Short vacation

The location was perfect for walking or biking. It was a busy street and noisy during the day, but ok at night. We enjoyed the back patio. The kitchen and bathroom were well equipped with everything we needed. Driveway was narrow and sometimes hard to get in and out due to traffic. We enjoyed our stay and the convenience of the house.

Perfect all seasons location! ☀️🍁❄️🌷

We were visiting over the weekend for a wedding. Because of the prime location, we were able to walk to several restaurants, stores and beach. This property was very well maintained and extremely comfortable with several household amenities. We highly recommend this location, property owner was easy to communicate with and we look forward to another visit!

Perfect family get away

We loved staying here for a summer family vacation. It was a great home base to visit area beaches, state parks, and Michigan's Adventure. The home was clean and comfortable. It is on bit of a busy street. The stairs are a bit steep, not a problem for our family, but may be a downside to people with mobility issues. We would totally stay here again.

Nice out door space

Clean well equipped place to stay. A short walk to restaurants, shops and the canal that leads to Lake Michigan. The bedrooms on the second floor are small but the beds are comfortable. The first floor is updated nicely with a comfortable living area and nicely updated kitchen and bath. We loved the outdoor space for visiting also.

Weekend getaway

We enjoyed everything about our stay. The house is in the perfect location. We parked our car on Friday and didn’t get back in until we left on Sunday. There’s easy access to the bike trail behind the house. It was about a 1/2 hour walk to the beach and just minutes from downtown. The house was very clean. She has a lot of extra “just in case” items like a baby gate and high chair, extra patio chairs, kitchen items, etc. The back yard is very relaxing but we mostly sat out front and watched the people go by. Very friendly neighborhood. Would stay there again.

Good location

Great location to walk to downtown grand haven. Kitchen was well stocked with all your needs. There were a lot of ant on the front porch couldnt really sit out there as they were crawling on the furniture. Cleaning company and owner lacked some in needs for the amount of people we paid for. Example only got 2 bath towels for 6 people and no sheets were given for the pull out couch. Owner sent the cleaning company over the next to provide.

Spring Getaway

Unfortunately the last day of our stay was nonstop rain so we went home early. We are in our early 70’s and both of us have a lot of arthritis so the only bathroom downstairs was an issue as well as the bed being uncomfortable. Younger people may not find this as a problem. The location has way too much traffic since it’s on the road to the beaches. We stayed here before the beaches were open. In the summer it must be bumper to bumper traffic. The house location is walkable to the beaches and restaurants which is great for families just not senior citizens.

Fam trip to GH

This was our second trip to Grand Haven. This time, we brought our two adult daughters. We spent more time out back, which has been beautified into an outdoor oasis. Loved the pergola, seating areas, and fire pit. Location wise, easy walk to downtown where all the action is. Downside is that the home sits on the main roadway, which can get quite noisy at all hours of the day. We never really sat on the front porch for this reason. Inside, the rooms are quite cramped, especially the bedrooms. None of us unpacked our suitcases and literally lived out of them throughout the week. The home appears new from the outside, but once inside, the layout lets you know that it’s quite a bit older. The stairway winds and is narrow, which makes it a bit tricky using the only restroom on the first floor when nature calls in the middle of the night.
