If you're looking for a place that is right by the beach, close to town and still nice and quiet...this is it! And I know personally that your hosts are awesome! We stayed there in the winter of 2022 and it was perfect for us!.

Lisa made my stay very relaxing. Super helpful with an earlier check in as well as so many recommendations on things to do. She made my dog feel just as welcome with food bowls and a bed. Location was quiet and beautiful. Loved the retro look to the place. Would definitely book again!

This was a great find, and even better that we got to bring our dog. Lisa was extremely responsive and had everything we could have needed for our stay! The beach is walking distance and “down town” is only a few minute drive. Non-member dog parks are only 20 minutes away from the house, and worth the drive as well. We will definitely want to stay here again when we visit South Haven.

Lisa was a wonderful host. She was so kind in regards to allowing early check in and gave helpful, clear instructions in regards to getting into the house. The place was very clean and kitchen was well equipped with anything you may need. It was so nice that they provided bowls for our dog and clean up supplies. You really couldn’t beat the location. A quick walk to the beach or to dinner. I would definitely stay here again.

Lisa’s place was fantastic, and she was a wonderful host. The house was adorable and nice and clean. It was the perfect space for a quick weekend away. We were looking for a dog-friendly Air BnB and Lisa was extremely welcoming to our pup. The neighborhood was lovely and a short walk to the beach, and the local restaurants and shops were also quite lovely. I highly recommend this stay!

Exceptionally clean, super-cute appliances, loaded kitchen (they thought of everything), dog friendly, it was so close to the beach that we walked there every sunset, very safe, friendly residents, beautiful local architecture, really great location!
We could tell immediately that this property was well managed & that someone really cared about the place. South Haven is a great place & this adorable little bungalow is in the heart of it all!
Thanks to our wonderful host & their hardworking crew, who obviously love what they do!

We could not have been happier or more impressed with our stay. Not only were the owners responsive, but you could tell that they truly cared about our stay and experience. We brought our 3 dogs for this vacation and it was such a relief knowing they were safe but also very welcomed in the cottage. As most dog owners know, it’s difficult to find a place where your pets are welcomed and embraced, but there was no worries here! When we first arrived, the cleanliness was unmatched and there were amenities galore. We had everything we needed and more. The beds are comfortable, AC was functioning well, and the amount of beach toys were wonderful! All in all, if/when we ever return to South Haven, we already know where we’ll be staying. We cannot recommend enough!

Great location and thoughtfully designed place! The powerstrips in every room, the Keurig station with coffee, tea, and hot chocolate, and the well equipped kitchen were top notch. And you can’t beat the location ~ 1 block from a public beach!

Great stay at Lisa’s place. It was perfect for my husband and I plus our pup. Lisa had so many recommendations in South Haven and a short drive away. The kitchen was fully stocked! So many things for a long stay. Place was very clean and decorative. Stocked with some games and beach toys as well..

Week of the 4th of July made better! My family and I had a great stay at this location! It was 4 minutes' walk to the beach, and 10 minutes' walk to downtown. The place was clean and the perfect size that we needed. Highly recommend this place to anyone!!

The cottages were adorable. We rented both with 3 adults and 5 kids - it was perfect. Beach was a block away so very walkable as was the town. Thanks Lisa - we had a great time!

Lisa made sure absolutely everything was there. I forgot body wash but she had it in the bathroom. lovely little touches like plenty of keurig pods and teas. Even a dog dish for the dog. I loved how it was decorated in the kitchen. you can tell she takes her time to keep it nice. We had a blast!

Our family loved the cottage and found the location perfect for walking to the beach, local shops, and restaurants. The patio space was great for eating outdoors and playing games in the evening. It was a charming stay that we highly recommend. We look forward to our next visit!

This cottage was perfect for our little family, it has literally everything you need to entertain your kids and a super well stocked kitchen. Location was great, and we were comfortable and happy! They clearly put a lot of time thinking about guests when this was put together!
Audrey

Our family had a wonderful stay here! We were able to walk to the beach and to town, which was important to us. The kitchen had everything we needed, plenty of linens/towels, comfortable beds, beach toys, grill and supplies, etc. The candy jar was a hit! The neighborhood is peaceful, but I also didn’t feel out of place with a boisterous toddler. :) Lisa was very responsive and offered plenty of great suggestions! We would definitely book here again if available when we come back! We love South Haven!

This is a little gem in the heart of North Beach. We walked every day to delis and restaurants and to the beaches nearby. Our dogs loved it, as well. The bed was very comfortable and it is filled with all the amenities you could want or need. We absolutely loved our stay there and will be back.
