One can still walk to the downtown area, but it is on the water. Someone in another review said to get up early to see deer come to the lake to get a drink, the first night we saw 3 deer walking through the area right below the steps to the sand. It was perfect. ![Sunset](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fee28e46-50b5-44d9-8cd6-cb0e1c1b185c-1755134673179.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Deer](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5baffe70-3482-428a-9d16-22282655d140-1755134690822.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Pam I.

Perfect location, just minutes from shops and lake activities. Private beach access was wonderful. There is a bit of a sandy hill at the bottom of the 38 stairs which was hard on our knees and ankles, but the kids had no issues! There is NO laundry facilities at the location. Wi-Fi was weak but made for a nice break. Cell service was minimal as well. ##### Sara U.

Wonderful property! Easy access to the beach down the stairs. The beach was not crowded due to this area being private house and not large complexes. Plenty of things to do in South Haven if you like! Fully stock kitchen and great grill just outside the door. Love the sunsets! ##### Gregory S. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martha M. 12 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Incredible location! While you can't see the lake well from the unit, the grounds were absolutely wonderful. A short walk around the main house and down a wood stairway, and there are you on the beach. There is a small but totally beautiful deck from which to view the sunset every night. The beach is lovely -- the sand perfect and the walk along the beach beautiful. A warning -- don't rent this unit if you are unsteady on your feet or require assistance walking. There were stairs up to the unit and many wooden stairs down to the beach which could be a touch slippery in the morning dew. But the reward! (Also if you are a foodie, bring your own knife.) Best vacation ever on Lake Michigan beaches for us. ##### Martha M.
