Havlik Vacation Rental

dqlqjq Naperville, Il
Review Submitted: March 18, 2007 Date of Stay: July 2006
We loved staying at this home in Michigan. We like to consider it our home away from home in South Haven. There was not one thing we needed and didn't have available to us in this fully stocked and unbelievably clean home. All that is really needed are your clothes and toiletries. Don't forget your swimsuit as the heated pool is a wonderful convenience. The kids love playing in the fenced in backyard and on the new swingset, when not playing with the abundant amount of indoor and outdoor toys, or watching a DVD in the playroom.

The location is ideal, walk to town for doughnuts and coffee, or walk to the playground or beach. We love the shopping in town at the unique stores, too. The Havlik family have compiled a book of information about the town including restaurants and local sights. We enjoyed blueberry picking with our kids and eating homemade ice cream from Sherman's . We also enjoyed visiting the town of Saugatuck for lunch and shopping, which is not too far from South Haven.

If we had any questions or problems Mr. Havlik always responded quickly and was very helpful.

We are looking forward to our stay at the house again this summer. We really think we found a true gem and plan on returning year after year!

Review Submitted: January 10, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

For the second year in a row, we spent an extended weekend around New Year's Eve at the Sunset Center (Sun House this year, Ice House last year) and we had a great time! The house is huge, we had 9 adults and 4 kids (ranging from 4 to 8 years old) and everyone had a bed (not to mention a spare bedroom was available, too). The house is clean, the basement is a plus (for when you want to go play some darts, cards or a board game and have it be relatively quiet) and there is plenty of space. Everything was provisioned well and we had a grand time in the hot tub at night (too bad it was below freezing and thus we could not use the pool, but maybe when we come back in the warmer months we can try it).

To sum it up, it was an excellent 4-night stay, I highly recommend the Sunset Center houses to everyone, both houses are new, clean, with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, well-stocked, spacious and full of amenities. We hope to come back soon. Thanks again, Jim and Amy!

What a great house and we were lucky enought to have great weather. We were there from 9/25 to 9/28. We used the outdoor heated pool everyday...we had 8 kids under the age of 4 and there were enough toys, books and games for them all. The house is about 4-5 blockes from the beach and the same distance to a great park where kids and adults could play for hours. I highly recommend this house for your family and friends...

Wonderful, wonderful experience. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home. The Sun House has everything for everyone of all ages. We were in South Havne for my daughter's wedding and at times the house was packed with people, but if you needed some quiet time, you could easily find it. If you stay here you have to look at the pictures of the renovations of this house. Beautiful home with all the amenities you may need. Highly recommended to visit South Haven and stay in the Sun House!! Thank you agin for the experience!!

Review Submitted: August 29, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
What a fun week we had at the Sun House. Got to love a King bed! We had a total of 11 and if you wanted to be alone you could always find a quiet area to sneak off to. The pool was great. Our kids 4 in total ranging from 9-12 liked IT better than the lake.
The only thing we needed to purchase was an ice cream scoop and why we needed more ice cream after our nightly walk to the DQ or one of the other great ice cream parlors is beyond me.
Also got to love having as many bathrooms as this house offers.
When the timie is right we Will be back!
Thanks again Jim and Amy it is definitely a vaction we will talk about for years to come.
