Early Fall Stay
We enjoyed our stay and will consider staying here again on any future trips to the area. The unit was clean, bed comfortable, nicely decorated, and the communications with the owner throughout the process were good. The view of the boats coming and going on the river were great, with good views of the sunrises from the decks. Very close to the downtown area and beaches for walking and sunset viewing.

Great Condo with an amazing view
We did a short mid-week trip and couldn’t be happier with our choice. The condo is within walking distance to old harbor, the beach, numerous restaurants, bars and shops. We spent the evening out on the balcony watching the boats come in from the lake.

Perfect location!
My husband and three kids stayed for four nights and had a wonderful stay. The booking process and check in were so easy thanks to the wonderful communication from Chad. We knew exactly what to expect when we got there and were given a great guide with explanations of things in the condo, surrounding area and recommendations on restaurants. My favorite thing was waking up in the cozy master bedroom with a view of the black river. Enjoyed reading a book with a cup of tea on the bedroom balcony. The condo was spacious for our family and clean. Chad checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. The best thing about the place was the location. We were able to walk into town to all of the fun shops and restaurants. We could easily walk to the smaller beaches. We could have walked to north beach, but with kids, coolers and beach toys we decided to make the quick drive. We found free parking near the beach on the street each day. This was our first time to Soouth Haven and we absolutely loved it! We would definitely recommend staying in this condo! Thanks for a great stay!

Relaxing stay and great location
My family really enjoyed staying here. We all loved watching the boats and my toddler even caught a fish. The home was clean and compared to a lot of places, pretty toddler friendly! (Minimal sharp corners and breakable objects). The location was perfect, since we were a short walk from the town area, and a 15 minute walk from the beach. The only minor issue we had was that the listing said we were in condo 13, but the places used letters. Luckily there was a picture of the front door decor and we were able to locate the correct door. We loved this place!

Riverfront View / Boat Watching
This place met all of our needs. Great view of the river. It was a special extra to see all the boats and fishermen going down the river first thing in the morning. Sunrise was also nice and the window shades came in handy. Condo was very clean and thoughtfully decorated. Kitchen was well stocked. Great location. Quick walk to downtown and the lake. All and all a great experience!
