Your Private Beach - 100 Feet of Lakefront Overlooking Lake Mi

I have stayed at 4 properties through the use of VRBO and this one rates as the very best. It was peaceful, the views were out of this world and the private beach was clean and excellent. You would think that you were at the ocean. The house was clean and perfect for entertaining a large family. The community of South Haven was great too with so much to do. I would 100% recommend this property to anyone staying for any length of time in South Haven. The owners were great and easy to work with and I look forward to coming back here again in the future!

Since 1996 my sisters and I (6 of us) have made it a priority to get together for a weekend at least once a year. Our brother, the youngest, has joined us in the past few years so we were 7 siblings together. We have stayed at the Sandcastle the past two years and have decided to return again in the fall of 2010 if Wendy and John will have us. As I'm writing this, I'm thinking back to the first time we arrived at the Sandcastle - a crisp autumn day, the colors were vibrant and Wendy was coming down the lane as we drove in. We were warmly greeted and she told us the Sandcastle was all ready for our use. As the weekend progressed, we all took walks exploring the grounds (so many surprises here, there and everywhere!) The house itself has a wonderfully eclectic decor - lots of fun and unusual things to gaze upon!
It's a very comfortable house with a fantastic view of Lake Michigan - the sunsets are truly beyond description. The huge kitchen with a large table, a couch and some chairs at one end is the perfect gathering spot; with windows on 3 sides you almost feel like you are IN the trees. The kitchen also has an island for those who like to cook and have a need to spread out to prepare meals. One aspect we especially liked was, because of the spaciousness, you could be by yourself or choose to be with the "group". The living room was big enough for all 7 of us to sit in and chat, read, knit, work on a jigsaw puzzle...or whatever. There's a big room with a bathroom and beds downstairs - perfect for the kids or a separate family. The upstairs has a lovely master bedroom facing the lake (with it's own bathroom) and two other just as lovely bedrooms with a bathroom in between off the hallway. Outside is a long front porch with a hammock and chairs overlooking a huge lawn ending in a path through the dune grass, then steps down to the fantastic beach - beautiful rocks of all sorts and sizes washed smooth by the waves and, of course, the sand to sit in and soak up the sun!
Needless to say, I would toally recommend the Sandcastle to anyone for an enjoyable, relaxing and fun vacation for all.

Staying at The Sandcastle was a wonderful experience. The house is a perfect getaway because there is so much to do on the property like playing basketball, hanging out on the beach, swimming, watching movies projected onto a big screen and enjoying the wrap around deck that looks out on Lake Michigan. We never wanted to leave.
We enjoyed the art and felt very at home, the owners have clearly put a lot of time and care into the house and made it a very special place to be. The bedrooms are very comfortable and the house was clean when we arrived.
I highly recommend staying at The Sandcastle. I hope we have a chance to come back in the future!
