Heated Pool, Hot Tub, Walk to Town, Games & Pets!
Just minutes from South Haven’s sandy beaches and storybook downtown, Whispering Waves is more than a place to stay, it’s your launchpad for unforgettable moments. Sip coffee on the peaceful deck, soak in the sunshine by the lake, stroll into town for ice cream and lighthouse views, then wind down in the hot tub while the kids burn off energy in the fenced yard. At night? Settle in for family game nights, throwback arcade showdowns, and cozy movie marathons in not one, but two epic family rooms, each rocking a massive 75” TV. Beach days or snow days, this place delivers magic year-round.
Book your stay now and lock in your new favorite family tradition!
Explore South Haven, Local Flavor & Family Fun Boat tours on Lake Michigan. Berry picking at nearby farms. Sunset walks on the iconic pier. Waterfront restaurants with postcard views. And for the little ones? The splash pad near the marina is an instant favorite. If you love the outdoors, Kal-Haven Trail’s got you covered for biking, hiking, or a peaceful walk in any season.
It’s Not Just for Summer Winter in South Haven brings a whole new vibe, quiet, cozy, and packed with small-town charm. Cross-country ski or snowmobile the Kal-Haven Trail, ice skate downtown, hit the slopes at Timber Ridge or Bittersweet, or dive into vintage fun at Rocket Arcade. Then warm up at the Michigan Theatre with a movie and some popcorn.

What Guests Are Saying: Don’t take our word for it, hear it from the folks who’ve stayed:
"Anna’s place was a great place for our whole family (and their dogs) to gather for a long weekend. There was a fun tv and play room for the kids inside, and an awesome fenced in yard with a sandbox, swings, a slide, and an AMAZING heated pool. This place was great for a large group with a big dining table indoors and outdoors, a big couch with a tv where we could watch movies together, extra trundles, and plenty of adult and kid dishes." - Kayla
"Anna was attentive, always available, very open and reasonable with all requests. We came into town for a family gathering and she made sure we had everything that we needed and more. Expectations are transparent. Their home is absolutely gorgeous and so welcoming. I would stay here 100 times over." - Amanda
"Anna’s home was a wonderful place for our family to spend the weekend. The host was very responsive and helped us get access to the right TV app to watch our favorite football team. The heated pool, playscape, and sand box kept the kids happy for hours. This place has plenty of scape for a big family!" - Jason & Jodi

Great place to stay with large family!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The backyard amenities were great and plenty of places to sleep with little ones. Hope to come back soon!
Our group of 6 adults and 6 younger children enjoyed our stay for 5 nights. This house accommodates up to to 16 people. The backyard is fantastic. Dining room can seat 12. Kitchen is very well equipped. Parking for 4 vehicles. Family room is excellent. Laundry room is perfect. Vintage front porch. Comfortable beds. Very responsive owner.

Quickly planned family trip!
Family wanted an end of summer trip, so we found this big house and it worked out great! For two nights, there were 12 of us and they surprised us with a 50th Anniversary celebration on the large backyard covered deck. The house is older, but kept up well. With the 6 bedrooms, there were lots of comfortable bed choices. Kids loved the pool. The two living room areas with large TV’s were a nice option for such a large group. Owner was quick to respond to problems or questions. I prefer to be able to look out at the water since I spend most of my time in the house, but the family was content to walk or drive to the beach and town. Ate at Cranes Pies, and my favorite Clementines. All had an enjoyable time!

Weekend fun
Very nice Victorian era home. Everything worked as listed. It was reminiscent of our grandparents home where we grew up, but had lots of modern amenities as well:) Loved the garage “fun box” and corn hole boxes, bikes and wagon. Quiet neighborhood with lots of area homes undergoing refurbishment. Would recommend to a friend and would stay again. Maybe winter?

Awesome Beach Home!!!
Had an amazing time hanging out with family. It was the perfect home for a large group, spacious and there was something fun for the whole family to enjoy. We especially enjoyed the game room with fooseball and air hockey. It was easy to walk to both the beach and downtown. Easy communication with the hosts. We definitely will be back!
