place!

This was a great option for a short stay, even though we came right before the pool opened! It was so close to the beach we could see the water from the window, and close enough to town to walk in. Marta was quick and complete with communications, and the place was clean and well set up for us to arrive. Would totally stay here again! Thanks Marta

Short and sweet

My husband and I spent a couple days in the one bedroom cottage, which was very cute, clean and so comfortable! Upon arrival, the host left us a treat basket and a bottle of wine, which was such a pleasant surprise as we were there to celebrate our anniversary. The location was great, across the street from Lake Michigan and a short walk to downtown South Haven area. We would love to come back with more family and enjoy the pool! It’s a great property, you won’t be disappointed.

Perfect Birthday Trip

This was a perfect place to stay for a weekend birthday trip. Marta was so nice. The property was available hours earlier than expected. We loved the complimentary grills and fire pits.

Perfect stay

Cozy, well appointed, one-bedroom cottage. Very clean. Well maintained. Great amenities. Well stocked with lines, dishes, utensils, plates, condiments. Convenient laundry facilities and ample parking behind complex. Even complementary bottle of red wine and cheeses. Ideal location for exploring shores of Lake Michigan. Walking distance to South Haven downtown, harborwalk, and marina. Being mid-March, we couldn't take advantage of all outdoor amenities of pool and cookout equipment, but the kitchen facility was more than adequate. Beach and park across the street. Happy to visit again and highly recommend as there is a two-bedroom cottage and house to rent on property.

Easy Lake Living!

We loved our stay in the 1 bedroom cottage in South Haven. We really enjoyed the pool; our first experience using a saltwater pool and we loved it! We also were so thankful for how close we were to the beach which allowed us to enjoy a long morning walk and back for a sunset kayak paddle.. Having the bike rack on the property was a nice touch. Plenty of house bikes to use but we brought our own and felt good locking them up on the rack. All the amenities were great however my favorite part of the stay was the lovely original artwork all through out the property, which made it feel like home. The outside foundation provided both beauty and coveted any street noise. We hope to return next year!!
