Fantastic!

The property is very compact. A couple tripping hazards, from the laundry room into the kitchen, the dining room into the bathroom. At 23 weeks pregnant, I wasn’t happy to trip when I walked into the kitchen from the laundry room on first arrival. The furniture isn’t cozy, except for the couch that I didn’t sit on because I let the kids instead. I didn’t think 1300 square feet would be too small, bc we’ve lived in a 1400 square foot house before, but because of how it’s set up, it’s just a bit too small for our family. Lights going up the stairs would’ve been nice because it’s dark, steep, and narrow with a sharp narrow turn. You walk out of a room and it’s already a step down the stairs. The beds were comfortable, we didn’t have issues sleeping. The kitchen is well stocked and actually very spacious. The dining space was also spacious as well as the master bedroom. We did like the neighborhood, it was very quiet and clean, Good upkeep from the surrounding properties. It was an easy walk to Kids Corner playground area and the Lake.

Absolutely the best decorating I have seen in a rental so far with all the coziness as photos show! The walk into town was shorter than we expected based on the map and two blocks from Lake Michigan sunsets can’t be beat! Would definitely stay again! Just to note since I read it in other reviews, the master bed is like a marshmallow of cloudy comfort so you will definitely not find a firm bed there. But other than that we loved our stay!

The house is just as advertised and pictured. So clean and beautifully decorated. Loved how close it was to the lake. Perfect for my me and my husband. We were pre season and loved the small crowd on Mother’s Day weekend.

Quaint neighborhood, close to beach! House is cute and comfortable! Will definitely be going back! Thank you for a lovely stay!

My wife and I stayed here for a short getaway. The home was a wonderful place to relax. Just a short walk to the beach or to town for food and shopping. We had a great time in this cozy home.

Wonderful stay - great location!

This is a fantastic location. The house was clean and exactly as described. I would recommend a max of 2 adults. The upstairs is small with an attic feel, the stairs are old and very narrow, minimal outlets, and the the bunk bed room is stuffy, even with the window AC on in the attached queen. You need to walk through the bunk bed room with a squeaky door to get out. However it can certainly work for some children depending on ages/needs. Can't beat the location to the beach, bike/walk trail, and playground and close walk to town.

Cute decor, comfortable, short walk to beach, playground and downtown. Nicely furnished kitchen, many bikes and outdoor shower.

My husband and I really enjoyed this beautifully renovated, historic home that is two blocks off the beach and a short walk to all that South Haven has to offer. Our host was wonderfully communicative - checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. A very lovely stay and would highly recommend this property.

Easy walk to town and beach. Minor problem was resolved promptly after contacting the owner. Such a cute house and it had everything for a fun day at the beach. A very comfortable place for our family to spend time together.

This was a great location and place to stay to enjoy the lake, the cute town and local events! Hollander Tulip festival close,

Very cute house with master bedroom on first floor and 2 bedrooms on 2nd. Decorated like cape cod cottage. Very clean and location to the beach was a 10 minute walk

This was a lovely cottage that made for the perfect getaway for my husband and I. There's room for additional guests but we didn't use the upstairs at all. We loved the location, just a short walk to the beach for the most amazing sunsets. Being in town right before the busy season was perfect, most places were open, it wasn't crowded and it was easy to find parking. We really enjoyed that the house came with bikes, we rode all over town, including over to North Beach. We would definitely stay here again.

Our stay in this charming little cottage was wonderful! It was only the two of us so we didn't use the upstairs rooms, but there were two rooms upstairs, one with queen bed, and the other with a set of bunk beds. Both upstairs rooms were on the small side, but you're probably not renting this home to spend all your time in the bedrooms. The main bedroom on the first floor is SPACIOUS! The photos on the listing don't do the space of this room justice. There is an electric fireplace in the corner of the sitting area of the main bedroom and a comfy king bed on the other end. There is also a large TV in the main level room if you don't want to watch in the living room. The kitchen was nicely sized and has every modern convenience you could want. The dining room table seats six comfortably. The living room/sitting room was nice, and as long as you pull the TV out away from the wall on its bracket you can watch from the comfort of the sofa. Lastly, the bathroom (of which there was only one) was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Overall, we loved the size and location of the cottage. The decorating touches were perfect and my wife and I commented several times on how much we enjoyed the overall aesthetic of the home. The exposed ceiling beams and some of the more "rustic" design features might not be to everyone's liking, but we found it to be a balanced mix of modern and old school. The lakeshore was only a short, two-block walk away, and downtown South Haven was only a 3 minute drive away. This cottage was smack in the middle of everything we wanted to experience in South Haven.

The cottage was very clean with plenty of room for our family to visit and the décor was absolutely beautiful! We had everything we needed and were just a short 10 minute walk to downtown. The furniture was very comfortable and clean. The cottage was warm and cozy and even had an electric fireplace in the main bedroom. Would highly recommend!!

My family had a wonderful time at this beautiful and cozy cottage for a holiday getaway. Perfect location to lake and town.

Great location - close to downtown restaurants, shopping and the lake. Kids really enjoyed biking around town!

My husband and I love South Haven and fell in love with this historic cottage. The decor is so nautical and just flows from one room to the next. It has a very relaxed feeling to it. We loved the location to the beach and downtown.

Comfortable and perfect for us

We just wrapped up our 2nd time stating at this property and had a great week! This is such a great location and set up for families. Quick walk to the park and beach, and walkable to town. The amenities of the house make the time even better. Outdoor shower, beach basics, bikes & more. Our family looks forward to this trip as much as anything else throughout the year, we booked year three immediately after this one ended. Highly recommend!

The location was great! Super close to the bike trail, kids park and the view. We rented a golf cart (would highly recommend) and had a blast going around town with our kids.

Had a Great time in South Haven Loved it

Gorgeous home! Beautiful getaway in South Haven. Perfect location, beautifully decorated home with every detail taken into account. We loved our weekend here and will be back!

Wonderful cottage with a great location. The kitchen and laundry room were great and there were so many touches that made staying here very comfortable and easy for our group. I wouldn’t recommend this cottage, though for anyone who has concerns about the steps that go from the master to the dining room or the upstairs. The stairs to the second level are dark color and there is no light. My adult daughter fell down a few stairs one night trying to get down the stairs. I nearly fell down them when I went down one time. I worried about my husband having to get up at night and falling on the steps into the master, as they are visually difficult to manage since they are the same material as the flooring. Overall very comfortable but be aware of some issues with the upstairs and steps to many rooms due to the add-on rooms.

Beautiful property and great location. Was perfect for my family for our week in South Haven.

This was our first time visiting Lake Michigan and we fell in love! The property was exactly as described and the shed full of bikes (smaller bikes for kiddos too!) was a hit! We loved being able to walk to the playground every morning and evening, and it was great for our kiddos to have other children to play with to burn off some energy. We took day trips to Holland and Saugatuck (the dune ride is a must!) and loved how close it was back to the cottage. We visited in early June so the weather was cooler but it was nice to enjoy a family vacation while wearing shorts and a jean jacket! South Haven is a wonderful community and everyone we met was kind and friendly. We will definitely be back, hopefully every summer for a new family tradition!

Perfect spot for a family of 5. Great location. Had everything we needed plus the added bonus of bikes for everyone. Had 7 beautiful weather days and green flags everyday at the beach. We all had a great stay. Thank you!

Nice stay. Easy walk to the lake. Good proximity to town.

We knew the weather probably wouldn’t cooperate with us, but this was the perfect spot for a weekend getaway! We can’t wait to come back during the summer!

The house was perfect! Everything was comfortable and we enjoyed the fireplace. Everything we needed was provided. We had a great stay. Thank you!!!!

Wonderful experience. We plan to go back.
