This is a nice home in a quiet neighborhood. Great location with easy access to South Haven! We loved the private beach, & the beautiful Michigan sunsets!!
Perfect spot to enjoy the beach, autumn colors, family and friends. Peaceful tranquility with hikes, shopping and dining so close too. Hosts were helpful and so easy to work with. Highly recommend!
Me and my family had an amazing experience. The property was beautiful clean and close access to many fun attractions for my family. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone to stay!
My family was able to get away for a few days. All my family members expressed how they really enjoyed it. The house was clean, cimfortable and close enough to several attractions and towns that allowed us to experience many things. The private beach was beautiful.
Had a wonderful weekend with family! Very nice house and neighborhood! Great hosts! Always responded quickly to inquiries. Loved having access to the beach and watching the beautiful sunsets. Would highly recommend this property and hosts!
Stay very comfortable and clean. Easy access to surrounding places. Very clean with ample room for everyone. Would recommend to future guests.Thank you
Property was as described and very comfortable for our group of 4 adults and 2 kids. The house is well set up to allow people to be together and also to have space for separate activities . Ray was very responsive to a plumbing issue that arose. Thanks for a great little vacation.
Great locaton between South Haven and Saugatuck. Easy access to a private beach. The house had pleanty of room for our family of 6 adults, 2 children and dogs.
The back yard was very peaceful. Excellent communication from the owner.
Would definitely book this property again.
Excellent communication from
Me and my girls absolutely loved our stay, the place was clean, and the beds are very comfortable. The location is secluded but there is a house directly next to you. The private beach was absolutely beautiful. No need to go anywhere else. I would definitely load up the car and drive because there is a very large hill you have to go down. We will definitely be back.
We had a great thanksgiving weekend staying at the BlueHaven. The host was very accommodating and quickly responded with all our correspondence. The house floor plan allowed for 2 separate gathering areas which were ideal for the those who wanted to watch Christmas movies and those who were engrossed in the football games. The walk to the beach was a nice way to walk off the turkey, fixins’ and pumpkin pie. The house was as described, clean, and comfortable.I have added it to my list of possible future stays and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing get away no matter the time of the year.
I stayed here with my spouse and 4 of our adult friends and we had a wonderful time. We loved how spacious the house was and the beds were super comfy. The yard is pretty private with only one neighbor. We really enjoyed the fire pit and the ping pong table, although, to be honest we spent most of our time at the beach or on the town!
The location was wonderful, although not quite as close to the beach as we originally thought, it was still within walking distance. The walk to the beach is very pleasant with lots of shade, but the last road is quite steep. The beach itself was grogeous and had very few people on it. We could have stayed there forever! Overall it was a great stay, with all the things we could ask for! We would 100% stay here again!
The property was just as described. It was well equipped with all necessities as well as being very clean. We had fun with the ping pong table and the 3 Smart Tvs were a big plus. The bi-level structure was ideal for our multi-generational family. The kitchen was well stacked with dishes, glasses, pots, pans, etc. We made good use of the barbecue grill. The kids had fun playing in the huge backyard and riding their bicycles in front of the house. We recommend the Glen Store for sandwiches or pizza. Being located between South Haven and Saugatuck gave us additional shopping and beach options.
Based on our experience, we would love to return next year.
We recently stayed at Ray’s property for a family reunion nearby in Glenn and had a wonderful experience. Communication with Ray was prompt and easy, and he was very accommodating to any questions/needs we had. The property itself is very well kept, and although we didn’t have a chance to use a lot of amenities that are offered, there is plenty to do at the house. There is a bonfire pit in the backyard and nice patio/bbq as well. Each bedroom was clean and the beds were comfortable. With 2 separate living spaces (one in the basement and one on the main floor) it was enough room for both my husband and I and my parents to stay together but not be on top of each other.
We didn’t cook much at the house but when we did, everything from utensils to bakeware was found in the fully stocked kitchen.
The house is at the end of the street in a quiet neighborhood and you have access to a beach across the street.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay and are definitely considering staying again for our annual reunion next year!
We absolutely love visiting Michigan! We will definitely book this little gem in the future! Cute cottage with private beach access. Location is quiet with a perfect size yard, well equipped kitchen, and very clean. Highly recommend!!
We were in the area for an extended family visit. Pretty much used the house as a crash pad at night. It had everything we needed, and we loved that sunset point was within an easy walk. House was well stocked with basics and offered plenty of room for everyone. Communication with the host was excellent. Unfortunately, we arrived late at night and had to contact him. He responded immediately which was really appreciated. He also provided advanced recommendations of things to do and good restaurants in the area. It made us wish we could stay longer.
We had a wonderful stay in South Haven! The house was perfect for our family with plenty of space and rooms for us. 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms is always a plus! Everything was clean and taken care of. The firepit and table in the back were great to sit around. The larger room upstairs does get a bit warm so bring a fan!The beach is a 2 mile walk across the street but only a 2 minute drive. The beach is a bit rocky but is very secluded and lots of space to play. The kids loved looking for rocks and swimming in the lake. The town of South Haven is about 10-12 min drive away. We would definitely recommend this home!
Overall the stay was great. The pictures on the vrbo page probably need to be updated. My daughter was really looking forward to hanging outside on the hammock and tree swing. Neither of those were there. The picture of the gated community makes you think you're staying in that community, but it was across the street. Also, there was no dishwasher. I just assumed there would be one.
