The house is cute, clean and comfortable. It's very close to the beach but the beach is Private but free public beaches are near buy. It's not brand new but a cute rustic and charming little place perfect for families. The smore pit was perfect and the host was very nice.

We enjoyed the closeness to the beaches from this property. Fell in love with the Michigan beaches on this trip. Kat was very easy to communicate with. I would recommend new skillets and pots - non-stick would have been nice. Appreciated the coffee and filters for the coffee pot.

We had a group of six girls ranging from 10yrs old to 40yrs old on our visit in July of 2023 and we had a blast. The location of SuzyQ was right in between St. Joseph and South Haven which was perfect for beaches and downtown walking. The house had a nice shower outside for the kids to wash the sand off after the beach days, which was great! There was plenty of sleeping room to accommodate everyone. Check in was very easy and check out was the same. There were plenty of household items including a washer and dryer, which was very nice! We arrived to SuzyQ with a cute welcome note and items to make s'mores in the backyard fire pit. I would definitely recommend SuzyQ for a stay in Michigan close to beaches and downtowns.

We loved staying here! Everything was clean, and comfortable. The air conditioning unit does a great job of cooling the entire house! Backyard was great for our family to play the outdoor games that were provided and have a bonfire for s’mores. A great place to stay for sure!

Pros: -Enjoyed Hagar Park for beach time. Super close and convenient to location. -quiet neighborhood despite being near neighbors and highway. -beds and couches were comfortable. -location was in the middle of two big areas (South Haven and St. Joe) allowing for easier exploring both areas. -some updates throughout. Hopefully more work is in progress to really help the cottage stand out as great. -outdoor shower was a huge plus after spending all day in the sand! -bright, fun colors throughout -beautiful flowers out front Cons: -No Central AC! In our 10ish years of using VRBO to travel, I’ve never thought to ask if a house has this. I now know. One small wall unit is not enough and most of the windows didn’t have screens to allow them to be opened. Sure, the country is in the middle of a heat wave but it was uncomfortably too warm, especially when cooking or trying to sleep. -Bathroom would benefit from a medicine cabinet or other shelf/storage. Counter space is very small for getting ready. -Shower curtain terrified our 4 year old, like she refused to even use the toilet if the curtain wasn’t flipped up around the rod. -broken decor, bent and very old blinds, dust built up on fridge, in cups on high shelves and under beds, some holes in walls, curtains not hemmed to floor length creating tripping hazard. Overall, the Lake Michigan area was amazing. We loved our beach days. We loved exploring South Haven and St. Joseph (vegan ice cream at Cabanas!) We absolutely look forward to returning. We’d love to use the Suzy Q again because of the pros listed and will watch the listing to see if some more updates are done to make this more comfortable overall!

The host was truly exceptional. We wanted early check in and she bent over backward to accommodate. We had one very minor issue and she was back to me immediately and even checked back again to make sure everything was resolved. The home was very cute and cozy and the outdoor shower was amazing for kids after getting cornered in sand. The best were exceptionally comfortable and I’ve been on the search for the pillows used because they were amazing as well. The only thing I will say is there was not much entertainment in the area which is no fault of the host. If you’re looking for a relaxing get away with absolutely beautiful beaches, this is the spot for you.

The house was just as pictured, very stylish and just enough space for our family. There is some wear on the cushions but we really felt comfortable and enjoyed the porch, the backyard, and just playing games at the large table. The kids loved the bunk room - it even has some color-changing led lights going around the room. The beds were very comfortable and the full size fridge was nice. There are plastic dishes to use but no "real" plates or glasses. That's nice being as we had children with us, but for cooking dinner I hate to put really hot food onto plastic. We loved the outdoor shower for hosing off after the beach - it was the best way not to bring sand into the house. And we found that Hagar Park beach, while it does have some steps to access it, was our favorite. Much less crowded than St. Joe's or SoHa and parking is free there too. Just a few minutes drive away! The home had beautiful fresh flowers in several rooms and the location is top notch. We jumped between SoHa, St. Joe's, and Coloma for food out and things to do. The pamphlets in the house actually led us to Sarett Nature Center which was really great if you like hiking or just want to get out of the sun for a day - kids under 12 are free and adults were only $3. We would stay here again and appreciated how clean this cute house was at arrival!

Suzy Q was the perfect getaway place. We wanted a quiet relaxing few days and this was perfect! It’s located just a few minutes from Hagar Park Beach and about 15 mins from Silver Beach! Suzy Q was comfy and had plenty of room. It allowed for some much needed unwinding and relaxing. Love this place and plan to return again!!!
