Beautiful House/Close 2 Lake/Beachfront Access/Great for Families/Outdoor Space

Welcome to our beautiful, brand-new home in South Haven, Michigan, finished in June 2023. This spacious 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom house is perfect for families looking for a relaxing getaway just minutes from downtown South Haven and only steps from Lake Michigan. With private beach access, it’s ideal for making memories by the water while enjoying the peaceful charm of this quiet, rural neighborhood.

The house is designed with families in mind. On the main floor, you'll find a master suite with a king-sized bed and private bathroom, two additional bedrooms with queen-sized beds, and a shared bathroom. The living room is cozy and equipped with streaming services and board games, making it a great spot for everyone to gather. The kitchen and dining area come fully stocked with all the modern amenities, so you can enjoy home-cooked meals during your stay.

Upstairs, there’s a second living room that's perfect for kids or as an extra private space. Two more bedrooms are up here, each with a full and twin bed, plus there’s a queen pull-out couch for additional sleeping options. A full bathroom and a DVD player with over 100 DVDs make this space a fun hangout for the family.

Outdoor space is one of the best features of this home. You can relax on the large front deck, spend time around the backyard fire pit (with complimentary wood), or enjoy meals in the screened-in patio right off the kitchen. The backyard has plenty of space for outdoor games, and there’s a brand-new gas grill for those summer BBQs.

Our house is the third one from Lake Michigan, and we provide access to a small, private beach via stairs or a tram. We’ll provide you with the gate code for the stairs and a key for the tram, making it easy to enjoy the beach even with all your gear. There is a beautiful, brand-new path along the bluff that leads to the entrance of the stairs/tram providing stunning views and peaceful setting but we do provide an electric golf cart for easy access. Watching the sunset from the bluff is a must-do, and we provide beach and bag chairs for you to take along and relax.

We know how important it is to have all the little things covered, so we provide essentials like toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher soap, and more. There is reliable WiFi to keep you connected, and we have TVs in both living rooms. We’ve also stocked the house with fun extras like board games, spikeball, cornhole, beach chairs, a YETI cooler, and a variety of other amenities.

Parking is a breeze with a long driveway that fits up to four cars. The house is equipped with central air conditioning and heat to keep you comfortable no matter the season, and we also provide a washer, dryer, iron, and steamer for your convenience.

When you’re ready to explore, downtown South Haven is just an 8-minute drive away, where you’ll find shops, restaurants, and both North and South Beach. Saugatuck-Douglas is only 15 minutes away, and you can visit downtown Holland in about 30 minutes. For everyday necessities, Walmart, Meijer, and more are just 8 minutes from the house.

There are plenty of activities nearby, from fishing and watersports to hiking, shopping, golfing, wineries, and even skiing and snowboarding in the winter months. You’ll be close to everything while enjoying a peaceful retreat by the lake.

As hosts, we take pride in offering a personal touch. We’re a family renting out our own property, not a rental company, so we’re always available if you need anything during your stay. Feel free to reach out with any questions, and we’ll make sure your vacation is everything you hoped for.

Please note, we do not allow pets or parties at our home, as we are in a quiet neighborhood with noise restrictions after 10pm. We ask all guests to be respectful of our peaceful surroundings.

We’d love to share our home with you and help make your South Haven vacation unforgettable. For a better look at the property, check out our video tour here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4BPLvVPbO8.

Just the place for a family get-together!

Great space, great location, great bluffs/beach! For sure the ideal place for my siblings and I to spend time last week! Everything about it was perfect, and the sunset from the bluff was incomparable!! Thanks again!!

August 2024 Stay

Very nice new home. Host Kim very responsive and considerate. Had 15 for a cookout and plenty of room for all. Loved the screened-in porch which was a quiet and comfortable escape hatch! Location is great, just a few miles from South Haven's fabulous beaches. Local beach is fairly limited. A little pricey but it's August in Michigan!

Comfy Cottage In Beautiful Setting

Attractive comfortable cottage with large island in the kitchen that made food prep very enjoyable. Loved the screened in porch. Private beach nearby which was breathtaking. Nine minutes from downtown South Haven and North Beach. Scenic area to walk or run.

Great weekend away

The house was perfect and the owners were so helpful. This might have been the best house rental experience I've ever had. Everything was exactly as listed. The neighborhood was so nice. They have a private beach the next street over. The views from the bluff were just breathtaking. We spent a lot of time in the screened in porch. A perfect spot for our big group.

Very spacious, near everything!

The house had enough space for our 3 families, even with the 6 kids in the house. Kitchen was complete with everything you will need. Talked to Kim with some issues which were and will be addressed. Hopefully the area/bluff gets eventually fixed for a shorter walk to the beach.

Fantastic, new summer vacation beach house for a large family

We had a large group of 12, including 4 families with people from age 12 to 70. This house was perfect. Being brand new construction it was obviously the cleanest home we’ve ever rented for a summer vacation. All of us slept great with the new beds, we absolutely loved the screened in rear porch, and there was plenty of space to spread out. There were several evenings where we had three different groups playing different games at the same time, and we still had the upstairs living space available for a fourth game! The front porch was also great, and a place where we could relax and read or nap whenever we wanted. We spent a lot of time at the private neighborhood beach. While there were several other family groups down there, it never felt crowded. The sandbar about 100 feet offshore was awesome for all ages, and we found nearly 500 pieces of beautiful beach/sea glass, Petosky stones, and other cool fossils for our collection. Since the primary lakeshore road has eroded into Lake Michigan, we had to walk north around to the next street to get to the steps down to the beach. While there were a lot of steps, these were the best I’ve ever seen on a bluff. They are high quality aluminum with multiple handrails, which made it much easier to traverse. We brought paddle boards and all kinds of beach stuff up and down them daily. Kim was fantastic. Always available to answer questions and very friendly every step of the way. Would definitely rent this house again.

50th Anniversary Gathering

Beautiful space to gather together and to take time apart— just what a family needs! Tea and coffee on the screened in porch in the morning, drinks, dinner, games in the evening— that porch is fabulous! Birds singing, deer stopping by, beautiful lake sunset less than a block away, swimming at the beach down a few stairs(!), or a short drive away. We had a great time.
