The house was set up well for multiple people. We had plenty of room for everyone and the kids had fun. We enjoyed sitting on the deck out back and watching the the squirrels and deer. It was a very peaceful area.

House was in a lovely neighborhood with walkable beaches. It had a lovely wooded backyard with a firepit that unfortunately wasn't able to be used because it was full of big logs and debri all around it. House definitely needs some updating. Basement was very spacious with bed and bathroom. Shower in basement barely worked. Window sills all full of dirt,cobwebs..Only 1 kitchen towel. Discussed all with host who was apologetic. He said he would take care of issues and gave us a partial refund.

Enjoyed our stay. Setup in the upstairs main room could have been done differently so that you could have had more comfortable seating to visit and hang out.We drove most days to the beach because of having little ones along. Beach, water, and weather were perfect!

The place was nice but my sister and friend did have a few issues. We had brought food to cook the first night on the BBQ and that didn't work and the oven also didn't work. I called the owner and the management company and didn't receive a reply until 3pm the next day. The BBQ tank was replaced immediately and he did advise that the mgt. company didn't advise him that the oven was broke so someone came and fixed that the next day. The place was clean but the bathroom between the two bedrooms the water drains very slow. We only needed the air the last two nights but even with the bedroom doors open it didn't circulate very well.

We had an amazing stay in South Haven! The house is located in a peaceful neighborhood close to the beaches and the downtown area. The house was very clean. We had no issues checking in or out.
We loved everything about this house. The space, the games and the time spent with family

This house has a nice open layout, and a large dining table upstairs to feed crowds and play board games :)
The neighborhood is quiet, and a short walk to both the marina in one direction and Oak Beach in the other.
The only drawback we found was that the house could use some home improvements. The kitchen needs updating and it would be great if the beds were bigger - they felt more like doubles instead of queens (?). Otherwise, it's a nice piece of property.

We had a great time at Summerwood Cottage. We’ve rented from Mark twice previously, so we knew what to expect. He is attentive to your needs and available if you need him. Everything you might need for a getaway with the grandkids is there. We’ll be there again next summer!

We did much of our own cooking and found there were several things we would of liked to had in the kitchen.
We also found the A/C difficult to regulate. We are probably spoiled with central air

Great holiday week getaway
Very comfortable and clean place to stay. Had a great time. Only negative is the fire pit is near the woods in the back so more mosquitoes will be around the fire.

Really enjoyed staying here...location is quiet in a wooded area (saw deer many times while cooking dinner on the deck). Close enough to still walk to the beach, etc.

Family spring wedding weekend
We truly enjoyed our stay in South Haven. The home was clean, comfortable and spacious for 5 adults. And our adult children enjoyed the basement foosball table and comfy area to catch up with their cousins. Although our spring weekend was a bit cool we did grill out and sat out on the deck. We would definitely recommend this rental.

Family holiday getaway
Great place for family to meet from 3 states. 3 full baths provided each family their privacy. Basement recreation room was a great space for all of us to hang out and play games.

Pleasant Visit
Family met in South Haven for a quick Christmas. The house was clean. The beds were super comfortable and having 3 bathrooms is a bonus. The kitchen was really well stocked. The bonus and most convenient room to congregate in, was downstairs. We played games and puzzled. Ms. Pacman is addicting!
We weren't really able to enjoy the patio and outdoors, although it was very inviting. We really enjoyed walking the neighborhood and interesting architecture of houses.
Overall, a great stay.

Family Holiday Gathering
This house was perfect for our family gathering. Great space for everyone to be able to stretch out, be comfy and relax. We played some PacMan, Galaga and Foosball, watched movies and enoyed the fireplace. It was truly a wonderful time spent together under on roof. We also did some shopping downtown SHaven and even took in a movie a Michigan Theater.

This house will not disappoint!
Very spacious house. Enjoyed the secluded deck and fire pit. Short drive to Meijers. Basement was a great gathering place for cards and games. Big kitchen for more than one person to prepare meals.

Great location, lots of amenities
Summerwood Cottage provided plenty of room for our family of seven. It was clean, well stocked, and the host was very prompt with responses and communication. It's about a 10 minute walk to the Oak St. beach, has a beautiful wooded area in back, and was well stocked with paper products/soap/ and many extras. We stayed during a warm spell in August and, even though it is air-conditioned, we needed fans in each of the bedrooms to stay cool.

Low-Key South Haven Getaway
Mark was was a great host and was easy to communicate with. The house was well stocked with staples, toiletries, linens, and recreational items (bikes, games, beach stuff, etc). Very clean. It's ideal for two families with kids. The neighborhood was quiet and. very close to beaches, but not so close as to be a nuisance. The back yard is a bit small, but feels very private and the deck was well shaded much of the day.
Lawn services came while we were there and had some windows open, so we got some exhaust smells, but quickly closed the kitchen window and it wasn't a big deal. Luckily they arrived just after naps.
The house itself is well maintained and the a/c units work well.
We had a great time and would stay again. If you've got young kids, make sure to check out the Kids Curiosity Museum in St. Joseph (30 min south) for a great rainy day activity!

Close and Just Far Enough
Easy walk to the beach (and sunsets). Short drive or bike ride to town. Enjoyed the quiet wooded property in a friendly neighborhood.

Highly Recommend
Great host. Property was as described or possibly better. Great area for running and walking with close proximity to the beaches, downtown, and trails. The cottage was clean, easy checkin, clear communication, and a great location. Lots of amenities for kids and adults. Would definitely recommend.

Great Family Getaway Location
Easy access to the beach and downtown. Corner lot with privacy and nice outside spaces for socializing with family or friends. We brought my father who gets around with a walker. The bedroom & bathroom were sufficiently accessible to him that he was able to be independent while staying here. My husband and I took advantage of the Kal-haven trail for riding bikes, and enjoyed walking around South Haven. Owner was easy to work with and provided important information for making the most of our stay.

May 22-24 Stay
We loved staying in this comfy home! This house was perfect for our graduation celebration with our two adult children and their partners! The house was very comfortable and spacious. The downstairs area for entertaining was warm and inviting and the dining room area was perfect for our meals. We loved how the home was decorated and it was very clean upon entry.
The only issue we had was that we wanted to cook on the grill, but it was not clean. I let the owner know and he responded quickly to my concern. It does state in the directions that visitors are to clean the grill when they are finished using it, but not everyone follows those rules. I hope people will honor that request as we were disappointed that we could not grill out because we did not feel we should have to take the time to clean the grill. Other than that, we very much enjoyed our stay and would recoommend this home! If we have the chance we would definitely stay there again! Thank you Mark for sharing your home with us and for responding promptly to any concerns we had! That is very much appreciated!
