We loves all the toys and games. Our grandson had a great time. Great location with an easy walk to the beach. We really enjoyed South Haven. Kids Corner was a perfect spot for the grandson to burn off some energy.

Enjoyed a wonderful Labor Day weekend with family thanks to the thoughtful added amenities provided. From beach umbrellas, beach chairs, water noodles, toys, games, and books for the children. Thank you!

Overall we liked the property and loved the toys for the kids, plus bikes. However, it smelled of mold when we entered the front door (downstairs living area was the only place with the odor).there was pink mold in both showers on the walls which was probably exacerbated by no fans in the bathrooms. In one of the bathrooms the paint was peeling off the ceiling and base boards, and the shower curtain had pink mold. We paid a lot of money to stay here, and it was not fair that it wasn't properly maintained.

The location is perfect! Quiet street, walking distance to beach access and a short drive to downtown South Haven. The cottage is fully stocked with anything you need to make meals (which we prefer to do when on vacation with small children). There are also toys and books for children that my kids loved! The cottage was very clean with plenty of towels and linens for a week. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay. The property was as advertised. We needed a few things that the property manager (Jaqua Realty) readily provided. Location is great!
10.0 / 10.0
Property was clean and spacious. The screened in porch is very nice and there are three bathrooms. The house has all sorts of helpful stuff in it like dishes and beach accessories. You can walk to the nearest beach but the beach is very narrow (private property on right and left marked with metal stakes). It is a short drive, however, to other beaches. We especially liked North Beach and another one close by, I think it was called Packard. We would stay at this property again.
10.0 / 10.0
This rental was in a great spot with only a few minutes walk to the beach. One night we took the bikes in the garage down there. The rental was in a beautiful neighborhood too that felt completely safe. The house was very nicely decorated and had enough space for all 4 of us. They had loads of games and books for all ages. We didn't need to communicate with the rental people any more than what the well informed texts and email info gave us. All of us really enjoyed our stay.

Good location. Short drive to town. Quiet. Outfitted with all you need. Lots of games and books and toys for kids. Short walk to beach access.
6.0 / 10.0
The Cozy Cottage is a small home in a nice, quiet neighborhood. In comparison to other rentals, it is an affordable options. While my family loved South Haven, we were not wowed by this property.
There are 3 bedrooms (2 with queen beds and one with two twin beds). The home comfortably fits 6 people. There is a sofa sleeper in one of the bedrooms and in the family room which is how the listing states 10 can stay here. This is a stretch in my opinion. When the sofa bed is opened up, there is virtually no room to walk in the bedroom.
The house is cutely decorated but in need of updating. We had a difficult time cooking in the oven as it was dirty and caused it to smoke when in use. There was no exhaust fan or fans of any kind so the smoke was difficult to clear. In addition, the bathrooms upstairs are dated and in need of updates.
Overall, this property can get you by but leaves something to be desired. The lack of maintenance and updates brings the quality down. Would recommend for no more than 6 people who plan to eat out vs. cook at the house.

Wonderful Black River Barn wedding stay
Our growing family needed a place to stay for an extended weekend for a very special wedding. Our children and 3 month old granddaughter had an exceptional time and enjoyed the lake, town and home! You payed close attention to details and we certainly appreciated it!

Nice place
We rented both sides of the property for a family get together. It’s been so long with Covid. We used one side for the adults and other for kids with family’s. There are many trip hazards on this property for my elderly father but other than that we loved it.
8.0 / 10.0
Great trip. Spent most of the time on the screen porch when home.
Will rent again from Jaq realtors listings. Loved Washington St. and the area. So close to the public beach and used the bikes everyday. Only thing was, we should have realized the pictures of cottage were anhledcto appear larger than it really was. Appreciated the beach chairs, umbrella, and all the kitchen supplies. We had a great vacation there, planning next trip to come back.

Water problems-but they made it right
I came to South Haven to attend my daughters' wedding on June 11th at South Haven Creations.
We checked into the Cozy Cottage on June 9th. When we checked in I was contacted to let us know that the people who stayed before us had a problem with the washing machine and it overflowed so was asked not to use the washing machine. That was fine, I just needed extra towels because I rented until June 14th. Towels were brought over immediately.
On Sunday June 12th, sewage water started coming up the kitchen sink and the toilets weren't flushing. I contacted Devon. Within the hour the roto-rooter came, he told us not to use the water. He then had to contact a drain specialist. Deven suggested we go out to lunch on Jaqua. At first I was pretty perturbed, since we were not able to brush our teeth, flush the toilets or wash our hands-but we went to town and went to lunch. Had an enjoyable lunch and hit the shops.
Deven kept in close contact with me providing me with updates. She let me know when the drain guy got to Cozy Cottage. And then contacted me again letting us know we would need to move to another house. She provided the new address and access code within minutes.
Even though it was a huge inconvenience, packing and moving, the new house was very nice, clean and had running water and laundry facilities.
We truly appreciated Devon keeping in contact. And that we were able to move during the daylight hours and not after dark and after some of our guests left so they could help us with the move.
Just wanted to give a shout out to Devon for great customer service and righting a wrong. I know there is no way to predict when things like this could happen, but she made it right. I am a frequent vrbo user, and because of her quick thinking and making it right you have kept a customer that often refers people to vrbo. But I will also start referring to South Haven vacation rentals.

Stay at Cozy Cottage
We enjoyed our stay at Cozy Cottage and wished we could stay longer. The cottage is equipped well and had everything we needed…and more. The kitchen was great and well stocked with basics, like salt and pepper, cooking oil, etc. The beds were very comfortable, with nice linens. We loved the location. It is within walking distance of the shoreline and beaches, but in a very nice and quiet neighborhood. We did have an issue in one of the bathrooms that happened late Saturday afternoon. We called the emergency maintenance number and the repair person showed up and fixed it by 10 am Sunday morning. We hope to return next year.

We had a great stay at the beach house.
We had a great stay at the beach house. It’s newly remodeled so everything was fresh and very clean. There are enough bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone and everything was very cozy. The location is great- super close to the beach and just a short drive to downtown dining and shops. The street is quiet and our stay was very peaceful and relaxing. Our favorite part was hanging out in the sunporch. It’s such a great spot to relax and really feel like your on vacation. This house is an awesome choice for a fun family trip! They were always very quick to respond and very helpful.
