This beautiful home is in the perfect location. The proximity to town and the beach cannot be beat. The I indoor and outdoor living spaces are well thought out!
This property & host once again delivered a great vacation for our family
Love the newer indoor & outdoor amenities. Lots of consideration given to provide conveniences for family travel.
Our stay was geared to give all ages in our family comfort, safety & relaxation. Canât wait for our next visit!
This is our second time at this property, after a couple of years. There were improvements made to the yard which were very nice, it was nice before. Proximity to beach and town are great so we walked everywhere. Would definitely plan to stay at this location again.
Shady Pines is even more beautiful than the pictures appear. The home is very spacious with all the amenities of home. We loved relaxing by the outdoor fire pit and hammock surrounded by the beautiful trees and garden. The home is located in a lovely neighborhood and just a short walk to both town and swimming at the beach. We loved our stay at Shady Pines and highly recommend it!
The home was in a beautiful neighborhood only blocks from Kids Korner and South Beach. It was clean, nicely furnished and even had beach chairs, bikes and kayaks. The lower level bed and bath offers privacy from the rest of the house. Great for multiple generations sharing the space. Communication with the owner was timely and clear. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and hope to return.
I liked the fact that out daughterâs family could stay upstairs with bath and my husband and I could be downstairs with our own bedroom and bath. We could sleep in when kids get up early. Bedding was comfortable. If you have little kids, bring baby gates for stairs.
My husband and I (along with our three kiddos ages 5, 3, and 1), absolutely loved our stay at Shady Pines! The neighborhood was beautiful, quiet, and in perfect proximity to everything we needed/wanted. Walking to the beach and Kidsâ Corner was super easy, even with little ones. The pictures of the house really donât do it justice! We appreciated the extra linens, the cabinet of games, and firewood to enjoy an evening by the patio fire pit. We would enjoy staying here again when we return to South Haven in the future!
This house suited us well. We could easily walk to the beach and to town with the kids. The furnished wagon & beach toys were helpful. The back yard was perfect for shaded play and relaxing. The sâmores at the fire pit were a hit with the kids. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen had all we needed to prepare most of our meals âat homeâ. B/c the inside dining space is somewhat limited our 6 ate most of our meals at the table on the lovely deck.
This is a property we would enjoy returning to.
The house was very clean. Interesting floor plan - when you enter, there are two steps down to the laundry area and master bedroom and bathroom. There is a stairway up to the main living area, which has an open family room to the kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The kitchen is equipped with utensils and spices to prepare a meal. There is a large TV in the family room that gets all the cable channels. The television in the master bedroom is hooked up to Apple TV. You cannot watch live tv without paying, but you can watch archived shows.
The beach is 4 blocks away. There is a lookout area and nice stairs to the beach. The beach is white sand and no rocks or seaweed. My sons played in the lake for hours every day. The town is also 4 blocks away with cute shops and restaurants. My youngest son brought his rollerblades and used them often.
It was a very relaxing trip. I enjoyed going for walks and looking at all the different homes. All the homes are custom; no two are alike. There are a lot of rental properties in the area, but every day was quiet and peaceful. There weren't any college kids partying; lots of families with children.
My full deposit was returned the day after checking out.
The deck area in the back needs to be re-stained and the plants are overgrown, but that's not a big deal.
Our family loved this home. Walking distance to beach and restaurants which is perfect with little kids. Booked for next year before this trip was even finished.
Enjoyed this rental immensely. The 13 stairs getting to main level were a surprise, but we adapted. Grandpa has Parkinsonâs so had we known about those stairs, we wouldnât have reserved. But rest assured, if youâre hale and hearty, the place has everything one could want and then some! Owner great!
We loved the location with a 5-minute walk into town and the beach. The master suite on the first floor is beautiful, and the shower is one of the best Iâve ever used.
Our second visit to this destination didnât fail to deliver a much needed change of pace! The place brings charm, relaxation & many conveniences. Enjoyed a fire on the the new patio - gorgeous! Look forward to a return trip
My family had such a nice time at this property! Beautiful interior, far better than the pictures! Really spacious house with lot of charm and character! Close to downtown and the Beach, within walking distance of both. Very quiet neighborhood, wooded lot with nice privacy. House is full of extra amenities, everything you'd need for your stay, and the extra gift with wine, sunscreen and other goodies was such a nice suprise! We'd happily stay here again!
We stayed here as a last minute vacation before our oldest started kindergarten, and it did not disappoint! The house was large and spacious with tons of sleeping options (which is helpful when your two kids don't want to sleep alone in an unfamiliar placeđ). The decor was lovely and modern with all the amenities we could have wanted (Disney+, Netflix, a beach wagon, fire pit, kayaks, extra blankets and sheets). We had a bit of trouble at one point with checking in (late at night) and the owner was quick to respond to us and our issue was very promptly fixed. We walked everywhere: beach, downtown and playground. Would definitely stay here again â€ïž
We have rented in South Haven every summer for decades. This, by far, was the most spacious home! It was a little further from the beach than we would normally book, but still within walking distance and worth the extra block or two. There were bikes available, a fire pit, all kinds of "extras" in the garage. The best part was that the owners welcomed us with a very thoughtful bottle of local wine, coffee, and travel sunscreen/bug spray all in a cute cotton travel bag. You had all the conveniences of home with modern appliances in a lovely decorated vacation house. There are 2 levels and the main floor was up a flight of stairs, but this was not a problem for our family. The first floor had a master bedroom/bath and washer/dryer. The was a difference in temperature between the two floors, but the cooler temperature downstairs was welcomed in the summer weeks. We will definitely try to return next year!
