10/10 Excellent

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Very cute house! The kitchen was spacious and comfortable with bar seating for 4. The living room sectional was comfy and plenty big for my family of 4 to watch a movie one night. The loft bedroom does not have a door, so we had to be mindful of the sleeping kids in the evening. The twin daybed upstairs has a trundle bed pull out underneath which I was hoping for and all the mattresses are super comfortable.The bathroom was bright, clean, very nice and the whole house had been nicely updated. Because it is an old house the stairs to the front door and the stairs to the loft aren't quite the height and depth of new builds, so folks not steady on their feet might have a hard time.The house is a short walk to downtown Grand Haven and all the restaurants and shopping and fountain. It was just what we were hoping for and we were really thrilled to take advantage of that proximity when the annual Coast Guard festival made parking downtown difficult. I would enthusiastically stay here again next time we're in Grand Haven!

This property was within biking distance of the Grand Haven State Park Beach which was the main benefit! The decor was very cute. The house was clean. There is a full bath plus an extra toilet in the basement which came in handy. The bedroom is upstairs and the room is slanted ceilings. So if you are tall this is not convenient. There is quite a few steps in the house so if you have mobility issues this also may not be convenient. However for everyone else it’s a very cute house that is in a great location for the area.
