Grand Haven Runabout

This property was amazing. It was super clean and had all the amenities that we needed. It was great to have enough towels for all the guests. That isn't always the case! There was a beautiful firepit with plenty of wood. The shed was packed with bikes and other fun things to use if you wanted. The front porch was fantastic. It was close to shopping and the lake front. We absolutely loved it!

Good size for a group near downtown

There was enough space for a big group to stay together near downtown. A couple of the bedrooms are a little tight and quirky, but it worked for sleeping. The two double beds actually felt larger than doubles and the pillows were very comfortable. Plenty of towels were provided for everyone to shower and the toilet paper was very well stocked as well. The kitchen, dining room and living room had nice flow for us all to eat together or lounge around watching TV. We especially liked the big front porch and screen door for having coffee and relaxing outside. The back yard is nice too, but we mostly used the front porch so that we could still talk to our friends inside. The neighborhood is pretty quiet and even though there's a train track near the house, I never heard it come by. The house is a short walk to bars and restaurants downtown, though you'd probably want to drive to the beach with little kids. Checking in and out was easy and the host was easy to contact if needed. We had a great stay for a weekend.

Family Time

We stayed for a week at the RunAbout resort and loved our stay! House was charming, comfortable and clean! Back yard and fire pit were perfect for our family gathering. Location was perfect! Walkable to “downtown strip!” The bikes of all sizes and bike trailer made it so easy to ride to the beach! We loved riding the boardwalk to the pier and playground. The house was well stocked and cozy! Best rental home we have ever stayed in and can’t wait to come back!

Great home

This home is very clean and well stocked. Easy to find and to check in and out. Front porch and back yard offer great space to hang out. 3 large bedrooms plus two other possible sleeping areas. (one with a fold out twin love seat and the other with a futon, either option intended for child or small person) We easily walked to the Riverwalk area. Based on other reviews, we thought we would be within an easy walking distance of the state park.... should have been more careful reading posting as it says 3 minute drive. We felt 1.5 miles was too far for walking each way with chairs, etc . :( Overall it was a great trip, great house.

Wonderful Wedding Weekend

Spent the weekend in Beach Haven for a family wedding and the home was perfect. Great location (5 blocks from water) and a beautiful home. The space was exactly as listed and had everything we needed. Enjoyed breakfast on the front porch and evening smores by the fire pit. Communication with Britta was easy and timely. Will definitely be back the next time we are in the area.

Grand Haven Vacation

Runabout Resort is a fabulous property, within walking distance to Grand Haven shopping, restaurants, the boardwalk and pier. We love to read on the cute front porch, and enjoy the backyard space grilling, eating outside, and throwing beanbags for corn hole. We enjoy taking a bike ride to the Farmer’s Market and riding along the channel. There is plenty of bedroom space and a large dining table. The house is well equipped with all you might need. We love the hosts and plan to come back next year!

Perfect in every way

We enjoyed this home in every way. The home had everything we needed from good beds, well appointed bathrooms and kitchen to a wonderful front porch and backyard that was well used and enjoyed by everyone in our group. The factor that put this property into our very top rating however, was the location. It was wonderful to be able to walk to the historic downtown, the boardwalk and the fountain. The town was a great location with plenty to enjoy. We would all love to return for another visit. Thanks for creating such a lovely vacation rental. One of the best I've ever stayed in.

Family reunion

We were up there for a family reunion. Each family had their own place. Everyone agreed ours was the most comfortable and complete. Everything you could possibly want was in the kitchen. All the bedrooms were great with comfortable beds. Great for walking into town or the boardwalk. A bit far from the beach at the state park but just a quick car ride. We hosted a birthday party cookout one night. A fire pit party another night. And lots of sleepovers for the kids. One of the other family’s shared our meals every night. We had a wonderful time
