"Thank you so much Erica & Alyssa for a great trip!"
"Exactly what we were looking for! Erica and Alyssa were so kind and the home was beautiful and peaceful. Truly a home away from home with sweet personalized touches. The welcome book was incredibly helpful, didn’t have to question any plans with their recommendations! Highly recommend!"
"My friend and I had a relaxing getaway weekend at Erica and Alyssa's home! Everything in the home was exactly as described, and we appreciated the thoughtful details such as ample kitchen supplies, Keurig pods, hot chocolate, and so many towels! A big perk for us was the backyard hot tub. The location was perfect: walking distance to South Haven, and in the other directions it's also walking distance to a Walgreens and a grocery store. This made everything seem so convenient and we didn't have to worry about where or when to pick anything up. A great stay!"
"This was our second time staying at Marlowe's Haven. We love the comfy, cozy feeling we get when we stay there. It's decor is super cute and it's super clean. We look forward to our next visit in a year. Thank for allowing us to make great memories at Marlowe's Haven. We highly recommend this place!!"
"The Marlowe’s Haven house was even better in person. It was decorated like a modern farmhouse with all the amenities you could ask for. The upstairs bedroom with the two beds and toy room was perfect for both my girls. The other two bedrooms was perfect for my husband and I and my in laws stayed in the one of the main floor. Bathrooms were fully stocked and all linens looked as if they were brand new. All white too. We took advantage of the beach supplies they had available to use and even took a family bike ride. South Haven and surrounding areas had so much to offer for activities, food, and shopping. First time we have visited Michigan and we will absolutely be back again. I will recommend Marlowe’s Haven as the best and only place to stay!"
"Great home!"
"Loved our stay! Hosts are VERY responsive and prompt! Our toddler and baby slept great here, which is a huge win (if you know, you know!)."
"Nice home close to lake and downtown. Very well appointed and furnished home. Comfortable beds and pristine linens. Cleanest rental I’ve been to in a long while. The bikes were a fun and convenient bonus for the whole family. We spent a lot of time in hot tub or sitting around fire pit in lovely backyard.. Didn’t even have so worry about firewood! Thoroughly enjoyed time here and hated to go."
"We had a great stay at Marlowe’s Haven. It was a great location with amazing amenities. It was clear they have put a lot of thought and energy into making their place a perfect spot for a weekend getaway!"
"This house is very quaint! The decor is warm and cozy, loved it!! The Sun porch is especially enjoyable and the hot tub is also very nice! The hosts pay attention to details and it made the stay very pleasant."
"Beautiful home, comfortable and clean! We would definitely book again."
"We had a wonderful 4th of July stay! The house is decorated nicely, with everything you need to prepare meals and such. We enjoyed hanging in the backyard, soaking in the hot tub and riding bikes to town! The bikes were a nice touch as we wanted to avoid all the holiday traffic. About a 9 min bike ride to town, which was perfect. Walking to the beach is about a 30 min walk, so that was a bit further than our group wanted to walk yet, the bikes came in handy for that as well. We love South Haven, it's been a few years since visiting. We'd highly recommend this humble home :)"
"We had a wonderful time at Marlowe's Haven for our honeymoon! We love South Haven and this little gem of a house made it perfect! Especially loved the beach accessories as it was very hot so we spent most days enjoying the amazing beaches! We were able to take advantage of the fire out and hot tub also! The house inside is decorated so cute and we felt right at home! We made good use out of the many fans available and slept great on a comfy bed! We will be back! Thank you!"
"This property is perfectly equipped with everything you need. Very clean and comfy. The location is incredibly convenient! Our family had very fun Lake Michigan long weekend, with adventures in South Haven, Benton Harbor and Sagatuck. Great location, great house, great hosts!!!"
"Fun stay. Hosts were very responsive and helpful!"
"My wife and I came here for a weekend getaway and it was everything we could have asked for. South Haven is gorgeous and this slice of heaven was incredible. We enjoyed the beautiful kitchen, bedrooms, and backyard space when the weather was nice. It's also very close to many downtown South Haven spaces. We are totally coming back here again in the future."
"We loved our stay at Erica and Alyssa's place! The house was clean and comfy. Great for our family of 4. I would recommend to anyone looking to stay in SoHo!"
"Staying at Marlowe’s Haven was an amazing experience. Erica and Alyssa thought every little detail out ensuring we had an amazing trip. They provided games, a fire pit, and even a hot tub, making our vacation there 10 times more fun! We all had lots of fun! Thank you Erica and Alyssa!"

"Such a beautiful home with attention to detail!"
"Absolutely perfect!!"
"Our 3 -day stay with our adult kids was wonderful! The home was immaculately clean with so many nice details, including everything needed to prepare meals from cooking oil, to new pans/utensils, tin foil, as well as new appliances throughout (including a brand new washer and dryer in the basement). Everything was so nicely decorated. No need to bring paper towels, TP, hand soap, or shampoo/conditioner – nicely stocked here as well. We loved the proximity of the hot tub and the firepit that allowed our 6 person group to stay together no matter which they preferred. The firestarter and free firewood was also a plus that most VRBOs don't provide. We did not get a chance to use the many bikes that were available but I did notice they were all in good condition and ready to roll (including one that had a single pull-behind for a little one. We look forward to returning for another visit!"
"This cozy cottage is GORGEOUS and in an awesome location! A quick 2 minute drive to downtown or a 15 minute walk. It was perfect for our girls weekend and had plenty of space for 8 of us to feel comfortable and right at home. The hosts were very responsive, friendly, and helpful. Will definitely book this spot again in the future!"
"We absolutely loved our stay at Marlowe’s Haven! Honestly, it was one of the nicest airbnbs I have stayed at. The house is so lovely and comfortable. Even nicer than the pictures! The kitchen that was fully stocked with everything we needed (we cooked a handful of meals while there), and the beds were all super comfortable. Everything was so clean, and Erica and Alyssa have added so many thoughtful touches to the entire place. We enjoyed the hot tub too! Check in was a breeze and communication was top-notch throughout our stay. I would not hesitate to stay here again!!"
"Marlowe’s Haven was an absolute dream. It was a perfect girls trip and my friends and I would stay here again in a heartbeat. The decor made me feel like I was staying in a Chip and Joanna Gaines renovation and we were all living for it. The s’mores were an amazing treat and the hot tub aided in much needed relaxation. Not to mention how cont the beds were to sleep in!!! Thank you so much Erica and Alyssa!"

"This charming little house was everything it listed and much, much more! The house was by far one of the cleanest houses we’ve stayed at so far. So many extra amenities were provided to enhance our experience at Marlow’s Haven from bikes, beach toys, a fire pit, and even the hot tub. The location was perfect for a bike ride down to the beach or a short walk to downtown. The hosts were very responsive and even had a fun little welcome package waiting for us when we arrived, along with plenty of recommendations for things to do. We are already planning our next trip back!"
"This is our 3rd stay at Marlowe’s Haven and once again, Erica and Alyssa’s hospitality and graciousness surpassed our expectations.

"We loved our stay! Quiet street, within biking or golf cart distance of downtown and the beach. (Could definitely walk everywhere with stroller or if you are active) Every amenity we could’ve wanted was included. Highly recommend!"
"Very clean and very organized. First floor master very tight a room that only fits the bed and nothing else, side tables or chair. Rest of the accommodations very nice."
"After seeing photos of Marlowe's Haven I knew this was the place for our family getaway. The home was charming and cozy with vintage touches and modern conveniences.

Thank you to Alyssa and Erica for a wonderful place to call home during our stay!!"

"Great place for a few days. Close to everything, walkable when the weather is permitting. Beautiful home with plenty of room to relax and unwind. Hot tub was clean and what we needed after hiking the north trail to the beach at Sagutuck Dunes Stste Park! Maria's Taste of Italy makes a great pizza and has desserts for your sweet tooth. South Haven is a nice spot to enjoy your day away! Thank you. Your home is beautiful!"

"We spent a wonderful weekend celebrating my Mom’s birthday. When we arrived Erica and Alyssa had a bouquet of flowers, mini, party hats, candles and a handwritten card to kick the celebration weekend off right! The home was even better than the photos; incredibly clean and welcoming with enough space to spread out. The hot tub was ready to go and heated up and there was even a fire starter and fixings for s’mores when we arrived! The house is a quick drive, 3 minutes to downtown. We would highly recommend this home!!"

"Nous avons adoré séjourner dans ce lieu ! Nous avons été très bien accueillis avec des fleurs et un petit mot, dans une maison confortable, nickel et apprêtée comme une maison de poupée! La rénovation et les équipements sont récents et de bonne qualité. Des fournitures nous avaient été laissées en supplément : café, bonbons, condiments, entretien... Nous avons pu profiter du jardin pour se baigner dans le jacuzzi, faire des grillades et jouer de la musique autour du feu. Les enfants ont adoré les jouets et livres qui avaient été laissés à leur disposition. Nous avons apprécié pouvoir utiliser les vélos et jeux de plages pour nos excursions. Enfin, nos hôtes ont été très serviables et ont rapidement répondu à nos demandes durant notre séjour."
"We had a truly wonderful stay! We fell in love as soon as we pulled up and stayed that way through our whole stay. Eric an & Alyssa thought of things we hadn’t even thought of and truly made our stay incredible. Super close to all the action on Phoenix Street too. We love Marlowe’s Haven!"
"This house was fantastic. It catered to our needs as a family and has a great location to access SoHa beach and travels to other local Michigan cities. This house was very clean and a lot of attention to all the needs of anyone who might stay there were met. The owners were also very attentive to our questions during our stay."
"The home and the hosts are extremely accommodating! There are so many detail touches that make this home a true gem. No details were over looked. The house is literally only a few minutes away from everything you come to South Haven for! With all the amenities, you really only need to bring a change of clothes to have a great time. The backyard is extremely inviting with the fire pit and hot tub. The finishes throughout give the home a warm and cottage feeling. Highly Recommend! Erica and Alyssa have done an excellent job with the home and their responsiveness and communication are excellent. Despite our last minute booking, they still took the time to provide us with donuts from the local bakery, cider from a local provider and hand write a card for our family! Thank you for making our trip to South Haven a great one!"
"Marlowe’s Haven was heaven! We were so lucky to find Erica and Alyssa’s listing after our accommodations fell through. From the moment we arrived to a handwritten note, fresh flowers and seasonal treats from our lovely hosts to the moment we checked out, all was perfect. They have lovingly restored this quaint and cozy home, sparing no detail! The beds were comfy, the water pressure great, and the kitchen and baths have every amenity and detail you could possibly need! It was a little chilly the weekend of our visit, so we didn’t use the outdoor space much, but it is lovely, private and equipped with a brand new hot tub! The location is a three minute drive or 15 minute walk to downtown SoHa, and the hosts provided a great list of their favorite spots. Erica and Alyssa were very communicative and quick to respond. All in all, this is one of the most well-appointed homes I’ve ever rented! We have a family home in South Haven, so I may not need to stay at Marlowe’s Haven again, but I definitely will recommend it to anyone visiting the area! Thanks for everything, Erica and Alyssa!"
"Top notch hosts, beautiful house with a very convenient location for walking to town and the lake. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and very clean house. We really enjoyed our stay."
"Super cute, cozy house. Great location, close to town, shops & restaurants. Cute farm stand a few blocks away for some local produce and treats. House was clean, well equipped with everything we needed. Would absolutely return to this rental!"
"The house is immaculate, well equipped, modern interior, all appliances and bathrooms in very good working condition, loads of towels, and comfortable. Great location to the charming downtown, the magnificent lake, and beautiful hiking trails."
"Our stay at Erica & Alyssa's house was nothing but a positive experience. Their thoughtfulness in not only the decor but the amenities (pack and play, kid friendly utensils and plates, high chair, beach parasols, beach chairs, firewood, fully equipped kitchen, plenty of towels) made our stay so easy, convenient, and fun. With small children, it was tough to walk to the beach but it was a VERY short drive. The beds were very comfortable - if are you looking for a weekend getaway to South Haven, look no further than Marlowe's Haven."
"We had a great stay and Erica &Alyssa are amazing hosts. They have thought of everything and then some to ensure your experience is easy and comfortable. House was amazing, clean and beautifully decorated. Outdoor space is so great at nights!"
"We loved our stay at Erica & Alyssa’s home. The house was beautifully decorated and comfortable, but more important had all the amenities for a family getaway at the beach: bikes, beach toys, towels and a beautiful backyard. The location was perfect to - close to a grocery store, walking distance to downtown, and a quick bike ride to the beach:)"
"The house was awesome! About a 25-20 minute walk from the main town. Clean comfy beds. Updated kitchen with everything we needed, even had a waffle maker for breakfast and they had coffee cups. The outdoor area was great. Would stay here again."
"Hi! We loved your place!The upstairs is pretty hard to cool, but it’s a clean and lovely home. We hope to stay again! Hope you liked the note my daughter left. Thanks again!"
"Great updates house that was very clean and inviting to stay. Well appointed rooms and decorated very well. Family had a great time and they went above and beyond providing a few little items for our young kids to enjoy while we stayed."
"Wow!!! Erica + Alyssa’s beautiful home has ranked #1 of all of our stays. Every single detail is amazing! This house is stunningly designed!! All we had to bring is clothes, they took care of EVERYTHING else! Amazing communication from these sweet girls!! We will be back!!! Thank you ladies!!!!"
"Beautifully decorated, super clean, and a great location close to downtown South Haven. Erica and Alyssa were very communicative and great hosts!"
"This home is incredible!! The hosts did an absolutely amazing job of thinking of every detail, from s’mores fixings and board games to kids toys and makeup towels, and everything in between! The place looks brand new and it’s truly a Chip & Joanna Gaines paradise. Erica and Alyssa were also very responsive when we had questions prior to our stay and I’m sure they would have been very accommodating during our stay had we needed to reach out - but we didn’t need to! They literally thought of everything. We’ll be going back as soon as we can!"
"We had the most wonderful time here! The house is as beautiful as it is comfortable and functional. Everything you need for a great get-away and beach vacation. Erica and Alyssa were excellent hosts and responded right away to any questions we had. They made us feel welcomed and right at home from the moment we arrived. Can’t say enough good things! And we can’t wait to come back again next summer!"
"We had a really good stay at Erica and Alyssa’s house. The house was very clean and well stocked. Communication with the owners was excellent and very fast. The backyard patio and firepit were particularly nice. I brought some firewood with us but they had a fairly large stack available for use. They also provided a beach cart, umbrella and a couple of chairs for use at the beach. We didn’t use them but there were several bikes available in the garage…it would be an easy and short cycle into the downtown area. Overall, we were very pleased with the rental and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others."
"A great place to call home away from home. Everything we needed. Our girls loved the little playroom. They loved reading new books at night. We enjoyed going on bike rides too! Not a bad thing to say. We will definitely be back."
"We had an amazing stay over the weekend in late July. The home is recently remodeled and they did an amazing job with the remodel! Erica and Alyssa left fresh cut flowers and other nice touches that we really appreciated. It is just a short car ride to the beach and downtown South Haven. We would definitely recommend!"
"We stayed here July 14-17 for my daughters 18th birthday celebration. She invited 5 friends up to celebrate with her. The house is absolutely adorable (the teal fridge and matching oven were the girls favorite things), and impeccable. Super clean and attention has been paid to every detail. The backyard was also a favorite, and the girls loved that they could hop on the bikes and ride downtown. The house is the perfect distance to downtown and the beach, but the location is quiet and private. 100% would recommend and will be returning next year. Thank you so much!"
