Best Vacation in South Haven

We had the best time at this gem of a house. It was clean, comfortable, fully equipped and on a very quiet street. The location couldn’t be better. It was a short walk to the beach and evening sunsets. The host was great with communication, both before and during our stay. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Great trip to South Haven

We had a great trip to South Haven during the Fourth of July week. We could easily walk to Kids Corner and the Beach from this house's location which was especially convenient for viewing the fireworks too! The back porch was great for meals and the house had everything we needed.

Excellent rental

Our family (4 adults and 3 small children) have rented this property for a number of years. The house is very nice and the neighborhood is lovely. Proximity to Kids' Corner (playground) and the blue stairs (beach access) is priceless. Town is a couple of minutes drive away but also very walkable. Cora the property manager is wonderful. We will be back!

Amazing!!!

First things first.The house is absolutely wonderful. The house details listed were very accurate. It had enough space to accommodate four people very comfortably. The beds were comfortable- and with someone who has chronic back pain and sciatic nerve problems, the beds allowed for a restful night. The neighborhood is extremely quiet. Cora -our host, was absolutely amazing when it came to communication. Check-in /Check-out was great. We will definitely be back.

This property is delightful.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house. It is close to the lake and to town and provided everything we needed for a wonderful lake vacation. I recommend it for everyone looking for a quiet beach vacation in a lovely town.

Great Location in South Haven

This house just needs a few enhancements to make it spectacular. The host was very accommodating and easy to contact, but there were a few amenities lacking. (like a hair dryer) It was a little off-putting to be informed that there would be a charge forusing and not washing the beach towels

Comfortable Stay

We had an enjoyable time at this property. There was plenty of space(5 adults, 3 littles), it was well-stocked and comfortable, and close enough to the playground and beach for memorable walks each day. Cora and her husband were responded quickly to a minor issue and all was well. We loved South Haven —such a great family setting! For

About the host

Hosted by Cora

Host profile image
We live in Michigan and are retired. I spent a portion of my career working on Lake Michigan studying water quality and fish populations. I love the big lake! We both love the outdoors, bicycling and hiking, especially.

Why they chose this property

We really love all the natural light that comes into the house, the fenced yard and beautiful deck. The house is so close to Lake Michigan, the Kal-Haven trail and downtown. South Haven has so much to offer as a relaxing place to vacation.
