This was the perfect destination for a quiet getaway with a friend! The place was clean and just as described. The host was very accommodating and quick to reply to any communication. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in South Haven.
We had such a great stay! This condo is very comfortable and is in the perfect location: close to town and to the beach! And the sunrise views over the river were marvelous. We would happily return here for another visit.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was clean, up-to-date, very close to the beach and various shopping and restaurants. We enjoyed the boats coming and going while we sat on the back deck.
My husband and I had a wonderful weekend in South Haven. This condo was amazing. It was close to the beach and walking distance to the restaurants. Loved the back patio. Convenient parking out front. Condo was very clean. I will definitely be coming back!
We loved this condo. The beds were comfortable. Outside seating was nice. Great parking. It was small enough that it might be cramped for a family, but it was great for traveling with a friend. We would go back again.
Condo was in a great location with a nice view of river and walking distance to downtown. Nice layout with porches on both levels. Owner was very responsive. I look forward to staying here again.

Condo in south haven
Great location! Beautiful view of the river. The condo was stocked with everything we needed. The owner was awesome and communicated very well! I would stay again!
Beautiful setting and very clean. Home decor tastefully done and outdoor spaces amazing. The couch needs replacing (not the one pictured in the listing) and the mattress in the 2nd bedroom isn’t the best. I would recommend replacing the carpeting in the living room. Otherwise wonderful!!
We did a short mid-week trip and couldn’t be happier with our choice. The condo is within walking distance to old harbor, the beach, numerous restaurants, bars and shops. We spent the evening out on the balcony watching the boats come in from the lake.
The condo is in the perfect location to walk to anywhere in downtown South Haven - close to the beach, the restaurants, and the shops.
We all found it most relaxing being on the Black River and being able to watch the boats traveling by the condo. We were also able to paddleboard from the dock - very convenient!
We enjoyed our stay and will consider staying here again on any future trips to the area. The unit was clean, bed comfortable, nicely decorated, and the communications with the owner throughout the process were good. The view of the boats coming and going on the river were great, with good views of the sunrises from the decks. Very close to the downtown area and beaches for walking and sunset viewing.
Our stay at this South Haven Condo was lovely. The location was ideal as it was within walking distance to several beach fronts and local restaurants. Our 3 year old especially loved the view of the river and all the boats that passed by each day.
Chad was extremely communicative and responded immediately to any questions we had before and during the stay.
We came for a girls weekend for my mom’s 70th. We had a wonderful time! The condo is beautiful and clean. Had everything we needed. The host Chad was very responsive and accommodating. The location was perfect, walkable to almost everything. We hope to be back for a future stay.
This property was just beautiful and so clean. The view of the river, the sunrise, watching the pink moon rise, watching the parade of boats, everything was wonderful. South Haven is wonderful! So many wonderful restaurants, our favorites , which has Small plates, amzing martinis. Then The River Bottom, a speakeasy with amazing ambience and wonderul turkish food. Will definitely be coming back! Our hosts kept us informed of everything and have an app on everything about the property and area. Really great adventure. were Taste-
Chad and Brooke have a wonderful townhome situated in a beautiful spot in South Haven. Their home is fully accommodated and clean. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck overlooking the river and watching the boats pass. The beach and downtown are easily walkable. Our family comes to SH every year and this was by far a favorite rental for us. We would love to stay again!
First off let me start with I never leave reviews! But this place was perfect, clean, excellent view, close walk to beach and all the shops & restaurants. We so enjoyed our time together, and our host Chad was as attentive and eager to help with anything we needed..
Thank you Chad for the perfect weekend
This place met all of our needs. Great view of the river. It was a special extra to see all the boats and fishermen going down the river first thing in the morning. Sunrise was also nice and the window shades came in handy.
Condo was very clean and thoughtfully decorated. Kitchen was well stocked. Great location. Quick walk to downtown and the lake.
All and all a great experience!
My family really enjoyed staying here. We all loved watching the boats and my toddler even caught a fish. The home was clean and compared to a lot of places, pretty toddler friendly! (Minimal sharp corners and breakable objects). The location was perfect, since we were a short walk from the town area, and a 15 minute walk from the beach. The only minor issue we had was that the listing said we were in condo 13, but the places used letters. Luckily there was a picture of the front door decor and we were able to locate the correct door. We loved this place!
My husband and three kids stayed for four nights and had a wonderful stay. The booking process and check in were so easy thanks to the wonderful communication from Chad. We knew exactly what to expect when we got there and were given a great guide with explanations of things in the condo, surrounding area and recommendations on restaurants. My favorite thing was waking up in the cozy master bedroom with a view of the black river. Enjoyed reading a book with a cup of tea on the bedroom balcony. The condo was spacious for our family and clean. Chad checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. The best thing about the place was the location. We were able to walk into town to all of the fun shops and restaurants. We could easily walk to the smaller beaches. We could have walked to north beach, but with kids, coolers and beach toys we decided to make the quick drive. We found free parking near the beach on the street each day. This was our first time to Soouth Haven and we absolutely loved it! We would definitely recommend staying in this condo! Thanks for a great stay!
This was a great place stay with views of the Black River and all the boats traveling on the river. Close to the downtown and the beaches. It’s a great place to come and relax. We saw some wonderful sunsets and some great waves crashing against the lighthouse.
