The house is big with lots of room. There were 4 couples and 5 kids in our group. We each had our own space to spread out. It was very nice to have 3 bathrooms. We had room to play family games, one night we grilled, and we truly appreciated being able to bring our fur baby. We were able to walk to South Beach and shopping. The house was clean and the owner was easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend for a large group.

The house was extremely clean and certainly met our group size. The kitchen appliances were very nice. The primary bedroom and bath were excellent. The attached bathroom to that bedroom was great! Very spacious. Washer and dryer were handy. Front porch wasn’t fancy, but we enjoyed sitting there and visiting. Right across the street from the best breakfast spot in South Haven (Six Chicks). Sits on a busy street, so the street noise was very noticeable in the front rooms. Parking was spacious for the three cars in our group. Could easily have handled a couple more. The beach chairs were a great bonus. Didn’t use the yard and fire pit as the bushes and plants around the house are a bit over grown. About two minute drive to the South Beach and a 3-minute walk to Downtown South Haven. 5-7 minute drive to Sherman’s Ice Cream and Three Blondes Brewing. There was a mixup on check in date, so we didn’t get the door code before we arrived. Had to make several calls before getting a response about how to get in. We finally got contacted by phone 20-30 minutes after we arrived. The owner was very apologetic, but we’ve always been contacted by a VRBO owner at least a day or two in advance. Would definitely rent this property again, though! Lovely home!

This is an old property with lots of room. Nicely updated bathrooms. Well-equipped kitchen. Lots of towels! Washer and dryer. Some Mattresses a bit soft for us. Walk to downtown. Short drive to great beaches. Don’t be put off by lack of landscaping. We would come back for sure. Great communication with host.

We drove into the driveway from a major busy road and thought no curb appeal: landscape overgrown and in need of paint, but as we walked inside we found the house clean, well stocked with towels, kitchen plates, silverware, coffee pots (drip and Keurig) and perfect bed and gathering spaces. All 15 of us had beds. Some beds could use new mattresses. A full bath downstairs would be better, but with two full baths upstairs it was accommodating, and washer and dryer in downstairs bathroom was so nice to wash towels and such. Front Porch shaded in the morning to sip coffee and back porch shaded at night to sip drinks. Easy walking distance to downtown shops and beach. In general, we had a fantastic time in South Haven and Saugetuck. We enjoyed an afternoon on a rented pontoon boat in South Haven and a fun time on a sand dune ride in Saugetuck. The hosts are great. They immediately answer any questions and took care of any problems. We arrived to find no paper products, emailed host, who immediately had paper products delivered. The hosts were easy to communicate with, and at the last minute agreed to our grand dog coming along on our vacation. I would recommend this house for other family gatherings.
