About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Fun inside or out with game room, fenced yard and 1/2 mile to beach or town.

Love this quiet neighborhood close enough to walk to town , beach, ‘kids corner’ play ground or the Van Buren Trail. At the same time far enough away to have a peaceful time in the large fenced in backyard. Play some pool in the basement or ping pong in the garage. Walk a 1/2 mile to the beach or town. Bring your own bike or hop on one provided and explore the Van Buren or Kal Haven Trails. Play some family board games after a meal at the large dinning table.
Only weekly rentals during the summer season from June through mid September with a turnover day of Saturday.

Great location and my dog was so happy!
Nice, quiet neighborhood close to blue stairs, Kid's Park, and downtown. The fenced in double lot yard was great for our dog! This was our second time staying here and hopefully will be able to do so again next year.

Summer in September
We came during off-season, but the weather was perfect. We enjoyed the house and property. We didn't cook in the kitchen; it really didn't lend itself to that. The basement bathroom and shower were confusing and awkward, but we got used to it.

Great place for kids
Although the house is not large, we really enjoyed that there were so many different areas for the kids to play. Ping pong was a big hit and the house was well stocked for the beach and in a great location.

Great for family
A lovely older home with alot of activities for high energy children, bikes, pool table, games, etc. Indoors looked freshly painted and clean. For two older folks like my husband and I it wasnt a good fit but only because it was further away from the beach and downtown than what we were used to walking. Totally acceptable for younger folks though! A big backyard that was fenced in which was great for our two small dogs but no outside light for bedtime potty breaks and not a great patio to sit at but that is just a cosmetic issue that could easily be addressed. Overall whats important is it was clean and comfortable and in a central location.

Awesome location to beach/town/kids park! House was well maintained, and the multiple games (pool, ping pong, air hockey) were a huge hit with the little one. Host was accommodating and quick to respond to any question I had. We literally walked to the beach access and downtown everyday without issue. Highly recommend!

Great Getaway
Perfect location for a fall getaway. Easy to get to the beach, Saugatuck and St joe. Weather was a little cool but we didn’t mind at all. Our dog loved the back yard. Grandkids came over for a day and loved all the toys and games. Thanks Mark!!

Great family house
We have stayed in South Haven for several years now and this home has been our favorite. The home is bigger than the pictures make it seem and the amount of entertainment available was awesome. The kids loved having their own bunk room upstairs and there was a tv and nintendo wii for them to use. The pool table in basement is awesome and what a great space - there is a tv with cable down there too, perfect for after the kids go to bed. I could also see that being a great place for older kids to hang out. The kitchen was clean and I loved that the fridge was empty. I hate it when you arrive at a rental to someone's mystery foods left "for your use." The dishes were just right for cooking meals at the house and the gas stove made me VERY happy. There isn't a dishwasher but we didn't mind, a dish drying rack was available and we made quick work of cleaning up. We loved that the large table and chairs were quality, not some cheap Target or IKEA set you see at some rentals. This truly felt like a home. The yard was great, full fenced in and with a hose for rinsing off after the beach. The garage is like a bonus space - there were beach toys and chairs to use and the ping pong table provided hours of enjoyment too. It was nice there was three spaces to park off the street. We felt very comfortable here and were only a few blocks from both the beach and downtown.

I stayed with my daughters and their kids and we had a blast! The location is perfect. The older kids could ride bikes or walk to the beach or downtown. The house had everything that we needed, and plenty of room to spread out. Thank you!!

Great vacation!
We had a wonderful trip to south haven and enjoyed this house very much. It is close enough to bike to town, the beach, some playgrounds, even tennis courts! The house was very clean and was perfect for our family (us, our 4 kids, and grandparents) We cooked all our meals in the house, and while the kitchen is small, it worked out fine. There was plenty of room for all of us around the table. My kids enjoyed the upstairs room, and we all played lots of bean bag toss in the backyard. We can’t wait to stay here again!

Fun times with family
We had a great week. The house was equipped with everything we needed. We didn’t even have to use our own beach things because everything we needed was in the garage. The house was clean. It was in a great location. We could walk to the beach and to all the shops and restaurants in South Haven. It was easy to get in contact with the owner. We hated for our week to end and how we wished it was our own house!
