Comfortable and cozy. No complaint's what so ever. If a issue did come up, the owner responded asap. I would recommend "The Beach House" for your stay in South Haven or surrounding area's.
My stay was an extended stay during the winter months. I so enjoyed the cute kitchen which offered up everything needed for holiday baking and cozy meals.

We have been to the South Haven / St. Joseph area for five summers in a row now, and the last two we have stayed at this cottage. It is simply perfect for our family of four. My teenage boys and wife love it: she says she could live her year round. This year we got the perfect sunset on our arrival night, overlooking Lake Michigan which is just at block away at the end of the road. It is pretty quick to drive to great beaches in St. Joseph, South Haven, Saugatuck or Holland: we checked out Holland this year, simply a wonderful town. We love the firepit in the evening, grilling and eating on the deck, and the cottage is always clean and well stocked with towels, excellent air conditioning, and the beds are comfortable. It's now our summer home !

We had an amazing time here over a holiday weekend! The neighborhood is really cute with lots of amazing rentals and lake views just a quick walk away. The place was more spacious than in pictures and the was very comfortable for two couples & a kiddo. We would definitely stay again. For those wondering if there is any way to sneak to the beach (I know I was hoping I could), there truly is no way down without a scan card and a code. Cameras everywhere and super steep erosion! This is of no fault to the host, they are clear about this in the listing, I just figured id share! We were able to watch the big south haven fireworks show from the end of the street, and were able to drive to public beaches in less than 10 minutes!

This was the perfect place for a girls weekend. It was in a great location, very convenient to the downtown shops and restaurants as well as the beach. We loved to walk down to the end of the road to see the beautiful lake views. The little details were greatly appreciated…coffee, creamer, teas, hot chocolate, soaps, kitchen utensil options, and much more. I would highly recommend staying here!
