The Hosts were wonderful to communicate with throughout the booking process and during our stay. Marlowe’s Haven is exactly as described and marketed: quaint, clean, cozy, has all of the amenities we expected. The beds are so comfortable! We fully enjoyed the hot tub and fire ring out back. Quiet neighborhood close to shops, restaurants and the lighthouse. We stayed for a long girls weekend in November. Don’t hesitate to book Marlowe’s Haven. We hope to go back next year!

Great stay for girl’s trip!

House was delightful and loved the fact they have bikes to use. 10 minutes to downtown area, we didn’t have to deal with parking and felt safe after a couple beverages at one of the watering holes ;). We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely place in a lovely town!

A very nice and clean place. The bathrooms are VERY nice and the bed was super comfortable. It’s about 0.8 miles to downtown and my wife & loved walking down. It’s also 1 mile from Kal-Haven Trail which was fun. The host very accommodating and checked-in to see if we needed anything.Would definitely stay here again.

Girls Weekend

We had a fantastic girls weekend getaway at Marlowe’s Haven. The house was adorable (and exactly as pictured)! It was cozy and had all of the kitchen amenities we needed to eat our meals at “home” and so many extra added touches (including cookie sheets to bake cookies). We would definitely recommend this house and hope to stay here again!

Great place for a girls trip!

We came up for a birthday celebration and the home was perfect. It had all the things we needed in the kitchen and bathrooms and was very modern and clean. Beds were very comfy as well. It was a short walk into town which was nice for dinners and shopping. We loved the back and front sitting areas. We would for sure recommend this home to any type of group - a family or friends.

South Haven getaway

Beautiful clean house about a mile from beach. Can bike or even walk into town (maybe 20 minute walk). House was plenty big for 3 adults and 3 kids. Fun backyard with fire pit and hot tub. The house has all of the amenities needed it even has beach chairs and towels. We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent property!!

What an adorable house! One of the best VRBO’s we’ve stayed at. Very clean, great amenities with the hot tub and backyard set up. House was well stocked with anything we needed. Love the retro mint green appliances! Nice location…about a 15-20 minute walk to downtown. Close to the interstate as well. Quick responses from the hosts. Highly recommend!

4th getaway

Property as described. It was very clean and well stocked. The walk to town/lake was about 20 mins, so not bad at all. There were bikes available but we didn’t have an opportunity to ride into town. Erica and Alyssa were very responsive to messages. If traveling in the summer, the upstairs is quite warm but there were recommendations in the house manual to help.Overall would recommend the property and would stay again!

Idyllic Spot for a pre-trip to South Haven

This was the most seamless vrbo experience I have had. The house was sooooo cute, spotless and looked exactly like the pictures. The sunroom is clutch. My partner and I spent our mornings with coffee bathed in sunshine there and he adored sitting in that sweet rocking bench. The neighborhood is lovely and the neighbors are kind. I had a wonderful time watching the leaves turn and eating all the local snacks and this house was a huge part of it.

Great house! Very clean and cute beach decorations. Very well stocked, the hosts even left s’mores supplies for us. Backyard was a great place to hang out with a bonfire. A little farther from downtown/beach than we had expected, about 20 min walk to downtown and 40 min walk to beach. Otherwise would completely recommend!

Beautiful home rental!

We had a group of 6 women stay at this rental for a long weekend in South Haven. The house fit us very comfortably. It is beautifully decorated and appointed with every necessity. The entire house was clean on arrival. The hot tub was clean and hot and ready to use when we arrived. Downtown is a quick drive or a 10 minute walk. We had a great time and can’t wait to return!!

Perfect Spot

This was a girls trip with three of us without any kids. The house had plenty of room and could have accommodated more people easily. It was very clean and had all the things we would ever need to have a fantastic stay! The hosts were lovely and responsive and went out of their way to check that we never needed anything additional. The photos are true to listing - everything is nice and new and adorable looking, but still retains that charm that an older home does. We would book again in a heartbeat!

Perfect Family Winter Getaway

This house could not have been more suitable for our family, pictures are exactly what the house looks like inside and out. Super cute, super clean, all kinds of accommodations, towels, extra pillows, toilet paper, pods for dishwasher and wash machine. All the cute little touches are perfect, even upon arrival a smores kit, ready and waiting. Rooms sizes are good, beds comfy, kitchen table great size for family games and puzzles, just an all-around great home. We went in the winter and enjoyed it thoroughly, even used the hot tub as the snow was falling, it was beautiful. It is close to downtown South Haven/restaurants and close to stores if case you forgot anything. We also were close enough to go tubing at Timber Ridge and went on a sleigh ride at a ranch we found. The owners were WONDERFUL, they respond as soon as you reach out. Check in and check out was perfect. I would highly recommend this place, and we would definitely go back.

Mini vacation

My husband and I were supposed to be in the Cape but Hurricane Lee changed our plans so we ended up driving to MI. This house does look like the photos and they do a good job providing everything you need. The code didn't work when we arrived but they were quick to send us a new one. The one downside was that the floors were very dirty. We both kept collecting things on our feet/socks and there were some wrappers on the floor from the previous renter. Despite that, I still give it 5 stars and would come back and bring my slippers.
