Wonderful Family Home

We had 3 different groups from our family staying here and had a wonderful experience. The home was clean and absolutely stocked with nearly every child item you could need (bikes, strollers, toys, cribs, etc.). Very convenient to walk downtown and to the beach. Overall a great place and would stay again.

Perfect family rental

The home was perfect for a large group. Walking In I was very impressed to find that it was exceptionally clean. It was the most comfortable and well stocked rental I have been in. The location was perfect with a short walk to downtown and the beach. My whole family from ages 10-72 enjoyed our stay and hope to return!

Wonderful Home Away From Home!

We were a large family group, staying in South Haven for Mother's Day weekend. The Icehouse offered us a lovely place to stay while exploring the South Haven area. The six bedrooms, three full and one half baths made our stay very comfortable. We spent our evenings playing games at the large dining room table, and were grateful to be able to enjoy the pool and hot tub in the afternoon. We would love to stay again sometime and highly recommend this South Haven Gem!

Wonderful! Tons of amenities, very family-friendly, great location.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this rental. The pool/hot tub/ deck were the main hang out space. Kitchen was well-equipped. We appreciated having spare coffee, kitchen supplies, and toiletries so we didn't have to keep running out to get things. There were so many toys for the kids to explore and play with. And the location to the beach and downtown is wonderful. We had a few questions and the host, Jim, was very responsive, helpful, and kind. Can't recommend this place enough!

Fall break

This spacious home was everything we were looking for in a vacation rental. From it’s six bedrooms to it’s beautiful backyard. A large deck with a gas grill, plenty of seating, a private pool, hot tub, and a shared play set for the kiddos. Very kid friendly with many books, board games, toys, and an actual arcade game in the home. The home was stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Plenty of towels, both bath and kitchen, garbage bags, paper towels, hand soap, laundry detergent and a fully functional kitchen. It is located near the playground and beach, and a short distance to downtown. The host offers a golf cart for an extra fee, which would be convenient to drive to the playground and beach. The host was very accommodating and responded quickly when texted. We would definitely stay here again.

It was our wedding weekend. So we booked both the Sun House and Ice House to host family from all over including Germany who had never been to the US. The houses are amazing, fully equipped, they thought of every need!! The owners responded right away with any question. We want to come back every year for our anniversary! ❤️

Great Girls' Getaway

We loved the location of this property, so close to town and the beaches! Lots of bedrooms and baths, spaces to spread out if we wanted to. The hot tub was such a nice way to relax each evening. The house was clean, but could maybe use a deep cleaning, as there were fingerprints/smudges/dirt marks on the refrigerator handles, bathroom walls and some of the doors/door jams. Also, the half bath toilet may need new screws and caulk, as it would move easily if bumped into. Great house overall, we would rent again.

Excellent!

We have stayed in many rentals, and this was by far the most equipped. Everything was provided - all we had to do was show up! The house was immaculate, the features like the hot tub and play area for the kids were great! Bikes, helmets, strollers, games, puzzles, etc. were all there for us. Location was in a quiet neighborhood near the downtown area. Jim is a great host - even sent a few items we left behind. Would definitely stay here again. So glad we chose this property.

Great Location

We were looking for a last minute get away for our family since our other summer plans were cancelled due to covid. We found this property and thought it would be perfect for our 3 year old and the rest of our family. This is the first property that we have rented that really has it all. The owners really have thought of everything you might need for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Having a heated pool and a hot tub mid September in Michigan was so nice since there can be big swings in the weather temp. The house had a ton of sleeping space. We were surprised with the amount of toys that were available for the kids to play with. The house is located about .5 mile from Lake Michigan where you can access the lake shore. There is also a great kids playground across from the beach access. The house is also located close to downtown and we were able to walk there a couple of days. We have already discussed this property as an option in the future especially since the owner also rents the property next door. It really allows for some nice family get togethers. I would highly recommend this property to families.
