    We had a great family weekend getaway. The location was great and allowed us to easily access the beach, downtown or the interstate easily. The property was great for relaxation and the kids enjoyed the yard. The host was a great communicator and easily accessible for any needs.

    I took my family here for a long weekend, and it was everything described in the photos and description. My son loved the playground, and the vast collection of games was very appreciated as well. It is VERY clean, nicely updated, and well stocked with kitchen amenities. You can tell that a lof care went into making this place what it is. There are a couple additions I would make to the listing for future guests... The upstairs loft is very hot. They included a fan up there and that was nice. It is also open to the main floor of the house which has VERY loud hardwood floors. This made bedtime for us a challenge when putting the kids to bed up there as everyone else had to carefully choose where to walk. Both downstairs rooms were comfortable. The outdoor shower with hot and cold water was awesome for rinsing off after the beach. They included TONS of beach chairs and other gear including a cart to get it there. Another thing I will note is that there are a LOT of steps to get to the beach. So keep this in mind if you're traveling with grandparents or really young kids. No way to get a stroller or wagon to the beach!

    Our family just had a fabulous stay at Red’s Retreat in South Haven, Michigan! This beautifully decorated cottage set the tone for a week that was sun- and fun-filled! Our grandchildren were over-the-moon with the loft, a perfect place with bunks and good sleep. Two full baths, a laundry room, and open living space made us all feel at home. Only a short ride to public beaches, parks, shops and restaurants. Chuck and Gail have the PERFECT PLACE for families with little ones!

    This experience was a delight! The house was spotless and inviting and we felt comfortable immediately. We wanted for nothing as far as amenities go and are anxious to return. The beach is beautiful and for those who can’t do the steps there is a beautiful public beach one mile toward town. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!
