This is such a sweet little cottage, with cozy decor. Its about 12 miles from everything but the seclusion and deer heards are breath taking. Beach access is so close but you might need a wagon if your are bringing chairs, towels, little ones etc. The neighbors are also very pleasant.

It was a beautiful relaxing place to stay at. Peaceful and private. Photos and description were accurate. Perfect getaway in nature, yet close enough to small towns. Great space for one or two people,- very clean and well equipped.

The entire property was clean and tidy, The kitchen had everything we needed. It was perfect for the two of us and centrally located for exploring South Haven and the vineyards we wanted to visit in the Fennville area. Jaqua Realty was terrific and promptly answered any questions or concerns we had. We would recommend this property and stay again if we are in the area.

We stayed here the week of our wedding at Black Sheep Shelter. Loved coming home to the string lights illuminating the yard at night. Easy to use key code entry. Good water pressure and hot water. Would stay here again.

Adorable, adorable, adorable! Just as pictured, super cute design! This property is perfect for a two-person getaway. Really enjoyed coming back here after a day of exploring the area. It is in a nice central location for visiting quaint towns and beaches in the area. We stopped in St. Joe on the way there and then after arriving explored South Haven, Saugatuck and Douglas, none of which are too far away. It is on a very quiet street with hardly any traffic at all. They had outdoor string lighting on a timer that provides a nice ambience and a fire pit as well. There is a small corner grocery just down the road and also a sandwich/pizza place for food. We never ordered from there, so can't comment on that, but it was nice to have the option available. The whole place is small but completely adequate for two people. The only thing that could have made it better for me was having a fan provided. There is a ceiling fan in the bedroom, but it made a sound that was keeping me awake when turned on high, so had to only use it in low. That is the only issue we had. And actually it was only an issue for me…my husband had no trouble falling asleep. This was a 5 star stay and wouldn't hesitate to come here again.

The house was exactly as pictured and the perfect size for 2 people. If you are looking for a peaceful setting, this is it. It was very quiet, lots of trees in both the back yard and across the road in front of the house. The house was clean, the decor, porch and yard, all very nice. The fire pit had logs already set up, matches, lighter fluid, and plenty of extra wood. Lights were strung in the back/side yard on a timer. I agree with other reviews that the shower is small, but workable for a few days. Amenities were exactly as described. Easy access to I196 to go to Fennville, South Haven, Saugatuck, or Holland.

The check in process was simple and easy. The property was clean and ready to go upon our arrival and all household items, linens, etc were out and/or easily found. Jaqua Properties also sent us a digital guide with info re: the property and amenities and activities in the surrounding area which made finding places to go/thungs to do that much easier. The Lucky Penny is a cozy updated cottage that backs up to a wooded area and was quiet and relaxing. It's only a 10-15 minute drive to most other amenities and activities in the area (hiking, beaches.restaurants, shops, etc). We did come back from a day trip out and about to find the power had gone out. I called the emergency number to report it. In less than 10 mins I was contacted by one of the Property Managers (Ann) who had already researched things and learned there was a power outage in the area (it was windy that day) and provided me with an ETA of when the power was expected back on. She also had already began looking into contigency properties in case the outage was prolonged. Fortunately, the power came back on shortly after I got off the phone with Ann and she even checked in a couple hours later just to make sure we were ok and to inform me that she had confirmed the issue had been fully resolved. We really appreciated her follow-up! In all, we had a wonderful stay at both the property and exploring the surrounding area and plan to come back again at some point in the future.

The house was clean and very cutely decorated. It was easy to make yourself feel at home. Would have loved to enjoy the wonderful fire pit and the stars above, but we had events to attend (our reason for being in the area).

One of the best Airbnbs I've ever seen. Smallish space, but perfect for 1-3 people. Beautifully decorated and super clean, and it had all of the amenities, especially in the kitchen (which, in my experience, is rare for an Airbnb). I would love to stay here again--or just live here, honestly. Will absolutely come back!

Cozy and updated house! The owner provided several amenities (shampoo, soap, dish soap, laundry pods, etc) which was very nice. The shower was quite small though. It wasn't an issue for us but for others it may be. Overall, we had a lovely stay and would recommend this airbnb!

We had a great time on our weekend stay! There's a lot to do within a 10-20 minute drive. The property itself is described perfectly, and very well maintained. Our second night we had an awesome fire, everything was provided for it! There's a beach around the corner, 2 minute drive or 15 minute walk, a little hill down, but watching the sunset each evening was beautiful. After checkout we saw some wild turkeys down the road! Such a peaceful place, we're already looking forward to returning again!

Nicely updated cottage within a peaceful setting in the country. Enjoyed our stay but bed could have been better. Short drive to beach and restaurants. Plenty of firewood available next to nice large fire pit. It was really thoughtful of them to set up the kindling and firewood in the pit before we got there.

Had a wonderful trip and loved Lucky Penny home! The house was clean, comfortable and update. There was a large yard with grill and fire pit. We were a close walk to a small beach and a short drive to the public beach. The neighborhood was quiet and we took many walks/runs along the road/ lake shore. We were close to the Glenn store for groceries and excellent pizza! The real estate company responded quickly to our questions, and even dropped of some dry wood for the fire pit after a rain. I think our favorite part of the house was the front porch, where we spent mornings drinking coffee and a few evenings watching it rain. For a small family, couple or group of friends it is the perfect Michigan cottage. We for sure hope to stay at Lucky Penny again!

The cottage was a cute get away that made a recent work trip much more enjoyable by feeling a little bit like a vacation. Even our MI friends thought it would be great for a staycation. Everything looked and smelled brand new. The host was super responsive even on a weekend and we found more amenities than expected based on the description.

This location was PRISTINE!!! Everything was brand new. The fire was already stacked with logs. We also had a surplus of chopped wood. There were ample linens and supplies. They truly thought of everything. The location was peaceful yet central to many wineries, restaurants and fun activities. We will definitely stay again.
