We really enjoyed our stay at Harry’s House. The home was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. The hosts were wonderful - we would definitely return!

Thanks for the kind words. We hope you will stay with us again the next time you are in South Haven.
The house was clean and well kept. We loved the location to the beach and the town. Hosts had everything we needed, including a picnic table and beach chairs. We could even store our bikes in the garage.

We are so happy you chose us for your vacation in South Haven. We look forward to having you again!
Harry’s House was a convenient location. Three blocks to the beach and Kid’s Corner. Very clean, plenty of towels. Quick response when messages sent to owner. We enjoyed our stay!

Thanks for staying with us! Hope to see you again next time.
We loved Harry's House. It was so close to the beach and downtown. Our adult family of six had plenty of space. The sun room was our go to place for coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening. We hope to visit again!
This is a clean, comfortable, well-stocked home with a mid-century vibe. The location is great: walk to the beach or town. The only thing missing is a comfortable hang-out area outside (maybe a bonfire pit or chairs on the front porch or a patio area in the backyard).

Thanks for the review!
We have Adirondack chairs and picnic tables available in the garage for folks to set up in the back yard however they like. The city has been a bit iffy concerning fire pits so we've chosen to not include one for that reason.
Hope to see you back again next year!
We enjoyed our long weekend in South Haven. The house had everything we needed and it was a short walk to the beach and town. The owners were right next door if we needed anything. Overall, it was a great weekend.
We loved our two weeks at Harry's House. The location is walking distance to the beach and downtown. It has everything our family needed for an enjoyable vacation and reminds me of the house my grandparents built. Looking forward to visiting again next year!
We spent two weeks at Harry’s House and cannot say enough about the property. It is a great location for easy access to the park, beach and downtown. Property has a nice backyard and a picnic table for outdoor dining. We also loved spending time in the screened porch area.

Thanks so much for the kind review. We were happy to have you guys. Don't hesitate to stay with us again if you are ever in the area!
Our family enjoyed our stay at Harry’s house. House was clean and cute! We loved the fresh flowers on the dining table! We liked that we were in walking distance to the beach and town. Not even a bad walk with kids. The owners were helpful and friendly.
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Harry's House. The home is older with lots of vintage charm. It was very comfortable and the systems are all up-to-date. It was like staying at home, but near the beach, lots of attractions, and wonderful restaurants. We hope to return in the future.

Thanks so much. We look forward to having you stay again the next time you are in South Haven.
We had the nicest time staying at this house. It's spacious, clean and in a very safe area. A very small walk to the beach and you have the best view of Lake M.
The only con is the bathrooms are small and there is no hose outside to wash off the sand from the beach. We are booking again for next year!

Glad you enjoyed your stay and thanks for the nice review. Just to let you know, we do have a hose hooked up in the back of the house by the raspberry bushes between the kitchen and living room. If you ever have any questions during your stay, don't hesitate to call or email us.
It is a lovely house located in a very quiet neighborhood. Close to the beach, 5 min walk, and to the downtown. House was very clean. No problems with checking in. The management is very friendly and responsive. Our stay was very enjoyable.

Best of both worlds - Playground + beach nearby!
This house was perfect for us. A great screened in porch, nice yard for the kids. We loved the fact that we could walk to the beach and the Kids Corner Playground. The house was very clean, well maintained, with a nice gas grill and garage to store your bikes.
Bonus was the wifi and access to netflix movies for the kids!
We will defining look at staying here again!
Our family of 6 had an enjoyable time at Harry's House for Labor Day weekend. Everything we needed was there or quickly available. We appreciated the little touches such as fresh flowers and all the games for the cool mornings. Everything was clean and ready for us when we arrived and we were even greeted when we drove up. Thank you for the stay.

It was great having you as guests! Hope to see you again soon.
Great location for walking to park, beach, and downtown. Kitchen well stocked with basic utensils, kids dishes, and great pans & baking sheets. Wonderful 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath on one level; loved the clothesline for drying beach towels & suits.
We wish: there were room darkening curtains and fan in kids bunk room, more 3 prong outlets, and outlet covers on those accessible.

Thanks for the nice review and suggestions. We thought about a ceiling fan in the kids room, but with the bunk bed there, thought it might be a hazard for the children sleeping on the top bunk. We do have pull-down blackout shades in there already but perhaps you'd prefer curtains? We'll try to keep some extra outlet covers on hand for those who would like them.
Thanks again!
It is a lovely place, but the apartment smelled a little when We came in, but it aired out. Good kitchen equipment. Good beds and linen. Lots of towels and toilet paper. Two toilets. Very lovely veranda. Close to beach and downtown.
It would help to have more lite in bedrooms. All in all, it was a good experience.
Everything we needed and so close to Kids' Corner and the beach!
Lovely, comfy, quiet. We had everything we needed in the exact area we wanted to stay in. Beach toys, chairs, lawn chairs, grill, coffeemaker, microwave, dishwasher, washer, dryer...all of the things that we look for in our SH rentals. Owner/s were accessible if needed, as well. Jennifer introduced herself and said if we need anything to let her know (she lives next door). A few things to note: the washer and dryer are in the master bedroom which didn't bother us, but might bother others if they are doing laundry in the evening and going to bed at the same time. We had a small ant problem on the kitchen counter towards the end of our stay, but we immediately put out traps and they disappeared. There was a musty smell to the house when we arrived, but we did adjust to it. The house is quaint and older, and we have experienced the same odor in other rentals. I think it's hard to control. :( We adored the sunroom so much, definitely our favorite room! We also cozied up in the living room for family movie night. The kids loved the bunk and trundle bed! We loved the flowers from the garden on the dining room table at our arrival. There are black raspberry bushes and a beautiful garden surrounding the house! We were also touched by the pictures of Harry, documenting the house and former owner and the changes to the house over time. A very unique and appreciated touch! Great stay!

Thanks for your nice comments! A couple people have mentioned an odor which we can't quite identify as we might just be used to it. We have recently encapsulated the crawl spaces under the house and keep a dehumidifier running all summer long. We also use a very good air filter in the central air so it might just be how an older house is as you mentioned. Hope to have you back next year!
Darling home, charm from the wallpaper to the linoleum kitchen floors. Hosts checked in to make sure we had everything we needed.
Short stroll to beach and shops.
We had a wonderful stay at Harry's House! It was very clean, the beds are very comfortable, the house was stocked with everything we needed! The location is perfect! 5 minutes to town, walking/biking distance to the Kids Corner and the beach! We loved our stay and will be back!
