Girls trip! Beaches and downtown minutes away. Beautiful home inside and out. Plenty of room for fives girls and all our stuff. The best stocked house I’ve ever stayed in. Lori was great to work with, gave us suggestions, and responded right away to any questions I had. I would stay here again.

My family had a wonderful stay at Idlewood. It was the cleanest rental I’ve ever stayed in! Hats off to their cleaning crew! Everything was as described and more. The kitchen had everything we needed including a full spice rack, olive oil, and balsamic. The host was amazing at helping me prepare for the trip. Property is in a nice, quiet neighborhood which also means more driving to places which we knew ahead of time based on the listing’s descriptions. (Without small kids you could walk to more stuff) We saw wild turkeys every morning! The outdoor area is very small but with all the outdoor offerings in South Haven we were ok with that. We loved the new pool - it’s so close to the house. Don’t plan on using the pool restrooms though because in the entire week we were there, there was no toilet paper, soap, or paper towels. But since you’re so close to the house it’s not a big deal. This is a great house if you’re looking for a nice, large family friendly rental! Kids of all ages will be happy and accommodated! Thanks for a great stay!

Lori has thought of absolutely everything, the house is absolutely gorgeous and it couldn't have been a better stay. My parents are tough to please, and were a bit apprehensive about staying in a VRBO however, they insisted that I review this listing and explain how amazing of an experience they had. Thanks again for everything!

My family and I had a great time here. There was plenty of space for us all. The newly finished basement was a pleasant surprise and the 5 kids loved playing down there. It was a convenient location to downtown and multiple beaches. Everything was thought of in this house...beach toys, spices, shampoo, conditioner, etc.
