Michigan Sandcastle

The cottage is well maintained, clean and inviting. The private beach on Lake Michigan is beautiful with a nice walk through a forest to reach it. We really enjoyed walking along the lakeshore on the private beach and easy access to South Haven.

Great week!

We really enjoyed our week. The cottage was very cute and the beds were super comfortable! Saw a lot of deer near the property which was a highlight. If you plan to wash clothes, being on well water, we decided not to wash much.

Wonderful place for a family beach trip!

The house was very clean, adorable, and the kitchen was very well outfitted. The location is excellent- short drive to town and blueberry picking, and just a mile from the beach at Van Buren State Park. We could not have been happier with our stay here!

Love the Sandcastle!

This was our second year staying at this property, and it was even better than the first year! Well stocked kitchen, clean, and just so cute! Great proximity to Pilgrims Haven beach and Van Buren state park, and close to blueberry picking too. I would absolutely recommend for families with kids. Thanks, Alison, for another wonderful stay at the Sandcastle!

Great!

This was a lovely place to stay in and almost anything you needed was right there waiting for you except Lake Michigan. However using the car to go to South Beach worked fine and we really enjoyed ourselves. With this sand castle property, you really get your money's worth.

We were very welcomed by the owner that showed us around and gave some tips. We had a wood fire already prepared for us. En enjoy the nigh besides it! The house was very clean and comfortable. Everything worked properly. We recommend to everyone! Bruno and Renata

Secluded location with many beautiful trees. Near the state park and bike trails.

Spent a week there over the Fourth of July with my family and two young granddaughters. The house was immaculate and well equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen. Although the property is not on the lake--we went to nearby Pilgrims Nature Center beach and to South Beach in South Haven. Enjoyed the fire pit, grilling in the backyard, and the deck. The owner Allison was great and provided many ideas of things to do--including blue berry picking which was right down the road from the house! Did not get to try the bike trails but will come back some time to do so.

Disappointing

this property was very disappointing it has the worst foul-smelling water. We could not shower without gagging, wash our hands, or wash our hair or dishes. This should be mentioned in the description of the property, We didn't like the location it is a scary area. There was no way to reach the beach by walking. Also, the lack of window coverings was concerning especially in the bathroom and front living area. Also the direction of the property is very hard to find. The best beach to go to is South Beach, Van Buren is mucky and the sand seems oily. Do not recommend

Great lcation - CLEAN rental

The pictures are outdated and don't show the beauty of everything they have done with the place!! Super clean!! Beds are super comfy!! Updated bathrooms and kitchen! They provided plenty of water in large dispenser for all of our drinking and cooking needs. The water did have a "well water" smell (it really wasn't that bad) and there was rust marks in tub, sink, etc, but if you grew up on well water - you know this is normal and safe. Location was like a camp ground setting in the front - lots of trees, shade, and porch with sunshine in the back along with a fire pit. A few other houses around - but saw very few people. It's a 2 minute drive to the VanBuren State campground and beach which has nice sand, beautiful water, and nice bathrooms. A 10 minute drive to South Haven - it was nice to enjoy the South Haven events and beaches, but have a quite place to go in the evenings. Rock beach is right around the corner opposite direction from the state park and we highly recommend visiting if looking for beach glass and cool rocks. There is beach access at this location, but it isn't easy to get too - big dunes there and back, just plan on driving or biking to the state park. Highly recommend this location.

Hidden gem!

Omg, how I love this little cottage! But it’s not so little, it’s roomy, open and big! And...it’s nestled in this little secret neighborhood that looks intimidating at first, then you realize how perfect it is! Alison and Brian were extremely responsive, helpful and patient. The private beach is so awesome if you want a quick beach jaunt up a dune. It’s also literally 5 minutes from everything else. We spent a lot of time at South beach and I’m not kidding, it was a 5 minute drive. Important life event: my 8 yo daughter and I made our first fire in the fire pit. The fact all that was there for us made it so special. We really only used one bedroom, but it was nice that we could have used all three. Having a washer and dryer was soooo awesome! Admittedly the rusty smell of the water was not great, but it made us feel like we were truly on vacation! I must get back to Alison and Brian. Sooooo awesome from the word go! Responded immediately to my incessant questions and offered so much help and suggestions. But, best of all, left us alone to enjoy our vacation. Perfect balance of helpful and hands off. I just asked my daughter tonight about vacation next year. Did she want to stay closer to South beach? Her response sums it up, “mommy I LOVED our cottage! Why couldn’t we stay there again?” Yep, we will be returning! Thanks Alison and Brian! ❤️👍❣️

Cute on the inside, not the best neighborhood

It wasn’t quite what we were expecting, with some trailer homes in the neighborhood. However, the inside was cute. The water really smelled and was undrinkable and not great to shower in. They provided plenty of drinking water though and we used it for cooking too. The floor was very dirty when we got there but I texted the owners and they brought all kinds of supplies for us to keep it clean. Communication was prompt and friendly. The area is wooded and there was a back porch and fire pit but we were swarmed with mosquitoes if we went outside so we didn’t. You can get to the beach over a big sand dune if you walk a bit. I LOVED the beach, as it was always empty, but there were TONS of mosquitoes on the hike there. It wasn’t a far drive to south Haven, but we didn’t get to have the feel of the town. I will say, it was MUCH cheaper than anywhere in town. Important to know is that the washing machine was awful. It left rust stains on our towels and some of our clothes. That was a major bummer, as laundry is crucial with 4 kids, and the washer and drier were a selling point for us. Not sure we would come back, mainly because of the neighborhood, water and washer/drier.

Enjoyed it- especially the location!

We enjoyed our stay. The house had everything we needed. We have to admit that the smell of the water was off-putting, but there was plenty of water for drinking and cooking. The best part is the location! We loved being able to walk down the road, over the dune and to a beach that had very few people. Overall it was a great stay!

Spacious, but had some issues

The rental is spacious and had plenty of room for our family. It is close to the lake, but access to it is a short but strenuous hike over a sand dune. The views were beautiful! We had some problems beginning at check-in. The front door was unlocked when we arrived, which was not stated in the check-in instructions. There were several things in the instructions that were outdated, including WiFi passwords, who to contact, instructions about a dehumidifier that was not there, and some of the photos. The first thing I noticed is that none of the beds had bedspreads and a few of the beds had a thin blanket. The rest just had sheets. We found extra blankets in a wardrobe, but the first night the temperature was in the 30s and the wind knocked the power out for a few hours. Needless to say, it was pretty chilly. The other major problem at check in was that the master bathroom had not been cleaned. I cleaned the necessary areas before going to bed so we could use it, but that’s not how I wanted to spend the first night of my vacation. We contacted the owners, and they did what they could to make it better, including bringing more blankets, though still not bedspreads, which I find strange to leave a bed for guests with only sheets (in any climate). I do appreciate the owners trying to make things right. I also noticed other areas that were not very clean, including the fridge, the floors (dust bunnies), cobwebs on the ceiling and in corners, a bar of soap left with a hair stuck to it, and surfaces that had a lot of decor on them that had not been properly wiped down. As mentioned in other reviews, the water is well water that smells and makes the toilet look used all the time. I had planned to do laundry while we were there, having checked to make sure there was a washer and dryer, but there was a hand written note taped to the washer warning against washing clothes as it could end up ruining them. South Haven is an expensive area to stay in, and I knew we weren’t staying in the fanciest place, but I did expect it to be clean and well supplied, and unfortunately it just didn’t quite meet the mark.

Great quiet family stay!

We stayed over Labor Day weekend and were hoping to have a quiet relaxing time with family. It was the perfect mid point for us to meet and it was so peaceful. The dunes were the perfect challenge (it is quite the hike) and wore the kids out for bed. South Haven is a cute little town with plenty to do and an awesome gluten free bakery (they do have gluten in the facility but we had no issues with cross contamination) which was quite a treat for the two celiacs in our family!

Great Place but not a "Lake House"

The Michigan Sandcastle was a nicely furnished, roomy 3 bedroom with space for 10 to sleep comfortably. Pretty much everything we needed was there. South Haven and to the Van Buren State Park are easily accessible via quick drives for alternative beaches. Plenty of wooded shade and a nice firepit round out the property. There is access to Lake Michigan via several trails through and over the sand dunes. On the negative side, the water truly stinks and you can smell it just standing near the bathroom. The homeowners provide filtered water for drinking and cooking and it is truly needed. Also, the walks to the beach are understated in the property description. They are challenging hikes up and over sand dunes with considerably steep inclines.

Qui vous reçoit ?

Vous êtes reçu par Alison & Brian

I am the mother of 4 and a small business owner in the Chicago area. I was born and raised in the western suburbs of Chicago.

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?

We fell in love with the soothing beauty of Lake Michigan, the friendly peace and quiet of the neighborhood, the breathtaking sunsets and uncrowded beaches near the house. The town of South Haven is just minutes away, with all of its shops, restaurants and amenities. My family has been camping at Van Buren State Park since I was a little girl. So this house is a touchstone for all of those wonderful family memories as well as our corner of the world to make memories like those with my own children.

Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?

Short walk to secluded beaches, but still reasonably priced.
Quiet, friendly, verdant neighborhood, but just minutes from the conveniences, amenities and events of South Haven.
A bike ride from Van Buren State Park, with its public beach and campground.
