Sister Trip

My sister and I stayed here for three nights and it was fabulous! Highly recommend! This home was so clean, decorated very cute, and in a great neighborhood. Close to shopping, dining and the beach and also far enough away from the hustle and bustle. We will be booking again!

Great stay!

We were really impressed with the property! The location is close enough to everything that it doesn’t feel like too burdensome of a drive, but far enough away that it’s not overwhelming! Any issues we had we promptly addressed and taken care of! The only “issue” we had was of the photos on Vrbo. They’re pretty old and don’t show the property off enough!

Great Spot For South Haven Stay!

Excellent, quiet spot near downtown South Haven. Within walking distance of most amenities for those willing and able and easily drive-able! Check-in process was smooth and easy (took me a second to discover the lockbox). Very clean and welcoming. No issues during our stay, great communication, easy check out process! Great spot for couples looking for a quiet getaway and even works well for small families such as my own!

Perfect Stay

This little house was the perfect place four our family of four to stay. The neighborhood felt very safe and the neighbors were friendly, we were a close drive to everything, the house was stocked with whatever we needed, and it was very cute! It seemed like updates had been done since the photos were taken and it was very adorable and beachy!
