This is a fantastic home for families--it was perfect for our crew of five. The location is ideal. You can see the lake from the side yard, and it's just one block to a wonderful playground. The house is cute, clean, with a great beach-y vibe. The porch is fantastic; it is shady with lots of comfy seating. And the kitchen was the best stocked rental I've ever been to. All of the basics are there--coffee, cooking oil, spices, and the utensils and pots/pans, etc. were like-new and of good quality. If I had a question, it was answered within moments. Great stay.

Spring break at SoHa

We love South Haven and the property was amazing. It would be perfect for the summer and we may have to try to return during that time of year. We came to visit family and enjoyed the house very much.

Cozy cottage in great location

Molly was a great, responsive host who made check in easy. This home has everything you could want for easy beach access, a nice yard with hose, outdoor seating, and great location near a park and downtown. It's truly a cozy cottage home for a nice vacation with friends or family!

Great location and front porch.

Great location and the front porch is amazing. The upstairs bedrooms are not ideal if you need to use a bathroom during the night because the floors squeak like crazy. The house itself is perfect for a small group and you can’t beat the location!

Very nice location with a good price. South Haven easy to get around as well as. centrally located along the coast. Did a fun day trip to Grand Haven. Even though it wasn't on the lake it was a easy walk to it. Owner very nice to deal with. Would definitely stay there again.

Long family weekend

Great place to stay. Close to a playground (but kids couldn't actually see it) access to the beach was across the street from the playground perfect ! House was equipped with everything we needed. Walking distance to downtown area. The owner was easy to contact and responded quickly. We had a very nice stay

Vacation from our Staycation

Nice, clean, cozy, adorable 3 bedroom home. As advertised 2 blocks from the blue stairs access to beach and 1 block from kids corner. Recommend this home to anyone with kids of all ages. Owners have the place well stocked so no need to pack beach chairs, toys, etc. Kitchen equipped with everything needed to cook. Great location!!

Summers’ Stay

We loved everything about our stay! The home was spotless upon arrival, a comfortable temperature, and easy to get in when we arrived late at night. The set up was wonderful for our family of 3. We especially enjoyed the quaint front porch and well laid out back deck and grill. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a family getaway. And the location was more perfect than we could have imagined!! Thank you so much Chipouras family!

Wonderful property!

We had a girls weekend and really enjoyed the home and the location was perfect. It’s a three block walk to the lake and the Kid’s Corner. The kitchen was well stocked, back deck and table very nice, especially with the nice lights. The front porch is so cute! Beds were very comfortable. The only downside is that both bathrooms are downstairs, but it was completely doable. The master bath is very tiny, but again, very doable. Thank you for the wonderful stay! The town is also very nice, too.

Birthday Getaway Weekend

Nice place just a couple blocks from the lake. Bed was comfortable and it had all amenities needed for a home away from home. Only issue was getting my streaming service for live tv (YouTubeTV). I couldn't find the app on any of the services provided on the smart TV and DVD player. Didn't really need it anyways as we were out visiting breweries most of the time.

Cottage on the Corner

We enjoyed a short, 5-day stay here early in the season. The accommodations were clean and well located; the only shortcoming was in the size and location of the bathrooms. Supplies were adequate and so were towels and linens.

Great location

Very nice cottage. Quaint and close (2blocks) to beach. Second time here and love the front porch sitting on a quiet street. Coffee maker had moldy coffee grinds when we arrived, some windows were left unlocked upon first entering the house, and a container of McDonalds fries were left in the upstairs bedroom between bed and nightstand. Perhaps a more thorough attention to detail in cleaning is needed, otherwise a wonderful stay with a well equipped kitchen. Thank you!

Great location for a family stay

After many years staying with family in South Haven, this was the first time we'd stayed "as far south" of downtown as this or took advantage of the Kids Corner park a block away. It was a great location for accessing the park, the beach, and the bike trail (starts across the street) that heads south to Van Buren State Park. The house was ideal for our family of five and a mid-week visitor. Having the main restroom off the kitchen was no deal for us, but might be something that some groups might find less than ideal. As advertised, the house was well stocked with kitchen gear and tableware. There were also lots of supplies for the beach...chairs, umbrellas, wagon, bikes, raft, toys, etc. It is a great Cottage on the Corner.

You will love your stay here!

We really enjoyed our stay here for our family vacation! It is so close to the kid's corner park and the blue stairs to the beach. It was so nice to just walk there instead of loading the kids in and out of the car each time. It's a really quiet area and was so relaxing to sit out on the front porch at night. The kitchen is well stocked and has everything you need including a ton of kids plates bowls and cups silverware, high chair, 2 different coffee makers, air fryer and more. We also met the owner while we were there and she was so nice! I definitely recommend this place for families!

Perfect location!

We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage in South Haven. It was very clean and the location was absolutely perfect- just a quick walk down the street to the playground and beach, and a short walk to town. The house had everything we needed and we loved the front porch and appreciated the old house charm. We would love to go back!
