No need to read any other reviews. Don't waste your time with this place. It is awful and overpriced for what it is. My husband booked Tusken House #1 for several days when he couldn't find anything else in the area. There is a reason this was the only room left in town. We arrived after 11 PM as we took our time coming up and stopped at various towns along our trip from Illinois. The door was unlocked (as expected), all the lights were on, and our last name was written on the white board. I really didn't like that part due to safety. Nobody needs to know our last name and what is there to stop anyone from the street who knows the operations from entering and taking one of the two keys left inside? The "cottage room" had the smallest bathroom ever, right off the kitchen. There is no way two people can get ready at the same time. The curtains were wide open and were a complete joke. They were sheer, so everyone could see in while the lights were on. Not so much a big deal until we needed to get changed for bed, or dressed in the morning. The only two places to do that with privacy were the large closet, which was bigger than the bathroom, and the miniature bathroom, that is so small my 6th grader even had to dress in the shower. The main room had a chair that was filthy and it had a stain left from someone who needed a shower who instead sat on it naked. I'd leave it to your imagination, but I took pictures to post as proof. The futon was in worse condition than the one I had in my college days, but the main room was the only room with a window A/C unit and a ceiling fan, so that's where I slept. While some rooms on the website show ceiling fans above the beds, this is purposefully cropped because the bedroom was beyond stuffy on a hot, sticky summer night. My husband slept in one bed and my son in the other. They slept with the door open in hopes of getting the air to circulate into the bedroom, but it wasn't a large enough window unit for two rooms. Additionally, because this is an old house, the electricity should have been updated. Instead, there were multiple extension cords for the window unit and lamps. In the bedroom there even more extension cords for the lamps and clock, and no place to plug in a charger. It amazes me that this place hasn't had an electrical fire. It was actually quite worrisome. The kitchen had a coffee machine and I finally found coffee in the cabinet, but there were no coffee mugs. The toiletries included body soap and shampoo. No conditioner. They said they don't supply conditioner. What? I found that our when we had to call for a hair dryer that didn't exist either. The reviews all over the internet about this place rave about the pool. Well, the sold the pool last year. They conveniently did NOT mention this when my husband booked the room. The back of the house is gated off and locked with do not trespass signs posted everywhere. There was no mention of the pool in the note left on the desk by the keys, yet there is still a picture of the pool hanging in the main office behind the desk where we took the keys when we checked out first thing in the morning. The parking for this house had three spots as there are three different rental spaces. The people in the second unit had a very large pick up truck that was not parked in the center of their space and our spot mark for unit 1, has the back of the a/C unit in the way, in addition to needing to drive over the grass to get into a spot. It was useless. Thankfully there was plenty of street parking across the street. No car could have parked there with the window air conditioner in the way, not even a smaller compact car. Thankfully they found someone else to book the room so we weren't changed two more nights. We would have had the credit card company disputed it if they had. This was that bad. They are clearly hurting for money, selling the pool and several of the properties had for sale signs in f

When I first moved to Grand Haven I needed a temporary place until I found an apartment. I met Sheila through a mutual friend, and she set me up with a small apartment at Serendipity, which she manages. I had the top (third floor) spot in the main building (corner of 2nd and Franklin). It was so cool, with wood paneling that made it feel like a cabin.

Great location right in the middle of downtown to it is an easy walk to the main area of Grand Haven. The rooms are all converted houses that could use a little updating, but the place is super clean and the staff was extremely friendly.

Quaint and with Colonial charm. The apartment Suite that we stayed in was clean and the location was amazing, within a few minutes walk of the main street with multiple restaurants and shops. Beach and Lighthouse Pier were also about 15 minutes walking distance, but we elected to drive there instead because of all of our beach supplies. The apartment is in need of some upkeep, some of the floors are cracked should be considered for repair or replacement. Also, I booked this place thinking we could use the pool as it was mentioned in multiple other reviews. However the pool is now private property and we are unable to use it. Begs the question of how this place can be labeled as a "Resort". I would consider staying here again, but not before checking out other options.

We love Grand Haven and have stayed at different places near the waterfront. This place is pricey for what you get. We stayed in the Carriage House. Pros: The folks were friendly at Serendipity and the rooms (& floors) were clean. In fact the floors looked brand new. Kitchen had most needed dishes. Water pressure was great. Coffee was provided. WiFi was great. Cons: Some upkeep is needed. The corner shower had a shower curtain that would not stay in placement which provided a unique showering experience. The room did not have a hair dryer or iron and I did not think to look until getting ready in the morning. Staff was not available until 10am so I went to church a little unkept. We also had no salt and pepper. The doors and walls are thin and every bump in the hallway or door closed was heard. I am unsure if we will return.

Great place! Great location and neighborhood very close walking distance to downtown. The room was clean and comfortable; perfect for our two night stay. The staff was great and mailed a watch that we left behind. We would definitely recommend this place for a stay in Grand Haven.
