It's been a few days since we returned from South Haven but we are still glowing from our week-long stay. In total, we were a party of 11 -- 3 families, 6 adults, 2 tweens and 3 teenagers. My family, my sister's family and my cousin's family loved this house and location for our summer vacation.
For the adults, we had PLENTY of space to hang out with and without the kids. Each family had their own bedroom and bathroom, with the kids having their own space for a "sleepover" experience. The grown-ups had no trouble cooking, grilling and hanging out. The tweens and teens had a BLAST and a lot of freedom. They played ping pong, swam in the pool, watched movies and used the WiFi for gaming.
All of us enjoyed the pool (awesome that it is heated!) and fire pit, outdoor seating for meals, being together in the common spaces, sleeping well in our beds and never feeling too crowded in the house. We also enjoyed the location, in that it was walkable to the beach/town but far away from too much action. It was nice to have a car if we didn't feel like a long walk. We enjoyed a late evening stroll to watch the sunset. We drove to North Beach with all our gear for a beach day (although the water was freezing). We had fun shopping at the cute stores and boutiques on Phoenix St. We also highly enjoyed the first few days of the Blueberry Festival! There was something for everyone!
Bob was GREAT to work with and we had easy communication before and during our stay. Thanks for a great stay!
