My family and I enjoyed our stay and found everything to be very clean.
Visit South Haven every year during blueberry season. This house is in a great location, lots close by. Clean and description is accurate.
Property was as expected. The large dining space and living room were very comfortable. Great area out back for grilling and sitting at large patio table. Kids enjoyed the park across the street. The location was very convenient to downtown - only a few minute drive and could technically be walked. As listed in other posts- walking upstairs was sometimes noisy but not the end of the world. Hosts left a lot of amenities (toilet paper, garbage bags, etc.) so it was nice to not have to rush out on our first day there.
Great property, good communication with Susi. The only concern- we could hear kids running upstairs but I don’t know what you can do about that
House was clean and very well stocked. Included all the conveniences we had hoped for. Located in a quiet neighborhood not far from the hub bub of South Haven. Would stay again. Upstairs might need a few rugs to soften the occasional walking sounds.
This was our third summer back! Need we say more. Very clean, perfect location near everything. Property owners are awesome as well!
First time rental in older residential part of South Haven. Beautiful kitchen and bath, cheerful comfortable shared spaces. Many amenities! Easy to get anywhere. Very clean, private accommodations and owners very helpful. Left personal important items and they were returned to us via mail within the holiday week. Will return again!
It isa good location, the house was clean, and the supplies were pretty good, but dealing with these owners was frustrating. Every important communication had to be evidenced by a legal document. The documents suggested that they had been burned in the past and that they felt that they really needed to protect themselves. For example, the rental agreement gave them a right to come in and inspect at any time? They claimed that there was an additional document that the city required - - but it was really just more stuff that they were worried about. from the tenants. This made us very nervous the whole stay - - what are they going to say that WE were responsible for? This made us very defensive the entire week - - which took away from our enjoyment of the property and our vacation. There were small things that they could have easily fixed, like a broken door handle to the bedroom, that they did not attend to.
It was within walking distance to downtown and the beach! Very lovely location!
We are first time renters on VRBO and we will be using it again. The owners of this property were very communicative and nice. The pictures are accurate, at least the downstairs rental. It was clean and bright. The teenage boys thought the cot closet was super cool and called it their “Man Cave”. We did have to buy toilet paper but everything else was great. Lots of towels and washcloths, plates and silverware. We left badminton rackets hoping that the next time we’ll get to play outdoors more. But if not, we hope another family will enjoy them. Thank you Susi and Adam for a much needed and last minute vacation getaway.
My husband and I stayed here with our 8 month old and absolutely loved the home and the neighborhood. Easy walk to downtown area and the lake, and there is a little park just across the street (the baby loved playing on the baby swings). The home itself is well kept, well stocked, and clean. Perfect for a small family for the weekend, and I’d consider it for a longer stay as well.
This adorable place was spacious, very clean and and well stocked kitchen and plenty of luxurious towels in the bathroom. The patio has a large table with a new umbrella for outdoor dining. Plus a new Weber grill w/charcoal and grilling utensils. There are a games, books and over 20 DVD movies to watch. Very quiet and an easy walk into town. We really enjoyed pur stay and will definitely book this property again!
