Cute, cozy, clean & comfortable...
This was my 5-year-old's first official vacation and she was over the moon from the moment she walked in the door. This cottage checked all the boxes. It was cozy, charming, clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals and the grill fired up easily for the brats. Even the neighbor introduced herself. We never contacted our host because everything we needed was already provided. Thank you for making our family vacation so special!

Fourth of July
South haven put together a beautiful celebration with outstanding fireworks, an adorable community parade downtown, and many other events. A lot of walking so be prepared. Local food was tremendous, lots of shopping options, and beautiful north or south beaches to venture along with their piers and boat tours!! My kids and I wished we could stay longer, such a joy.

My sister and I stayed here for three nights and it was fabulous! Highly recommend! This home was so clean, decorated very cute, and in a great neighborhood. Close to shopping, dining and the beach and also far enough away from the hustle and bustle. We will be booking again!

Great stay!
We were really impressed with the property! The location is close enough to everything that it doesn’t feel like too burdensome of a drive, but far enough away that it’s not overwhelming! Any issues we had we promptly addressed and taken care of! The only “issue” we had was of the photos on Vrbo. They’re pretty old and don’t show the property off enough!

Great Spot For South Haven Stay!
Excellent, quiet spot near downtown South Haven. Within walking distance of most amenities for those willing and able and easily drive-able!
Check-in process was smooth and easy (took me a second to discover the lockbox). Very clean and welcoming. No issues during our stay, great communication, easy check out process! Great spot for couples looking for a quiet getaway and even works well for small families such as my own!

Cute little cottage
We had a great few days at this cozy cottage! Clean and pretty well stocked. Great location, an easy bike ride to town, the beach, and the Kal-Haven trailhead. Just a couple things to note. First you should update your pictures on your listing. 2 nice sized couches are now in the living room, making the room a comfy place to relax after a busy day. Only 2 negatives: the bathroom needs a fan to ventilate, and please remove the red lobster trivet. My friend made tea and sat the hot teapot on it. When she lifted the tea pot to get her second cup, the trivet stuck to the bottom of the kettle, then released and landed on her foot. It’s cute, but not safe. Thank you for sharing your home!

This little house was the perfect place four our family of four to stay. The neighborhood felt very safe and the neighbors were friendly, we were a close drive to everything, the house was stocked with whatever we needed, and it was very cute! It seemed like updates had been done since the photos were taken and it was very adorable and beachy!

Overall Good
Overall a good rental for our time in South Haven. Location was good, not really walkable but only a short couple of minutes in the car to any place we needed to go.
House was clean and had anything we needed.
A couple of cons or things that would make it better-
-bedrooms are very bright with sheer/white curtains. Some darker window curtains would have been nice.
-the larger bedroom had several cubicle shelves filled with decorations (not shown in photos) that was a challenge to keep my 2 young kids away from.
-some game boards or small tote of toys would have been nice for kids/families
