It is a quintessential cottage. As others have commented, the cottage was well stocked with everything needed to cook just about anything. It is just a short distance to the beach and easy to find your way to South Beach. We spent an entire afternoon and evening on the beach. Great photo op for sunsets.

This house is comfortable and charming. Inside there is every little thing you might need and outside is a quiet and comfortable place to read in the hammock or eat supper under the trees. The walk to the beach is good; the beach is wonderful; and we will definitely be back!

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 getaway

We had a nice short getaway. The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Loved the beach as well. I did not have any cell phone service at the house or beach. Besides that a very nice stay.

Great spot!

Some vacation rentals are pretty sparse with what's provided - this one had everything we needed! Great place with lots of bonuses (outside shower, grill, hammock, horseshoes, fire pit) and close to the beach. We had a great time!

Small cottage. Drove to the private beach. Great for rock collectors. Bring water shoes. Could use a bit more privacy off back deck. Had to clean the outsider shower, so worth it!

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.

Little Blue is the get a way you don’t know you need. The charming little cottage is packed full of beach gear and outdoor entertainment. The private beach is wonderful, but South Beach isn’t a far drive either! Don’t worry about not having internet, it’s a great place to unplug and spend quality time with your family!

Quiet area

Nice home. Had everything we needed and more. No WIFI, but we knew that. Also no cell service in that area unless you get lucky once in a while. Private beach area is nice, just a bit of a walk. Sunsets nice at the overlook area. Refrigerator needed a good cleaning and expired condiments thrown out. Plenty of outdoor seating and nice having a gas grill. Thanks for a great stay!

Great place to stay

This is a great spot - it's a very cozy, well maintained house with everything we needed. So nice to have central air and great ceiling fans, too. No wifi but we had decent phone signal. Beach access is a 15 min walk away. The only downside was the sofa bed was very uncomfortable (luckily we brought our own airbed as a backup), and at one point the coffee pot malfunctioned and spilled everywhere. The other beds were very comfortable and we appreciated the well supplied kitchen. Beautiful spot!

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!
