Great location and amenities

Perfect location (close enough to both the beach, main shops and restaurants, and the state park) and everything was just as described. Host was responsive and the home was clean and stocked with everything we needed/wanted (including board games, beach towels, and folding chairs). Would highly recommend to others, especially families with kids.

Cute place! If you don't mind driving to the beach/downtown, this is a great place for a small family. We stayed here in July and still had no real trouble finding parking so not being walking distance was no issue. The house has several AC window units that kept it quite comfortable. Everything was very clean and comfortable.

The residence was quaint and had all the necessities for a great Michigan vacation! The house was mostly clean, but there were some things stuck on the clear tablecloth that were difficult to clean off myself. There were a few bugs, but that’s not unheard of being in a grassy location with trees. I would suggest providing a bigger cutting board for guests as well.

Perfect home base for South Haven vaca

Every summer I take my three boys on a guys only vacation and this year was our first time in South Haven. This property was a great home base for our daily activities. We were able to drive 2 min to stock up on groceries for breakfast, and after a lazy morning we would drive 2 min to hit the beach, town, and arcade. Terri was an excellent host and very responsive to any questions. The next time we visit South Haven we will definitely stay here again!
