The house was ideally located just a short walk to a beautiful beach and a bit further to the delightful downtown area. Much to do and see in South Haven. It was clean and well kept. The owner checked in with us to ensure that everything going well. I highly recommend this house and host.

Perfect July getaway

We have vacationed in South Haven annually for 20 years. We had the most pleasant, stress free week that we could remember. The weather was perfect, but I don’t think a rainy day would have changed that. The neighborhood is nice and quiet and the time we were at the house was spent on the lovely screened porch. There was also plenty of room in the house if anyone wanted to be alone or have some quiet time. Loretta was a gracious property owner/hostess and the staple pantry items that were included when we arrived was a nice touch and we were happy to leave some unused items behind. The only thing that could have made our time better is a longer stay. :)

Going to South Haven? STAY HERE!

Great location, easy walk to the beach. Convenient to stores, hiking/biking/running trails, restaurants, golf courses. House is roomy, we had 5 adults but could have comfortably had 8. Great screened in back porch, finished basement with nice pool table. Linens, towels, beach supplies provided. Owner communicates proactively and provides clear instructions on both the check in and check out processes. We couldn't have been more satisfied.

Gem with screened in porch

This property was nice and spacious; there were six of us and had plenty of room to spread out. The screened in porch was my favorite area, but the weather was chilly, so not able to use it as much as I would have liked to. Close enough to walk to the beach and there are plenty of beach towels and chairs. The kitchen had all the essentials and lots of room to cook. Would love to come again.

South Haven is beautiful

My husband and I rented this property with our four children for a nice end of the summer getaway. We enjoyed the location of the property and the neighborhood was very well kept. The house itself was nice, just needs some minor upgrades. Over all we had a nice stay, the shed had some beach items that came in very handy, plenty of sleeping areas and close to the beach. My family and I very much enjoyed South Haven and will visit the area again.

We loved this house! It was cute, clean, and perfect for our family. It’s the perfect place to stay for a vacation getaway to South Haven. It’s in a great location, close to the beaches and to downtown. We were easily able to bike to the larger beaches and downtown. We also walked to some of the smaller beaches which were only a few blocks away. The owner was also very kind and helpful in her communications with us to answer any questions we had. We’d definitely stay again!

A little slice of heaven

This was the perfect getaway for me, my husband, my sister-in-law and brother-in-law. Check-in was easy and Loretta answered any questions we had within an hour. The house met every expectation described in the listing and much more. It was clean and quaint and there were many times throughout our week stay where someone in our group commented that we had everything we needed. We shopped at the local farmers market for fresh fruit and veggies, we walked into town for dinner and ice cream, and we walked to the beach for a beautiful evening sunset. The house had plenty of space for the 4 of us and we found ourselves able to relax in the cozy living room, at the kitchen table or in our individual bedrooms. But our favorite place, by far, was the screened-in back porch where we spent most every day and every night drinking and laughing while we played board games. This was the perfect place we could call home for a week and we will definitely return.

Cute, spacious house. Loved the screened in porch and backyard. Great location!

The house was much bigger than I expected! The shed was a nice bonus because we used it to store our bikes. The pool table was a big hit with the kids! We absolutely LOVED the screened in porch and backyard. When we were at the house, we spent most of our time out there. My only complaint I have about the house is the upstairs rooms got very warm during the day. They did get cooler at night, but they were still warm. It was comfortable enough for sleeping at night but we had the ceiling fan on and 2 floor fans blowing. The location was great. It was an easy walk to Oak Street beach to watch sunsets and take beach walks. North shore beach was an easy drive and is where we spent our beach time. We rode our bikes most places. Kal-Haven trailhead was a short bike ride from the house. The owners were very nice and accommodating. Loretta was very responsive! We had a great trip and look forward to visiting South Haven again!

This is a good, comfortable house in decent condition. Location is great, very flexible rent conditions. We are staying there 2d time and planning to come next summer . The only issue we had this year was a cleanness of the house as outside porch had a lot of dust, carpet had spots and fridge needed additional cleanning.

Lovely getaway

We had a great time in South Haven. The house was in a good location on the North Beach, walking distance to beach and downtown. We also rented bikes which was another fun option getting around town. The home has a nice screened in porch on the back which was a nice addition. Also, they have beach chairs and other necessities in their shed for you to use, which was great! One less thing not to have to pack. Lastly, Loretta was very quick to respond to any questions we had prior to our trip as well as while we were staying. We would recommend this home for rental and look forward to a return trip in the future.
