Welcome to my home! This is a beautilful home that has recently been redone!

Every light fixture and fan in the whole house was upgraded. The backyard boasts a brand new Weber grill this summer. It is fully stocked with very nice linens, towels and mattresses. The kitchen has everything you need to make your favorite meal or just relax with a glass of wine. You can have a great cookout with the gas grill and eat outside on the deck. You can build a fire in the firepit this summer with wood provided and roast hotdogs and marshmallows with the kids. The shed has everything you need for a fun day at the lake including beach chairs, a beach wagon, multiple floating swim devices and cooler bags to pack a picnic lunch as well as chairs to sit around the fire pit. The back yard is fenced in entirely to keep your dog or children safe and to provide you with privacy. You are a mile from the lake and a quick bike ride or walk downtown to great shops and dining.

Best. Rental. Ever. This was our fifth rental in GH and it far surpasses all the others. Fantastic location for walks downtown, impeccable communication, check in was seamless, the kitchen was beyond stocked (almost to a fault, there was little room for food!). The fenced backyard was perfect for our dogs, watching monarchs in the butterfly bush with a cup of coffee, smores, cornhole, and for hosting extended family who were also staying in the area. We even had a decent view of the drone and fireworks shows. I knew I would love this property and it exceeded all my expectations. Thank you, Melinda!Only a few minor suggestions, nightlights for interior stairs, reorg kitchen cabinet contents to streamline movement, more backup paper towel.We will be returning for as long as Melinda allows it! :)

Great house, perfect location
Been staying at this house every summer for several years. Owners recently upgraded bathrooms and kitchen. It’s overall a very nice house. The location is perfect. Couple blocks walk, less than ten minutes, to most everything-downtown Washington St., restaurants, musical fountain, ice cream, etc. state park is 2 miles so gotta drive there. Already booked next year’s stay.

Great for family of 5 w/ dog
Really great location just a 5 minute walk to the shops and restaurants on Washington. Fenced yard was great for our dog. We have three teenaged kids and we all fit easily around the game table and the TV. Lots of nice little touches too like good quality shampoo and wireless chargers on the nightstands.

Comfortable, clean house
We enjoyed our stay in your lovely house. Well stocked, and had a wonderful backyard for our beagle to sniff.
Not a house for anyone with mobility issues, as the stairs are steep. But we did fine, and enjoyed our stay. We were here for a wedding at Central Park, and it was an easy walk!
Thanks for a nice stay!

Wonderfully unexpected
If you are looking for a clean, fully loaded, perfectly located little abode look no further! This home has it all and everything you forgot- inside was clean comfortable for our family of 6 children’s ages 16-15-11-4, the games were a great touch to keep all ages engaged and off their electronics. The beds were all comfortable! The recliner was a hit!! Outside the dogs could run and play fetch, we sat around d the fire I. The evenings roasting snores and laughing. Walking to the lake was easy with the kids and dogs. Our avid runner was able to run for miles and stay entertained. Overall this was a wonderfully unexpected family fall get away! Thank you!

Well-Appointed Home in a Great Location
Our family of six was very comfortable in this well-appointed home. We took advantage of all the amenities including the grill, fire pit, storage unit full of beach toys, boardgames, and fully stocked kitchen. The house seemed recently updated and was tastefully decorated. The bedding was comfortable and even the bunk beds had quality mattresses.
The host provided a detailed welcome book to help us navigate all the features of the home and set clear expectations for check-out. We also enjoyed being able to walk to shopping and restaurants. Will definitely stay here again if we are ever back in Grand Haven!

Nice house, great location, great homeowner
Very nice house. Has all the amenities you’d need. Dogs are welcome so that’s really important to us. Location is excellent…about three+ blocks walk and you’re on the main drag (Washington) for food, shopping, etc. about a mile and a half walk to the pier so we like to do that a lot. Short drive to state park beach. We come here every year and love the house. Homeowner communicates frequently to ensure all is well. Highly recommend.

This is such an amazing upscale rental. The owner responds to messages within minutes.
Sooo many wonderful things are provided for you, everything you need for the beach, everything you need to cook a meal (even a rice cooker!!) blue tooth speaker, firewood, I could go on and on. Clean, comfortable beds and furniture, dining seating for 10 (and 10 more if you use outdoor deck!) such a quiet neighborhood and beautiful backyard, completely fenced and secure for pets!! Large driveway that we fit an SUV and another vehicle into easily.
We’ve already booked it again for fall!
