About this property

--Wendy's Cottage--

Located in a historic neighborhood of South Haven, this charming cottage is located just a short distance to downtown. There you will find many wonderful restaurants and shops. This cottage is beautifully furnished with original hardwood floors, a porch swing, and eclectic artwork. The Kal Haven trail is located a short distance from the house and Optimist Tot Lot Park can be found right around the block for the little ones to play. Best of all Wendy’s Cottage is about a mile from both of South Haven’s spectacular beaches and after a day of seeing all that South Haven has to offer, enjoy an evening relaxing on the large back deck. With two bedrooms and a loft area with a queen bed, and two full bathrooms, this house comfortably sleeps 6 people. Additional parking is available in the backyard or on Bailey Street (located 3 houses to the west of Wendy's Cottage).

Clean and welcoming

We felt at home immediately! Very clean and comfortable vibe. Loved having two bathrooms with thick towels. Nicely decorated, too. Be aware that the house is on the 4 lane main road leading into South Haven.

Loved the cottage.

We loved this well stocked and gorgeous cottage. We are used to staying closer to town, but we’re able to walk most everywhere. The driveway was very narrow for our SUV, but we made it work. Would definitely stay again.

Cute House/Good Location

The property was very nice. Two bedrooms with queen/full beds, plus another queen/full in a loft area outside one of the bedrooms. Two full baths with showers. Our family of 4 never ran out of hot water. Host was nice enough to stock the fridge with bottled water and left some snacks to enjoy. The walk to downtown South Haven was no more than 15 minutes, which was great when we didn't feel like driving. We drove to the beach, but parking was easy to find. A lot of reviews mentioned the narrow driveway, which is true, but not a big deal. Overall, a wonderful place to stay. We would stay here again.

Wonderful Cozy Cottage

Wendy’s cottage was a wonderful place to stay while visiting South Haven. It was clean and cozy. We were within walking distance to downtown where there’s many restaurants and shops. We and our friends are walkers and bikers and this property was close to walking and biking paths. I would recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay in South Haven. The cottage had so many personal touches we felt right at home.

Lived South Haven. Really enjoyed Wendy’s Cottage

Wendy’s Cottage was delightful. Super clean,well equipped and quite charming. When we absent mindedly locked ourselves out they responded to us immediately. Problem solved. I gave the location a 4 only because the street was so busy. Walkable location to so many things was great!

50 & Fabulous

I rented this house with 4 of my lifelong friends to celebrate all of us turning 50 this year. We wanted to rent something fun and close to Lake Michigan. This house was perfect! We absolutely loved it. The paintings and decor was adorable. It made us feel right at home. The kitchen was well stocked and the linens and towels were high quality. It made for a memorable trip. SoHa is a special place to us and we are so thankful for having the opportunity to be able to spend this time together. We definitely felt 50 & fabulous!!

Nice and clean property, small driveway situation.

Our Toyota Tundra did not fit in the driveway between the fence that is next door and the house. Wehad to park with the tail end of our vehicle sticking out onto the sidewalk. We also found it extremely dangerous to back out from this location onto the busy street. Just a heads up if you have a wide vehicle/truck, this was kind of a bummer and I felt like that should be mentioned in the listing. The rest of the house was very nice and clean and we enjoyed the use of the back deck that was private. No issues other than parking.

Charming touches, older home

Lots of great artwork and charming details. Clean and fully stocked with lots of the things we needed. Driveway is narrow and very short. This is the main road that feeds into downtown South Haven. We have an SUV and it was hard to go in/out. This proximity to downtown made it convenient to walk there - 10-15 min walk. We had a noise machine so that helped block out the sounds of cars driving by while we were sleeping. Without it the cars driving by may have kept us awake. The front porch is very charming with swing and rocking chairs. My daughter said it reminded her of “Up” the movie. Didn’t enjoy sitting out there because road was busy but it was cute photo opp for the kids! Great big deck and large patio dining set. Big yard! It’s is an older home (as most are in the area) and they did a good job maximizing and decorating the spaces. They are small though. Bathroom has no counter spaces just sink. No tub, which is ok for age for our kids but if someone had babies or toddlers no tub may be hard. Bedrooms had no dresser drawers - so we just put our clothes in separate small piles on the shelves in the closet. We made do, but wanted to note as it made it a tad challenging to get situated with our things. Mattresses could probably be replaced ours was slightly sinking in the middle. Overall a clean and stocked house for our stay. Proximity to downtown was great and very short drive to beach. The host was very responsive.

Great Weekend Getaway

Thank you for sharing this wonderful little gem of a house with us for our girl’s trip. We had a great time. The home was clean and cozy with all the comforts of home. You can tell the home is well cared for and the owners are thoughtful in every detail of the home, from the custom artwork to the fully stocked kitchen to the provided hair dryer and curling irons. They thought of everything! Even pop-up chairs and mats for the beach! The home provided everything we needed and more. We enjoyed breakfast on the porch each morning, the nearby shops and beach in the afternoon, and the great restaurants right on Phoenix St. in the evening. It is a good location, but for us not walkable to the beach while lugging beach gear. We drove. We would definitely stay again. Lovely home!

This was amazing place to stay. It really felt like a home away from home. Yes the house is on a busy road but with the fans on in the room you really don’t hear the street noise. It was a wonderful place to stay and we will be back

Cute cottage in South Haven

Cottage was equipped with everything needed to enjoy a great stay. Living space was great- bathrooms, bedrooms & kitchen were spacious, bright & clean. Back yard and deck were a great places to relax. Didn't realize Phoenix Street was a busy street leading into town so traffic was louder than I would have preferred. But the location made it easy to walk to town & lakefront.

Beautiful Home

Home was beautiful and very clean. Enjoyed that it was great walking distance to the beach and close to coffee shops. Loved sitting on the deck to relax after a day at the beach. Only downfall is parking your car. Driveway is quite small, worked for us because we had a small suv. If you have more than 1 vehicle or a larger vehicle you will have trouble parking. Would definitely stay here again.
