The perfect place to stay close to the beach. It was super clean and had everything we could have thought of. There’s an identical unit next door wife would be cool for additional family to stay at. Highly recommend!!

Perfect for our family

We loved staying at this adorable cottage. It was very clean and tidy and had everything we needed. It was a 2-minute walk to Oak Beach, and about a 12-minute walk to North Beach. We spent most of our time at the beach and loved being so close. There were tons of beach toys and some boogie boards to use. We would definitely stay here again.

Absolute Perfection

We could not have been happier or more impressed with our stay. Not only were the owners responsive, but you could tell that they truly cared about our stay and experience. We brought our 3 dogs for this vacation and it was such a relief knowing they were safe but also very welcomed in the cottage. As most dog owners know, it’s difficult to find a place where your pets are welcomed and embraced, but there was no worries here! When we first arrived, the cleanliness was unmatched and there were amenities galore. We had everything we needed and more. The beds are comfortable, AC was functioning well, and the amount of beach toys were wonderful! All in all, if/when we ever return to South Haven, we already know where we’ll be staying. We cannot recommend enough!

What a great option for our family fall vacation including our dog! Oak Park Cottage had everything we needed and more.South Haven is so walkable. Beach, restaurants, market, museum, shops, trails. Family friendly and comfortable.The cottage was big enough to hide from rain drops, play family games and watch football.Definitely would check their calendar for our next stay.
