Great family home - but it is not...
a 5* luxury beach house. It is an older home that could use tlc. they have begun some reno work thruout...the rooms are plenty big and there are lots of them. Gameroom is great, all beds are super comfy and seem new. There are enough small appliances & cookware to throw a huge party. - - every cabinet held a new surprise - but NO WHISK - lol. 3 of the bathrooms have been totally redone. Window a/c's worked as needed. GREAT front patio with loads of chairs, tables & firepit. Yard is all flat which is great for lawn games and the kidos. Really enjoyed the wild turkeys and deer who came to visit multiple times. SUPER HOME for groups....

Great spot for a family vacation
This house was a great spot for a large group. Lots of room to spread out, both inside and out. Comfortable sleeping arrangements, well stocked kitchen, though if you are bringing little ones, there are few plastic cups. Yes, there might be a musty smell at first but it clears up with the AC window units running. Location is very close to Pilgrim Haven beach, but it is VERY ROCKY! Van Buren State Park is about a mile away with nice beaches and city beaches in South Haven are about 10 minutes away, with perfect sandy beaches.

Great Place for about 15 to 20 People.
This Property was a Great Stay for my family and I. It really does have as much space as it shows and MORE. Now, just and FYI for people who are interested in this property, this house is a bit old. There is NO CENTRAL AC. All Window Units. There was also an Odd smell in the house when we first checked in. There Stove my be somewhat of a challenge to work with for some people. You will only be able to use THIER Steel pots and pans and there are only a few and they do not have LARGE Pots and pans which is a problem when you have to feed close to 20 people. The Bedrooms are clean and very spacious. Bathroom are all great. New Washer and older dryer in place. Plenty space for kids to play outside. Patio in includes, gas grill, charcoal grills, first pit and plenty of chairs and tables. Patio even has a Bar Style Table and high stools. There is a small playground behind the property built in to a tree but seemed weak, old and dangerous. We avoided letting the children play on it. Not much to complain about, other than I wish this place had a Direct PATH to the lake behind the property but it doesn't. You need to drive about 1 minute down the road to get to the nearest park to access the Lake/Beach. Also, if you don't really NEED constant Air conditioning and don't mind hunting for the location of this place (kind of hard to find and hidden)... then you should be just fine. Overall, You should get your moneys worth staying here.

Cozy and Secluded. Very Pleasant stay!!
Don't be afraid of the older style home from appearance, the overall experience was great. Plenty of privacy for the duration of the visit. The outdoor patio area was the best part. Tons of space inside the house so that everyone can have their own bed. The only complaint was the wifi, but sometimes there's a tradeoff between that and seclusion so we'll take it. Will definitely be coming back at some point!

Relaxed Family Vacation Spot
Well equipped large home that easily sleeps a very large family. Plenty of beds to go around and great bunk rooms that were fun for the kids. The outdoor space was wonderful to sit and enjoy family. Game room and living room were great hang out spots as well. The kitchen and grills outdoors made cooking easy for a large group. Help is just a phone call away if you run into any snags. On Demand hot water was challenging but workable. Short drive to many attractions.

Not a very nice rental
This rental needs a lot of updates and fixes for it to be rentable again in my honest opinion. The smell is old and moldy and gets worse from there. The pictures listed for the rental really should be updated and more realistic of the house itself. The pictures of the rocky shoal that is part of the listing is not remotely close to walk, especially with young children, however the beach in South Haven which is about 5-7 minutes down the highway is really nice and so is downtown South Haven. The size of the house is great for a big family trying to do an annual getaway but that is where it ends. One shower did not work, there was no water flow and spewed sediment out the faucet. This, of course is before it back filled with sewer feces as well as another toilet and bathtub the last evening there. The house is NOT clean and am pretty sure the floor has not been mopped in sometime. Under all the beds and couches it is littered with dead bugs, dust and other things that have been there for some time as well. The ceilings have multiple signs of water damage with questionable black mold in one of the hallways. The outside looks like it is a hay field that was just cut. Every fan in the house is filthy as well as the air conditioners. We made the best of it for the time being as we were not going to just leave and drive home 3.5 hours as children tend to ignore some of the things adults will pay attention to. Hopefully this review will help get the homeowners or property manager to fix the well or water main as well as replace the sewer main before renting again. This house is old and has not been properly maintained to be a rental property. This house is likely from the 70’s which is fine but it needs a LOT of work.

Large property close to lake
We had a great time with our family group and enjoyed the proximity to South Haven. The space was big enough to be comfortable for a large group. Other reviews about water pressure/ water temperature issues are accurate. The large patio with plenty of seating gave us plenty of room to spend quality time together.
