This was a great house at a great value! Location was most important to us and why we chose this house - it is walkable to South Beach, Kids Corner and downtown (I walked all of these with my 6 and 8 year old kids. The younger kids in our group rode in a wagon to the beach and we also drove a few times with no issue finding parking near the church across from the beach entry.
We had more than enough space for four adults and four kids with numerous sleeping options for our group. I liked that there was a small bedroom near the living room where kids could rest alone when they needed downtime.
Despite a previous review, when we arrived all rooms were VERY clean! Kitchen had everything we needed including metal roaster forks for marshmallows at the campfire. I was impressed that the starter supplies (dish washer tabs, washing machine tabs, etc.) lasted our entire 5-day stay. While we brought our own coffee, the starter supply of grounds and kcups would have been enough for the two coffee drinkers in the house too. Extra throws in the living room were nice for the kids to use in the mornings when they were waking up and having cousin TV time.
We consistently entered through the backdoor after returning from the beach, and it was convenient to rinse the kids off in the small shower at that entry! The sandiest kid took his daily full shower here most days as well. The other two bathrooms are beautifully renovated, however, having a 2 and 4 year old with us, it would have been nice to have a bathtub, but we got by.
Communication with the property manager was excellent before and after the stay. When we thought we left a beloved stuffed animal in the house, she reached out to the cleaning crew and communicated with us quickly! I appreciate her availability to us.
Overall this house was easy and worked out great for a wonderful week in beautiful South Haven.
