The home and location were all that we hoped them to be. The whole family enjoyed it and voted to return next year. We used all of the amenities on the property, enjoyed shopping in South Haven, and did daily visits to the nearby beach on Lake Michigan. Deanna responded quickly to our questions regarding a couple of things--very pleased with her personableness.

We’ve stayed here for 3 years in a row and plan on continuing to do so. Our kids love the pool and the loft space. The basement is a great hang out spot. Our only suggestion would be to add a rug on the main floor to help reduce the noise - but that may be a unique problem since our kids are so loud.

Family vacation

This was our family’s first time in South Haven, and it was a great experience. We had 16 people staying in the house (7 adults and 9 kids under 7) and this house had plenty of space. The backyard was great and it’s close enough to town and to the beach. The first street beach was nice, but the stairs to get down to the beach pretty steep. The house was well stocked, the owner was easy to get in touch with, and overall it was a great trip and we would definitely come back!

The backyard is not what it looks like, the property is very expensive compared to what it offers. The walk to the beach is not short especially when carry arms full of stuff. The property was clean and fully stocked. Volleyball court was full of weeds, backyard is fake grass and hodgepodge’s together.

Wonderful place to stay

We had a wonderful week’s stay with perfect weather. The pool was amazing! The weather was warm enough we didn’t even use the pool heater. The house was very clean upon arrival. Lots of room and bathrooms to spread out. The oven knob was broken but that was the only problem we had. We want to stay here again! This is our 2nd time staying here. The property owners were great to work with.

Family trip

I stayed at the property with my three adult children, their spouses, and four grandchildren, ages 10, 8, 5, and 8 months. The house was clean, comfortable, and well equipped. The neighborhood was quiet, and close to the beach and downtown. The yard was great and we enjoyed the pool. The basement was filled with games. We had non stop fun, and would highly recommend this property.

Perfect house for family of 14

The house was perfect for our family of 14 as we were celebrating my in-laws 50th anniversary. There was something for everyone in our family at the house. We had teenagers and small children and we enjoyed the pool, outdoor games, and games in the basement. There was plenty of space and very close to the beach and town of south haven. The house was so clean and had many high end finishes. Highly recommend this house!

Wonderful Spot for Family Getaway!

We loved our stay at this gem in South Haven! We had a BLAST taking advantage of all there was to do in the basement and backyard- volleyball, swimming, ping-pong, and much more. The main living/kitchen area is spacious and open, and we made good use of the kitchen to cook a delicious breakfast feast each morning. The walk to the beach was an easy 5 minutes where we had it mostly to ourselves, and the drive into town was just a few minutes, also. There were so many cute, little shops and plenty of dining options, too. Our only complaint was that we had trouble getting some of the TVs and remotes to work. We would totally stay here again.

Wonderful Family Vacation Getaway

We couldn’t have been more happy with the house we picked! The pictures are very accurate. The house is beautiful! It was like being at an ocean vacation home, without the crazy long drive. The pool and backyard oasis were wonderful! We had one beginning of the year issue with the pool, but it was resolved quickly. Deanna was wonderful to work with! If we had any problems she quickly responded to my messages through the Vrbo app and was super friendly. We are already looking at when we can bring our whole family back again.

Perfect rental for all!

Family vacation to celebrate our Parent's 50th wedding anniversary. First time in 10 years we have all been under the same roof for a full week! It was the perfect rental to accommodate everyone from age 4 to age 73. Everyone had their own space/room and bathroom and endless options for entertainment at the house the entire time. From the pool and all the different activities in the backyard to the basement fun, which we hardly used since it was so nice out. Plus walking distance to the beach which we enjoyed every single day. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone with a large family looking to make some memories. Owners were great and attended to our needs if there were any.

Perfect Spot for a Family Get Together!

We just completed a one week stay at this property and thoroughly enjoyed it! We were a group of thirteen with 7 adults five children (3,6,8,10 and 13) and a baby! The kids LOVED it! The pool was the focus, but they also spent a significant amount of time in the well equipped basement. The layout of the house was perfect for our group and the basement separation enabled the adults to enjoy time together while the kids watched movies or played games. A well stocked kitchen and a second refrigerator in the garage were definitely appreciated. The gas range and an excellent set of knives were a nice surprise for a group of foodies! The covered outdoor space with a television and an adjacent fire pit were also highlights. Great location that was easy to get to. We would definitely book here again!

Great location. Great amenities.

We really enjoyed the private beach access. It's a shared private path for the local neighborhood. There were plenty of amenities to keep the whole family occupied. Minor tip for guests: Bring your own toilet paper. The toilet paper there is what you would find at an office park (Scott), but this was not a big issue, particularly given the abundance of amenities and high quality appliances. We were also really impressed with the bathrooms. Every bathroom -- even the hall bathroom had a fantastic shower. We ran into a few issues (e.g. pool not heated, miscommunication with the cleaning company to clean the space), but the owner was responsive and quickly addressed these issues. Overall, this is a fantastic property.

Perfect place, until it wasn’t

House was beautiful and a great spot for a family gathering with multiple generations. Unfortunately, ended on a sour note with a poor interaction with the owner and an un-swimmable pool. Instead of concern for the imbalance of chemicals of his pool causing intense rashes, he accused us of unauthorized use of the pool heater. He was dismissive, condescending and rude. If you’re local you may note that the weather for the week of June 22 reached into the mid 90s and the heater was not on at any point as verified by the pool/maintenance person who eventually helped figure out the acidic water caused by no alkalinity. Be kind and maybe choose a different place to stay in beautiful South Haven!

Awesome!

This house just shines from the inside to the outside. It was MORE than perfect for our family. Our adult children came with their spouses and kids and stayed and played and played and played. Everyone loved it. My husband and I started a tradition two years ago just so we could have intentional time all together...we pay for the place and the "kids and spouses" provide the meals. Our "children" are spread all over and we only have once a year to all be together. That's not enough for their Dad and me! Life goes too fast and is so busy! This place fit.the.bill.. We had lots of laughs and memories were made. Wish we could do it again here but the price for the future got in the way.

Plenty of room

This property is very spacious & beautiful. Plenty of room for all of us. For the most part it was clean however, there was a "chew pouch" or whatever it's called, stuck to a baseboard down by the poker table that my son saw, the ceiling fans have a ton of dust hanging off of them in the living room the dishwasher absolutely stinks - not sure what's going on there but wow. I'm not sure the pool was cleaned before we got there but I did text the owner & asked him about having it cleaned. He was very prompt at answering & getting someone there to do it. Overall we enjoyed our stay but I think for the price, a renter should be able to know that the place is thoroughly clean & ready for their stay.

Awesome house and location!

We all loved our stay! Beautiful, clean house! Pool was great to have with kids! It was a little chilly, but to heat it cost $200.00. The basement was awesome with the different things to do! There was plenty of stuff in the kitchen to cook with. There was plenty of towels, toilet paper, dishwasher pods! A high chair would have been nice, just because my daughter forgot hers.😊 The location was really nice! Not far to walk to the beach or you could drive down to the public beach. We did both. The lock on the front door was difficult to use. Everything else was great! The owner got back to me quickly when I had any questions. Thank you for sharing your beautiful house with us!😁 Everyone loved it so much that they want to come back for our family vacation next year, but the price went up and you have to stay longer than we can😔
