A sizable yard with mature trees, fire pit, picnic table, large patio table and outdoor seating gives your group plenty of room to relax and play.

Just three blocks from Stanley Johnston Memorial Park, a 15 minute walk to downtown South Haven with it's specialty shops and many restaurants. One block from Oak Street Beach. Many festivals, art & craft fairs and local activities throughout the summer. Wine tasting and tours are only a half an hour a way.

We have two outdoor cameras for security. One at the front door and one on the garage that covers the yard and back door.

This was our family home. Until we can return here at retirement, we'd like to share it with you.

    Pros: - Large side yard with plenty of parking - Outdoor shower and clothesline to hang towels - Good location (one block from beach) Cons: - Home has a musty smell especially the back entrance and kitchen. - Beds were uncomfortable - Washer and dryer is located in a bedroom. - Home is in very poor maintenance condition. - Home was dark,dirty and dusty. - Furniture and decor old and worn-out. - VRBO photos do not convey the poor condition of the listing. - Tried to charge us for fandango, never used TV

    Pros: Very near a lovely beach. Street was really nice and quiet. Neutral: House was fairly clean, but not entirely. Towels and bedding smelled of really strong detergent (but some people might like that). Cons: House smelled musty (like a wet basement type of smell). We kept the windows open the whole time (with the AC off) to keep the smell tolerable. After our first contact with the back room, we didn't enter that space again which has a direct connection to the basement. Overall, we had a decent enough stay.

    Was a bit freaked out about the ring door. House had a very cottage feel to it. Enjoyed our stay.

    I was looking for somewhere to stay close to South Haven very last minute, and found this house. It is in the perfect location to the beach and a very short drive to downtown. The house itself is older and needs some updating but very clean. I do think it was kind of expensive for one night, but maybe that was because we only stayed one night, so all the VRBO fees were not “spread out”.

    This was our second year staying at this property, and once again, it was an excellent experience. The house was exactly as advertised—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped for our family of four. Just one block from Oak Beach, the location is perfect for quick and easy beach access. Communication with the property owner was always prompt and helpful, which made everything smooth from start to finish. We’re already looking forward to coming back again next year! Highly recommend.

    Great location! Close to the beach. Plenty of room inside and out. Great yard for yard games, BBQ etc. Firepit was nice to have. Only wish there were beach chairs and umbrella for quests to use (for those of us who fly into Michigan).

    South Haven is quaint and small. This house is quaint, but don't be fooled by the size based on curb appearance. It's plenty roomy, cozy, and comfortable. Plenty of drawer-closet space in the 3 bedrooms, and the kitchen is stocked probably better than yours (certainly mine!). We've rented dozens of places over the decades, and not a single other one comes close. Finally, the location is terrific...a 10-minute walk, or 2-minute drive to the places you want to be in S Haven itself, and 15 minutes to Saugatuck-Douglas. We also spent one day in Grand Rapids, and were in downtown in under an hour. Simply put, you won't go wrong if you make this house your home base for exploring the region.

    Our family of four stayed for a perfect week. Lou was above and beyond as a host, and the accommodations were exactly as advertised. We felt right at home. The proximity to Oak Beach was perfect for our family (even with little legs). And the beach was phenomenal. The outdoor shower at the house was very convenient!
