We stayed here for a week over Christmas 2023.
TL/DR: Yes, yes, YES we would stay here again!
Full review:
This is a great property in a convenient and safe location in South Haven, about a mile from the beach.
Positives:
• Super-responsive hosts
• Clean, comfortable 3 BR, 1.5 BA
• Beds/bedding were of great quality; good sleep
• Kitchen had newer appliances and was well-stocked for a short-term stay
• Furnace and fire-stove heated the house quickly
• Washer and Dryer with supplied laundry detergent
• Great TV/Internet package
• Yard and shed have just about everything you need for summer fun; bikes, beach equipment, gas grill, etc.
• Driveway is long enough for parking multiple vehicles
Improvements that could be made (not negatives, just things we feel could be improved over time)
• Only one TV (LR); yes, people don’t come to SH for the TV, but in a house with up to seven people in it, one TV will be inadequate (easy fix)
• No dressers; a week living out of a suitcase is less than ideal (easy fix)
• Sleeps 7 but dining for only 3-5; without more chairs, a large group dinner would be very challenging (easy fix)
• Driveway approach is incredibly steep at the street and driveway is not paved; might be a challenge for those with difficulty in walking on uneven ground
If we find that we have to stay in a rental next year, there is no question that we would consider Vacay Verde again. For the price of not much more than a hotel room for the week, we had all this.
