We had a great stay at this house near the beach. The location was perfect, and we really enjoyed the swimming pool. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Would definitely recommend!
The home and location were all that we hoped them to be. The whole family enjoyed it and voted to return next year. We used all of the amenities on the property, enjoyed shopping in South Haven, and did daily visits to the nearby beach on Lake Michigan. Deanna responded quickly to our questions regarding a couple of things--very pleased with her personableness.
Had a great time. The pool, yard games, close to the beach was all amazing!!! The kitchen had everything you needed-plenty of room for everyone to spread out!!! The host was always available to answer our questions!!! Highly recommend this house!!!
We’ve stayed here for 3 years in a row and plan on continuing to do so. Our kids love the pool and the loft space. The basement is a great hang out spot. Our only suggestion would be to add a rug on the main floor to help reduce the noise - but that may be a unique problem since our kids are so loud.
The house was by far the most stocked VRBO we have ever rented. There was plenty of room for all 12 of us and enough games to keep us occupied for days. We would definitely recommend this house for anyone who is looking for a rental, you will not be disappointed.
We loved our stay at this gem in South Haven! We had a BLAST taking advantage of all there was to do in the basement and backyard- volleyball, swimming, ping-pong, and much more. The main living/kitchen area is spacious and open, and we made good use of the kitchen to cook a delicious breakfast feast each morning. The walk to the beach was an easy 5 minutes where we had it mostly to ourselves, and the drive into town was just a few minutes, also. There were so many cute, little shops and plenty of dining options, too. Our only complaint was that we had trouble getting some of the TVs and remotes to work. We would totally stay here again.
We couldn’t have been more happy with the house we picked! The pictures are very accurate. The house is beautiful! It was like being at an ocean vacation home, without the crazy long drive. The pool and backyard oasis were wonderful! We had one beginning of the year issue with the pool, but it was resolved quickly. Deanna was wonderful to work with! If we had any problems she quickly responded to my messages through the Vrbo app and was super friendly. We are already looking at when we can bring our whole family back again. Thank you for the wonderful family vacation memories!!
We just completed a one week stay at this property and thoroughly enjoyed it! We were a group of thirteen with 7 adults five children (3,6,8,10 and 13) and a baby!
The kids LOVED it! The pool was the focus, but they also spent a significant amount of time in the well equipped basement.
The layout of the house was perfect for our group and the basement separation enabled the adults to enjoy time together while the kids watched movies or played games.
A well stocked kitchen and a second refrigerator in the garage were definitely appreciated. The gas range and an excellent set of knives were a nice surprise for a group of foodies!
The covered outdoor space with a television and an adjacent fire pit were also highlights.
Great location that was easy to get to.
We would definitely book here again!
This property is very spacious & beautiful. Plenty of room for all of us. For the most part it was clean however, there was a "chew pouch" or whatever it's called, stuck to a baseboard down by the poker table that my son saw, the ceiling fans have a ton of dust hanging off of them in the living room the dishwasher absolutely stinks - not sure what's going on there but wow. I'm not sure the pool was cleaned before we got there but I did text the owner & asked him about having it cleaned. He was very prompt at answering & getting someone there to do it. Overall we enjoyed our stay but I think for the price, a renter should be able to know that the place is thoroughly clean & ready for their stay.
A great place for family fun. Absolute fantastic backyard! Fun basement with games. Lake Michigan was within walking distance and a short drive to downtown. We want to stay again!
Our group of 14 had the best time at the Pavilion! The house was spacious enough for everyone to have their own space and the outdoor area was outstanding! Pickleball, volleyball, chess, and of course, the pool was enjoyed by all. We were able to hang out together outside without being on top of each other. We loved having two sets of washers and dryers and multiple refrigerators. These extra amenities made everything so much easier for our large family. We definitely hope to return in the future.
This House was perfect for my family’s annual trip to South Haven. Our grandkids are between 1.5 yrs to 11 yrs ages and the backyard and basement kept them busy even though our weather was not the best. We rented golf carts and they provided us with transportation to beach and downtown. We were able to watch the World Cup from the tvs outside, even from the pool. There are 2 refrigerators and 2 washers and dryers. Upstairs and downstairs have large open spaces. We have been coming to Michigan for summer vacations for 10 years and this is the first house we want to come back to.
This was our family’s first time in South Haven, and it was a great experience. We had 16 people staying in the house (7 adults and 9 kids under 7) and this house had plenty of space. The backyard was great and it’s close enough to town and to the beach. The first street beach was nice, but the stairs to get down to the beach pretty steep. The house was well stocked, the owner was easy to get in touch with, and overall it was a great trip and we would definitely come back!
The house was perfect for my husband and I with our children and grandchildren. Everyone loved the spacious house and all the activities in the back yard, pool, sand volleyball, bean bags, bocce ball. Short walk to beach. Owners put a lot of thought into this home. ENJOYED BY ALL!!
We had a wonderful week’s stay with perfect weather. The pool was amazing! The weather was warm enough we didn’t even use the pool heater. The house was very clean upon arrival. Lots of room and bathrooms to spread out. The oven knob was broken but that was the only problem we had.
We want to stay here again! This is our 2nd time staying here. The property owners were great to work with.
I stayed at the property with my three adult children, their spouses, and four grandchildren, ages 10, 8, 5, and 8 months. The house was clean, comfortable, and well equipped. The neighborhood was quiet, and close to the beach and downtown. The yard was great and we enjoyed the pool. The basement was filled with games. We had non stop fun, and would highly recommend this property.
The house was perfect for our family of 14 as we were celebrating my in-laws 50th anniversary. There was something for everyone in our family at the house. We had teenagers and small children and we enjoyed the pool, outdoor games, and games in the basement. There was plenty of space and very close to the beach and town of south haven. The house was so clean and had many high end finishes. Highly recommend this house!
The backyard is not what it looks like, the property is very expensive compared to what it offers. The walk to the beach is not short especially when carry arms full of stuff. The property was clean and fully stocked. Volleyball court was full of weeds, backyard is fake grass and hodgepodge’s together.
House was great, kids and adults loved the chess board in back and games in the basement. I did feel like there were a lot of fees on top of the cleaning fee if things were not done. I understand cleaning up after yourself but additional fees on top of cleaning fee just seemed silly.
Family vacation to celebrate our Parent's 50th wedding anniversary. First time in 10 years we have all been under the same roof for a full week! It was the perfect rental to accommodate everyone from age 4 to age 73. Everyone had their own space/room and bathroom and endless options for entertainment at the house the entire time. From the pool and all the different activities in the backyard to the basement fun, which we hardly used since it was so nice out. Plus walking distance to the beach which we enjoyed every single day. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone with a large family looking to make some memories. Owners were great and attended to our needs if there were any.
Nice house. I would recommend an area rug in the main living area to help with all the echoes. Guest bed mattresses very hard and the TV remote did not work in the 1st bedroom. Backyard very nice, hard to keep sand from volleyball court out of the pool.
