The Hideaway | Downtown Riverfront Condo | Close to the Lake Michigan Shoreline
Featured Amenities:
Stunning River Views from the Black River Centrally Located Near all of Downtown SoHa's Local Shops and Tastes Moments Away from South Haven's Famous Beaches Vibrant Lake-themed Interiors Complementing for Your SoHa Excursion Spacious Layout for the Whole Family to Enjoy Shared Outdoor Grill for Summer Cookouts with Loved Ones Cozy Fireplace for Quiet Morning Reads by the Fire
Tucked along the winding Black River, where sailboats drift by like lazy clouds and the drawbridge lifts with a gentle nod to the day, The Hideaway at Colonial Condominiums is your front-row seat to the magic of South Haven. Mornings here begin on the communal deck, coffee in hand, as the harbor stirs to life - Fishermen cast off, the bridge tender waves, and the town slowly stretches awake. By evening, that same perch transforms into the perfect spot to grill, sip something cold, and watch the twinkle of downtown nightlife come alive like fireflies.
Inside, the living space is made for easy living and long laughs. A cozy fireplace anchors the open floor plan, inviting you to kick off your shoes and settle in after a sun-soaked day at the beach. Whether you're wrapped in a throw with a book from Black River Books, queuing up a movie marathon, or retelling stories from a day spent exploring, this is where memories take root.
The dining table - Elegant, spacious, and glowing beneath warm light fixtures - Sets the stage for pancake breakfasts, lakeside picnic prep, or full-blown feasts with local finds from the Farmers Market. Just steps away, the newly updated kitchen offers everything you need to channel your inner chef (or heat up that irresistible pizza from Maria’s Taste of Italy). With a generous island and modern amenities, it’s just as happy to host a family breakfast as it is a snack-fueled game night.
When it’s time to drift off, each bedroom is its own little haven. The Master Queen Suite offers a private escape, complete with a spa-inspired bathroom perfect for unwinding beneath a rainfall shower. Another Queen Suite brings breezy calm and plenty of storage for beach bags and boutique finds, while the den-turned-guestroom is a quiet hideout by day and a storybook sleepover nook by night, thanks to a plush sleeper sofa and tucked-away charm.
But truly, the real adventure begins just beyond your door.
With the Black River at your feet and Lake Michigan just around the bend, you’re within strolling distance of North Beach’s sandy shores, Dykman Beach’s sunset scenes, and South Beach’s candy-colored lighthouse views. Cross the drawbridge and you’re in the heart of downtown - Think candy shops, craft breweries, quirky boutiques, and ice cream cones from Sherman’s that drip faster than you can eat them. Fancy a pedal-powered outing? The Kal-Haven Trail calls, winding past fields and forests and whispering "just one more mile."
At The Hideaway, the beauty is in the blend: a peaceful nest to call your own, wrapped in the buzz and brilliance of South Haven at its most enchanting. Whether you're here for barefoot mornings, beach-day picnics, or moonlit strolls past boats bobbing in the harbor, this is where your South Haven story unfolds - One joyful, lakeside moment at a time.
Parking: Parking passes for 2 vehicles across the street Pets: None Allowed Beach Access: Easy access to North Beach and Dykman beach via the draw bridge Rental Certificate Number: CBR24-0403

Updated and spacious condo in a great location. Walking distance to restaurants and beach. Fit our group of 8 no problem. Nice community deck that overlooks the harbor. Only issues are there’s only one shower (master bath has a bathtub only), there were some stains on the carpet and it’s right in the path of late night passing by revelers from nearby bars (so it can be loud until after 2am on a Saturday night). Overall, it’s a nice place in a great location, but my family and I would avoid the weekend if we stay here again.

We had a wonderful time on our family vacation. Great location, we loved sitting on the deck. It might be worth putting a bed in the 3rd bedroom vs the pull out sofa.

Could have been better
We had a decent stay in this rental unit, but were generally unimpressed and would not stay here again. First the good things. It was very clean and the location is great if you're primarily interested in spending time downtown. But it's located next to some of the most popular bars and there is a lot of noise as people make their way home at 1 am. And those voices seem like they are in two of the bedrooms. While there are two full bathrooms, only one of them has a shower, so the second one wasn't particularly useful for our family with teens. Finally, the property management company (Shores) could have been better. I received some info via email, different info via text, but none of the info was loaded into the VRBO app, which made finding info difficult. We weren't given any guidance on where to park for the full stay or temporarily to unload luggage and the parking lot next to the building was roped off when we arrived. Unnecessarily difficult. No late check out available even though it wasn't rented the next night. And when I asked to adjust the length of the stay before the deadline to make changes, I was initially told no changes were possible. It was only after I pointed to the VRBO terms that they issued a partial refund. We've been staying in VRBOs for more than a decade in South Haven and this was one of our least favorite.

Wonderful Location But parking was kinda odd
We really loved our stay, right on Black River, Walking distance to almost everything. Place was very clean, well stocked with essential items, layout was awesome.. We would definately consider staying here again. Only downside was the parking it was just in a usual place, across the street, there is a sign but it wasn't something that just sticks out. Other than that I highly recommend!

Overall impression
The property itself is very well-maintained clean with well appointed furniture and decorations. Unfortunately, I was never informed how to locate the property. I was only given an address and the term unit B, I couldn’t find a unit B, but after 30 minutes of searching, I found it. It would’ve been very helpful if specific directions were given to locate this unit. I contacted the emergency after hours telephone number in that our arrival was on Sunday. I explained to them I couldn’t find the unit and they said that is not an emergency. They said an emergency is only if there is a fire, gas, water, air conditioning, heat issue. Additionally, all the basics were present in the unit. We would have however, appreciated coffee, and associated condiments. Commonly coffee and a variety of spices are provided for cooking at other Verbo units. Also, my wife was unable to get into the bed in the primary bedroom. It was so high that they provided a steps tool to get in. Due to her fragility, she was not able to use the steps stool and get into the bed so we needed to use a secondary bedroom with a smaller bed. We wish we would’ve had that information prior to the booking. Overall, we highly recommend this property.

Nice property and location
Enjoyed our stay. Only suggestion would be to leave instructions for the television since there are multiple remotes and the deck could use an occasional cleaning. Otherwise, thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the location was great, close to both beaches, downtown and watering holes on the Black Rivier.
