The Space:

This charming bungalow is contemporary, bright, and inviting. A wonderful location on the south side of South Haven - Van Buren Street homes are highly-coveted vacation spots and get scooped up fast! 

 

You will feel right at home in this stylish, sunny bungalow! The fresh, lovely kitchen will lure you into cooking, and the three-season room will be calling you after a day at the beach to curl up with a book and people watch. 



Beach access is just two blocks away! Situated on a bluff, this public access is scenic and spectacular! Wonderful views, easy stair access, and located a bit further south down the beach to give you a little more room to spread your beach blanket out! Kid's Corner Park is three blocks away - a great place to picnic under the lush trees while the kids run and play.



A mere six-block walk to town - it's a charming stroll through South Haven's beach-home neighborhoods - where vacationers abound and the feel of summer fun and relaxation is palpable! 



A shopper's delight awaits with many eclectic boutiques to choose from. Grab a bite to eat at the diverse restaurants South Haven has to offer. Stroll through the bountiful farmer's market on Saturdays. Feeling adventurous? Head over to Water Street and book a fishing excursion! The choices are nearly endless!



Wind down in the evenings with a short walk from your cottage to the bluff for the spectacular sunsets, then head home to your private backyard, light the gas lanterns, whip up a cocktail at the patio bar, and fire up the chiminea!



Please note: this home has a charcoal grill. Bring your own briquettes!

Very nice location, and accurate to listing. We like to cook, so small kitchen was a challenge.

Very nice accommodations. Small kitchen, and would have been nice to have some sort of hammock on outside patio. I would rent the space again. Thank you

Excellent home with fine location

Everything was very clean with many extras -- garage has beach chairs, children's beach toys, grill, fire pit, and a well-equipped kitchen. The South Beach is just 3 1/2 blocks away; 5-6 blocks to downtown; quiet attractive neighborhood. We rented excellent bikes from Rock and Road and had terrific biking on great rail to trail trails readily accessible.

First and probably last rental with VRBO

Moved to a different property due to roof leaks. Second property not ready for guests. No internet TV, mold in bathtub and ants in bedroom. Water pipe replacement in street prior to arrival meant dug up road and cones everywhere. Had to let water run every time a tap turned on to remove brown water. Property management company were as helpful and communicative as possible however. Despite this it’s certainly put me off ever renting again.
