Family getaway after father's hospitalization and deathh
We loved the backyard and playhouse though its windows were very dirty. The deck was great for eating and grilling for the most part though we had some issues with allergies and some fluffy seeds everywhere. The house was very clean and the kitchen well equipped. The basement smelled very musty. We enjoyed the close proximity to the lake. Thank you for answering your texts+

Wonderful place to stay in South Haven
We had a wonderful stay at this location. It easily accommodated our very large family. The house was very conveniently and centrally located in the area, so everywhere we wanted to go was within 5-10 minutes. Beautiful neighborhood and yard, and all of the amenities were great and as advertised. The owner was great and made everything about our stay effortless. Would definitely recommend, and would definitely come back again.

Fabulous vacation at Coastal Playhouse!
Our family recently enjoyed a fabulous vacation at Coastal Playhouse in South Haven; Michigan! The beautiful and well-appointed home exceeded every expectation. The kitchen was well equipped to facilitate many home-cooked meals for our family which meant more time together and helped avoid crowded restaurants. The backyard was beautiful, and the blooming hydrangeas were breathtaking! Location to pubic beach access was a very short walk. Sally was wonderful to work with and extremely responsive.
