I don't like not getting more information until only a month prior to check in, not even the address. My brother wanted to book a golf tee time and wanted to find a course close to house. The house is nice but I've sent an email to owner about issues he needs to address. Also cleaning people need to do a better job. I moved toaster out and counter under was full of crumbs. No kleenes left in upstairs bathrooms and one trash can up there had stuff in it. Instructions said trash would go out to street on Sunday but it didn't, my brother put it out on Monday morning. No pillow cases in parlor with Murphy bed. As alway when we are together for siblings weekend had a good time anyway!

The property was perfect for us, 2 grandparents, 5 parents, and 6 grand children. We were able to sleep comfortably in the 5 bedrooms. The kitchen was large and the dining room was sufficient for everyone. A nice touch was the porch on both floors and plenty of tables and chairs to set up outside in the backyard. We accessed the beach both by walking and riding a car. There is a nice park with a large wooden play area just down the street and we went there every day.

Let me sum it up this way: We have already booked next year’s stay!

The property was spotless with more amenities than we have found anywhere else that we have stayed. Beautiful location near the beach and a comfortable stroll to downtown. We often struggle to find a place that will allow us to bring our dogs, but for a reasonable "pet fee" we were able to enjoy the week at a much lower cost than boarding her runs, plus the backyard is fenced so our dog could enjoy the outdoors (as could our grandchildren) without constant worry on our part. We have already reserved a week for next summer and would highly recommend this property. It is also the most reasonably priced location by far that we have found in the area.

Being at the height of the summer season on Lake Michigan, I was thrilled to get a home that was large enough for my husband, me, and our four grown children to spend a weekend together. We were coming from several locations and I only had a couple of weeks to try to put our weekend together. It’s a lovely, clean home. That being said, there are several issues that would prevent me from renting it again. Of the three toilets in the home, only two worked. There were only two showers, and one standing bathtub. The ability to cool all of the four bedrooms upstairs was weak, at best. Of the two ceiling fans upstairs, only two worked. Two of the upstairs bedrooms did have window a/c units, but the other two rooms were terribly hot. I had to empty the kitchen garbage when we arrived. Someone arrived at 4:05 (4:00 check-in) Friday to blow the leaves around outside. We had to jockey our cars around to let him out. There were dirty dishes in the cupboard. It is a “no pet home.” Naively, I thought that meant it was a no pet home. It meant that renters’ pets are not allowed. There are many signs of pets throughout the home - several kennels, doggie door leading outside, feeding supplies and fur/hair. We had to run out for more allergy supplies for our group as a result of animal dander throughout the house. I should have asked. I was thankful I could find a home large enough for the six of us. The home was clean, the location was great, the homeowner was very easy to reach and quick to respond to my many questions. However, for the daily rental fee, I expected more.

Room to wander around, close to beach and town, well furnished with a relaxed feel.

We could not have asked for a better place to spend our time in South Haven. The house is gorgeous with everything one could ask for, even a bunch of bikes in all sizes. Just a beautiful stroll to the beach & park or watch the sunset from the upper deck. It is a nice walk to everything in town, just far enough that you won’t feel bad about enjoying the great food at Maria’s Taste of Italy. It is perfect for a large family, a couple of families, or several friends to get away to. We can’t wait to return next year.

We could not have asked for a better hideaway for our Lake Michigan stay. Lovely home with all of the amenities one could hope for. The location is perfect with a short stroll to the beautiful beach, easy walk to downtown shops & restaurants, and lovely view of the sunsets over the lake from the upper deck.
