Wonderful Wedding Weekend
Spent the weekend in Beach Haven for a family wedding and the home was perfect. Great location (5 blocks from water) and a beautiful home. The space was exactly as listed and had everything we needed. Enjoyed breakfast on the front porch and evening smores by the fire pit. Communication with Britta was easy and timely. Will definitely be back the next time we are in the area.

Had a Great Stay
We had a great stay here! The house was very clean, extremely well appointed and was in a great location for Grand Haven activities (downtown and beach). We loved that everyone in our group (7 of us) were able to have a bed to themself. Check in and check out were also very easy. We would definitely recommend staying here!

Annual Grand Haven Family Vacation
Our annual vacation at the Runabout Resort was excellent as usual despite mediocre weather and a second year of chilly Lake Michigan Temperatures. Britta ensured everything was in order at the resort and all of our needs & expectations were exceeded. Looking forward to next year's stay already!

About the host

Hosted by Britta Poort

Host profile image
Hi, I am Britta.
31 years ago, I started a journey looking for adventure leaving my home town in Germany and arriving in Grand Haven, Michigan recruited to work as a physical therapist. How lucky can one get, right? I met my husband Mike, a native of Grand Haven a couple years later. We have two children, a son and a daughter, both currently away at college, pursuing their education. Though we are considered "empty nesters" at this time we stay busy enjoying our passions. Mike loves to restore antique wooden boats and recently finished restoring a 1954 Chris Craft Holiday. I joined the Grand Rapids Rowing Club and train and compete with the Masters at several regattas throughout the year. We love taking long walks with our Golden Retriever in Duncan Woods and on the beach. And then of course, there is my true passion, managing our vacation rental property. No matter if you are coming for a weekend or an extended family vacation, I put my heart and soul into making your stay enjoyable and memorable. I love meeting new guests and welcoming return visitors to the Runabout Resort. I hope to build lasting relationships that bring you back to our beautiful town and my house for years to come.

Why they chose this property

While my husband Mike was born and raised in Grand Haven, chance brought me here 31 years ago from Germany. Having raised our children in this beautiful place I have long called Grand Haven home myself. The friendly community, beautiful sunsets over Lake Michigan, beaches and walks along the boardwalk will make you fall in love with our town.

What makes this property unique

From enjoying your first cup of coffee in the morning sitting on the beautiful front porch or balcony to having a barbecue at dinner time or sitting around the fire pit roasting marshmallows at night, you will love our cozy house and spacious backyard. Recently remodeled, beautifully furnished and filled with many amenities you won't lack any comfort. Staying in close vicinity to many attractions will make you want to take a nice evening walk to enjoy that ice cream cone at 'Sweet Temptations', a beer at the local brewery or watch an amazing sunset over Lake Michigan from the boardwalk, the pier or the beach.
