Old/New Adventure at bed and breakfast

My wife and I have not stayed in a B & B in over 30 years, so we were a bit hesitant to book one. I'm not going to lie, it was a little nerve racking. But after staying at numerous hotels and motels (large and small) across the country we elected to try a B & B and were excited to experience a new/old adventure. We immediately fell in love with this place and the owners upon arrival. We met both of the owners during our stay (and in town) and they were great! The beds were comfy. The common areas were spacious and we loved the neon signage. The view of the lake from the rooms and porch offered a spectacular sunset and a great place to sip coffee and chill. We were just a short walk to the beach and to the river. Very accommodating and welcoming property and I would definitely recommend staying here if the opportunity presents itself.

Last minute get away. Always a great, clean and comfy stay. Lake Michigan was in sight and could see the sun set from our room

Owners where very friendly and were accommodating as we had needed to make a last minute change. Loved this quaint B & B and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, picturesque place to stay just a short walk from Lake Michigan.

Amazing.

This place is amazing! It has been remodeled since our last trip here, and is even more amazing. The staff is very friendly and helpful! So close to the beach, and to the downtown shops.

Happy place

Service was remarkable and even called me to say we could check in early when ch meant I didn't have to wear my bathing suit on the 2 1/2 hr drive since restrooms closed at the beach. Always asked if he could do anything for us. Place is so comfortably and newly decorated. A few more upgrades will be done. Breakfast is a little too Gordon Foods for me though fresh fruit is available. Would like yogurt, hard boiled eggs, bagels, Bundes... Had a great view of Marina with a balcony. So relaxing, friendly, convenient to beach. Perfect get away.

10/10 Exceptional

We really liked the ambience of Waters View Inn as the breakfast was very good with homemade items and very good coffee. Our host Kevin had a great personality and made us feel very welcome. I didn’t like our room size but we had a room they are going to revamp. The bathroom and room were very small and outdated.
Todd, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We loved the location and the view. Staff is very nice. The only thing we didn't like is we didn't know we were located on the 3rd floor. We are in our mid 60's and it was difficult getting all our suitcases and stuff up the 3 flights of stairs. Otherwise, it was a wonderful place to stay.
Terry, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is a charming B&B that is getting some much needed updates. I think after all the rooms are updated (our room had not yet been updated) this will be an excellent B&B! It served our needs for a 2 night and 3 day stay. We loved the area too.

Quaint with Amazing location

This is a really quaint place to stay in South Haven. You cannot beat the location, one block in from the water and one block away from the public entrance of south beach. The exterior is lovely (the grass needs some tending to) but the main lobby has been renovated and is really beachy and friendly feeling. Breakfast in the morning was simple but did the trick. We had an older room, which met our needs but was a bit outdated. That said, some rooms are newer and looked beautiful. Make sure you inquire about that. All in all, really happy with our decision to stay here - location is also an 8 minute walk to downtown where all the restaurants are and a very delicious bakery across the street. Highly recommend!

10/10 Exceptional

Waters View had much more character than a motel-modern comforts in a place that maintains the charm of its history. Our family of 4 stayed in the two bedroom Listiak for two nights. The accommodations were reasonably priced and spotless. The Inn was relaxing and peaceful, the beds were comfortable, and the coffee and morning treats were delicious. We enjoyed our walks over the drawbridge to see South Beach and grab a bite for dinner, but LOVED that Waters View is an extremely convenient short distance from North Beach. It was a great stay!
Pamela, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff was wonderful -- pleasant, friendly and helpful. The chef was also very friendly and quite talented; the food was excellent. There were many "extras" for the guests left in the common areas, and always more than enough for everyone. The Inn is dated, and I would question some of the choices made by whoever designed the renovations, but we were pleased with our stay overall.

Fell extremely short in the "breakfast" category.

Everyone was so kind! Me and my boyfriend are 18 and we were never treated as if we were so young. Treated us like everyone else. Made us feel very welcome. Was an amazing experience and an amazing place to have our first vacation together.

Walkable to North Beach. Very nice breakfasts and setting. Let us park in their lot throughout the day after we had checked out. Thank you! Small rooms, a bit dingy. Old spotted carpet. TV in room didn’t work.

Definitely not as advertised.

Not at all what we expected. All kinds of inconveniences like no plugs or you can use them crawling under things to reach to any kind of plug all the sinks the faucets turn so close to the sink you couldn’t get your hands under it. One of the sinks still had spit on it from the last person to brush their teeth before us. Could not recommend this for the price at all
Susan, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

This place is in desperate need of an update. We stayed in a suite advertised as family friendly but there were lots of hazards that were dangerous to children. In the bathroom, they had this tub that just dropped from the floor that was 4 feet deep. They also had a second shower in the bathroom that was out of use, so it was just blocked off by a tall folding mirror. In the kitchen, they had a power outlet extending over the sink. It was at risk of getting soaked every time you used it. On the porch, there were some broken sections with nails sticking out. We found out by one of our children stepping on it. I know it’s an old building, but you can keep the character and get the updates that should be made just so it’s to code. There is no way this room would have passed. The bed and breakfast kitchen backs up to our room and I believe there is no oven vent. Our room smelled of old sausage grease the whole time. It’s so bad, it was coating the dishes we used. Every drink in thier glasses tasted like the old sausage grease. The food they served had this wierd taste as well. They serve a breakfast, and were very considerate of our requests. Unfortunately it was ruined by this grease taste. The dishes they served with were also not clean. I had to rewash everything. I will say, the staff and owner were very kind and accommodating. The condition of thier place was definitely keeping this it from being something special.
