Very nice stay at Little Blue
We had a great time with our 17 month old twins at the little blue cottage. Overall a great place to stay outside of South Haven. Bonfire pit and private beach were great perks! If you’re staying here this summer, definitely bring mosquito repellent.

Little Blue was great
The Little Blue cottage was a really nice for my family of 3. The house is very maintained and was very accessible upon check-in. The house is in a great location, right in the middle of South Haven and Sagatuck, which gives a lot of good options in the area. The beach was easy to access as well!

We had a great time at Little Blue! Very well stocked with beach supplies, cooking supplies, and everything we needed. We didn't expect how great the neighborhood private beach would be! This is a wonderful location and home to enjoy southwest Michigan.

2nd time staying here
Quaint little cabin… we went on a walk to the private beach our first night and saw 5 deer that came within 20 feet of us! Enjoyed relaxing watching movies in the evening and having chai on the front and back porch. Nice neighborhood and great place to come back to after a day at the beach or shopping in town!

Conley Family
Our stay was terrific. The cottage was very clean and set up extremely well. Very well decorated. Loved the front porch, very cozy. There is everything you could possibly need for everyday living in this cottage. The sunsets were out of this world. The people in the neighborhood were very friendly. Made a lot of dog friends. Would highly recommend this rental cottage. Had a blast!! Thank you, Karen

Perfect, even for a family of 5
We were only here a couple of nights, but the house was WELL stocked and that made our trip even better. Forgot butter? It’s there! Very nice. The house was very clean, we loved that there are fans everywhere, the porch was lovely. Camp fire was nice. Walk to the beach wasn’t bad, but even better when we realized we could drive down and park right by the beach! We would book here again for sure!

Relaxing time
We had a great weekend at this little retreat... very cozy and well stocked. Close to grocery, downtown and the beach. Getting the key from the box at check in was a little confusing, but we got it finally. It was nice coming back after a day at the beach to unwind with the many movies, games and books. Water from the faucets had an odor, I assume from well water. The house was very clean and had everything we needed . We will definitely book here again.

Great little getaway
The house is small but described accurately, and beautiful! The kitchen was well-stocked with basics (coffee, condiments, etc), as was the bathroom. Everything was clean and tidy, and it felt like a home away from home. We enjoyed the fire pit and hammock and the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Check-in was relatively easy, although we checked in after dark so it was a little tough to find the lock box and figure out which keys to use on the dark. I think it would have been much easier in daylight. Appreciated the simple and easy check out instructions. We'd love to stay here again.

Summer Family Getaway
We had a great time with our young family staying at the Seno’s rental. It is so cute and we loved spending cool mornings on the bed on the porch and evenings making s’mores and watching movies from their great collection. The private access to the beach was great and we had a few days of perfect weather to enjoy it. Positives: the location, fire pit & hammock, kitchen was fully outfitted, and comfortable atmosphere Areas of improvement: the house was very warm even with the window A/C in the family room it ran around 80/85 though it cooled down at night. To keep it comfortable we had to empty the dehumidifier 3-4 a day. While we were ok with no WiFi, we actually had no/spotty cell phone service at the property. If we had had an emergency we wouldn’t have been able to call from the house. Thanks for a great time.

Perfect for my family
The cottage was great and everything in it was well thought out. They have a great collection of DVD's, VHS, and CDs and even some craft kits for the kids. I have never stayed in a place that was so well stocked for guests, there wasn't anything they didn't have in the kitchen. Location is great, although it is about .5 miles to the gate to the beach now, they had to take out the old access. Still very very walkable. There is an overlook a block down with an incredible view. The people in the neighborhood are very friendly. My kiddo spent so much time reading on the front porch, she loved the fairy lights so much and wanted to sleep out there (there is a bed, we just wanted her inside). We had such a beautiful weekend there. So worth it! It's the best VRBO we have ever stayed at!

Great Girls Getaway
Thank you for a wonderful stay at your cute home. This is in a neighborhood area with homes around you. You are not out in the woods alone. Friendly neighbors. The beach access area is a good 10-12 minute walk. A very steep decline to get by the water. This is the perfect location between south haven and sagatuck.

This is a great place to stay. So peaceful and quiet. The house has everything you could possibly need and it's wonderful to have private beach access. It was just the right size for my husband and I. We'lddefinitely be staying again.
