Beautiful spacious home

This was a wonderful property for our family of 12 to spend a long holiday winter weekend. The house was spotless and nicely decorated, the bedrooms were comfortable and each had their own bath, there was plenty of space to spread out and the lower level game room was fun for the kids. We'd love to come back in the summer when the beach and pool can be appreciated.

South Haven Gem

What sets this home apart is the attention to detail throughout. The 6 bedrooms with en suites accommodated our large group very comfortably. We especially enjoyed playing ping pong, pool, and air hockey as well as relaxing in the hot tub. Emily at Anchor Point was fantastic at managing all of the details of our stay. Highly recommend this property! Can't wait to return.

A Perfect Getaway!We had an amazing stay at this vacation property! From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless. The check-in process was incredibly easy and stress-free, which set the tone for a relaxing trip.The home itself is beautiful, clean, and thoughtfully maintained. The highlight for us was definitely the pool – crystal clear, and surrounded by a peaceful, setting. The children spent hours swimming and playing in the water.The kitchen was another standout feature. It was impressively well stocked with everything we needed – plenty of cookware, utensils, and even some thoughtful extras!Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

The house was all we could have asked for. My 5 siblings and their spouses all had plenty of room including a private bathroom for all. The kitchen was the best equipped that any of us had ever seen. The property management team kept in touch, but I cannot rate their response time since absolutely nothing needed their attention. I hope to use this property again and would recommend it with no reservations.Thank you so much for the great memories.

Awsome home

A home is exactly what this felt like. Great attention to details. We are a group of friends who have been taking various trips together for over 30 years, and we all agree, that this house is the best place we have ever stayed. The bedrooms with attached baths were great for privacy and convenience as we got ready for each day's adventure. Lots of little spots in the house to take a minute to yourself,too.Host was very responsive to any questions we had. Seriously thinking of a return trip.

Wedding weekend rental

This home is amazing! The house itself is beautiful and spacious. We were not expecting each room to have its own attached bathroom and certainly not 3 laundry rooms! It was perfect for our large group, at no point did we feel crowded or on top of each other. Exploring the house was half the fun, all weekend we kept finding/noticing new decorations and amenities we hadn’t previously noticed. I’m so happy we chose this rental for our wedding weekend!

Perfect Get-Away

Stayed the week with our college age kids and several of their friends. The house was perfect in every way. In addition to being clean and spacious, it was the best equipped house I’ve ever rented for hosting a larger group. The kitchen was stocked with all the essentials and then some. (There’s a stand alone ice machine for goodness sakes.). There were three sets of washers and dryers, three fridges, pool floats, a gazillion bikes — all in great working order. And while we didn’t spend a ton of time on the beach, It’s proximity to South Haven and Saugatuck allowed us to enjoy even the rainy days. Thanks VRBO!
