My daughter and her family loved their stay. It was a great location for a family with young kids with terrific access to the park to beat all parks and the beach. The back porch and yard were perfect for getting together and everything you possibly could need was there. We were so comfortable and impressed!!!

Great little cottage blocks from the beach

Perfect Location

We loved this little place. We have been coming to South Haven for many years but this is the first time we rented a place. This location was perfect for our young family. The house had just enough space and added items that made traveling with our kiddos great! Would definitely come back and visit this sweet little home again.

Would be perfect with a new mattress

It's a nice little house that's well maintained and well furnished, and it's in an unbeatable location. BUT the mattress on the queen-sized bed was incredibly uncomfortable, and there's no dishwasher even though listing says there is one.

Cute little house

This was a great place to rent. It was a short walk to the beach. The screened-in porch was an additional bonus space. The shed was stocked with bikes and beach items. No dishwasher, but we managed without it.

Great little house

Was a great house that fitted our needs of a family of 4. Outdoor screened in porch was a great bonus area. While it is close to the beach straight west you do have to walk a few more blocks if you have a wagon as the closest beach access is all stairs. Overall not an issue. Quick walk to town as well

Super cottage by the Lake - South Haven truly a gem!

Love this place! It's a good price (relative to other much more costly houses) for a place that is close to Lake Michigan and great for families. We love all the fun stuff for kids in the garden shed (including cornhole and hula hoops) and the enclosed back porch which gives the house an extra room that's al fresco! Improvements that could be made include: stocking some swim towels; maybe some different color bath towels so people don't get so confused by which white towel is theirs; cleaning out the bath drain between bookings; unblocking the bathroom sink drain so the water flows out properly; and stocking a few more items in the kitchen like an ice-cream scoop and a good set of plastic tumblers and dishes to be used outside. We are big fans of the house, having returned this summer, and definitely recommend it to others!

Perfect home for small family

This was a great little home that we enjoyed very much. The location can't be beat as its super close (walkable) to the playground, south beach, van buren trail, and downtown area. The extra amenities to keep the kids busy were a major plus. We utilized the beach chairs, kits sand toys, and outdoor games included in the outdoor shed. Morning coffee in the screened in porch may have been a favorite part of the trip. We'd definitely consider staying here next year. The only downfall is that there isn't a dishwasher (1st world problems). It was also odd that the house was only stocked with two rolls of toilet paper and one roll of paper towels for a family of four to last 5 nights. That could have been fixed with a message to the property manager, but we just bought some extras while we were out.
