We truly enjoyed staying at Shady Nook in South Haven! We have been to South Haven many times before and have stayed at another local lodging place. We have always wanted to do a rental house and we are very happy with our stay at Shady Nook. The listing matched the property and the check-in process was easy and communication was great from the property manager. Close to the beach, enjoyed our nightly walks and the neighborhood. Can't wait to come back and stay again! ##### Jillian S. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tony G.

Aug 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Location & communication was great. House was a good size for our 4\. Wish there was a small tv in the master bedroom. South Haven gets pretty quiet around 9:30pm which put us in for the night. Everything that was needed was at the property although outdated a bit. A few cabinet doors were stuck shut but with some effort was able to open. The purifiers need to be running the whole time and there were a few ants on the counters, but all small issues. ##### Erica W. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lindsay L.

I couldn't believe I found this perfectly located home that allowed our sweet dog to join us. Excellent spot, easy walk to beach and town. And because I also had my 2.5 yr old granddaughter with me, the playground nearby was perfect! We had the very best stay here, and would book again without hesitation! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Lobelia S. Jun 22, 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Shady nook south haven The South Haven is beautiful. However, the value of stay and home was way overpriced! The property was clean but but pictures way over-exaggerated. Overall last time i will get fooled by Vibro. ##### Lobelia S. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrew N. Jul 26, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice house and location Hello, we stayed here in July 2024\. Starting our visit was a little rough. The cleaners had forgotten to vacuum which was very clear by the dog hair on the carpet. Also, my kids found some dog feces and/or throw up in the second bedroom. I put all of this on the cleaners. I quickly vacuumed before we moved our stuff inside. Also, cleaned up the mess in the second bedroom. Other than these initial issues the house was very nice. We would stay here again even with the initial issues as they were easily fixed. The location is great and the street is quiet. ##### Andrew N. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Joan D. Aug 4, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Location, listing accuracy #### South Beach Rental in South Haven The property was dated and both kitchen and bathroom are in need of updating. There were cabinets in the kitchen that we couldn't get opened because they were stuck. The kitchen was well stocked, almost too much because there was no room to store food in any of the cabinets, so we had to have everything out on the counters. I was also disappointed that there was not an ice maker in the refrigerator. The backyard was large and had a nice deck with furniture that was good for eating outdoors. We had a 3 and and 8 year old with us, so the walk to the beach was a little farther than we would have liked. Downtown was even farther so we ended up driving most of the time. Kids Corner playground was very nice and the kids enjoyed that a lot. Overall it was sufficient for two adults and two children to stay there but it would be tight for anyone else. ##### Joan D.
