Jul 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family South Haven Stay We enjoyed our 3 night stay at this beautiful home. It was clean, inviting, and comfortable. We had everything we needed. The location was amazing. We could walk downtown and to the beach. Our only suggestion is to replace the mattresses in both bedrooms upstairs. They were not that comfortable. Sagged to the middle. We would highly recommend this home and would love to return. Thank you. ##### Sandy V. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Traci B. Jul 18, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful House was clean, new, and perfect for our family. There were more "extras" such as camping chairs, boogie boards, plastic baby pool, chalk, etc. that was a great unexpected addition. Only suggestion would be to add dressers to the upstairs bedrooms. We made due with the tables and plenty of space provided, but actual dressers would have been helpful. The house was a great location to drive to downtown in 2 minutes and the beach in less than 5\. Close enough to walk to both places as well. Would recommend and would stay here again. Thank you! ##### Traci B.

This home was perfect for my party of six. There is plenty of room indoors to gather, outdoors offers a large porch or fenced in back yard. Close to town and beach. Staying in a newer home means comfy, clean, updated, living spaces. Definitely will do a repeat of this rental. Great customer service. ##### Nancy This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Jan 11, 2022 #### Our stay exceeded expectations.
