Another great stay in South Haven

We enjoyed another year in South Haven, and this house was great! The kitchen was the best, including real knives, which was a first for all the homes we have stayed in! The patio was a winner, especially in the evenings. We liked it so much we booked it for next year!

Great stay!

Thanks to the hosts for sharing their wonderful house. We loved being close to both downtown and the beach. The house was a calming, cool retreat from the heat and bustle of the beach! The outdoor area was a favorite for gathering at meal times and in the evening because of all the comfortable seating and room for the kids to play. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to make meals for all 9 of us. Thank you!

Excellent Experience

The owners' home is new and beautiful. There is more than enough space to accommodate a larger group, and the owners' have provided more amenities and accessories than one could imagine. The home is just a few easy blocks walk from both downtown and the beach. The owners were extremely easy to deal with and most accommodating. For our next trip to South Haven, we will surely look to see if this home is available. We highly recommend it.

Lovely property close to everything!

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful home. The outdoor area has nice patio furniture, a big grill, and a hammock. The appliances and furniture are in good condition. The beds are a little small, but manageable for us. The listing says 4 bathrooms, but there are only 3 toilets and 2 tub/showers that we could find, which was very disappointing. The best part of the property is the location. 5 blocks to the lake and 6 blocks to Captain Lou’s! The proximity to downtown means there is a lot of traffic and street parking on busy days, but with 2 driveways there should be plenty of parking. We all appreciated the way the rental info was displayed in frames on the wall, including beach safety tips!

Just WOW!

If you’re a perfectionist or a clean freak, this lovely home is for you. Our granddaughters squealed with delight as soon as we opened the door to this fabulous rental. Having used VRBO for properties several times a year since 1995, we’ve rented quite a few properties. This one exceeded all others in being well-stocked. We had ten people and always had plenty of plates, silverware, glassware, etc. Everything was covered, from spices for cooking to plenty of hand soap at each sink, toilet paper, paper towels, detergent, etc. The location was within a couple of blocks to the Farmers Market and downtown. We rented a golf cart for our trips to the beach which is totally walkable, but with little ones and beach gear, we chose to drive. The patio was lovely for dinners outside and the cafe lights really gave it a great ambiance. The beds and furniture for all ten of us were very comfortable, so no complaints about morning backaches! The owners were very attentive and available when we had questions. I can’t wait to return!

Perfect rental

We had 9 in our group & everyone immensely enjoyed their stay in South Haven. The house was just as the pictures showed. Those who had used VRBO before said they’ve never had a place look just as good as the pictures showed! It was within walking distance to the beach, a great park for the kids & downtown. The hosts, Sean & Sarah, were very easy to contact & quick to respond to our requests. Our 4 year old granddaughter wanted to live there forever with all 9 of us! We would definitely book again for a large group.

It was a nice family vacation get away. The house was clean and updated. Home owner was easy to contact. Location was great; close to down town and to the beach! An extra shower/bathroom would have been nice since we had 12 people in the house and a bigger yard but we still had a great time! South Haven is definitely family friendly.
