The house is absolutely beautiful. I wish the weather had been warmer so we could have enjoyed sitting out on the porch and around the fire pit. We will definitely be back.
This house was in a great location. Just a short walk to the beach and all the uptown stores. Very well, equipped kitchen. Beds were comfortable and could sleep 12 people easily. There were two nice bathrooms upstairs. One with a tub/shower and one with a walk in shower. Several rooms had TVs with streaming service capability and one had a DVR. Would definitely consider staying here again on a future trip to South Haven.
The house was nice. Decent location, though much closer to downtown than the beach. It was a quiet neighborhood, and we appreciated the toys and books for the kids on our trip.
The main negatives would be that the upstairs got pretty hot at night, even when we adjusted the thermostat. Also, there weren’t many hand towels for the kitchen. That would have been nice to have a few more as we cooked a lot at the house. Otherwise very good.
We had a great time here! The place was perfect for our group of 8. We loved the charm of the old house and plenty of space for all of us. It’s the perfect location to town and the beach. We will be back!
The home is beautiful and very comfortable. We enjoyed the beach, shopping, wine tasting (Gravity) and dining (Taste) in South Haven, all just a short walk from the home.
We had a wonderful week in South Haven. Looking forward to coming back next year! We would absolutely stay in the same house. Everything was great including the proximity to town and the beach!
The cleanliness and style of the home was much appreciated. The outdoor areas were a bonus. The proximity to town and beach is fantastic. Our family truly appreciated and enjoyed your home.
We spent a long weekend in South Haven and this property couldn't have been in a better location. It was a close and easy walk to downtown and the beach. Plenty of room for our family of 5 plus my sister's family of 4 to spread out. We had everything we needed and more! Would definitely stay here again!
We had a great time at the Blue View Victorian. The house had plenty of space for 5 adults and 3 kids. The outside dinners at the table on the deck were very enjoyable and the house had all the amenities we needed for a great stay! Thanks to Anna and Jason!
This property is everything it promised to be. Perfect location, beautiful/charming house, and great outdoor space to enjoy. My only regret is not saying longer. Would love to come back again.
South Haven was a perfect place for our senior, yet active, group of ladies to vacation.
The house is charming and very well kept. Kitchen was very well stocked, and the dining room and porch allowed for plenty of space to eat. A highlight for us was the back yard - a “compact “ space with plenty of furniture to accommodate our group of 8 ladies as we gathered around the amazing fire pit each night. Grill was great too!
My friends and I had a great stay at this beautiful home. We were composed of 3 couples with a total of 4 babies and had plenty of room for everyone. We really appreciated the baby amenities provided, as well as all of the regular amenities. We also loved how close this home was to the beach and downtown. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
We had 7 adults stay here, but had plenty of room for 5 more. The house was awesome. We couldn't have asked for anything better. We had lots of room to hang out.. from inside, front porch, back porch to outside seating area with firepit. We walked everywhere we needed/wanted to go. Beach, coffee shops, shopping, restaurants and bars. It was a perfect quick vacay for our family. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Beautiful and welcoming home with great details and everything you need. The kitchen is on the smaller side, but well equipped with everything in working order. A lot of options for seating for larger groups, including the lovely table on the deck. Patio with fire pit was great - we used it every night. I loved sitting on the front porch in the morning. The location is excellent - short walk to the beach, town, and Kids' Corner park. Great bedroom for kids and master bed was super comfortable! Definitely would recommend.
Overall we enjoyed the house! Location is perfect, close to downtown and south beach. We rented bikes in town and biked downtown a lot. The neighborhood was very nice! The house was stocked pretty well and had extras. Lots of sitting spaces, inside and outside! The only complaint I had was the cleaners could have vacuumed better and we did wash the bathroom rugs. They needed cleaned. Everything else was very good!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely home that is a short walk to South beach, and practically in the heart of town. We walked to everything. The photos do not do the property justice in how impeccably and comfortably decorated it is, with plush bedding, ample towels, and a great deal of thought given to all the extras that made our stay a wonderful time and now a lasting memory. Our combined family's four teens abandoned their phones for games of backgammon, strolls to the pier, and s'more roasting over the fire pit. We will return!
Loved this home. It was our second time staying here. Every thing was first rate and the most well stocked home (pots,pans, silverware, etc) we have ever stayed in.
This property and location were absolutely amazing. We rarely used our vehicles.....we were able to walk to Phoenix Street and the beach very easily. Loved all the seating areas both inside and out. There wasn't a day we spent at the beach that someone did not comment on the beach wagon the owners had available for use. Anna was so very responsive in any inquiries I made. We enjoyed the charm of SoHa......the shops, Wednesday farmers' market and the Thursday night riverside concert. Our evenings were often spent relaxing and chatting on the front porch after the little ones went to bed. I think our family would love a repeat of this vacation....both the town and your home.
