The property is as described. It was clean and comfortable. As others have stated watch your head going up and down the stairs but didn't give us any issues. They provided a nice starter kit with toilet paper, soaps, etc which was nice. Location was perfect for walking to the beach and downtown. Only recommendation would be to provide some beach chairs. Communication was great and appreciated.

We had a great stay! Everything was clean, and the amenities were great. The only suggestion I would make would be to add a vacuum to the property as it would help with cleaning up the sand that comes in from the beach!

We stayed here with our 4 children (ages 2-7), and it was great! It was in a great location walkable to the beach or downtown and just blocks from Kids Corner (which unfortunately was getting revamped during our stay). The house was clean and had everything that we would need. We greatly enjoyed our stay!

The place was clean. 2 full baths was great for our 4 kids (11 and under). AC worked great! Bedroom downstairs gets a little chilly compared to the upstairs so plan accordingly. Stairs were a little steep going upstairs. Kitchen worked great. Plenty of pots and pans to cook with and a good amount of storage space for groceries. Wonderful little gift-package on the table greeted us when we got there. Upstair ceiling heights could be troublesome for over 6' tall. Our kids had no problem. The place worked great for us. Beaches are super close. We went over Labor Day Weekend. Make your restaurant reservations well in advance. Most of the restaurants downtown wouldn't do carryout because they were so slammed.
We loved our visit!

We loved our visit! It was a family reunion with our 90 year old Dad- cousins and Auntie. We grew up in the summertime with 2 cottages on Lake Michigan next to each other a bit further south. The backyard is cozy, sweet and perfect for barbecuing for a family gathering. The house is adorable/beds comfy and well appointed with all the details such as plenty of cooking utensils/plates/silverware/ glass ware/ spices etc. Super close to the beach and downtown. Extra props to Allison at Jaqua Realty who let us push our visit out one nite due to two canceled flights from Los Ángeles. We would love to stay here again next year and highly recommend.

I was very impressed with the house. It had the charm of the South Haven cottage but had been updated. I had a lovely yard and places to just hang out as a family. I also was very impressed with the little details,. I.E Hotel soaps, coffee, cream, and sugar ready on day one, and spices, salt and pepper, and cooking oils.

The property overall was nice, but there were a few issues: The ice maker in the frig was broken, the carpet in the downstairs bedroom was dirty, the toaster has some burned out heating elements and needs replaced, there were no extra trash bin liners left at the the house, had to go out and buy some. A colander at the house would have been nice for washing fruit, making spaghetti.
