Wonderful property. Perfect for our girls trip. Close to Saugatuck and then back for dinner and drinks in South Haven. Really enjoyed the rooftop deck for sitting and relaxing and watching boats come and go through the harbor. Definitely would stay here again. Thank you
. Thanks so much

This is our third time, 2nd year for blueberry fest staying at the property. We always have a great time here. Location is perfect, house is spacious and beds are comfy. So many rooms and seats to share. Quiet and calm setting. You cannot go wrong staying at this property. Owners are great to deal with. Will definitely be back next year.

For a group of 6 of us we thoroughly enjoyed this home; it was our 3rd time and it did not disappoint. The large screen room was a highlight. We were easily able to utilize kitchen and grill for several meals at home. Thank you for new memories. We will return!!

The home was even nicer than in the pictures. It was more spacious than we thought, so many areas to sit and enjoy time with our family. There were so many items supplied, ample towels, linens, kitchen tools, etc. We are certain to choose this property again in the future! Thank you SO MUCH!!

This was our first time staying at South Beach Charmer and we were there for 8 nights. We loved every minute of our stay. The location can’t be beat! We walked EVERYWHERE! Super close to downtown, the Farmer’s Market and South Beach access. The screened porch can’t be beat! It was our favorite place in the home. The amount of space in this home is amazing. The family room couch is so comfortable, and having 3 living spaces was wonderful! We traveled with our children and 10 month old grandson and the home was perfect. The upstairs bedrooms and bathroom are spacious and new while the main floor bedroom seems original to the home. It is charming and we love the historical feel of the home. The upstairs balcony was great for sitting outside to read a book in the sun and the screened porch was well used for dinners and game nights. The kitchen had everything we needed and we loved having a washer and dryer. Julie was great with communication and was super helpful! We made some pretty special memories at this home and can’t wait to return next summer! Thank you for having us!

We took our family vacation Labor Day weekend with our two adult daughters. The house was awesome in every phase. The location was great as we were within a few blocks of downtown, the beach and other places. The screened in porch was great. We cannot wait to return!

Hello,
We enjoyed our stay on Huron street. The living space, porch and 3 restrooms were nice. Great location. Roof space has a nice view.
Some suggestions; the bunk bed is very dated. The person who slept in it kept bumping their arm and head when turned over. The kitchen needs updating lighting. Even with the stove light on the refrigerator...still was vary dark. All communication was good. I hope the owner found the missing set of keys. Thank you

Second time staying, first time for full week.
Loved the screened in porch and upper exterior deck areas for morning coffee and evening champagne…
So spacious with a lot of seating for hosting friends and family.
Location was perfect for walking uptown and evening walks…
Garage had fun things for activities like bags game and bicycles…
Wish we could stay longer.
Will definitely be back next year.

Outstanding location, minutes walk from restaurants, bars, beach, river, park. Pictures do not give justice to how much space you have on this property. Lots of toys, games, and activities. Great place for a family vacation. Will visit again!

This is our 3rd time staying at this wonderful home. The location can't be beat, very close to town and not too far from the beach. The screened in front porch is where we spent most of our time, just lovely. We had a small issue and the hosts were available and immediately responded.

The house is in a good location. House is located on a dead end road .Walking distance to downtown and South Beach 10 min.
Very large roomy house. Has one bedroom downstairs and 2 upstairs. Bedroom downstairs had lumpy mattress.
Had to contact the owner because front door deadbolt did not lock .She told us the how to make it work .
House could use a good cleaning as there were cobwebs and sand on tables .
They had bikes in garage and outdoor games which we used .
I would recommend this house. This is a good family vacation house.

This home was perfect for us. It is on a quiet block, with short walks to the harbor walk and to the beach. The house is spacious and welcoming. The kitchen is well appointed and we really enjoyed making s’mores at the campfire. The screened porch is really awesome, too.

Poor maintenance and lack of cleanliness spoil this otherwise lovely home in a great location.
I have rented several properties in SH in the past, and this one is large and in a great location. Sadly, it is not well cared for. When we arrived we saw that the front and screen porch were not swept. The screen porch, a nice addition, was less inviting due to the visible dirt and cobwebs on all the screens and food crumbs in seat cushions. Food crumbs were also in the couches inside the house and on the indoor floors . We also found a letter in the kitchen from the city of SH saying “this is a 3rd and final notice” for the owner to schedule a mandated property inspection, and that the water would be turned off during the week of my rental. When I notified the owner, she indicated that this was taken care of. That was not true, as two men from the city arrived midway through the week and said they were there to turn off the water that day! Luckily they were understanding of my predicament as a renter and said they would wait until the weekend to turn off the water. I informed the owner of this and she essentially blew it off. (Incidentally, the men from the city also made mention of how the outside of the home did not look like it had been cared for, so I was not alone in my opinion.) The kitchen was dirty, i.e., pots and pans were greasy to the touch and hanging from a pot rack covered in stuck-on cobwebs, and baseboards and corners were frankly filthy with food crumbs, cobwebs, etc. This was true throughout the first floor. The upstairs seemed cleaner, perhaps because it is a newer addition. The balcony has a great view but was also barely swept; dirt, leaves etc. circled the entirety, as did a ring of mildew on the railing. The pièce de resistance was the grill CATCHING ON FIRE because the grease trap was full. Luckily my husband, who was grilling at the time, had seen the fire extinguisher and used it quickly. It’s a minor miracle no one was hurt, what if the propane tank exploded!? I told the homeowner about this immediately and she was pretty nonchalant. She essentially told me to just eat at the local restaurants in SH, like oh well 🤷♀️. It was only Tuesday so I took it upon myself to clean the grill after researching how to do so. I asked the owner to refund my cleaning fee for this, and she essentially ignored me. I told her all of the above info prior to posting this review but received only a flat refusal to return the cleaning fee. So, caveat emptor with this property! At least the grill is clean!

Mixed Feelings
This house was very spacious and accomadating for the 6 of us. The location to the beach took 10 to 15 minutes to walk, not 5. Just a few minutes to channel.
You should know there is almost no yard, which did not affect our stay but might someone else. Our bed on main floor had a big lump in mattress which my poor husband had to endure. If none of the above bothers you, you will greatly enjoy this house.

Perfect location
We have stayed in several South Haven rentals but this one was the best. We had plenty of room to spread out. We were within minutes of walking to the beach, pier, downtown. There were tons of linens and towels. The kitchen is in need of more pots and pans. We bought an inexpensive 12” frypan as there was only one and it was about 8”. Had a little trouble getting in as the lockbox was broken but problem was resolved fairly quickly. Beds are comfortable and house was clean. The screened in porch was a favorite of everyone both furingvthecdayvandxevenings. We had a wonderful time.

Loved our stay!
This house is in a wonderful location! Block from South Beach and downtown maybe two blocks away. We had our teenage boys have a friend and there was so much room in this house for us all to spread out! I just loved décor and openness of the home. My hubby enjoyed a couple cocktails on the master bedroom balcony, overlooking the channel and lake in the distance, sunset was right there!

Top notch location!
Julie’s house was just perfect for our family. Plenty of space for everyone. The fire pit and bikes were an excellent addition and bonus. The location of the home is excellent for walking to town or to the beach. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. Great stay in South Haven!!

Nice Stay in Michigan
Nice big house with plenty of room for spending time with family. Screened in porch is large and the weather was great so this was where we spent most of our time. Property owners are very responsive to any questions you might have. I would recommend this place to others and I would stay here again.

Spacious home in great location
We really enjoyed the large screened-in front porch where we ate our meals, listened to the sounds of a heavy Lake Michigan surf, observed the boaters in the channel and played card games every evening while viewing the beautiful sunset sky. Perfect location for walking to the beach, the marina and the many downtown shops.

Age Span Family ENJOYMENT!!
Great time again in South Haven; this property housed our crew of 5 adults, one teen and a 5 year old!! Bicycles, sand toys, fire pit; balcony and screen room to see the river easily. Comfortable air conditioning and homey decor; plenty of bathrooms for all of us!! Looking to book next year! The best place in our 13 years of South Haven.

Love this home!
This is now the third (or maybe fourth, I can’t remember!) time we have stayed in this home and we love it for our family of 7! Location is perfect for beach and walking for shopping/food downtown. The house has always been clean and is spacious enough that we are not on top of each other all week! Can’t wait to come back!

Great stay
We had a wonderful week in South Haven, and we loved the house. The location is ideal for short walks to the beach and lighthouse and downtown. Julie was very kind and responsive to questions and requests. We would love to stay at this house again if we have the opportunity to vacation in South Haven in the future.

Hidden paradise
This place is amazing the pictures don’t do it justice. Very nice place with plenty of room for the entire family to spread out. 2 Blocks from all the downtown excitement. 2 blocks from from the canal river walk. About 4 blocks from the the beach. The bikes were nice. We didn’t have to haul our own with us. The view from the top deck is breathtaking at sunset. The screened in porch offers a nice place to sit and enjoy a morning cup of coffee while reading a good book. We will definitely be back to this location.

South Haven Trip
Although this is a very lovely home with charm and nicely decorated, we had some issues with the structure. When we arrived I have no hot water for a bath. Service man come the next day and a new hot water heater was suggested. The water pressure was terrible, you could not fill the bath tub and take a shower upstairs. The last problem was the upstairs, was too warm and the air conditioner can’t keep it cool in the summer and warm fall. I think these issues the cost she be less day than we paid the towel racks in the bathroom broke as well as the toilet paper holder. I wish the place was a little cleaner, ver dirty windows and dirt in the bathroom .

Great House & great location
Very spacious house--much larger than we expected from the photos and description. The house was great and located close to all the fun things to do in SH. Our favorite part of the house was the amazing wrap around screened porch. It was lovely. Would highly recommend.
