My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was very clean and equipped with everything we needed. Brigette was very nice and made sure we were comfortable. The location is perfect since it is only a short walk to the beach. We will be sure to reserve this cottage again when we go back to South Haven! ##### LaTeesa J.

Brigitte’s place was very nice and clean with great outdoor space for yard games and a camp fire! It was also an easy walk to the beach although the one closest by was very tiny. We had better luck driving a short distance to the slightly larger public beaches as we were cognizant of social distancing. Overall we loved the place and location and would stay again! ##### Liz P. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica M. Jul 12, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### This place was perfect for 2 couples! They provide everything you could possibly need! Brigitte was an excellent communicator and the home is very nice, clean, and excellent location. It couldn’t have been more perfect. The closest beach is very small but there are 2 other small beaches within walking distance. Just get there early if you want a space! Also other large beaches close by! Very close to town. I can’t say enough good things about this place! ##### Jessica M. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren R. Jul 18, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Super cute, clean, convenient cottage! My family and I had a wonderful time during our stay at this cottage. It's quiet street location just a short bike ride away from several beaches was perfect. Very walking friendly as well. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking necessities and gas grill was an added bonus. Use of the on-site beach chairs and wagons was super helpful too. Can't wait to return again, and for even longer! Thanks!! ##### Lauren R. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jay N.
