Perfect place to stay in South Haven.
The house was clean and was very much like all the descriptions. We used grill every night.
We had 6 people and a baby and had way more than enough room.

We loved the location of this property. There was plenty of space for our group. The interior was very clean and smelled good. The exterior needs a lot of TLC. Some of the interior also. Was disappointed for condition of outside areas with what we paid for the week.

The location, plenty of rooms for our family of ten, and multiple decks to enjoy the harbor view are what made this property a quality find. It was so nice to be within walking distance of the beach, shops, and restaurants! Our only complaint is that the place needs a good maintenance update ... plugged sink in bathroom, leaky shower faucets, carbon monoxide alarm battery was beeping when we got there, broken chair on patio, etc. Overall, very functional and a lovely place. Just needs a little more attention to details by the host.

The owner was very responsive and took care of a few minor issues immediately. Great house in a great location! We will stay again!

The house was a good size for our group, the bedrooms, living areas, and loft were spacious. The backyard was great for hanging out and grilling and playing yard games.
My only qualms were that when we arrived with 16 of us, there were a total of 2 almost-gone rolls of toilet paper in the house. It wasn't a huge deal, we had someone run out to the store right away, but weren't notified that that was going to be something we needed to bring ourselves. It created an interesting problem for a few minutes while someone ran out to get it.
The other thing was that the garbage disposal in the kitchen sink was infested with fruit flies that were swarming the first floor all weekend. It was like that when we arrived.
All in all, the house was good, just be aware of the two things I mentioned above and make sure to bring toilet paper.

Location great.
House WOULD be great if it was clean.
We did appreciate you bringing your cleaning team back however it was the next day and a inconvenience for everyone.
Tons of spiders and it had a awful musty smell when you walked in.
So like I said great location the house just needs to be deeply cleaned from top to bottom.

The location is perfect and the main floor open space was ideal for gathering, talking, eating together. It is light and airy and close to everything in town and the beach. The view from the 3rd floor balcony is gorgeous. It could use an upgrade in some of the kitchen ware(baking sheets, frying pans) but suited our group's needs very well.
5.0
Overall we had an excellent stay here! The location is ideal for walking to the beach, splash pad or shops downtown. The space was large, open and our large party never felt cramped. We did have one issue with the oven which led to us not being able to use it for 2 days- the owner got back to us after multiple attempts to contact her. It turned out to be that the oven timer when turned on would turn off the oven…
She did remedy another situation we had right away so it could have just been a busy day for her to return our calls. (quicker to return texts vs calls.)
The house was well stocked with everything we needed for our week long stay which we appreciated! Including paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags etc. We request extra towels which were brought to us right away and greatly appreciated. We also liked that the recycling and trash bins were easily accessible. The kids loved the front game/ toy room and playing on the top floor together. The decks on all sides of the house were beautiful.
Some recommendations for the owner:
overall need for some minor updates/fixes - the dishwasher rack has no front wheels on the bottom rack and almost slides all the way out when you pull it. The fridge shelves and drawers are difficult to work or missing, 2/4 slots on toaster oven were non functional.
need new beach chairs- the ones provided were broken/bent
there should be a note not to use the oven timer as apparently it can cause the oven not to work.
The jets in the jacuzzi tub were non functional.
The online listing and the owners book at the home had conflicting info such as wether the propane would be supplied by owner or guest.
Aside from these minor inconveniences, we had an amazing time overall and would absolutely stay again. Thank you!

Convenient Location and Spacious
We choose this property because of the large kitchen/living room gathering space. It was even better than the pictures. Tons of sleeping areas and very convenient walk to downtown/harbor/waterfront. A few things in the house could use some TLC, but it did not interfere with our stay. The view is even better in person.

Girls Trip
My friends and I couldn’t be more pleased with Panella’s Place. We thoroughly enjoyed South Haven and the surrounding areas. Not knowing the area, we crossed our fingers and hoped for the best! Well, we certainly made the right choice when we rented this home. The location is perfect, and the home does not disappoint. We didn’t want to leave, and we can’t wait to return! Such a refreshing trip and overall experience!

We had such a great time staying at this beautiful home! This was our second time staying at this house. The kitchen was a perfect spot for gathering, and the bedrooms were super cozy. The homeowner was excellent at communicating with us; answered our questions very timely. We look forward to coming back again for sure!

Great Location and Spacious Living Area
Our large extended family stayed at Panellas Place for a week and we had a great time! The home is located conveniently on the canal, close to town and a short walk to South Beach. It is spacious and clean. Toilet paper, cleaning items and paper towels were available upon arrival. It is decorated very cute as well. We had a few plumbing issues which were resolved very quickly after alerting the owner. The cable did not work for most of the duration of our stay but Direct TV came out and had it fixed by the end of our week for the next renters at least. The owner did what she could to have it restored and offered me a credit for the trouble. Overall a pleasant stay and a very nice rental home

The Perfect Large Family Beach Getaway
We were blown away by the beautiful views and home! While it’s just a quick walk away from the water, you don’t even have to leave the home to enjoy the water views. We spent much time on the third floor balcony taking in the breathtaking views while watching the boats come in and out of the harbor. The house accommodated our group of 13 very well. We loved having a large open kitchen and living area where we could all congregate. Additionally, we loved the walk out porch right off this living space as we ate most lunch and dinners outside. We appreciated the fenced in backyard with children as we didn’t have to worry about them wandering while playing in the backyard. The home is an easy walk to everything in town from the restaurants to the playground to the beach. There were also many extra things like toys, games, and beach things provided. We loved this place as it felt like a home away from home and would delight at the thought of returning!!!

Great location and great property
Our week spent with extended family at this beautiful house was just wonderful. We walked to the beach and downtown multiple times a day - it was easy even for our preschool age kids! The house’s multiple outdoor spaces and huge indoor spaces let groups gather separately or together. Our family loved cooking together in the kitchen and grilling on the deck, and the kids loved sleeping up in the “attic” room. I highly recommend this house for any large group - you cannot beat the location!!

Perfect location. Short walk to shops, restaurants and the beach. Didn't drive the whole time were t
We loved Panellas place! Plenty of room for the whole family. The house was super clean. The views were fantastic. It was a relaxing, hassle-free, enjoyable stay. I would definitely recommend that anyone visiting South Haven stay at the Panellas Place. We will not have to shop around for places to stay again. This will be our go-to place.

Perfect getaway house
This house was amazing!! We went for a girls getaway and had a great time. The house has a lot of character and is very close to town. We went up to the 3rd balcony to watch the sunset and it definitely didn’t disappoint. I will definitely consider coming back with my family to stay again. Thanks Jill.

Great House and Location
We stayed here the week of July 4, 2017, and had an amazing time. The location was perfect for July 4 - super easy walk to the parade and perfect view of the fireworks (top deck). The town was an easy walk for my parents, as well (senior citizens). The beach is about a 10-15 minute walk, so we drove my parents, but brought the car back to the house and walked down ourselves. We were able to fit two cars in the driveway, which was critical during the holiday week, as street parking is not easy. Also, the house is fantastic. We loved the open lay-out of the first floor, which allowed all of us to gather in one place without feeling crowded. Also, we had family over for dinners, and they were able to fit with no problem at all. We also loved the back deck, where we spent a lot of our time (grilling, reading, eating, hanging by the fire-pit, etc). The top floor is amazing, which was a great spot for watching movies, playing card games (on the top deck), and viewing sunsets. The house was clean and updated. Overall, I love this house, and we were very happy with our stay.

Beautiful location but needs some updating
The home was in a great location. Easy walk to the beach and town. We barely got in our car. The first floor is a great room for gathering and eating. When we arrived the home was less than pristine. The floor and ceiling fans were less than clean. The furniture was adequate but "tired". The carpeting on the second floor had many stains, three of the four bedrooms. I believe the guest's information book needs to be updated. We found discrepancies from the website and what we were told by the owner. We were also a little disappointed when we arrived and had to go out and buy toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, and kleenex as well as propane for the bar-b-q pit the very first evening we arrived. I think this house could be spectacular but it needs some attention.

Amazingly relaxing weekend. Perfect location!
The house is gorgeous and the location is perfect. All the porches and balconies allowed everyone ample time for rest and relaxation. There were a few hiccups with some of the appliances, but did not detract from a fantastic weekend. We loved our stay and everything was easily walkable from the house!
Wonderful weekend!

Very nice place with plenty of room for our large group.
The weather was cold rainy and windy. We played games and did jigsaw puzzles. There was plenty of space in the open family room for all. It is a great place. I would rent it again. Everything ran very smoothly from check in to check out.

We have rented places in South Haven many times, but always north of the river. This is a beautiful house and the thing we liked most is how close it is to downtown. No piling in the car to head out for breakfast, dinner or shopping -- it's just a 3 minute walk! The downstairs is very spacious and comfortable, and the river/lake view from the 3rd floor balcony seals the deal. We hope to rent again later this year.

Our family of fifteen stayed here and the house was great. Nice big downstairs, close to downtown, and great view from the third floor.
