The house was by far the most stocked VRBO we have ever rented. There was plenty of room for all 12 of us and enough games to keep us occupied for days. We would definitely recommend this house for anyone who is looking for a rental, you will not be disappointed.

Nice house. I would recommend an area rug in the main living area to help with all the echoes. Guest bed mattresses very hard and the TV remote did not work in the 1st bedroom. Backyard very nice, hard to keep sand from volleyball court out of the pool.

Family vacation to celebrate our Parent's 50th wedding anniversary. First time in 10 years we have all been under the same roof for a full week! It was the perfect rental to accommodate everyone from age 4 to age 73. Everyone had their own space/room and bathroom and endless options for entertainment at the house the entire time. From the pool and all the different activities in the backyard to the basement fun, which we hardly used since it was so nice out. Plus walking distance to the beach which we enjoyed every single day. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone with a large family looking to make some memories. Owners were great and attended to our needs if there were any.

House was great, kids and adults loved the chess board in back and games in the basement. I did feel like there were a lot of fees on top of the cleaning fee if things were not done. I understand cleaning up after yourself but additional fees on top of cleaning fee just seemed silly.

We enjoyed our family time together but the weather was a disappointment. Nothing the homeowner could do have that so we did spend more time then we intended at the house, Everything these was great! We never heard anything from the property manager so I couldn't give a 5 star rate but before communication was okay

We all loved our stay! Beautiful, clean house! Pool was great to have with kids! It was a little chilly, but to heat it cost $200.00.
The basement was awesome with the different things to do! There was plenty of stuff in the kitchen to cook with. There was plenty of towels, toilet paper, dishwasher pods! A high chair would have been nice, just because my daughter forgot hers.š
The location was really nice! Not far to walk to the beach or you could drive down to the public beach. We did both. The lock on the front door was difficult to use. Everything else was great! The owner got back to me quickly when I had any questions. Thank you for sharing your beautiful house with us!š
Everyone loved it so much that they want to come back for our family vacation next year, but the price went up and you have to stay longer than we canš

The house was perfect for my husband and I with our children and grandchildren. Everyone loved the spacious house and all the activities in the back yard, pool, sand volleyball, bean bags, bocce ball. Short walk to beach. Owners put a lot of thought into this home. ENJOYED BY ALL!!

Awesome!
This house just shines from the inside to the outside. It was MORE than perfect for our family. Our adult children came with their spouses and kids and stayed and played and played and played. Everyone loved it. My husband and I started a tradition two years ago just so we could have intentional time all together...we pay for the place and the "kids and spouses" provide the meals. Our "children" are spread all over and we only have once a year to all be together. That's not enough for their Dad and me! Life goes too fast and is so busy! This place fit.the.bill.. We had lots of laughs and memories were made. Wish we could do it again here but the price for the future got in the way.

Wonderful place to stay
We had a wonderful weekās stay with perfect weather. The pool was amazing! The weather was warm enough we didnāt even use the pool heater. The house was very clean upon arrival. Lots of room and bathrooms to spread out. The oven knob was broken but that was the only problem we had.
We want to stay here again! This is our 2nd time staying here. The property owners were great to work with.

I stayed at the property with my three adult children, their spouses, and four grandchildren, ages 10, 8, 5, and 8 months. The house was clean, comfortable, and well equipped. The neighborhood was quiet, and close to the beach and downtown. The yard was great and we enjoyed the pool. The basement was filled with games. We had non stop fun, and would highly recommend this property.

The house was perfect for our family of 14 as we were celebrating my in-laws 50th anniversary. There was something for everyone in our family at the house. We had teenagers and small children and we enjoyed the pool, outdoor games, and games in the basement. There was plenty of space and very close to the beach and town of south haven. The house was so clean and had many high end finishes. Highly recommend this house!

We really enjoyed our time here. Great pool, nice little fenced in yard and nice size house. Our biggest negative was how EXTREMELY creaky/noisy the stairs to the downstairs were. Surprising for a newer nice home. This is probably only an issue if you have kids sleeping/napping down there that you want to check in on, like we did. So just a forewarning.

I was looking for a house with several bathrooms because we were staying in Michigan for a family wedding and therefore needed several bathrooms to get ready for the wedding. The bathrooms were beautiful, and the family enjoyed all the amenities. The guests used the pool, played ping-pong, bags, fuzeball, air hockey, and chess.

This was our second year visiting this home and it was just as wonderful as the first year. The house is beautiful and has every accommodation we need. The walk to the beach is just a few minutes and the beach itself is a great spot. The pool and backyard are absolutely amazing! Weāve had so much fun here and look forward to hopefully returning again!

The house and the trip was fantastic! If we go back to South Haven then there is a high percentage we will return and stay at this house again. The house has everything you will need and more! Plus they are very responsive to any question and my family had a ton of questions!. The only complains are minor. Here were the pros and tiny negatives:
Pros:
Great space in the house, we had 10 people there and it never felt crowded
Fantastic inside game room and outside games - ping pong, outside chess table, sand pit / volleyball court, bocce ball, pool with basketball net, board games, fire pit and more
Great kitchen - plenty of room to store food, prepare with everything needed and great table space. They have olive oils, salt, pepper and pretty much any tool needed in a kitchen to make meals
Smart TVs to watch Netflix, prime, Disney or whatever you want to stream
Close to the beach that is a private beach (10 min walk)
Close to downtown area with a bunch of restaurants and shops (short drive)
Bedrooms were nice
Master bedroom was the biggest bedroom where my wife and I stayed and shared with our 2 young sons and it was great for a family - more than enough room
Everything was very clean, and organized in the house
Very large property for the kids to run around in. (weird loft hallway that our kids loved to run up and down)
Safe neighborhood - was comfortable outside walking and felt safe inside
Quiet and private neighborhood
the hosts were fantastic
Pool was fantastic - clean, perfect size and very nice
fire pit was great for smores - had all tools needed
nice back deck for eating and relaxing
shed had toys for pool and wagon for walking to the beach, bikes which we did not use
water filter on sink was nice since the tap water might have been well water
good water heater, never had cold water even with multiple of us showering
Cons
They did have a small ant problem with traps in various rooms. We found ants in the kitchen and various bedrooms
The beds were not super great - the master was ok but others said that they felt like the bed was a blow up mattress feel
The knives in the kitchen were all dull and hard to cut with
The oven and burners were a challenge to use
The grill was janky - the hottest temp it got was 250 degrees so we used it only once
The front door was impossible to lock and unlock - we went through the garage most of the time and then jumped the sensor,
they have frog that lives in the pool which was funny

Amazing place to spend time
The host was very accommodating, the house was amazing, the location was great! We were initially sad that the hot shot basketball game was not in working order but there were so many other activities that it didnāt phase us in the least. Quick walk to the beach and a short (5minute) drive to downtown Southaven. Would certainly go back.

Beautiful house. Awesome yard. This house was perfect for our large family vacation (10 adults / 5 kids - ages 3-10). Enough space for all of us, and plenty of things to do, both inside and out. The bedrooms were clean and the bathrooms were stocked with clean towels.
The Good: Spacious, open common areas. An amazing back yard full of activities for the whole family.
The Not-so-Good: An unannounced visit from the maintenance man. The shower in the common area bathroom was not working at all.
Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay here again - thank you!

My family enjoyed our visit to South Haven so much! If you love to play games, then this home is for you. The home and the grounds are perfect for a family ready to spend some quality time together. We had a fantastic day at the beach, walked around the shops downtown, and picked some delicious blueberries at the farm. We hope you enjoy your stay too!

This property was perfect for our family with a perfect layout for separation when needed but plenty of gathering spaces. The amenities are also top notch with plenty to do to keep you busy rain or shine with great support and interaction with the owners if needed. Top notch location and we would definitely rent again!

We really enjoyed the private beach access. It's a shared private path for the local neighborhood. There were plenty of amenities to keep the whole family occupied. Minor tip for guests: Bring your own toilet paper. The toilet paper there is what you would find at an office park (Scott), but this was not a big issue, particularly given the abundance of amenities and high quality appliances. We were also really impressed with the bathrooms. Every bathroom -- even the hall bathroom had a fantastic shower. We ran into a few issues (e.g. pool not heated, miscommunication with the cleaning company to clean the space), but the owner was responsive and quickly addressed these issues. Overall, this is a fantastic property.

This house checked all the boxes. First, it was clean which is high on my list of priorities. The house has everything you would need and more - with all the amenities of your own home. We were there for my daughter's wedding in SH and this was the perfect place to stay, relax, and gather during the time we were there. There was plenty of room for the ten of us and then some. It was a great place to have people gather and just relax during a busy weekend. The house had more than enough space for our group. Nicely decorated. A few of the beds were a bit hard but other than that, the house was very comfortable. We enjoyed the back yard and wish we would have brought bathing suits as the weather was warmer than predicted. Owners were quickly responsive when we had an issue with a smoked detector and made sure we were able to resolve it. I would highly recommend this home for it's amenities, cleanliness, location, responsive/helpful owners, beauty, space, and overall great place to be. It's great for large families/groups. Thanks for a great stay that added to the wonderful time we had!

This property met all of our expectations and needs. The home is beautiful, in excellent condition, and had plenty of space for our family. The pool was a lifesaver as the weather was cool but the pool was heated. There were so many other games and activities available that we didn't even use all of them. I would highly recommend this property to families who want to have a comfortable place to relax and enjoy each other's company.
