Great house in a great location!
This house has been renovated from top to bottom and is very clean, which made us feel right at home. In all of my trips, I've never rented a house as well-stocked as this one. We also appreciated the helpful labels on lights and such. The backyard was so pretty and so relaxing. I only wish we had more time to enjoy it!

A great family vacation, where the owner thought of everything
We had an amazing few days in Grand Haven. The house was immaculately clean and comfortable. The owner thought of everything- from comfy beds, well planned outdoor space, and family games. The backyard is fenced, which we did not realize but were delighted to find as we brought our dogs and this made them more comfortable. She also provided blankets, chairs, a barbeque, and was a great communicator. The house is a few blocks away from downtown, which made for a quiet night's sleep and easy access to restaurants and fun.

Beautiful space
The property is in a great location to enjoy the highlights of Grand Haven. Beautiful updated kitchen with all needed supplies. Would have preferred a coffee pot rather than Keurig only, but it was sufficient. Lots of sleeping space! Both bathrooms on level one, making it a little longer trip at night. Beautiful outdoor space for gatherings. Overall, a great place to stay while visiting the area.

Loved this home!
This is the first property I’ve rented that was so well-prepared for its guests. From face wipes, shampoo, laundry detergent, coffee, and everything else in between, the owner made us feel very welcomed for this stay! The home was beautiful and with a GORGEOUS backyard! The location to downtown was great and we visited downtown every day. Walking to the beach was about 40 minutes so keep that in mind if you plan to stay here. We didn’t mind it—always a good excuse to stop at Dairy Treat for ice cream! The host was easy to get ahold of and we would highly recommend this home to any visitor of Grand Haven!

Love it Here!
We can't say enough good things about this house and our stay in Grand Haven. The location is located within walking distance of downtown and an easy drive to the beach. We love the updates to the kitchen and enjoy spending time in the backyard. Our six year old daughter and dog love it here as well. This was our third time staying at Carrie's and fourth time in Grand Haven - we love it so much, we plan to return again next summer.

Relaxing and fun getaway
We loved staying at the Terra Cotta Pearl! Our stay included myself, my husband, 2 children and our dog. The space was clean and inviting and the beds were comfortable, which is a big plus in my book! We never lacked for any amenities, finding everything we needed to feel at home. The location was superb - close to all the downtown shops and restaurants. We hope to visit again soon!

Annual Grand Haven Vacation
The host was very pleasant and easy to reach. The home was beautiful and well-stocked with kitchen tools, bathroom linens, and some toiletry items. The amenities were numerous, including beach towels, beach chairs, yard games, a gas fire table, grill, etc. All the items were in excellent condition (we have stayed at other homes that advertised items for use that were broken or not well maintained). The outdoor space is relaxing with water features and plenty of seating for outdoor gathering. We absolutely loved our stay!
