About this property
Idyllic Location - Walk to Town and Beaches
Lovely home with wrap-around front porch in idyllic location in the town of South Haven. Six short blocks to Dyckman Beach, eight short blocks to North Beach. Pass by the picturesque marina on the easy, four-block walk to downtown South Haven, a downtown filled with delectable restaurants, delightful boutique shops, and an old-fashioned movie theater. Steps to the nationally-renowned Kal Haven Trail, kitty corner from the Optimist Tot Lot Park, and just across Dyckman Bridge to Stanley Memorial Park. A fabulous location!
Description of Home: This home has a nice, open floor plan with a large, eat-in kitchen with newly painted cabinets, spacious dining and living rooms, and powder room on the first floor. There are three generously-sized bedrooms sleeping nine total and a full bath with shower/bathtub on the second floor. The home's entire exterior and interior have been tastefully painted. New central air conditioning allows you to relax comfortably indoors. Or you can relax on the wrap-around front porch or on the newly-rebuilt, private back deck overlooking woods, easily accessed from sliding glass doors in the dining room.

We love this house! It was absolutely perfect for our family. The house had everything we needed and was super close to the beach! We'll definitely be back!
We enjoyed staying in this house and especially its location. It was one of the most well stocked cottages we have ever stayed in. It had everything we needed, and then some. It was an easy walk to town, and the neighborhood was charming. We would stay here again!

We're thrilled you enjoyed our home and its location. We strive to keep it well stocked! We'd be happy to have you stay again:)
This house was just perfect for our family and had everything we needed. It was close to town and the beach as easily walkable. We had a wonderful time and loved being back in Michigan after years away.
We had a wonderful stay at this location. Everything was neat and clean. Close to town without being in the middle of it. Property manager was very responsive when we had something break on us and had it fixed very fast. All in all a great property and a fantastic weekend
We enjoyed our stay at this lake house with 3 adults and 2 kids. The front porch with swing is a slice of heaven and the kitchen table was great for gathering after cooking dinner on the grill. Quick 5 minute drive to north and south beaches (Too far to walk to the beach with all of our beach gear and kids) and walkable to downtown area. The owners were very communicative.

Absolutely gorgeous!
Very much as described, with easy access to the beach in a beautiful, picturesque area. All the appliances worked, and the house is very roomy.

We had an excellent stay! The house was a perfect size for our group and the location even better. We were close to downtown and the beaches and close to several parks. Any questions we had were answered promptly and courteously. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

We're so happy everything worked out well for you! We'd be happy to have you stay again:)
Everything was just as pictured. House had plenty of room for 5 adults and 2 kids. Easy 1 mile walk to the beach and shops along the river. We especially loved the large front porch.
Long weekend - first beach vacation with little kids
This was the perfect house for our first family vacation! We have three little girls (5,3, and a baby) and we made great memories both at the beach and in this home. We especially loved the porch swing! It was so clean and very well stocked with everything we needed. We will definitely be back!

We were very pleased with our stay, the home was very clean. They had everything we needed and more. The house was not the most toddler friendly with the stairs but we managed with a baby gate! We loved the front porch!
The house was adorable and comfortable. Only wish we would've known there wasn't an iron and a blow-dryer, which normally wouldn't matter, but we were in for a wedding, so those would have been very helpful.
We would stay there again though!
We felt very safe in this home and this neighborhood. We loved the ease of walking to local eateries. The beds were comfortable and the living room had a nice vibe to hang out and talk in the evenings. The reason I didn't give it a "5" is that it is a little rough around the edges. The porch needs a little attending to (sagging boards and a coat of paint) but it was very clean and convenient.

Thank you for your review! We strive to keep up our home. The porch floor intentionally slopes slightly towards the ground to direct rain water away from the house, but there are no sagging boards. We've just had the porch completely repainted, in time for the summer season.

Great home close to South Haven
We loved staying at Debbie's house. It was a very charming house. The location is great. If you are into biking, the Kal-Haven trail is just a couple blocks away. If you want to go to the heart of South Haven, that's just a couple blocks away. The beach is probably also walkable, but we just drove. The house was very clean. I would recommend this as a place to stay to anyone visiting South Haven. We will definitely rent from Debbie again.

I am very pleased that you had a great time at our place in South Haven. We are glad that you found the location appealing. We also like being close to the Kal Haven Trail for biking and hiking. Being walkable to town is convenient for browsing through the nice variety of shops, grabbing a bite to eat, and for catching a movie. Being near the beaches is also great, especially in the summertime!
