Great stay for large family
Overall we had a lovely stay. The property is a beautifully renovated house in a great location - an easy walk to a small public beach with little kids! The kitchen was also very well stocked so we could cook and not rely on eating out a ton. Would definitely stay here again in the future.

A great spot!!
We planned a big girls trip and we stayed at Sheila's English Cottage. It was a wonderful trip with a great place to stay. The 3 bathrooms are ideal for this many girls. We can't wait to return next year. The cottage was beautiful and perfect for us!

Very nice and close to town
Very pleasant week in South Haven for our family of 5, plus our dog. Short trip to the big beaches (2 minutes by car, 15 minute jog), and a short walk to the small beaches. Plenary of room for us to hang out and play games. Owner is very responsive. A great place to stay.

Perfect house for weekend in south Haven.
Even better than the listing! We rented this property with 3 couples for a weekend of golf, pickleball and exploring south Haven. The house is beautiful, clean and comfortable and a short walk to the beach and to town. We are planning on making this an annual event and look forward to returning to the house!

Great house!
This house was great for our week long trip. Description was right on point. Spacious bedrooms and living room area. Kitchen was fully equipped and made cooking dinners easy. Cute little backyard with beautiful hydrangeas. Best of all short walk to the beach and close to downtown area. Host was also quick to answer any questions during our stay.

Great stay for joyous occasion
231 Brockway in South Haven, MI was a perfect match for our stay. The home was clean, pleasant and well equipped. Based on market rate, the nightly cost was very competitive. The lower level space was a real bonus for us to accommodate all our family. The manager was attentive and responsive. Easy access to all that South Haven has to offer.

Sheila's English Cottage Was Perfect For Us
This lovely home is the perfect vacation spot for us. It is comfortable, clean, spacious and well-stocked with everything travelers need. The location is just what we like: the beach and town are in easy walking distance. Paul and Sheila are helpful, friendly and accommodating. A huge bonus is the fact that dogs are welcome. Our daughter and niece love the fact that their little companions can come along on vacation!

Perfect couples get away
This was the perfect house for 4 couples! The house was clean, very well equipped and the perfect location- walking distance to the beach and downtown. Donna was very accessible and answered questions in a very timely manner. This was our second time renting this property and it will definitely not be our last.

Wonderful home!
We totally enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home! We were celebrating a family birthday and had adults and teens. There was plenty of room for everyone to have there own space and the kids loved having the basement to themselves. The gathering areas were spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was outstanding and very well equipped. Great location, quiet street, and a yard big enough to play yard games and sit and relax. Would highly recommend! Thanks, Donna!

Birthday Gathering
We came to South Haven to celebrate a family birthday. Our group was made up of two grandparents, our adult daughter, our son and his wife and their two and a half year old. The layout of the house was perfect for us, as the downstairs is practically a separate apartment. The linens and towels were very good quality—-I always appreciate that. The house was very comfortable, had ample room for all of us, and Eleanor, who is currently being a dinosaur, could run around and roar to her heart’s content. The area is quiet, but close to everything. We all enjoyed our stay.

Well-appointed rental in a great location
Loved our stay! Home is well laid out for privacy with three bathrooms and basement (one with a tub for kiddos). Easy walk to smaller beaches and very short drive to North Beach - though you can walk it as it's 20 min or less. Loved being so close/walking distance to the Memories shop as it has lots of sundries (and ice cream by the scoop when it's crowded in town!). Donna's home is very comfortable with three different outdoor spaces we took advantage of. The large table indoors fit our group no problem. One of the most well-appointed rentals I've ever been to - everything from an abundant of silverware, plates, pots & pans to extras like salad spinner, plastic silverware, common spices, two coffee makers, blender & even an avocado saver! Nice grill, lots of books, games and the TV had plenty of channels and ways to access our streaming services. Wouldn't hesitate to rent again, one of our favorite stays.

Great house for a family getaway
We rented this house for a large family getaway (7 adults, 6 kids). We were able to comfortably fit all of us. Great beds, lots of pillows. Could have used with a couple more bath towels, but it worked out. The kids loved it- they were able to scooter around the driveway without speeding cards going by. Nice quiet neighborhood. 3 great beaches within a walk or couple minute drive. We had my father who has mobility issues in the house with us- nice flat floors without extra ledges, open furniture plan and only a few steps in and out of the house. Could have used a griddle (pancakes), colander (spaghetti) and a larger cookie sheet for feeding our large crew, but there were enough other pans in the house to function. Great rental, thanks for everything!

Perfection!
Our three generation family could not have enjoyed this place more. Comfy everything - lounging furniture, beds, and outdoor furniture were great. Lovely bathrooms, bedrooms equipped with ceiling fans. The kitchen was well equipped - we have several good cooks and we wanted for nothing. The host was very responsive. We are looking forward to booking this place for our annual (upwards of 25 years) SoHa vacation in 2025!

Comfortable Family Vacation Retreat
My family and I were happy with this house. It is on a quiet street, close to the beach and the shopping area. We were pleasantly surprised at how well stocked the kitchen was. The family room was comfortable and had plenty of room to visit. There were 9 of us and we had plenty of room. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The house was clean. The downstairs shower was a big hit and we had to all take turns using it. The back yard had a nice grill, that we used for the fresh fish we just caught. Plenty of area in the back to hang out. The outdoor lights were a nice touch. The owner was very responsive to any questions. When we come back to South Haven, we will rent again. Thank you, Donna!

Location, location, location and kitchen, kitchen, kitchen!
We are six adults, 5 of us over 60, who just finished a wonderful South Haven vacation and stay at Soha Summers. Since we are still in pandemic times, we cooked at the house almost every night. There is a great outdoor dining area and a gas grill that we made good use of. Other nights, we cooked in the well-equipped kitchen with gas stove and ate together at the dining table. SoHa Summers was a great place to spend time with family and friends, and it is well-located for a walk to the beach or to Phoenix Street.

BEAUTIFUL HOME
We loved the home, was beautiful and everything worked wonderfully, was within walking distance which we loved, but also just a short drive if you wanted to take items to one of the larger beaches. The only thing we would have enjoyed while there was the use of a fire pit outside, but the grill was awesome.

Amazing Family Home Off The Lake
We had such a nice stay at Donna's house! We come to SoHa the same week every year for a family reunion and Donna's house really impressed us. It is beautifully updated, close to the beach, and the kitchen is fully stocked for all your cooking needs. We loved our stay and highly recommend this house to others traveling to SoHa.
