Sunset Haven was exactly that!!! We were there 6 nights in mid April. Everything was as listed. The house was immaculate and very well appointed. They supplied everything we needed other than food and drink. There are many stairs to get into the house and to each level. Communication with the host was easy and prompt. The weather was not good for using the hot tub. However, the view was spectacular on the days with no rain and fog. We definitely would recommend and stay there again when in the area.
The pictures and property description were very accurate. The home is beautiful, with stunning views of Lake Michigan. Our communication before and during our stay with property management was excellent. The neighborhood was very quiet yet only 10 mins from South Haven and 20 mins from Saugatuck. We enjoyed our stay so much, we extended it a couple of additional nights. We look forward to staying here again!
This house is far above average. The view was spectacular and the hot tub was hot and ready in spite of the snowy weather. This was a great place for a family gathering.
The location of this home is outstanding, with wonderful lake views and a large outdoor area to enjoy. The home had all the things we needed for a great stay. Rooms are spacious and home was very clean.

Our group of 4 couples, long term friends, from different parts of the country, periodically vacation together. Sunset Haven was an ideal location for us.
Other than some sugar ants on arrival the place was great. Very well stocked kitchen and lots of common space to hand out and meet.

Thank you Todd for leaving a review. It was the that time of season with the small ants. The pest control person mentioned since there should not be anymore issues after treatment for the season. I am so glad the space worked for you and your guest. Until next time!

Absolutely Perfect
We took our children and dog on a family vacation and it was absolutely perfect! So many bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone to choose from we just decided to enjoy the house our entire trip! Thank you for offering our family such a beautiful experience.
We had an amazing weekend at this spectacular home. The location/view is unbeatable, and the house is beautiful inside and out. The ownership team was also super responsive when needed on a Saturday. Couldn't recommend this home more highly, it has everything and the setting is so beautiful (even in winter!).

Family getaway birthday weekend could not have been better! Property and views are breathtaking! Communication with Management company was so easy and their responses were always immediate to our questions. We had six adults and one child and had more than enough room in this amazing place. Will definitely return!

The view is amazing
I brought my mom and siblings here as a Mothers Day gift. We had the best time sitting on the deck every night and just looking at the water and sunset. The view is awesome. The house is clean, the management company is responsive, and there is so much to do nearby. We found the beds to be comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. You can't go wrong renting this property.
We enjoyed our stay and the front yard view of Lake Michigan was fabulous! We could see the sender every night.
The beds were comfortable and the layout of the house faced the Lake; it was perfect. The kitchen has everything set up to be easy to find.
We recommend staying here!

Everything was great and really enjoyed the new furniture on the deck. Already booked again for next year ( that makes 4 years in a row). Only suggestion would be a nice table/chairs to make it easier to eat outside. Thanks again.
