Stellar week at the Lake

Beautiful home with perfect views! Plenty of space for our large family. Clean and well appointed. Bonus to have trams down to the beach for less mobile family members. Thank you for the great hospitality!

The Perfect Summer Lakehouse

The property was even more beautiful than in pictures and very clean upon our arrival. There was lots of attention to detail and so many different spaces to enjoy. The beach was wonderful and easy to access. We spent a lot of the weekend relaxing on the front porch enjoying the lake view. Host was very responsive. Would recommended Michigan Wine Company for wine tasting in the area.

The house is beautiful and wonderfully located close to the private beach. The house has great amenities and lots of space to spread out. It was very family friendly for littles. There were games, coloring supplies, puzzles, beach toys, and beach wagon. The outdoor fire ring, hot tub, and propane fire pit on the deck made it very cozy. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions. Highly recommend!!

Beautiful view of Lake Michigan

Our family vacation consisted of adult children and significant others (ages 19-27). This place had enough space for everyone. The balcony and the screened in porch were favorites. The property manager was accessible and responsive. The kitchen is well-stocked. Had a great time.

Beautiful views, beautiful place

This was the perfect place for a get-a-way. The property is beautiful, with gorgeous views and it feels very private. There are thoughtful amenities, plenty of beds and a wonderful place to gather, eat and play games. We visited in the fall and didn't access the beach, but watched the most perfect sunset from the deck and then woke up to the lake view. The best AriBnB I have ever stayed in.

Amazing South Haven Stay!

Gorgeous house right on the water - perfect for 2-3 families. Beautiful beach access. Well-equipped home with all the essentials, even kids' stuff! Super clean, comfortable beds, plenty of towels. Host was very communicative and helpful! Easy drive to downtown South Haven, Virtue Cider, several other attractions. Will definitely stay here again!!!

Loved the Lake Michigan view!

This home was perfect for the 7 of us. Great location right on the water, nicely decorated, comfortable beds. Grandsons play guitar & there was one in the living room they enjoyed playing. Close to The South Haven downtown. The ladies all loved the scent of the shampoo, conditioner & body wash. Highly recommend this home away from home!

Cozy and relaxing

The location of this home is absolutely wonderful. We’ve stayed in this area a few times and enjoy being able to venture easily to South Haven and Saugatuck. The area is quiet and a perfect spot to relax with an incredible view. The beach is great for a walk, and though it’s small, there is still plenty of space for kids to play. The home was very clean and well decorated. A cozy spot to hang out with the family and we enjoyed the record player and games.

Beautiful Home & Water Views

We loved our relaxing weekend at this lovely beach house right on Lake Michigan. Even with the chilly March air, we had gorgeous water views from our beds, living room and all other common spaces! As a fellow host, I can tell the level of attention the owner has put into making guests feel at home with the decor and the amenities provided. Great place in a great location!

Picturesque Weekend Getaway

This home is lovely. Incredibly clean, the kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook meals, tons of plush towels in each bathroom, fantastic views from every huge window, the list goes on. The evening sunsets were breathtaking. The home is in a community yet feels private and secluded. I'd love to come back here in warmer weather to experience the beach, which is steps from the front door!

Breathtaking Sunset

Enjoyed a very nice and relaxing girls weekend. Downtown South Haven was very quaint and the restaurants were great. I highly recommend Clementine's. The view of the sunset from the windows and the beach were spectacular. Jack did a great job explaining everything and responded quickly with all of our questions. We will definitely be back and use this place again.

Weekend Stay for Two families with young children

The Holiday Heart house was perfect for our weekend fall getaway to Michigan. Close to South Haven and Saugatuck, we enjoyed the property and the surrounding towns! We had 4 adults and 3 small children. Plenty of space in the main areas, and the screened in porch was our absolute favorite! The views could not be beat from the house. We will definitely be back in the summertime! Jack was incredibly responsive and all the instructions were clear. House is exactly as pictured!

Winter Break

Exploring places to visit this summer with our entire family and grandchildren. Cute, clean, nicely decorated, plenty of sleeping areas and space to spread out. Oh the views of Lake Michigan were incredible! Definitely will be rebooking for this summer. A place I could just bring my clothes and move right in. This was a great find!

Perfect place for family time

It’s the perfect place. The great neighborhood away from the hub hub And The views! The firepit out front. The gas fire pit on the deck for morning gathering with family while enjoying serene views . The beautifully appointed and immaculately clean gathering spaces! The screened in porch for game night all of it just perfect!! The host is amazing. And we did take the private beach, but I would recommend bringing water shoes because it is a rocky area. Great beach for adults probably not the best for a little ones just head over to North Beach the best beach experience just a short driveway.

Look no further

I recently stayed at Holiday Heart for a long girls' weekend in January. While a beach in Michigan wasn't the first place I thought of for a winter getaway, this place completely changed my tune. The home was warm, inviting, and beautifully appointed. Watching the sun set over a snowy Lake Michigan while drinking wine by the fire was oh so perfect and relaxing. The owners thought of literally everything to make you feel at home. Forgot shampoo and conditioner? They had it. Didn't bring enough clothes? In unit washer and dryer. Everything was updated and modern and most importantly CLEAN. The bed I slept in was very comfortable and I heard the same from my friends. The drive to town was super short and had plenty of fun things to do (even in the off season). We were there during a particularly frigid weekend, so didn't get to take advantage of the beach, but it is literally just out the front door. The host, Jack, was so easy to work with and very responsive. I cannot wait to come back in the summer (and next winter)!
