4th of July Fun Fest

Beautiful property, great location, and accommodations exceeded expectations. My wife and I enjoyed a cold beer on the awesome patio compliments of the hosts upon our arrival. There was a nice sized beach bag, towels, and a blanket we took to the beach. Grand Haven is a great beach town. Downtown and the waterfront are a short walk away. We loved Snug Harbor and The Kirby House. Highly recommend driving to Noto’s on the beach. Apartment is perfect for couples and pictures do not do it justice. My wife loved the artwork. Highly recommend.

Quiet and lovely apartment.

We loved the long strolls through the neighborhood and to downtown Grand Haven. The apartment is the perfect size for a couple and they have plenty of towels and bathroom products. I even saw a few curling irons. Nice touch. Very private location and a sweet doggo named Stevie is a pleasant touch. We will be back to stay!!

Magical coast guard week!

We loved staying at Kurt and Wendy’s place for coast guard week - we walked our kids to ymca camp each day and it was a perfect spot. Apartment kitchen is well outfitted - good pots and knives and you know that’s not typical! Really nice to have snacks and coffee all there when we arrived and cold wanter bottles in the fridge. Bathroom even had hair curling iron and straighten tools in addition to hairdryer and shampoo etc Very thoughtful family!!

Great Location - Charming - Wonderful!

What a great place to stay in GH. Close to everything. We walked all over town (over 10 miles in steps in one day just exploring the gorgeous neighborhoods, shops, lakefront, and more!!) Photos don’t do this home justice - truly a gorgeous home and gracious hosts. Quiet, clean, convenient to town. Perfect for our short stay but would be great for longer. Enjoyed relaxing in the secluded patio area - and loved the resident dog! This was our first time in GH and won’t be our last - and will certainly look to stay here again….or maybe move to GH and stay permanently! 😃
