The property is well maintained and in a nice quiet neighborhood. It has a wooden deck that was a nice place for coffee in the morning. It also has a fire pit in back that was nice in the evening. The owner provided supplies for s'mores which was a hit. South Haven is a beach community and easy to get around. Parking could be tight at the larger beaches and in the downtown area at night.

We’ve been making an annual trip to south west MI between Xmas and NY for a quick family getaway. This year we stayed at flip flop cottage for the first time and we loved it! Plenty of space with a great layout. Host was quick to respond when I had a question. We would definitely stay there again. The only thing missing was snow.

The house was conveniently located, nicely furnished, and accurately represented on the website. There was plenty of room in the house with nice size rooms, tall ceilings, and comfortable furniture.

5 Star property! Beautiful home in quiet neighberhood, well stocked, really appreciated the beach toys in garage. Nice back yard for the kids to play and a fire pit area for adults to relax in the evening. The beach reached in 7 minutes is so small and surrounded by private beaches, but short drive to North/South beaches and marina. Fun time for all the family.
5.0
Nice, large ,clean place. I think we all enjoyed it. As others commented previously, it is not as close to the beach and town as listed. Oak beach was the closest and was quite tiny. It was next to private beaches that we were not to access. Previous tenants removed the body wash container from one bathroom so we had to root around for soap. Would have brought my own if we had known. Plenty
of towel, kitchen ware, and games for the kids. Many many choices of what to take to the beach and a large wagon to help cart it there

Great weekend in a beautiful home! Had everything that we needed. Plenty of space for 12 adults. Close walk into town and the beach. Great communication with the host before and during our stay!

3 families with kids (ages 7, 6, 5 and 3)stayed in this wonderful beach house.
House was as described- short distance to the beach and a longer walk to downtown. Perfect for visits to the beach.
We also did the Maritime Museum Pirate Ship cruise which the kids just loved. Make your reservations in advance though.
Kalamazoo also has an Airzoo museum which is worth the trip. So many great things for the kids and adults. Highly recommended.
We had a great week in South Haven and found this house to be above and beyond in accommodation and extras.
We booked our 2023 trip before we left.
Thank you for sharing your home with us.

My family had a wonderful stay in this home. The home and grounds were in perfect condition and clean. We really enjoyed eating meals on the outdoor dining table as well as roasting s'mores in the fire pit at night. The neighborhood is peaceful and it's an easy walk to beach access. This is an excellent home for families.

We enjoyed our visit to South Haven and staying in this beautiful home. It's extremely well-equipped, clean and comfortable. We loved relaxing on the back patio with picnic table, and using the back yard fire pit to make a bonfire and "s'mores" they provided. Their corn hole game was a hit for a friendly family competition. We rented golf carts to get to Oak Beach and North Beach which were close by. Overall, it was an excellent family getaway. Thank you!

Wonderful Bachelorette Weekend in SoHa!
My bridal party hosted my bachelorette weekend at Flip Flop Cottage this past weekend, and the property was absolutely fantastic! There were 11 guests total including myself, and there was definitely enough space for everyone to spread out and not be on top of one another. There are 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms upstairs (including the master bath), one powder room on the main level, and one bedroom with a full bathroom in the basement. The house was well-stocked with beach towels, kitchen appliances (blender, keurig, regular coffee maker), eating and cooking utensils, etc. We loved the firepit in the backyard and the close proximity to the beach (about an 8 minute walk). The house is immacuately kept and well-furnished/decorated. The host, Rael, was also very communicative both before and during our stay. Highly recommend this property to any large group looking for a place to stay in the area!

Relaxing Pet-friendly House close to the beach
We were so pleased with Flip Flop Cottage! It is perfect for a family getaway. We were looking for a house close to Lake Michigan, and in a quiet neighborhood. This house has a great outdoor space with a fire pit to gather around (s'more supplies included!), outdoor dining, propane grill included. The yard is beautifully landscaped, and felt private with the hibscus bushes and trees providing a nice green wall. With three full baths, (and a half bath on main floor) this house made it easy for extended families to gather and have their own space. Four bedrooms are upstairs including the master, and the fifth bedroom is in the basement. So for those that have issue with steps, keep this in mind. We enjoyed playing corn hole in the side yard, and used the kayaks (there are life preservers too which made this mom happy!) since the lake was pretty calm during our stay. The kitchen has all the essentials and we stayed in for most of our meals. South Haven is a beautiful town and very walkable. We enjoyed lots of long walks with our sheltie, even to the red light house on the pier! Dogs are not allowed at the Oak Street beach . For those that want to bring dogs you will have to drive to another beach. Our dog doesn't like the beach so that was okay with him since he needed time to rest after long walks! There was a bin that had some dogs toys and a dish and water bowl and even a canister of dog treats! There also is a cable to tether a dog so that we could dine outside and not worry that he would wonder off while we enjoyed our welcome bottle of wine provided by our host. We were happy to see that there was a second refrigerator in the garage, that was perfect to keep extra drinks. The keurig coffee machine was perfect and the hosts had all the supplies there for a selection of morning coffee (or hot chocolate!) Everyone in our party commented what a great find this house is, and one member in our party said this is the best rental he's been to so far! The host was very accessible and was prompt when we had questions. After being cooped up in our own houses for a year and half, this was a perfect place to get away, but stay in. Thanks Rael for a great getaway. We would definitely stay again!

Very happy with our stay
We were very pleased with the Flip Flop Cottage. The house was very clean and the layout worked perfectly for two families (9 total) staying there together. Nice north beach location, easy walk to the beach. We really appreciated the treats left by the host- such a nice touch!

Great place, comfy and clean.
This home is perfect for a family getaway, and it was even better that we got to bring our two little dogs. The owner is super responsive, and the house is well-equipped and super clean. Would definitely come back to stay again.

The vacation rental has exceeded by far all our expectations. Location: walking distance to a beautiful beach and downtown. You can see the Yacht Club and water from the dining room windows and backyard.Amenities: as soon as you enter the foyer, you know you are in for a great vacation. The furniture is very high end (I am almost sure it’s Pottery Barn ) yet very welcoming, inviting, relaxing, and comfortable . Upon arrival, we found very charming and welcoming treats including a nice bottle of wine and a card as a welcome present, a s’mores station, and treats for our puppy...!!!Plenty of bedding and towels. All showers had shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers. The beds were extremely comfortable. On cleanliness, I have to give it a 200%. It honestly felt like being in a home that has never been lived in. It was spotless...!!! Kitchen: High quality stainless steal pans and pots, a great Keurig coffee/cappuccino maker with plenty of Starbucks coffee K-Cups for us to enjoy. The owners: went above and beyond to make our stay very enjoyable. They responded within seconds to answer any questions. The attention to every detail (including a decorated Christmas tree, bottles of Tylenol and Advil, and even a bag of disposable face masks, etc.) blew us away...!!!Overall: an amazing experience during our winter getaway. We can’t wait to book it in summer time. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us

Perfect place for us!
Our family of 4, plus our dog, stayed in this huge, beautiful home just a short walk to Lake Michigan. (12 or more could sleep comfortably here!) We arranged check-in time with our super-responsive host. There was every amenity you could possibly need here, plus a few special surprises! Close to everything, wonderful dog-walking neighborhood, great host, would love to stay here again, thank you, Rael!
