Loved Little Blue!

This is a great place to stay. So peaceful and quiet. The house has everything you could possibly need and it's wonderful to have private beach access. It was just the right size for my husband and I. We'lddefinitely be staying again.

Great spot!

Some vacation rentals are pretty sparse with what's provided - this one had everything we needed! Great place with lots of bonuses (outside shower, grill, hammock, horseshoes, fire pit) and close to the beach. We had a great time!

Very nice stay at Little Blue

We had a great time with our 17 month old twins at the little blue cottage. Overall a great place to stay outside of South Haven. Bonfire pit and private beach were great perks! If you’re staying here this summer, definitely bring mosquito repellent.

Little Blue was great

The Little Blue cottage was a really nice for my family of 3. The house is very maintained and was very accessible upon check-in. The house is in a great location, right in the middle of South Haven and Sagatuck, which gives a lot of good options in the area. The beach was easy to access as well!

2nd time staying here

Quaint little cabin… we went on a walk to the private beach our first night and saw 5 deer that came within 20 feet of us! Enjoyed relaxing watching movies in the evening and having chai on the front and back porch. Nice neighborhood and great place to come back to after a day at the beach or shopping in town!

Small cottage. Drove to the private beach. Great for rock collectors. Bring water shoes. Could use a bit more privacy off back deck. Had to clean the outsider shower, so worth it!

Little Blue

Little Blue is the get a way you don’t know you need. The charming little cottage is packed full of beach gear and outdoor entertainment. The private beach is wonderful, but South Beach isn’t a far drive either! Don’t worry about not having internet, it’s a great place to unplug and spend quality time with your family!

Great Girls Getaway

Thank you for a wonderful stay at your cute home. This is in a neighborhood area with homes around you. You are not out in the woods alone. Friendly neighbors. The beach access area is a good 10-12 minute walk. A very steep decline to get by the water. This is the perfect location between south haven and sagatuck.

Quiet area

Nice home. Had everything we needed and more. No WIFI, but we knew that. Also no cell service in that area unless you get lucky once in a while. Private beach area is nice, just a bit of a walk. Sunsets nice at the overlook area. Refrigerator needed a good cleaning and expired condiments thrown out. Plenty of outdoor seating and nice having a gas grill. Thanks for a great stay!

Great place to stay

This is a great spot - it's a very cozy, well maintained house with everything we needed. So nice to have central air and great ceiling fans, too. No wifi but we had decent phone signal. Beach access is a 15 min walk away. The only downside was the sofa bed was very uncomfortable (luckily we brought our own airbed as a backup), and at one point the coffee pot malfunctioned and spilled everywhere. The other beds were very comfortable and we appreciated the well supplied kitchen. Beautiful spot!

Our stay was terrific. The cottage was very clean and set up extremely well. Very well decorated. Loved the front porch, very cozy. There is everything you could possibly need for everyday living in this cottage. The sunsets were out of this world. The people in the neighborhood were very friendly. Made a lot of dog friends. Would highly recommend this rental cottage. Had a blast!! Thank you, Karen

Perfect, even for a family of 5

We were only here a couple of nights, but the house was WELL stocked and that made our trip even better. Forgot butter? It’s there! Very nice. The house was very clean, we loved that there are fans everywhere, the porch was lovely. Camp fire was nice. Walk to the beach wasn’t bad, but even better when we realized we could drive down and park right by the beach! We would book here again for sure!

Relaxing time

We had a great weekend at this little retreat... very cozy and well stocked. Close to grocery, downtown and the beach. Getting the key from the box at check in was a little confusing, but we got it finally. It was nice coming back after a day at the beach to unwind with the many movies, games and books. Water from the faucets had an odor, I assume from well water. The house was very clean and had everything we needed . We will definitely book here again.

Great little getaway

The house is small but described accurately, and beautiful! The kitchen was well-stocked with basics (coffee, condiments, etc), as was the bathroom. Everything was clean and tidy, and it felt like a home away from home. We enjoyed the fire pit and hammock and the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Check-in was relatively easy, although we checked in after dark so it was a little tough to find the lock box and figure out which keys to use on the dark. I think it would have been much easier in daylight. Appreciated the simple and easy check out instructions. We'd love to stay here again.
