I love the walk ability to everything from that location. The back deck and yard were wonderful, we spent most of our time there. We really enjoyed the Blueberry Parade passing by our front door!

Wonderful getaway! Location is ideal (close to town a few blocks from the beach).
Backyard is large and fenced in (perfect if you have little ones)
Clean and comfortable (we had 6 adults and 2 kids under three) more than enough space.
If you thinking of staying in South Haven, this is an excellent choice for your lodging.

it was truly a special vacation with the family. The house was perfect for our stay. The decorations and supplies available made it perfect. The pickleball was a hit with the family and the loft area was so fun for the little ones.

Exceptional property. Could not find a better location in South Haven — a 5 minute walk from both downtown and the beach. Private paddleball court was so much fun. Premium outdoor furniture and fire pit makes relaxing outside an absolute blast. House was clean and was very spacious.

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.

Great house. Clean, comfy beds, lots of room inside and out. Even very well insulated - we had a two month old baby with us, and no one in the other rooms heard her crying at night.
Great location. Easy three block walk to the beach; perfect for quick runs down to catch the sunset. Easy three block walk to the town and those necessary evening ice cream requests!
We spent a lot of time on the deck. Those four huge umbrellas really helped keep the sun off the sitting area. And the pickleball court was a big hit!

Great house, easy to walk to town and the beach. Loved the outdoor space at the house, the deck was fabulous & pickleball on the driveway was lots of fun! Everything was as expected, and as always, South Haven is a great getaway.
My family (5 adults and 4 kids from 19 months to 7 years old) enjoyed a great beach vacation at this house.

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.

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.

Really enjoyed our stay here. It was perfect for our group that had four young children. The fenced-in backyard and concrete patio were perfect for playing and scootering!

Perfect location. We walked everywhere. House was clean and quiet. 10-minute walk to the beach. Five-minute walk to downtown. An amazing backyard that we played and roasted marshmallows in. Will plan to stay here again.

Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to stay in your beautiful home for a little mini vacation with my daughters husbands and grandchildren! We loved it and enjoyed all the finishing touches you've put into your home! The close proximity to the beaches and downtown was an added touch! My "little' ones enjoyed the fenced-in yard to run off their energy without the parents having to worry too much! My only issue would be that I'm sorry this isn't my home! I love it! :) Thanks Again Kathy Thiede & Family

The house, For Pete’s Sake, was adorable, cozy, and spacious at the same time. All amenities we could think of, and beyond, were available. The bikes got used, the fire pit table, patio, and what a nice long family table. The kitchen was stocked with all the right tools.

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 pickleball court was an added bonus. One of our favorite stays to date! The house was perfect for us!

We loved our stay. The house was beyond beautiful. The location is amazing 3 blocks from downtown and 4 blocks from the beach but still in a quiet beautiful charming neighborhood. Spacious and excellent for a family trip. I would highly recommend it. We wished we could have stayed longer!
