Super cute home! The location was great, just a quick drive to the beach and shopping area. The backyard was great, it gets a lot of shade which was perfect to sit outside during the hot days we were there. The wagon included in the shed was great for the beach since we had multiple beach chairs and drinks to haul through the sand. The issues I had were that it was me, my husband and our parents with both my mother and my FIL with knee issues and the bathtub was so high my mom couldn’t swing her leg into it so she wasn’t able to shower the entire time we were there. (Even with the handle in the tub) I think maybe it should be disclosed that the tub is above average height just so people are aware. Also the stairs may be “up to code” as I read in reviews but they are extremely small and extremely steep and it was really hard for my FIL with his knee injury to go up such steep stairs. There would have been no way my mom would have been able to go up them (which we already had decided they were taking the main floor bedroom anyway) Overall it was a nice stay other than mobility issues.

I stayed in this charming home for an entire summer month, and it was delightful. Matt and Gina were super responsive and communication was easy and clear. You will need a car as the lake and main streets are not within walking distance, so make sure you have transportation. A lovely stay and one I will never forget!

Very nice place!

We enjoyed our short stay at this home in a quiet neighborhood.

Cute house! Perfect for our needs. Owners were very responsive.

We stayed here for a week over Christmas 2023. TL/DR: Yes, yes, YES we would stay here again! Full review: This is a great property in a convenient and safe location in South Haven, about a mile from the beach. Positives: • Super-responsive hosts • Clean, comfortable 3 BR, 1.5 BA • Beds/bedding were of great quality; good sleep • Kitchen had newer appliances and was well-stocked for a short-term stay • Furnace and fire-stove heated the house quickly • Washer and Dryer with supplied laundry detergent • Great TV/Internet package • Yard and shed have just about everything you need for summer fun; bikes, beach equipment, gas grill, etc. • Driveway is long enough for parking multiple vehicles Improvements that could be made (not negatives, just things we feel could be improved over time) • Only one TV (LR); yes, people don’t come to SH for the TV, but in a house with up to seven people in it, one TV will be inadequate (easy fix) • No dressers; a week living out of a suitcase is less than ideal (easy fix) • Sleeps 7 but dining for only 3-5; without more chairs, a large group dinner would be very challenging (easy fix) • Driveway approach is incredibly steep at the street and driveway is not paved; might be a challenge for those with difficulty in walking on uneven ground If we find that we have to stay in a rental next year, there is no question that we would consider Vacay Verde again. For the price of not much more than a hotel room for the week, we had all this.

We had a great time in South Haven. This property is only a mile from the downtown area and the beach. The house was super cute and had all the amenities needed for beach trip. We had easy communication with the owners and would stay here again!

Vacay Verde is a charming cottage with updates and amenities that were perfect for the whole family! The rental was spotless and the host was quick to respond to every question. Great place to stay in South Haven and hope to return again next summer!
