Cute apartment!
The perfect size and accommodations for our group of 4. We loved and enjoyed sitting out on the screened in porch over looking the Black River. If you ever stay here, make sure you check out their impressive flower garden. My only request would be to have more comfortable beds.

Great location!
First, I want to compliment the host (John) who was very nice and great with communication before and during the whole trip. Second- the location was fantastic. It was the last house on a dead end right be the lake. I loved sitting on the covered porch swing and watching the boats. We could walk downtown (a couple blocks) or walk down to the Riverfront walk. Watching the beautiful sunset was a bonus. We ate dinner and shopped or just walked around South Haven. That town is hopping. We had to wait to get in restaurants. We also took a short drive to Saugantuck which was a beautiful artsy/charming town. We walked along the waterway, as well as ate there. Not sure why I waited so long to visit that area. It quickly become a favorite. Enjoy your trip if you go! Linda

Wonderful location
This apartment was perfect for our needs. Close to town and in a very quaint neighborhood. We had everything we needed . We also had access to beach chairs umbrellas coolers and anything we needed for beach days! Only slight complaint was the mattress on the queen bed but not a deal breaker. Had a wonderful time here drinking our coffee on the porch overlooking the harbor

Family trip
We recently stayed at this lovely home with our two young children, aged four and six, and had a wonderful experience. The house was perfect for our family. It was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hosts went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable—they provided clean towels, beach toys, and even activities to keep the kids entertained. The garden was beautiful and added to the charm of the place. The hosts were incredibly kind, friendly, and accommodating, making us feel right at home. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a warm and welcoming stay. We would definitely come back

Excellent location
We had an amazing two night stay here while I was in town for a HDPE event at Gingerman Raceway. The drive was less than 12 minutes to Gingerman and within walking distance of everything downtown South Haven including the beach. Terrific location, clean, and well maintained. Lovely garden as well. I also drive a lowered car and it was able to clear the driveway entry, just barely!

The location was absolutely fantastic and our hosts were so amazing. They brought us fresh cut flowers from their beautiful garden, made sure we were set and then left us alone.

Overlook South Haven Harbor
Nice property with a beautiful sprawling garden throughout the yard. It's a bit cramped inside, but you want to get out to the beach anyway! We were given a fresh bunch of flowers, which was nice. Communication with the owners was good, and we received good restaurant suggestions. The ceiling is not the most soundproof, and it's quite easy to hear walking from the upstairs where the owners stay. Some were pretty late at night. But I have very sensitive hearing, so it may not be an issue for most people. And I wouldn't consider the noise excessive.

The Best of South Haven
After a wonderful stay last year, my husband and I returned for another lovely weekend in this beautifully appointed home away from home. You'll get a good night's sleep in the comfortable bedrooms and the kitchen is well stocked with cooking supplies. It is a special place, conveniently located for walking downtown or to the lake and with great views of the river from the comfort of the screened porch. We looked forward to our stay and hope to make it an annual visit!

Fantastic mothers Day!
Spent a long weekend in South Haven with my husband and kids. The lake house was perfect. Super clean and very comfortable. Loved the view from the porch and the garden. Kitchen has everything we needed, especially appreciated the tea and coffee! The beach, shops, and restaurants were just a short walk to town. Food options were great. Enjoyed the farmers market, ice cream, and Italian restaurants. Our favorite memory was flying kites on the beach. Loved this trip!!

Relaxing stay on a quiet street with beautiful views.
Clean and bright first floor property at the end of a quiet street. The queen bed is very comfy! Kitchen is stocked with the essentials for cooking meals. The screened in porch has really great views of the marina. Downtown is a few blocks away, make sure to make reservations for dinner -we almost didn't get in! The south beach is a short walk or has some public parking available, my 5 year old had no trouble walking wherever we went and he slept great! We had a great stay and will definitely be back. The owners were great with response times when we booked and answered any questions we had, they made our stay very easy.

Our rental was a great mix of modern conveniences and beachy-antique decorating. The garden is lovely and we were gifted with fresh-cut flowers. It truly is a brief walk to either beach or downtown. Although in town, being located at the end of the street it seems more private. Beautiful overall and very clean.
