Great time
Our family loved our stay at this property. The accommodations were comfortable for our family and the house offered amenities to enhance our stay. The owners were helpful, as was the property manager. The location - right on Lake Michigan - is our family's idea of heaven. Despite the weather (unseasonably cold and overcast), we enjoyed spectacular views of the big lake from morning to night. That alone made our stay very special. We also loved getting a glimpse into our hosts' family through momentos, art work, and custom painted furniture. We could tell there was a large and loving family that owned this space which added immeasurable charm to the house. Thanks Steve, Marion, and Terrie! We hope to return next year.....

Charming South Haven beach house
Property is in a perfect location in South Haven. Short walk to the beach. Quiet neighborhood. About a mile from.downtown. My family had a nice time. The kids loved the beach. Not suitable for anyone that is unable to climb stairs.

Unhappy
We were looking forward to a relaxing vacation, it never was to be. When we arrived, the security code given to us was incorrect. It took awhile to get the correct one. The cottage inside was very old and beat up. I don’t have a problem with old, but the carpet was fifth and the blinds were all bent. I think that is deplorable and there’s no excuse! To top it off, bats were getting in and that was all we could take! The owner did refund me for the entire $ amount and I did appreciate it!

Family vacation
I would have to say that the description of the property is very accurate. There were so many knickknacks, Making it impossible for any cleaning crew to clean Thoroughly. The deferred maintenance of the property also added to that problem. Most windows didn’t work. Having said that the house does have some charm to it. The beach is beautiful and close to everything! The beds were comfortable with nice soft linens . However, I would not recommend it for a small children, babies or anyone with any mobility issues.

Why they chose this property

On warm summer nights up to 16 of us would eat at picnic tables on the broad back patio as we watched the sun sink into Lake Michigan. After we had supped, a large posse of kids and grownups would amble down the sandy slope that led to the edge of the water and would dip their feet, and sometimes build a campfire. The home comes with a large stretch of beach deemed “private".

What makes this property unique

The house isn't air conditioned and the kitchen is small, but—frankly-- that just adds to the charm of this very comfortable, structure on the edge of the ocean like, “Big Lake”.Attached to the main dwelling there’s a large block house with two large clean showers and two large flush toilets. The property is on the city’s miracle mile; it’s easy to walk up the sand to the pier directly across the channel from the light house. A convenience store and beach rental shop are 3 blocks away, and it’s a short walk (maybe a mile) across the charming drawbridge to downtown with its restaurants, shops and activities. Lots of bedrooms. Not fancy. Don’t have to worry about scuffing the funky linoleum in the room that overlooks the lake front. WI-Fi Cable; TV; a great fit for 2 or more families vacationing together with their pack of young ones. and a short ride from a 33 mile bike trail that runs through farmlands and woods.
