This is fantastic property - a great location in a great town. Only a block away from downtown but still a neighborhood feel - and the beach is close by. Clean, spacious, and perfect for our family's stay. We've stayed at many different places in Grand Haven over the years and this was one of the best!

Great Location & Family Friendly

Hang Your Hat was the perfect stay for our family of three. It is super close to local shops, restaurants, and of course the beach. We walked to a lot of local spots including the Grand Haven Musical Fountain. We really enjoyed the property and being able to enjoy the area without a bunch of driving.

Thank you for letting others know that HYH in GH is completely outfitted, including items for your baby, toddler, and well equipped for even the gourmet cook! I hope the small glitch with your streaming stick will help earn HYH the 5 star rating for a future visit.

We loved everything about the house. It was clean and roomy and it was a short drive to everything we wanted to see and do while we were there. The bay beach is a short walk from the house. It was lovely. In addi, the hosts were quick to respond to any questions. I'd use this home again.

Ideal Grand Haven Stay

We weren’t sure how being this close to the action downtown would be noise wise, but it was perfect. Minimal street noise and the location of the bedrooms also made for great sleep. We both agree that this place had one of the most comfy beds we have slept in at a VRBO! We appreciated the reasonable and quick checkout expectations. We’d book again, for sure!

Great Location and Communication

The location was great - walkable to downtown and the beach, but not too noisy at night (for my family of 4). Eric was very responsive to communication when needed at check-in. We also found the decor in the place to be more child-friendly (less cluttered) than pictured, which we appreciated. However, there did seem to be some spots in the shower/bathroom that need a deeper cleaning (see photos).

Don’t Hesitate to Book this Gem!

What a great experience! Hang Your Hat has everything you could want or need. It’s right downtown close to shops and restaurants and just a block from the beach! We were able to ride our bike or walk most everywhere. Nancy’s attention to detail is amazing! We enjoyed our breakfast on the porch each day. Such a nice neighborhood! The place is decorated so cute! This will become a yearly vacation for us! Thank you, Nancy!

Thank you so kindly for your comprehensive review! Yes, the location of HYH in GH is ideal for whatever your interests include; shopping and restaurants just a block away, the beach a short ride by car or bike! Many other interests in the area with something for everyone to enjoy. As you noted, HYH in GH is your "home away from home" with everything you will need for your stay without having to bring it yourself; gourmet kitchen, all paper products, soaps, and fine linens. We have always been detailed oriented in everything at the cottage, and even more so this season with detailed cleaning with Microban products used for every touchable surface, knob, pull, or remote. Safety is our primary concern when you come to stay for a relaxing vacation in Grand Haven.

Another Great Stay!

We had a wonderful time at HYH! We've been coming here for years. It's really a great place to stay. It's charming, in a great location, and within walking distance to our favorite places. Eric gave us all the info we needed and was easy to get a hold of. We look forward to coming back next year. We highly recommend HYH.
