Great
The house is great. Very comfortable. Very well stocked kitchen and beach shed. The bedrooms felt special and made it feel like a real vacation. We loved the house. Sound does travel so if you are sensitive maybe bring ear plugs but this did not affect us as it was myself with older parents. We absolutely loved this house and would stay again. Back yard gorgeous. We sat on front porch rockers and swing for the super moon.

The perfect vacation
My daughter and I stayed for a week at South Haven cottage and we absolutely loved it. The house was beautiful inside & out & everything we could possibly need was provided:). Everything was also either brand new or very clean. If it would help your stay at the beach, it was there. There was even an outside shower! We never expected the beautiful backyard or the shed which had everything you could want to spend the day outside. The balcony overlooked the beautiful flowers & the landscaping was lovely. We have no complaints. We wish we could have stayed longer and definitely will return. Nothing but praise for our experience from start to finish:)
