Perfect for family of 4 or 5, quiet neighborhood, as advertised. Did have an issue with washer but owner did fix. Plenty of parking space, lots of charm. No texts from owner ever came through, had to use VRBO app to communicate instead of number listed on binder.

We were pleased to be able to rent this house for only one night. We previously stayed in Holland, and wanted to continue our vacation in South Haven. The home was very clean and had plenty of space for my husband and I and our 4 children. We rode our bikes to the beach , and to downtown South Haven. We took the 6 min drive to Sherman’s for ice cream. The home is in a nice location and we enjoyed our brief stay.

The pictures were exactly as the property was in person. It was very clean and smelled so fresh right when you walked in. The previous renters didn’t leave the shed key where we could find it, and tbt wonder was very quick to respond and brought her key over for us to use. The beds were comfortable with plenty of pillows and linens. There was plenty of towels, wash clothes, laundry detergent and shampoo/body wash if you needed to use theirs. The walk to south beach was 10-15 minutes and you could walk to downtown if you wanted but we chose to drive. We would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay, the place was lovely and close to everything. Joanna is a wonderful host.

The property is exactly how it appears in photos. It's charming and comfortable. There's enough space for one or 2 cars depending on the vehicle to have off-street parking. The location is great. For us, it was an easy walk up into town. A nice park is located even closer for those bringing kids. We had wonderful and prompt communications with the owners. We would not hesitate to stay here again if coming back to the area.

Great location for exploring South Haven and the area. We walked downtown several times from the house. Beds were good and loved the furniture.

Everything went well ... it was a central location for what we wanted to do . We would’ve enjoyed having a lake view, but we booked last minute and we’re on a budget .. otherwise the house served our purpose ...

The check in process was easy and property was accurately described. The kitchen could have used some more essentials. The house appeared clean, however young children find all the dirt.

We were delighted with the cottage. It is a lot bigger than it looked online. It had plenty of toiletries and was extremely clean. The beds were comfortable and they had an ample amount of towels. We had a very nice time!

Wonderful experience here! Clean adorable place with thoughtful touches like toys and beach gear. Short drive around from main beaches and amenities in town. Highly recommend.

This house is nice, the upstairs did get a little warm. But not bad at all. The house is just blocks from the beach and from an awesome wooden playground for kids (or an adult that still acts like one).

Fantastic. Perfect summer gateway

Our family really enjoyed our stay in South Haven! The home was very clean and plenty of room for a family of 6. The neighborhood was quiet and we really enjoyed sitting on the side porch drinking coffee in the morning. There is a mixture of nice homes and not so nice homes close to the property but the homes directly next to the property and directly across are nice well kept homes. If you plan to cook a lot while you are there I would recommend bringing some of your own cooking utensils and pans. All of the kitchen utensils and pans are very cheap and not in the best shape. Also, if you enjoy walking, the walk to the beach really is an easy one! Our boys 9 and 11 walked it just fine and we pushed the younger two in a stroller. Overall though we really did enjoy our stay and the home did have everything we needed, just some things could have been a little better quality. The owners were also very responsive and kind and even left us a jar of locally made jelly with a card on our door halfway through our stay.

Nice and very close to everything. This house was clean and located near downtown. Everything was as represented. Would stay again!

The place was as expected from the description. Nice home, convenient to downtown area. Comfortable and homey setting.

This 3 bedroom was so adorable. Everything that you could ever need was there (sand toys, kitchen, bathrooms, laundry, living room). Well kept and maintained property. Everything and every room was very clean and with cute decor. Location and Home was as described. The host was quick to respond and very accommodating about getting us an earlier check-in time. Would definitely and highly reccomend to anyone. Would check availability to stay here again if in the area and travel back here.

We’ve stayed at many places in and around South Haven and Joanna’s is one of the best. Is a perfect balance of being close and convenient but not right in the middle of the hubbub of downtown SH. The house is amazing! It felt so much bigger inside than it looks from the outside. We loved the huge dining room table and the comfy couches and the kids LOVED climbing up and down the bunk beds. Speaking of the kids, they loved all the toys Joanna provides, both inside and beach toys. There were even some cute little books that they loved reading every night before bed. The house was super clean and pretty well stocked too. Hopefully we’ll get back there soon.

We loved the Kalamazoo Street Cottage! It was just what we were looking for. It was a lovely walk to the beach for sunsets and town for breakfast and dinner. As we were only 2 people, we didn't feel the need to even venture upstairs, but we were tempted to utilize the spacious master bedroom. We had all we needed to cook a few meals in house, including the handy grill out back. We would definitely return!

Great Place and perfect location!

Property was clean and adequate for our group of 2 couples and 2 kids. Close to town and the beach. Not really much else you could ask for. I would definitely consider returning.

We planned a short notice stay for my family in South Haven. And everything worked out great. The house is very nice and the owners were very accommodating and easy to work to get things set up on short notice.

This property was great for our family of four, children ages 5 and 11. We had grandparents stay with us for 2 nights during the week and it was the right amount of space for us all. The queen bed mattress in the first floor is very comfortable! The kids loved the bunk bed room. The master bedroom mattress was not as nice, but the dramatic ceiling and master bathroom made up for it! Overall, the home was as pictured, the price was extremely fair and it was very clean. There are some things I would prepare others for: it is a 15-20 minute walk to the beach, but if you drive you can find parking easily by Kids Corner. It's also a 15-20 minute walk to the town center, but we were Covid-careful, so we didn't go to town much. The kitchen has what you need; but I wished for better wine glasses and a few more forks, spoons and knives. The coffee maker does not automatically turn off; so be careful not to leave it on all day. There is a dishwasher! There is not a closed-in backyard, but there is a portable fire pit and outdoor table with chairs- it was what we needed to make s'mores, but it's not an outdoor area to hang out for a whole evening with more than 4 people. For the price, cleanliness and comfort; I would recommend it to a small group of friends or family.

The house is super cute and has everything you need for a fun stay. We drove everywhere but the drive was very short and was mostly due to having lots of beach gear. I recommend this for any group of 6 or fewer.

We’ve stayed at several properties in South Haven and have enjoyed being near kids corner, south beach and close to downtown. This property provides that and was comfortable and clean. Only issue is it gets hot upstairs so we kept the hvac fan running to help keep a more uniform temperature throughout the house.

Property was suitable to our group of six. We fit three kids in the bedroom with bunk beds easily. Easy in/out, downtown shops and beach walkable (though 10+ mins). Had a great time.

Adorable South Haven property as described. Owner was quick to respond when we needed WiFi assistance. Upstairs shower was a little tricky to get working. Would recommend driving or biking to beach, especially if you have kids and gear in tow. Thanks!

Nice place to stay! Short walk or drive to downtown and beach. Property was clean, pleanty of pots, pans, dishes, towels and toiletries. Beach toys were available as well. We enjoyed both proches. I reached out to the owners with a couple of questions and they responded ASAP. Washer and dryer were brand new. There is a mandatory non refundable $75 insurance damage fee, I was annoyed with when booking, I don't the like the extra fee senerio. The door has a lock box for keys, I am not a fan of keyed entry. Keyless punch pad would be ideal for a beach vacation. The tub drain didnt hold water, and I was never sure where the hot or cold water was in the shower. A couple of small items that I am sure will be corrected, they never deterred from an overall great stay.

House was very clean and had everything we needed. Very close to everything and our kids loved the bunk beds. Highly recommend!

Super clean property and great hosts. We had a couple small issues with lights, toilet, etc and the hosts came over within minutes of me contacting them and fixed all issues (great people). We loved how close it was to town, the beach and kids corner. We brought our bikes and there was a large shed that we were able to lock them in at night which was a great plus. Beach chairs, toys, boogie boards and an umbrella were also in the shed which was great for the beach. Overall we loved the place. The only cons we have are the king bed upstairs is rock hard (horrible for us to sleep on for 8 nights) and both upstairs bedrooms have high port hole windows that let in all the early morning sunshine (an issue for us since we have small kids that were woken up at 6am each day). The neighborhood also had some questionable things going on throughout the day and night (obviously this is no fault of the owners) but it was in a rougher part of town. I think the area is changing and just a couple blocks over it seemed a lot more family oriented. All in all you can’t beat the price for the location. The front porch was our favorite part of the house and we hung out there quite a bit since we had some rainy days. Thanks for letting us stay!

Further from beach and town than we expected. Upstairs kids bedroom is very hot, receives hot afternoon sun thru a portal window. Extremely clean and stocked with towels etc. Owner/manager was quick to respond to us.

We brought my daughter and her boyfriend for the weekend. The only downside was how small the numbers were but they’d be perfect for a younger family! It was very cold so we were happy to use the fire pit and make s’mores!
