    The property is as described. It was clean and comfortable. As others have stated watch your head going up and down the stairs but didn’t give us any issues. They provided a nice starter kit with toilet paper, soaps, etc which was nice. Location was perfect for walking to the beach and downtown. Only recommendation would be to provide some beach chairs. Communication was great and appreciated.

    The cottage was cute and cozy. The stairs are quite steep, so assign bedrooms accordingly. Appliances were clean. Floors could use cleaning. Internet was good. Location just a few blocks from the lake made for a good walk and great views every time we went out. Neighborhood was pretty, people were friendly. Check out was clearly defined and simple. We enjoyed our South Haven stay.

    We enjoyed our stay very much. I would suggest extra blankets to cozy up with on the couch during the colder months. The stairs are a hazardous for anyone taller than 5’7”. “Watch your head” would be more appropriate than “watch your step”.. Despite that, we would rent here again. Thank you.

    Friday morning while setting in the living room a young man showed up driving a dark colored car walked up sees my car looks in window sees a 12year old girl setting on the couch and without knocking proceeded to unlock the door and tried to enter. I stopped him but he kept saying he was there to check the plumbing. This is not acceptable. He had the codes and could enter at any time. I won't be staying again

    Property was in a perfect location. 5 Blocks from downtown; 3 blocks to Van Buren Street Overlook/Beach on Lake Michigan. Beautiful sunsets and lots of dining/bars/shops in town. Nice links golf course within 10 minutes. Property management was responsive via text regarding request for maintenance. Furniture was dirty and Fridge needed cleaning from previous guests who left food behind. Going up/down the stairs you had to duck down.

    Great location to kids corner and south beach. Inside was clean; but wish the back yard and patio were in better shape. Patio needs power washed along with furniture. Spiders and webs around all entrances. Just need to vacuum those guys up. Would we stay there again? Yes!

    Our family of 6 had plenty of space, house was clean, beds were comfortable and the home had everything we needed for a weeks stay. Great location too! Would stay here again in the future!
