The property was everything we hoped it would be, including pool, lake views and access, large kitchen and dining area, and perfect bedroom setup for our family. Our host was very responsive to our questions and provided a very well stocked home. We loved our stay and hope to come back next year.
We spent six days at this beautiful home in South Haven Michigan. Except for a couple of rainy days and a small problem with the pool heater (which the host took care of promptly) we had a wonderful time. Any time we had a question or issue she was very punctual responding, we would happily return.
The home, the pool, the lake, and the quietness
were sublime. The view of Lake Michigan in every corner of the house was stunning. It had easy access
to the water by the dock and a wonderful outdoor
shower, making an easy transition from lake to pool.
This spacious beach home with all the amenities one could need is truly a Summer Retreat. Thank you!!
The house is a great house for a family gathering. The bedrooms and baths are laid out well. Itâs clean and extremely well equipped in the kitchen. There are many toys for children. The pool is wonderful, however, if the house next door is occupied there will not be much privacy. The Lake Michigan views are great but the water canât be accessed due to large rocks to prevent erosion. South Haven has a large beach but the restaurant options are limited. There are much better restaurant choices in Saugatuck.
If your goal on your vacation is to relax then this is the home for you. Beautifully maintained, gorgeous backyard and view. Kitchen is well appointed and quality construction provides for quiet rest. Lots of toys and games for he kiddies. As previously mentioned in other reviews, there is not a beach on the property, although beaches are all very close. A private deck overlooking the lake offers great views but no chairs are provided. Please note the pool is only heated to 78 degrees so if you want a warmer pool you will have to ask and pay for the additional heat which we found was worth it since we had young grandchildren. Also, no beach/pool towels or beach chairs are provided. We all decided that this rental is at the top of our list of homes we have stayed at.
Travelled with my family to this house for three nights. In total there was six of us staying here. There was something to keep everyone busy all three days. The pool is amazing and heated so itâs very comfortable to use day or night. The views are gorgeous and the windows allow you to see the lake from every room on the main floor. There is a very nice beach that can be accessed from the house but you do have to climb over rocks to get there. It can be difficult for anyone who has knee issues but five out of six of us were able to climb the rocks with no issues all three days. The only con is the basement bedroom does not have air conditioning so it was very warm. There is a window which would have helped cool the room down but there are no screens. Other than that this place is beautiful. It was one of the best Michigan beach vacations my family had.
This property is unique in this area. It's on the beach front but difficult to get to the beach if you are older and need to navigate all the rocks. The beachfront property has room for 3 houses, two are already built. This house would be in the middle if the other is built.
The sunsets from the house view are spectacular. The downstairs is open architecture with picture windows and doors that open from the Kitchen, dining and living room area to the patio. The patio is large, covered and has many seating arrangements. It also includes a great grill.
The kitchen is equipped with everything you might need, including an amazing microwave in a drawer.
The upstairs contains the bedrooms--some bunk beds for children and a wonderful master bedroom with ensuite bathroom and access to an upstairs patio. It's just perfect for morning coffee and watching the lake.
The house is truly suitable for family vacations, but amazingly comfortable for just two.
The grounds and pool are well-maintained. We were there in October so it was beginning to be cooler. It was quieter than in season, but equally enchanting. I cannot think of one thing that we would have changed.
Before I gush too much, be aware that we are intent returning next year and every year that our host will welcome us. Make you reservations early, because we have told all our friends about this amazing home.
About South Haven, there are plenty of activities including farmer's markets with fresh fruit and veggies. There are many restaurants there and close-by in Saugatuck.
We give this experience, home and host our highest rating.
Three generations of our family had a fantastic stay in this beautiful home on the Lake. The house was clean and comfortable, the views were spectacular, and Ashley was very helpful and easy to work with. Our kids had the best time swimming in the heated pool, running around the spacious lawn, and playing with the abundance of toys in the house.
Note that the private beach is difficult to access. Everyone in our group was able to navigate down to the sand, but only a couple of us could climb the rocks to the water. Our kids had fun playing in the sand, but our best beach time was at the public South Beach. Also, there are neighbors next door who share the private beach and an empty lot for sale nearby.
That said, it was well worth the price and we would happily return to this peaceful retreat on the water.
From the moment you turn into the winding drive, the Lake Michigan view is jaw dropping. The home's decor is luxurious and comfortable. Everything was extremely clean and well kept, both inside and outside. From the linens to the well-outfitted kitchen, we could not have asked for more. The high-end pool was clean and refreshing. Coming from the city, the ultra-quiet nights were refreshing beyond words. If you can stay here, you should. We are a family of five (dad, mom, 17 (birthday on this trip), 14, and 9.
We had an incredible family vacation at this beautiful home. The house is very well appointed with a gourmet kitchen, lovely bedrooms/bathrooms with luxury linens, great gathering spaces including a game room/pool table and spectacular views of the lake from bedrooms and living spaces. The pool was perfect for cooling down at the end of the day after spending time at the local beaches. The owner was very responsive to questions and provided clear pre-arrival information. I would highly recommend this house for families or a group of friends looking for a very special, luxury experience.
This house is one of the best properties we have rented in Michigan. Not only is the property beautiful, complete with a view of Lake Michigan, the owner was incredibly courteous and responsive. The house was appointed and equipped perfectly, so that there were no last minute pickups of basic necessities. And the refrigerator was a good size to accommodate all our food. What a gift! If I ever did have a question, the owner responded politely and immediately. She gave us our privacy but was available whenever we needed her.
The property and the owner are 5 star plus. We plan on many returns to this beautiful home!
