Check in snafu was quickly handled and we were happy to find a clean and comfy place to stay with our 16 month old, my daughter and son in law. It was close to town and very close to beaches that we could access by walking or driving and parking in pay lots. The downstairs bedroom/bathroom was below grade but clean and ready to use. We also enjoyed the backyard patio. Kitchen had all we needed to take care of our little guy and make a few meals. Thanks for the great family time in this cute home!

We love to vacation in South Haven and “unplug”for the week. (However, the house has great wifi if you need it.) The house was in the perfect location and included all of the necessary amenities. We cook most of our meals and were happy to find a well supplied kitchen, a quality charcoal grill, and nice working appliances. The house is also much larger than it appears. The owners were responsive and kind. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We really enjoyed our stay!

Great location! Close to the beach but a little further from downtown for these middle-aged woman to walk. Property was very clean and well maintained.

Family friendly, spacious home
The IDEAL getaway for large families and groups of friends. Plenty of space to sleep guests, family friendly decor and furniture, and a lovely, walkable, fun neighborhood to take walks, go to the beach, visit local shops, etc. Gary was exceptionally responsive and answered all my questions promptly via text. Only regret not being able to stay longer!

Fantastic location!
My family and I were looking for a new rental house for our 2nd family trip to South Haven and we found a GREAT one! This house has everything and is a great size! The location is so incredibly convenient!
5.0
We enjoyed our stay very much! It is a nice location and the house was very clean. Having beaches so close and the downtown area close, was a big plus.
The main downside is probably the basement. Although it was very clean, it was very cold, and no one really enjoyed sleeping there. Comments were that the mattress in the basement was uncomfortable. We thought maybe a space heater in the basement would be good, but that may be too risky if people are not careful.
In the front bedrooms, the pillows were not the most comfortable, but we think from now on, no matter where we rent, we will bring our own pillows. We also thought there might need to be an update with some of the kitchen pans, especially the non-stick ones. Also, we think some non-stick spatulas would be good so the pans do not get scratched up. Actually. we ate quite a few meals out, so it wasn't a big deal .
Even though the cottage and furnishings are a bit dated (of course we understand that one does not want to have too nice of funishings in a rental, as some renters can be disrepectful in how they treat the place), we had a very enjoyable time. It was nice to get to know South Haven more.
We wish that we would have seen more of the lake from the cottage, but as we mentioned before, we had a lovely time.
Thank you and enjoy the rest of your summer!

Great Location
I stayed here with a group of 5 other women from my church for a fun weekend away. The location is great and is within easy walking distance of the beach and shopping. We each had our own bed (important to us) and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped. The large dining room table easily accommodated us for meals and for crafts. There are ceiling fans in each room. The hosts provided detailed information and excellent communication. The only thing I would change would be to add more/enhance the lighting, so the cottage would be brighter after dark.

Was in a Great Location of South Haven. Close to all the beaches and downtown. Was pleasantly surprised how spacious it was from the front porch to the living room kitchen, and the bedrooms. Looking forward to renting again.

Perfect location!
Loved staying here, the location is perfect. Easy walk to 3 different beaches, coffee shop and downtown.
The cottage was bigger than expected and the beds are comfy. Our only complaint would be the pillows, most are hard as rocks. Bring your own!

Comfortable home steps from beaches, well stocked kitchen
We were picking up our son from college and decided to spend Thanksgiving weekend in South Haven with him before bringing him home until next semester. Since we are not supposed to be intermingling households due to the pandemic, we wanted him to have a separate space. This house was perfect -- on one floor there were three bedrooms and a bathroom, a living room with tV, with a large dining table where we could sit and eat with a 6-8 foot distance between him and us; and he had a large bedroom/living space with a tv and his own bathroom on a different floor.
This kitchen was BY FAR the best equipped for cooking of any vacation rental we've stayed in. Lots of mixing bowls and serving plates and bowls, lots of cooking utensils, pots, pans, a blender, mini-food processor, hand held mixer, all kinds of cooking utensils......We were able to whip up a Thanksgiving feast with ease!
Just a lovely spot in a cute town. The sunsets were wonderful!

Everything was good here and comfortable. Only issue we had was that the lighting was too dim for us in every room and especially kitchen, If you had to read something.

Perfect location and comfy
This little cottage is the perfect spot to walk to the lake or downtown. It did have a bit of a musty smell; but nothing we didn’t get used to. The beds were comfy, kitchen well stocked, and it was clean.

Terrific Find!
A real gem, this cottage was perfect for our South Haven stay! Super clean, comfortable, and with a well-stocked kitchen; there was more than enough room for four adults. The enclosed front porch quickly became a favorite spot to read and relax. Close to the beaches and a short walk to the downtown area with shopping and restaurants, this cottage was a fantastic find! We hope to stay here again.

Wonderful vacation spot and vacation home.
Very clean and very well stocked if you do your own cooking. The beds were very comfortable. The large table was great for meals, playing games and doing puzzles. Loved the location and would definitely rent again if vacationing in South Haven again! Beautiful area, beautiful beach, and great place to vacation! Dining out go to Clementines and Maria’s Italian Restaurant won’t disappoint!

Lovely
We so enjoyed our stay! The house was centrally located and close to several beaches and within walking distance of downtown. We really enjoyed sitting outside in the rocking chairs each night and the beds were very comfortable. House was clean and had everything we needed. Would love to come back!

Perfect South Haven Location
I spent over a week at this house with some family members. There were six of us in all and there was more than enough space for everyone to sleep and hang out. My favorite location was the nice screened in porch off the front of the home. The house is located in a quiet area in South Haven. It was walkable to downtown for eating and shopping. The highlight for us was that it was less than a block to the public beach. We were able to pack up for the day and head down, but it was close enough to the house that you could walk back as often as you wanted. The house was also located in a nice area to take walks as well. A couple blocks away was a small general store with ice cream and a place to rent water sports equipment. We would definitely stay again!

A Cozy Heavenly Haven
We had the perfect family reunion at Gary and Debbie's comfortable and spacious cottage. Temperatures were in the 20s, but we were toasty warm, with a cozy fireplace and central heating throughout. Any and every question, or concern, was immediately responded to, and yet, we had complete privacy. We would definitely return, and tell our friends. But as their description says; bring your own towels.

What a delightful house and location! It was perfect for our adult family of five. Easy walk into town, a block from the beach, each adult child had their own bedroom. Check in and out was a breeze! Thank you for a great experience!
