Recent South Haven vacation rental reviews

Home was nice ! My experience with vacasa was less appealing than say vrbo or airbnb. I stay in rentals 6 months out of the year not speaking to the home owner ever is a negative for me! Yoy czn not extend your stay even thought the home is available yoy have to re book re pay 1000$ in fees again company will not work with you at all vrbo Airbnb yoy speak and deal with the owners and it's better for me in my situation renting for longer periods of times home owners on the other cites absolutely love us ! Give us better deals!

This home was super cute, updated furnishings. Beds VERY comfortable! The only issues we had were the power went out in one of the rooms and the breaker box was not accessible to us. So we had to contact Vacasa and no one got back to us until the following day. Also the laundry is only accessible if you go outside the house and the steps don’t get much sun so the moss growth is a little slippery in rain/snow. However it’s possible if you visit in the summer this wouldn’t be a big issue, it’s warm and dry. All in all we would definitely stay again.

If you are anywhere in your 30’s - mid 40’s, this property hits you in the feels! Stepping into the property was like stepping into my grandparents farm house from when I grew up. The property is updated appropriately, like bathrooms, WiFi, TV, etc., but the design and basic features are rustic 40’s - 50’s feel. When reading the reviews I was a bit worried of the “smell” or view. Non-issues. There is a slight musty smell, but ai attribute that to the actual wood that is in the house, not these cheap designer builds. Also, there is an excellent view of the lake through the drive, as well as beach access via the road near by. Don’t be scared to book it, but don’t also expect a brand new remodel.

Where is South Haven, MI?

This port city rests where the Black River meets the vast waters of Lake Michigan. It’s tucked in the southwestern corner of the state, in the heart of Michigan’s wine country, where you’ll find many charming rural towns boasting local color. Saugatuck and Douglas, with their bustling arts and food scenes, are just a 20-minute drive north.

Things to do in South Haven, MI

It may come as no surprise that the abundant water activities are a big draw to our South Haven vacation rentals. There’s something for every interest, from a day adventuring in your kayak rental to strolling along the beach with someone special.

Spend an afternoon exploring the shores of Lake Michigan at North Beach, a park open year-round where you can lounge on the sand and splash through the waves in the summertime. Cooler months mean a more tranquil beach experience and peaceful sunset views.

No matter the time of year, you’ll have views of the beloved South Haven Light. Built in 1903, this lighthouse is a fixture of the community around our South Haven cabins. When the weather is right, you can walk along the pier to admire it up close. During stormy weather, the waves crashing against it are a sight to behold from the shore, and in the winter the frozen lake water leads to incredible ice formations on the lighthouse. No matter the season, a trip to the South Haven Light is a must.

If you just can’t get enough of the lake while visiting your South Haven beach rental, the Michigan Maritime Museum is a must. Not only are there interesting exhibits on South Haven’s history as a port city, but you can hop aboard a number of boat rides, from replicas of 1800s sloop ships to modern day yachts, for a day cruising the seemingly endless waters of Lake Michigan.

Our South Haven vacation rentals offer everything you need to experience this charming city and the surrounding areas of Saugatuck, Douglas, Fennville, and beyond. Browse our homes today and start planning your next trip to beautiful Lake Michigan.
