Close to Oak Beach
We enjoyed the comfortable home and close proximity to Oak Beach. Our grandchildren had a great time running on the beach and building sandcastles. The wagon and chairs were very helpful. We also enjoyed walking to many restaurants. We had a wonderful time in South Haven and will return.

Great little place.
This place was just a described and a fine place for a couple days. It was close enough to town for our littlest member who is six years old to walk there and back and the beach was also very close. The back deck was full of pollen and some of us struggled with that. Other then that the place was great for our use!

Quick weekend away
Location, location, location. Easy two block walk to the beach, and about a mile into downtown. Plenty of room for two couples. House had everything we needed, and was nice and clean. Loved the back deck, fire pit, and record player. Can’t remember last time I played an album. Will diffidently be back!

Great property
Everything was wonderful . It was a little chilly during our stay so we didn’t get to use the outside much but it was a very nice house. The plug in the shared bathroom didn’t work and the floor in the kitchen seemed a little unlevel. The shower was slick but, I’ve encountered that other places too

Fantastic Stay
We really enjoyed our stay. What a relaxing time we had. We loved the beachy eclectic feel of the place. A huge bonus is being able to walk 2 blocks to the beach and into town for dinner and shopping. The use of the wagon, beach chairs and beach umbrella was a nice surprise. And we will not forget to mention the $dollar$ game! We weren’t able to locate the dollar that the last visitors who played using the obvious “cue” clue, but we for sure left a new clue where to find the new dollar!

Vacationing at the Lake Was Never Easier
This cute little home was so perfect for our beach vacation. We loved the open and airy kitchen with huge countertop for food prep, the large dining table for meals and games, the layout of the entire home, and all the little conveniences such as the outdoor shower for getting sand off, wall hooks for wet towels, and a zippy little vacuum that made sand clean-up a breeze. We used the grill for kebobs and burgers, and the huge capacity fridge was great for our restaurant leftovers and bulk fresh blueberry purchase! The walk to the beach was so pleasant as we passed beautiful homes and yards in the neighborhood, and of course, Lake Michigan was perfect in every way. We appreciate the owners' attention to detail in the shed full of beach supplies, the beach towels, plenty of toilet paper, soap for all the sinks, lighters for the grill, and even little fun touches like activities in the turntable cabinet. Our kids were enchanted with the record player, and the record selection was spot on for these GenX parents! We truly had an amazing time, and the house was simply ideal for our four-day vacation. My husband said we should have stayed longer.

Has everything you need!
My family and I stayed here this past August for a short get away from the other side of Lake Michigan. The beach is beautiful -sand is soft and water is so clear. The place was clean when we arrived. We weren't able to check in early because the people staying there before us checked out late. But, we just went grocery shopping and by the time we got back the place was free. Booking the property was easy - communication was clear. The place was clean and well stocked. It has everything you need and then some. They really paid attention to details to supplying people with so many things like beach chairs, towels, dish soap etc. We loved the walk to the beach and how close it is as well as the proximity to downtown, restaurants and shops. Shannon was very responsive when we communicated and let us check out a bit late which was nice. The only suggestion for improvement would be that the owners call and check in on their tenants. Our bath tub had began to clog and we could have used a plumber to come in and fix the drain issue. We all had to shower in the guest bathroom off the kitchen. Not a big deal since there were only three of us. We loved that we could bring our dog! I would definitely recommend staying here as it is a lovely home that is well cared for.

Perfect fit for our family
These accommodations worked great for our family. We have stayed many years on the south side of SH and this was our first on the North. This is walking distance to Packard beach which is bigger than Oak st. This house has everything for your needs. We spent most every day at the beach with grandkids. The bed in the master is lower than normal and pillows could be better. I am one that puts a high value on sleep when getting up early with grand kids.

Would love to come back in the summer!
Many positive aspects to this home! We weren’t cramped, plenty of room, 2 bathrooms (so appreciated with two teenagers), completely stocked with essentials, and very clean! There were bikes for us to ride, and had the weather been warmer we could of used kayaks. A tree swing was much appreciated by the 13 year old. There are many more amenities that were available to us that we didn’t use due to short stay. I would most definitely recommend this sweet home to a family!

Ideal for beach, biking and kayaking
This home was just what we needed! Easy stroll to Oak St Beach for sunset and North Beach was also nice and close. We really scored with the kayaks and bikes on hand, thanks Mark! Grill worked great, kitchen stocked with good variety of items. Just a note that the "two bunk beds" is ONE set of bunks.

South Haven initiation
This was our first visit to South Haven, and we are asking ourselves, "Why did we wait so long to try it?" This was a family vacation of three generations, and it was the perfect place. The location of this property was excellent. We were outside of the downtown crowds but close enough to walk or bike anywhere we wanted to go. The house was actually more spacious than we expected from the photos, and the host provided more than many do. We had access to the pack and play, beach wagon, bikes, and kayaks and much more. We would definitely stay again and hope to!

Great Find
We have visited South Haven often and usually have stayed on the North Shore loop. We were late in planning this trip and knew it would be difficult finding a rental. This property was available and was a little nervous renting a place we were not familiar with. However, we decided to move forward with it. What a great find! Clean, spacious and a great location. Easy access to downtown, north beach or oak street beach. Everything mentioned in listing is spot on. On top of that any questions or concerns we had the owner was quick to respond. Also, if you are looking for a little breathing room from the craziness of north beach this is the place. Highly recommend this location.
