Quaint and lovely lake cottage
Lovely lake cottage in an excellent location; less than 10 minute walk to South Beach, Kids Corner, and downtown. Our boys loved the loft space and we all loved the outdoor area with fire pit and the outdoor shower (with warm water!). There were chairs, an umbrella, and a wagon to carry it in. There was even fire wood and all the makings of S'mores provided for our use. I personally loved the clothes line and the pretty foyer at the front door with the white wicker furniture and the ceiling painted with clouds. So pretty! We will definitely look into staying here in the future.

Another great stay at the Lake Michigan bungalow!
We had another amazing time at this South Haven bungalow. Dawn is a wonderful owner and easy to reach for anything. Our kids love the spiral staircase and the loft for sleeping. The house is close to everything so a perfect spot for the South Haven beach experience!

Some house issues but great location
The location could not be better. We loved walking to the beach and downtown and the farmer’s market. The patio and kitchen are as shown in pics and really nice. There are things that I would want future guests to consider: if you are used to hypoallergenic or no pets this rental could be problematic, both upstairs and basement steps need to be used very carefully to prevent injury, pictures do not show a new build rental that is located very close to bungalow, the laundry facilities are in the basement that is susceptible to water during storms and may not be usable as an amenity as well as difficult for people sensitive to allergies. Bikes and beach supplies were limited in terms of one’s that were working properly. We have stayed in SoHo several times at this price point and this accommodation did feel very different. The owners were very responsive to our concerns which was appreciated, but most likely willl be back to the area but not this rental. These are big investments for most families (including ours) so just wanted to pass on our experience.

Great property for a family
This is a great option for a single family. Close to everything and has all you need. The screened in porch was particularly nice in the mornings and evenings. I will say they need to invest in a new bed for the one bedroom. Small and very creaky which wasn’t ideal with an infant in the next room.

Awesome location
It was easy to walk to the beach and not far from town either. Great location! The house was clean and looked like the pictures. The hosts were communicative and helpful. We’d definitely like to come back! Note that although one of the main rooms has a TV, that room doesn’t exactly function as a living room since the two seats in it are separated by the spiral staircase. But this isn’t a big deal since there is a great conversation place in the screened-in porch or around the fire pit on the back patio.

Return to South Haven
We love the house and return every year. Our favorite thing is the screened-in back porch where we spend many hours chatting over a glass of wine. The location is perfect with an easy walk to the beach or to watch the sunset. It's also close to Julia's! The only bad part is having to leave at the end of the week. (Did the owners get our message about the smoke alarm going off in the middle of the night?)
