Great location and view
Overall a great base location to take day trips to Holland, South Haven. The property was spacious and quiet. Big yard for lawn games. Lots of steps to the beach but we managed. Loved the huge kitchen and dining area. Kind of an odd floor plan with two bedrooms opening right off the kitchen. Only one bathroom on the ground floor serving both bedrooms and doubling as the powder room. In mid-August, the house was very much in need of a deep cleaning. The main areas were clean enough, but many of the cooking utensils were dirty, the fans were coated in grime, the trash bin beneath the plastic liner was filthy, the grill was disgusting. Some of the upholstery was stained. We had to scrub and clean many things before we used them. I’m sorry to say this because the place is really beautiful, but it really needed a good cleaning. There were also some safety hazards outside. The metal deck was old and in need of repair. There were some holes with very sharp edges, and it was not easy to see the edges of the metal steps. Several of us stumbled on the steps before we bought some painters tape to mark the steps, which helped. The handrails to the steps down to the beach were rough, I got a splinter the first time I went down. Again, sorry to say this because we did have a wonderful week in spite of these issues. I felt that for the cost, plus the hefty cleaning fee, things could have been cleaner and in better repair.
