Reviews for this vacation condo rental in South Haven, Michigan

5 out of 5

A wonderful trip for good friends!

MaximKL Chicago
Review Submitted: October 1, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
The four days my 5 good friends and I spent in this house were memorable, wonderful and more than we could have ever wished for.
Besides all the ameneties a family friendly and comfortable vacation house needs, the Octagon simply has a great vibe to it. It is hard to explain, but the house made us feel welcome and relaxed the moment we stepped foot in. The surrounding is beautiful and simply everything about this place makes for a good time out away from hectic city life.

We have stayed at the Octagon 3 times and counting. It is a great family condo. The deck is a great place for lounging and entertaining. Everything was clean and neat. The owners have been very easy to work with. We will be back.

Great Rental

Review Submitted: September 29, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
My friends and I rented the Octagon for a weekend getaway and had a wonderful experience. The property is clean and well maintained. The deck is amazing! It is close to the beach and a 5 minute drive from downtown South Haven. The rental process was seamless and the owners were extremely accomodating. I would definitely rent this property again.

FYI

S. Wettergren Brownstown, MI
Review Submitted: September 26, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
This review is our critique of this rental property and we have nothing personal against the owner of the property. On the contrary, he was amiable and accommodating, and refunded our cleaning deposit, for reasons that will follow in this review. However, in fairness to others thinking about renting this condo I offer the following:
The queen bed in the loft is really a mattress on the floor - an adult cannot stand up in the loft area without hitting the ceiling; we had to buy our own toilet paper, paper towel and soap for the shower as these were not provided (only one roll of toilet paper on each dispenser in each bathroom, one roll of paper towel in kitchen); the First Street beach is within walking distance, but there are not sidewalks on this part of North Shore Drive (it is two lanes, with double yellow line); the queen bed in the master bedroom is very noisy - creaked every time we rolled over (and no, we are not big people); there is a playground area with children's swings, but signs are posted for children NOT to play because it is dangerous (looks like the equipment is from the 1930's or 1940's); the house wasn't very clean - garbage can in kitchen had gunk around the edges from previous tenants, wall behind the garbage can spattered with food because people had aimed for the can and missed their target, kitchen sink had a strainer with food particles left in it, sticky floors in kitchen that I cleaned myself because I got tired of walking on them, the carpeting in the enclosed stairway leading up to the condo was filthy and smelled musty (like wet dog - even though dogs aren't allowed), and the condo smelled the same. We ran the air conditioner constantly to keep the air smelling better, even though the weather was fairly mild. The recliner in the living area was stained and smelly, like dozens of sweaty bodies had been sitting on it all summer long. We covered it with a sheet before we sat on it.
So, our vacation got off to a rocky start because we had to buy supplies and clean. We didn’t sleep well because the bed was loud. But after we cleaned up the place, went shopping, and took Excedrin PM every night, things were fine.
