Perfect location, comfortable abode
This house was so sweet! A short walk to the beach and downtown with a nice sized yard for hanging out. The kids played pickleball and the adults relaxed on the sprawling deck. There is a garage with toys, bikes and things for the beach. There is plenty of room to sleep: 3 bedrooms, one with a crib and a loft space. Then trundles and fold away beds here and there to stow the smaller kiddos. The kitchen had what we needed and the A/C was comfortable and the house was clean and tidy. Thank you for such a wonderful place to make memories.

Sweet place for a sweet 16!
We enjoyed a wonderful weekend celebrating our daughters sweet sixteen in South Haven! And this home and it’s location were absolutely perfect! More than enough room the two families that stayed and our two dogs! The completely fenced in yards was lovely for the dogs! We loved the pickle ball court and the gas firepit on the deck! And the home was so cozy and charming and truly felt like a home away from home! The proximity to the beach and downtown was wonderful! Delightful and easy walks to both! The property rental company was very prompt in responding to any questions we had! Would definitely stay here again!!!

SoHa vacation.
Perfect home. Lots of space indoors. Very clean, everything you need. Lots of space outdoors. Great deck - four huge umbrellas for sun protection. Wood burning fire pit overlooking pickle ball court, and a gas fire pit on the deck. We had grandparents, kids, grandkids (including a two month old). Plenty of room, and very well insulated - no one could hear the baby crying at night (besides her parents 😊). Awesome location - easy short three blocks to the beach (quick access for beautiful sunsets), and easy short three blocks to shops and restaurants and ice cream. Definitely would book again.

A great house for a beach vacation with family
My family (5 adults and 4 kids from 19 months to 7 years old) enjoyed a great beach vacation at this house. The house layout, bedrooms, and yard amenities were perfect. We loved the pickleball court, deck couches, and fire table. We didn't have any breaks or accidents, but I recommend that any families with small children be very mindful of the large antique furniture and glass decorations that are all over. It made me a little nervous as a parent and we were constantly telling curious kids not to touch anything.

Great house. Great location.
The house was wonderful. Just a short walk to the beach and even a shorter walk to downtown South Haven. The outdoor seating area was ideal and the kids really enjoyed the pickle ball court.

Cute house, great location
The house was very cute and the location was great. Very easy walk to downtown, a bit farther to beach but still walkable. Only issue was that our crawler immediately had black knees, hands, and feet from floors. Had to buy a mop and clean the floors myself. Otherwise had no issues with cleanliness and can certainly be challenging to keep beachhouse floors spotless. Rental company was easy to work with and had good communication. Would definitely consider renting again.

Killer yard in awesome location
Loved the fenced in yard with tons of space for kids to play and adults to relax. Amenities were perfect for mornings at the beach (easy walk) and afternoons exploring downtown. Good to note that the keypad to access the house is on the back door.

For Pete’s Sake Rocks!
We had a blast! The house was perfectly located and we easily walked to the beach and downtown! It was fully stocked with everything we needed! The beds were comfy, the house was clean and there was a cool “secret” room the kids loved! The pickle ball court was an added bonus. One of our favorite stays to date! The house was perfect for us!
