We were staying for a girls weekend in South Haven but wanted to stay close to the beach. Dianna had everything we needed for a great stay. She was very communicative when we had questions and was so thoughtful! My personal favorite feature was the screened in porch, perfect spot for your morning coffee. Whether you are going on a girls trip or family vacation, this is the place! We cannot wait to come back. P.S. if you are NEEDING cell service and have AT&T or Verizon, just plan ahead and use the WiFi. It was refreshing not to have service 24/7, but again, there is WiFi!! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dd77f878-9e17-46af-b1a7-2bcf3df8ade6-1752422849605.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c6d77a53-608e-489d-9987-5b5cc62d70ea-1752422840685.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Stewart Emma S.

We really enjoyed staying at this property and being able to walk across the street to the beach! This house is very clean and comfortable and perfect for a family with kids…ours enjoyed the DVD player in the bedroom. The whirlpool tub, water cooler, beach chairs, towels and toys were nice extras. Kitchen is well stocked. The owner is prompt in responding to messages and was very accommodating when we had to make a change to our reservation. A great place to stay! ##### Amy K.

This was our first year staying at the Blue Shutter beach house. We had 6 adults and one child. If you’re looking for a high end rental, this is not for you. If you’re looking for a cozy beach house, this one is great. The house is stocked with all of the kitchenware you need for meals. They provide enough toiletries, paper dilly, etc for a day or two. On site laundry is a plus. Plenty of board games for rainy days. The beach access right across the street at Hagar park is so nice. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch for coffee in the mornings and to escape the bugs in the evening. The owner was very accommodating in a few requests we had and made us feel welcomed. Overall, it was a great place to spend time with family and we would definitely rent again! ##### Jessica W.

The water smelled like rotten eggs. and the stairs were scary. The owner kept telling me to go 2 miles down the road to buy the products that should have been there already. I would never stay there again. ##### Rebecca C. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen L. 25 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A great little home! This house was perfect for our "girls' weekend" getaway. The location is right on a state road, so there's a little traffic, but not too much; it was easy to walk across to the park and beach, which are lovely. Comfy beds, LOADS of linens and towels, updated baths, and nice touches (personalized welcome sign, games for the kids, and she even left pumpkins and carving/painting supplies for our October stay! My granddaughters LOVED that!) There's no a/c or central heat, but the provided space heaters in the bedrooms kept it very comfortable, as did the baseboard heat downstairs. While the weather was too chilly for us to spend much time on the screened porch, I imagine that's a great place to hang out in warmer weather! Communication, check-in & out, supplies, cleanliness, charm, and comfort were all five star! And the location makes it SO easy to get to the nearby towns (We hit St. Joseph and South Haven, both charming and fun). Thanks for a lovely place to spend our Fall Break... ...and the blue shutters are beautiful! They make it so easy to find! :) ##### Karen L.

There is a nice small beach right across the road from the property. However, the stairs down to the beach are pretty steep so the trip up was rough. But great for not having to commit to staying all day at the beach. The highway that runs next to the property is very busy and there was some road noise. The home has window units but no central air. The house stayed nice and cool though. The water does have a sulfur smell, but the owner provided a water dispenser for drinking. We loved all the board games, kitchen supplies, and beach stuff (chairs, noodles, etc.). It made it more like home. The owner was very responsive and kind. Would recommend! ##### Jenny H.

The house was perfect for our group with plenty of beds, bathrooms, and space for 5 adults and two kids. I know the water was a concern for several past renters, but for anyone who is familiar with well water, the house is perfectly normal and the addition of a jug water dispenser in the kitchen is a major plus. Diana, the owner is really easy to work with and perfectly reasonable in her requests/house rules. ##### Ariel A.

The Kitchen is nice size with everything you need to prepare food and cook. It was nice having an outside grill as well.Kyger park was nice for the kids and shaded, The Beach was perfect and it was not crowded , There were dogs but for the most part the owners were respectiful and picked up after them. The only down fall was the 90 plus stairsteps down to the beach after the park area. ##### Pamela B.

Beds were very comfortable and house is well equipped. This is located on a rural highway which is kind of noisy when you are sitting on the deck, but it’s not noticeable inside the house. Use the water dispenser provided by the host as the tap water does have a sulfur smell. This is fairly secluded, and if you want to do things in town, you will have to drive, but that can be viewed as an asset rather than a detriment. The town of St. Joseph is close as is Coloma. ##### Joan B.

Dianna’s place was perfect for our Thursday-Sunday family visit! Hagar Park is directly across the road with a playground and quiet beach access. Close to wineries and St. Joseph/South Haven attractions. The kitchen was well-stocked, there were an abundance of games, beach accessories, and a lovely yard/deck area for relaxing. Beds were super comfortable and we had everything we needed for a great getaway. It was my birthday and Dianna even put up happy birthday banners. Blue Shutter Beach House is a perfect getaway and the best value around. I hope to stay again. ##### Kim S.

We had a great time during our stay! Dianna was very responsive and helpful both ahead of time and during, and was great about communicating things we’d need (or want) to know ahead of time also! Everything was clean and the house was spacious. The house has great bones so sound didn’t carry into the bedrooms much at all, so we all got great rest! Our favorite feature was certainly the beach being merely paces across the street, right outside of our front door. It was a dreamy beach with the perfect proximity. Thanks again, Dianna! If ever we’re around again we will certainly stay with you. Thank you! ##### Courtney N.

The house was perfectly clean and very close to the beach. I liked all of the notes around the house. The fun personality of the owner definitely came through. Would stay again. ##### Heather L.

The traffic on M 63 was loud. We used ourown water due to the Sulphur smell. The hpuse was roomy and alot of time and energy put in converting it. Home owner was gracious and attentive. . . ##### Meredith H.

We enjoyed our time at the house. It had a lot of the amenities we were looking for. The property is a short drive from South Haven and St.Joseph. The beach was a short walk and we got to see fireworks from the surrounding neighbors and while we were on the beach. Overall a great trip. :) ##### Kila M.
