The home was nicely decorated with comfortable beds and bathrooms on both floors which was convenient. This was a short walk from downtown and in a nice, safe neighborhood.

The house was nice and clean. Wish the check in was earlier than 4:00. At first we could not find the code to check in and I contacted the host and she never got back to me. But overall our stay was great.

Very clean, air-conditioned house. It was a great location to get to the beach (Kid's Corner Park/Beach 2 min away with free parking). A great house for a perfect beach vacation!

Enjoyed our stay, property was clean and tidy just like the photos. The bed was a bit uncomfortable in the guest room.

The property and house is exactly like the pictures. It is only a short walk (4 long blocks) to the south beach. It is located in a quiet, safe neighborhood. It had everything you need to stay for the week. If we ever come back to the area we will stay here again!

Property was suitable to our group of six. We fit three kids in the bedroom with bunk beds easily. Easy in/out, downtown shops and beach walkable (though 10+ mins). Had a great time.

We were delighted with the cottage. It is a lot bigger than it looked online. It had plenty of toiletries and was extremely clean. The beds were comfortable and they had an ample amount of towels. We had a very nice time!

The premises were comfortable. Everything worked and if there were any problems the owners took care of it immediately. The only suggestion we could make was more baskets in downstairs bathroom and bedrooms and more hangers in downstairs bedroom. We enjoyed our stay and the facility was close to downtown and the beaches. Thank you for providing a comfortable place to stay. Cheryl

The property is exactly how it appears in photos. It's charming and comfortable. There's enough space for one or 2 cars depending on the vehicle to have off-street parking. The location is great. For us, it was an easy walk up into town. A nice park is located even closer for those bringing kids. We had wonderful and prompt communications with the owners. We would not hesitate to stay here again if coming back to the area.

We were pleased to be able to rent this house for only one night. We previously stayed in Holland, and wanted to continue our vacation in South Haven. The home was very clean and had plenty of space for my husband and I and our 4 children. We rode our bikes to the beach , and to downtown South Haven. We took the 6 min drive to Sherman’s for ice cream. The home is in a nice location and we enjoyed our brief stay.

We enjoyed our stay in South Haven. The house was comfy and well equipped. The location is great and the neighborhood is quiet. We are getting older and notice little things like hand rails now. The back porch step could use a post or hand rail to help our senior set. We didn’t have time to enjoy the backyard, but the fire pit looked inviting. Would love to visit again.

Perfect for family of 4 or 5, quiet neighborhood, as advertised. Did have an issue with washer but owner did fix. Plenty of parking space, lots of charm. No texts from owner ever came through, had to use VRBO app to communicate instead of number listed on binder.

We were pleased to find this cottage during a difficult time to book anything at South Haven! The owner/managers were very responsive and even brought us a tank of propane when it ran out while grilling our dinner! It was clean and tidy and they had plenty of towels and blankets. They also had games and a great front porch screened windows for quiet reading. The back porch was great to relax on after a day at the lake. The kitchen was stocked with only a couple minor things lacking. We will definitely be back!

Comforter in kids room not clean. Mold on upper windows with dead bugs Outlets in kids room loose and sparked Very lacking in cooking utensils, silverware, baking dishes Spider webs with egg sacks around front porch Paper towel x 1, TP enough for 11/2 day We would return to South Haven but were disappointed with the rental

Such a clean cute updated house! My husband and 3 kids ages 6-9 stayed for 3 days. We had plenty of room! Air conditioning worked great on the hot 90 degree days. We rented a golf cart which made going to the beach and town even easier with little ones:) but it was a pretty close 4/5 block walk. The only slight negatives were ants in the kitchen and some loud neighbors at night. Otherwise perfect stay!

The house was very very clean and good size for our family. We enjoyed the location (as we have stayed in South Haven before). That being said, even though the house was a little further from everything than described (a little under 15 mins walk to downtown and the beach) it was a short drive to very beautiful overlooks and beaches. The downstairs was cool but the upstairs was very warm (and we appreciate the fans). The kitchen had lots of spices and condiments, but the kitchen ware (pots, pans, mixing bowl etc) was less than adequate for a family of 5 to cook and prepare food. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would come and stay again, but we would be more prepared had we knwon these things up front.

This is a nicely furnished home just outside of the bustle of town and a few blocks from South Beach. We were able to walk to "The Blue Stairs" and the downtown area from the quiet neighborhood. The home is clean, the rooms are nicely furnished and the owner has thought of many things that ease the traveler into vacation mode. While we didn't forget anything that we needed, it was nice to see that Joanna had made things like soap, shampoo and hair dryer etc. available if we had. We lacked for nothing essential and very much enjoyed our stay. The neighborhood is mostly very quiet and reserved, making our evenings on the porch very relaxing and a welcome place to end long days on the beach.
