Red's Retreat is a perfect summer get away. Our group of 4 adults and 5 kids fit perfectly. The house is always spotless (we have rented 2 summers in a row), has everything you need, close to beach, close to town---we love it!
Things that families with little kids might appreciate are: The outside shower with hot and cold water, umbrella stroller for trips into town, pack and play, high chair, stool in the bathroom so the kids can reach the sink, outdoor playset, two wagons for trips to the beach (yes, you will need 2!), beach toys, boogie boards provided, kid plates, cups, and bowls, board games, TONS of movies, Comcast cable with on demand, fun chairs in the kids room, marshmallow sticks provided---there's probably more that I am forgetting. It is well appointed!
Things the adults will appreciate: Kitchen is stocked from top to bottom---every kitchen item is there!, beds are comfy, plenty of pillows, washer and dryer work awesome, Bose radio in the main room that has a plug to hook up to your phone/ipad, fast wi fi, good tv in main room, Weber grill, always fast communication with Gail, walk to the beach, close to town.
We are beach people, so that is our main goal when we come to South Haven. We like to book in August, so we know the weather will be hot. We had to book in July this year and the weather was crummy, but we made the most of it anyway. We enjoyed the fireworks from our beach, attended the Art Festival in town, 4th of July parade, Farmer's Market (its fabulous), grown men traveled up north to ride ATV's. There is plenty around to keep the family busy!
I would recommend this property in a heartbeat. The trick is booking early enough to secure it :) Thank you Gail for sharing your home with us!
