Very clean rental in an amazing location with access to a beautiful and peaceful beach. There are several steps to get to the water, but it is well worth it when you get to the bottom. Quiet and relaxing place to stay. Hosts were pleasant and easy to communicate with.

South Haven was heavenly

We had a terrific time in South Haven. The downtown and surrounding areas provided a lot to do. The most impressive and enjoyable part of our visit was the property. The apartment was really nice and the views of the lake were breathtaking. It was quite relaxing to be able to be so close to the lake and enjoy the relative quiet. The property owners are wonderful people too.

A South Haven Treasure

Ann’s Cottage is a real gem. The cozy property is maintained meticulously and offers amenities many VRBO hosts don’t include. Sit back, relax and allow the lake breeze and sound of the waves calm your soul. The host is accommodating and friendly.

Spectacular with amazing views

We described it as a little slice of heaven. It was everything we could have asked for. The owners were great and we had everything we needed. Our favorite part was the little path that walked down by the lake and we set in those chairs about 75% of the time. Sunsets were just amazing. We will definitely be coming back !

Quiet, clean and lovely sunsets

My favorite part about Annie’s Carriage house is the proximity to Lake Michigan. From the carriage house windows, you have a partial view of the lake through the trees. If you walk to the end of the property, there are two Adirondack style chairs overlooking the water. It’s the perfect place to watch the sun set. There are stairs that lead down the bluff to a small private beach area. It was just a perfect stay! We look forward to visiting again.

Perfect!

The carriage house was perfect for my husband and me. It is very private with a nice deck where we could sit outside and have a view of the lake. Our favorite spot was the short walk to the bluff overlooking the lake. We enjoyed going down the steps and sitting on the landing and watching the waves coming in. We would stay here again if we come back to South Haven. The apartment was immaculate and well-appointed for two people.

Ann’s carriage house

Had a wonderful stay at this upstairs garage apartment. Ten minutes walk to the beach and a short ride to the trail that run through South Haven. This rental was perfect for a couple. Bed was comfy and the deck was a nice place to relax. This property had beach access and was great for watching the sunset. Bathroom was updated and great. Kitchen is small and simple but good for a simple meal. I cannot imagine a better place to relax and unwind in this quiet place. We loved it!

Good, Could be Great With Some Improvements

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The property was very clean, the location was great and it had all the amenities we needed and expected. There were a couple of things, however, that did diminish our experience. First, the shower stall is VERY tiny. I couldn't even shave my legs in it (and I'm not a big person). The bathroom is definitely big enough to accommodate a larger stall. Also, the air conditioning unit is very loud and it's in the bedroom, which affected our sleep. I would highly recommend the owner move the unit to the living area to minimize noise when guests are trying to sleep. The owner mentioned they had just replaced the unit prior to our arrival (which was appreciated!) so perhaps the previous unit wasn't as noisy. Again, we enjoyed our stay overall, but correcting these two things would definitely get us to come back.

Short Getaway Vacation

Renting experience was very good and so were the communications. The accommodation was very quaint and comfortable with only two small exceptions; the shower, which was tight but got the job done anyway and the view to Lake Michigan was a bit more overgrown than what the current photo shows. However you can walk to the edge of the property and get a good view. All in all a very nice rental.
