We absolutely loved our stay! We spent a week here and couldn't have asked for more. The location was accessible to everything, we were able to bike or walk everywhere we wanted to go. The pool and hot tub were perfect for relaxing after long days at the beach. The house was incredibly well-stocked with so many thoughtful extras that it's impossible to list them all. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and be comfortable, and the host's communication was fantastic from start to finish. We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Family Home

We had 3 different groups from our family staying here and had a wonderful experience. The home was clean and absolutely stocked with nearly every child item you could need (bikes, strollers, toys, cribs, etc.). Very convenient to walk downtown and to the beach. Overall a great place and would stay again.

Wonderful! Tons of amenities, very family-friendly, great location.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this rental. The pool/hot tub/ deck were the main hang out space. Kitchen was well-equipped. We appreciated having spare coffee, kitchen supplies, and toiletries so we didn't have to keep running out to get things. There were so many toys for the kids to explore and play with. And the location to the beach and downtown is wonderful. We had a few questions and the host, Jim, was very responsive, helpful, and kind. Can't recommend this place enough!

Fall break

This spacious home was everything we were looking for in a vacation rental. From it’s six bedrooms to it’s beautiful backyard. A large deck with a gas grill, plenty of seating, a private pool, hot tub, and a shared play set for the kiddos. Very kid friendly with many books, board games, toys, and an actual arcade game in the home. The home was stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Plenty of towels, both bath and kitchen, garbage bags, paper towels, hand soap, laundry detergent and a fully functional kitchen. It is located near the playground and beach, and a short distance to downtown. The host offers a golf cart for an extra fee, which would be convenient to drive to the playground and beach. The host was very accommodating and responded quickly when texted. We would definitely stay here again.

The home was perfect for us. The pool heater worked great. I have been to a few places that say heated pool but it is broke or just doesn't heat the pool. Jim was a great host. Messaged Jim asking about an electeic air pump and he wasnt sure if the house had one so he had one delivered next day. Very much appreciate the extra effort. The house had many items that most other rentals just dont have. Bikes, pool gear, toys, books, DVD, board games, and arcade machine. Plenty of space to spend time with family and personal space as well to relax. We liked it so much we tried to book for next year but the house was already rented. Highly recommended. Thanks Jim. We had a wonderful vacation. Great location. Few blocks from beach and downtown. The kids loved the golf cart.

Wonderful Home Away From Home!

We were a large family group, staying in South Haven for Mother's Day weekend. The Icehouse offered us a lovely place to stay while exploring the South Haven area. The six bedrooms, three full and one half baths made our stay very comfortable. We spent our evenings playing games at the large dining room table, and were grateful to be able to enjoy the pool and hot tub in the afternoon. We would love to stay again sometime and highly recommend this South Haven Gem!

Great Girls' Getaway

We loved the location of this property, so close to town and the beaches! Lots of bedrooms and baths, spaces to spread out if we wanted to. The hot tub was such a nice way to relax each evening. The house was clean, but could maybe use a deep cleaning, as there were fingerprints/smudges/dirt marks on the refrigerator handles, bathroom walls and some of the doors/door jams. Also, the half bath toilet may need new screws and caulk, as it would move easily if bumped into. Great house overall, we would rent again.
