Idyllic Location - Walk to Town and Beaches

Lovely home with wrap-around front porch in idyllic location in the town of South Haven. Six short blocks to Dyckman Beach, eight short blocks to North Beach. Pass by the picturesque marina on the easy, four-block walk to downtown South Haven, a downtown filled with delectable restaurants, delightful boutique shops, and an old-fashioned movie theater. Steps to the nationally-renowned Kal Haven Trail, kitty corner from the Optimist Tot Lot Park, and just across Dyckman Bridge to Stanley Memorial Park. A fabulous location!

Charming home with a great location

We enjoyed staying in this house and especially its location. It was one of the most well stocked cottages we have ever stayed in. It had everything we needed, and then some. It was an easy walk to town, and the neighborhood was charming. We would stay here again!

Nice Lake House

We enjoyed our stay at this lake house with 3 adults and 2 kids. The front porch with swing is a slice of heaven and the kitchen table was great for gathering after cooking dinner on the grill. Quick 5 minute drive to north and south beaches (Too far to walk to the beach with all of our beach gear and kids) and walkable to downtown area. The owners were very communicative.

This was the perfect house for our first family vacation! We have three little girls (5,3, and a baby) and we made great memories both at the beach and in this home. We especially loved the porch swing! It was so clean and very well stocked with everything we needed. We will definitely be back!

Cute and cozy

The house was adorable and comfortable. Only wish we would've known there wasn't an iron and a blow-dryer, which normally wouldn't matter, but we were in for a wedding, so those would have been very helpful. We would stay there again though!

Great location and neighborhood

We felt very safe in this home and this neighborhood. We loved the ease of walking to local eateries. The beds were comfortable and the living room had a nice vibe to hang out and talk in the evenings. The reason I didn't give it a "5" is that it is a little rough around the edges. The porch needs a little attending to (sagging boards and a coat of paint) but it was very clean and convenient.

Great home close to South Haven

We loved staying at Debbie's house. It was a very charming house. The location is great. If you are into biking, the Kal-Haven trail is just a couple blocks away. If you want to go to the heart of South Haven, that's just a couple blocks away. The beach is probably also walkable, but we just drove. The house was very clean. I would recommend this as a place to stay to anyone visiting South Haven. We will definitely rent from Debbie again.
