We had a great stay. Loved having a park with beach access right across the street. The owner always responded to questions and was on the property several times. We loved it so much we want to go back next year!
Perfect location just across from the lake and a beautiful pool on the property
We loved the location right across the street from the lake and the pool and clubhouse were amazing. The cottage was very small and quaint if we didn't bring our dog it would have been better because we couldn't leave her alone we spent more time in the cottage than expected otherwise it would have been fine
Our stay was wonderful! The property was clean and well cared for. The host was outstanding. She went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. She was a great communicator every step of the way.
We had a wonderful stay (grandparents, children and grandchildren) in the two small cottages, both of which are well equipped. The pool was wonderfully warm. There are lots of bikes, trikes and other small vehicles for children. We greatly enjoyed the surprise treats - fresh flowers, wine, cheese and biscuits, and chocolates. All in all, a great stay!
Loved the fact that we had a view of the lake from the dining table and front deck. The house was clean and had what we needed for our stay. Easy checkin and easy communication with Marta. Appreciated the bikes and other extras that made this stay unique.
Marta was amazing and easy to work with. Not only was the location top notch but the facilities and amenities were over the top and if I could give a 10 star, I would. Thank you for an amazing stay. I will definitely be back
Marta and her staff were all excellent and the property was well appointed and just as described. We look forward to exploring the rest of her properties. Thank you for a great end of summer visit.
The location and amenities are ideal. We stayed with our 22 month old and family for a long weekend. Marta had taken care to put out many toys and bikes for our daughter to enjoy. From beach towels and pool toys to a little toy rollercoaster, our daughter was in heaven! Our pack n play fit comfortable in the bedroom. Can't say enough good things about this rental. This was our second time staying, and we will be back!
This property is located in the most ideal location with a park that leads down to the beach right across the street. After the beach return to a wonderfully heated pool that is easily accessible for the elderly and had many games for the younger crowd. In addition the host had put out a wonderful welcome basket with wine, cheese and chocolate which was a real treat. The interior is impeccably clean and has a pool table and foosball game. The kitchen and bathrooms have all the amenities anyone would need. Overall a very relaxing and enjoyable stay! Thank You!!
I travelled with my older teen and young adult kids and it was a perfect home away from home. They loved the billiard table, fooseball table. swimming pool and table tennis. The beach was so close - and having chairs and a wagon to use made the beach days a no fuss day. The walk to town was easy; barely needed my car once we arrived. Hope to be back to the same property each year. The hose was beyond helpful and easy to work with.
Martha was the hostess with the mostest. Everything we could possible think of Martha had for us. We are from France, so it was such a kind thoughtful treat to have cheese & wine awaiting us. The location was PERFECT! My family & I took a 5 minute bikeride into downtown. There is a nearby locsl grocery store within a 5 minute walk. We walked 2 minutes to the beach to swim & watched a gorgeous sunset! We all enjoyed the heated pool and the countless hours of ping-pong. The rooftop above the pool house was perfect for sunbathing & beautiful views of Lake Michigan! The spiral staircase was really cool.
My family & I have stayed at countless VRBO over the years. And this place by far is our top two picks. Outstanding job Martha! We will definitely be back with family & friends.
This property sets very high expectations... then meets them! Communication and availability is A+. No, I don't mean above average. I mean phenomenal, gold standard stuff. Attentiveness, welcoming, and privacy all on the nose for what we look for and appreciate.
The house was exactly as advertised. Soft sheets, clean couches, fresh air... the cleanliness and amenities left nothing standing in the way of comfort and vacation. When a spouse's biggest complaint about a trip is wanting a couple fewer steps between the kitchen and the dining table, you know it was a good trip. In hindsight, we should have unpacked better and used the laundry room (especially the dryer) a bit more.
We appreciated that the place was crawler-friendly (sorry, we couldn't remember where that decorative pitcher was originally!), with tons of thoughtfulness for kids - bikes, toys, a stool, and more were ready for action. So cool.
For people wanting a pool and a beach, I don't think that there's a better location in South Haven. We feel very fortunate that the cottage that best fit our needs was available. This listing stands out and was worth it. Thanks, Marta!
First VRBO experience and it went well above our expectations!
Clean, easy to park and swim, easy access to town and beach.
Beautiful, private cottage with tons of amenities.
We had a wonderful & relaxing stay on this property. Everything was quiet, CLEAN, and comfortable. Marta was very helpful and responsive. The location was close to everything especially the beach right across the street. Beautiful sunsets.
This is one of the best properties in South Haven, MI. From the front porch it looks out to a small public park with a beautiful view of Lake Michigan beyond. You can see the sun set on the lake from this porch. Also the property has a very large pool and a game room. The host is very attentive to the needs of renters and provided us with wonderful cheese, crackers and a wonderful bottle of white wine. And also some dessert chocolates. Also bikes are provided so that you can explore the beautiful town of South Haven, out to the lighthouse or along North Shore Beach. We will definitely return!
We had a great experience. Marta provided everything you could possibly need. The cottage was clean. The pool and pool area were awesome. She responded so quickly. She met us at the property when we arrived. The location is perfect. A 2 minute walk to the beach and a 10 minute walk to downtown. If you have the opportunity to stay at her property, definitely do. The property is private, yet you are still in the middle of everything. We will definitely stay here again in the future!
Our stay here has been amazing! My wife and I brought our 7 month old son for his first vacation (along with his grandma and grandpa) and it was the perfect getaway. Marta truly was the best host- responsive and attentive, going above and beyond to make us comfortable. She had every necessity for a beach vacation so we didn’t have to bring them ourselves (towels, chairs, floats etc...). We can’t wait to come back again and rent the larger house with a bigger group!
excellent place to stay. Marta went out of her way to make sure that we were well taken care of.
The weather was not so good, but we were able to play pool ping-pong. Thanks to Marta going out and getting a heater for the pool house. Loved how convenient and wonderful the fireplace was and just you wait when you arrive you receive this wonderful basket from farmhouse, deli, delicious, salted caramels avocado artichoke dip, bagel chips, wine and wonderful cheeses how very thoughtful the beds are super super comfortable with wonderful linens. The towels are big and fluffy.
Thank you Marta for such a wonderful experience for me and my girls.
