We had such a wonderful stay and Olga was an incredible host. The house has everything you will need--especially for the kids--and a lovely outdoor area to enjoy the beautiful weather. We walked to the beach each day and downtown at night for dinner--and even had fresh tomatoes from the garden as a treat. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend!!

We were fleeing tropical storm Debbie but still wanted some beach and sun. Got both and a perfect home in a great location at this spot. Highly recommend.

The house was very nice and a great location to the lake. I only wish we had a little nicer weather so we could have enjoyed the outside area a little more.

This home is in a great neighborhood and close to the beach and terrific playground. Also just a short walk downtown. Olga was very kind, welcoming, and responsive. We were 5 people and it was very comfortable. Accommodations for 10 would not be a problem. Would definitely return here for another visit

Our family stayed in this home as it is close to the beach and Kids Corner and not far from Kalamazoo where we had a wedding to attend. It was so clean and had everything you could possibly need for a vacation home. The kitchen appliances are new, the beds are comfortable and they even had toys and games for our 2 and a half year old granddaughter. We enjoyed the fire pit every night in the crisp fall temperatures and are hoping to come back in the summer to enjoy the beach and water! Olga was very responsive and made sure our stay at Sabina's Sandcastle was everything we were hoping for! The price is right, the home is great and close to everything. Don't pass this one by!

Wonderful place for families
My extended family all enjoyed a few days staying in this beautiful home and it was perfect! The kids room, board games, baby gear and fun bunk bed room really made it a great stay for the little ones. We especially loved the openness of the first floor and backyard. Thank you for the beach chairs and kid beach toys - one less thing to pack!

First class stay!
Lovely home! It was close to town and the also to the lake. The home itself was nicely decorated and had plenty of space. We didn't have a chance to use the yard or the firepit, but it looked really nice. We enjoyed cooking some nice meals at the house, and there we were pleasantly surprised that the kitchen was nicely equipped. I highly recommend this property!

September getaway
I enjoyed everything! The house was clean, comfortable, quiet. Loved the decor. My granddaughter didn't spend the night, but was there for an evening and loved the playroom! The backyard and deck were a perfect spot for a relaxing evening. I would definitely stay again.

Great host & location
Really nice place, well maintained and decorated. It was easy to get comfortable in the house. Agree the kitchen is very well stocked with all the housewares you could imagine plus a good starter pantry with basic spices plus some other non perishables. Also lots of cups, plates etc for kids. And nice selection of tots and books to keep kids of various ages busy. Outside there was plenty of space. Location is great too. We walked to the playground, beach, splash pad and town. Host was very responsive when we reached out and gives a ton of great advice! Book it!

A 13th Birthday Get Away
Thank you Olga, the owner, for making our stay at Sabina's memorable. The house is beautiful and comfortable and had everything we needed to make our daughters' 13th birthdays fun .The kitchen is stocked with all the pots and pans and tools you need if you like to cook and the beds are comfy and warm. It is a block's walk to the lake and it sure was beautiful, even in the fall! There were surfers by the pier on Halloween and our daughters trick or treated in the neighborhood. The homeowners that were there were so excited to see them! We played games and had a wonderful time! Thanks again!

Perfect Family Getaway
Absolutely fabulous stay with our family at Olga's home in beautiful South Haven! Everything you could possibly need in a vacation home is available, kitchen necessities, toiletries, beautiful backyard, beach access...you name it, it's there! We loved the adorable toy room for the kids, the fire pit was perfect for s'mores and bonfires, hammock for an afternoon nap! It was a short 2 block walk to the beach and to the huge kids play area. The sunsets were breath-taking! Very clean home, excellent communication with the owner. We made amazing memories here with the kids, would love to come back one day soon! Thank you Olga!!

Perfect spot for family vacation
I can't say enough good things about this house! As soon as we walked in my 2 year old discovered toys throughout the house, including a ton of dress up clothes. She was in heaven! The kitchen had everything we needed. Beach chairs, toys, a cart to take everything to the beach, coolers and beach bags were also provided. Location to the park and beach were perfect. And we loved spending the evenings in the backyard.
The owner was very responsive and easy to work with!
If traveling to South Haven for the first time a few of our favorites were Taste for dinner and Bumbleberry Acres for blueberry picking and farm animals!

Cozy home away from home
We had a lovely stay at the Sandcastle. Olga made everything easy and was available for any questions/concerns. The location was perfect, just a short stroll to the water. The home had just about everything one would need, expect for the coffee pot which is a Keurig. We ended up purchasing a French press at Meijer to make our own coffee. The only real disappointment was the lack of screens on windows as we were hoping to come north from St. Louis to enjoy the fresh Lake Michigan summer air. The beds were not the most comfortable, but the decor is calm and soothing, and we were quite inspired by the organization of the house with baskets galore and everything in it's place! the stacked washer/dryer was fantastic and looked brand new.
South Haven is a quaint town and the Sandcastle neighborhood is quiet and family friendly for sure. However, the restaurant options in town left a lot to be desired, and strangely there is almost nonexistent or inadequate patio seating at any of the "nicer" restaurants. And the one restaurant we tried to sit in their limited patio did not allow wine to be served outside. We had much better meals in nearby Saugatauk (Farmhouse Deli, The Southerner). We did order take out a few times from 2 local eateries though we wouldn't recommend. Sherman's Ice Cream was worth the wait in line however! Overall, a nice escape during a global pandemic!

Wonderful stay at a well appointed and cozy home
Well located for an easy walk to the beach or to town, this home immediately feels like a home away from home. A minor blip with a broken dishwasher was our only issue, and Olga jumped through all of the hoops to correct the problem. What could have been a problem for foodies such as ourselves, did little to stop us as we made use of all of the other wonderful tools and serving pieces in the fully stocked kitchen and pantry to enjoy ourselves to the fullest. From pool toys for the children and games for us all, we had a wonderful time at Sabina's Sandcastle. Highly recommend this home!

Home away from Home
This home was a perfect “home and away from home” experience for our short trip to South Haven. The home was comfy and cozy and very well kept. Plenty of room and sitting areas both downstairs and upstairs to relax with family. There were endless board games family fun as well as a charming back yard for relaxing on a hammock or enjoying a night time fire pit. The kitchen is fully stocked with essentials and the home is super close to south beach and to all the downtown shops and restaurants. Owners were very responsive and great to work with. Would stay again!

Gorgeous home, perfect location!
We had such a lovely and relaxing weekend away at Sabina’s Sandcastle. We have three young boys so this house was perfect, it is very spacious and kid friendly with a big yard to play in. A walk to the lake and ice cream and we even walked into town. Highly recommend staying here. Thank you Olga.

Great house!
My husband and our 2 kids stayed at Sabina’s Sandcastle for a week. I never write reviews, but this house is so worth writing a review about. It has absolutely everything you need, in a perfect part of town, and only a couple blocks from an awesome playground and the beach. While we drove into downtown, it is a walkable distance as well. They even have a playroom for the kiddos, we didn’t need to break out the toys we brought for them. Thank you for a wonderful stay and we hope to be back next year!

Could not have been better!
A friendly, responsive owner, excellent location, clean and comfortable furnishings, an abundance of supplies, wonderful yard with a garden and fire pit, kid-friendly - there's just nothing to fault about this property! My family, including three little ones under 5, spent 10 days here and could not have enjoyed it any more. There is plenty of room for togetherness as well as separate spaces for those times you want to be a little less "together." The kitchen was very well supplied with every imaginable utensil and appliance, and a great deal of care was obviously put into decorating and maintaining this home. We loved it and can't imagine anyone not doing the same. It is an easy walk right down the street to the Kids' Corner playground and the blue stairs to the beach; it's also an easy walk to downtown, the farmers' market, and the marina. We're already missing it and thinking about a return visit. Thank you, Olga!

Ideal location for our family
This house worked out perfectly for a short trip to South Haven. We have two kids, ages 3 and 6, and being close to the Kids' Korner park and walking distance to South Beach was perfect for us. The house was clean, beautiful, and very practically designed, with lots of extras available for guests to use like beach toys, a kids' playroom and reading room upstairs, and a hammock and multiple seating areas in the backyard. We will aim to stay here again if we make a similar trip to South Haven - I highly recommend it!

Amazing house and location!
From start, during and finish Olga was amazing! The house I can't say anything negative, you want for nothing in the house, bring your food and drinks and you are set! Our 2 year old loved the playroom. The backyard was perfect to rest in the hammock or let our daughter play. The location to Kids Corner you just can't beat. We were there everyday and location to beach stairs was close as well or to watch sunsets over lake Michigan. We rented a golf cart for quick and easy transportation to and from town, which the whole family enjoyed. Overall if I was to come back I would definitely stay here again. Oh and the lights in the front porch such a nice touch to relax outside, especially the couple times we had some morning rain.

The house has everything you may need or can think about. We came with some items but all was already there.
