The Lookout | Riverfront Condo in Downtown South Haven | Near Lake Michigan

Featured Amenities:

Sunset Viewing Deck Overlooking the Black River
Steps from all of Downtown South Haven's Local Shops & Tastes
A Stone's Throw from the Shores of Lake Michigan
Cozy Fireplace Perfect for Quiet Morning Reads
Open Concept Design to Never Miss a Moment
Shared Outdoor Grill for Summer Cookouts
Beach Essentials Included for Lazy Days by the Lake

They call it The Lookout, and within minutes of arriving you’ll understand why. From the shared deck perched above the Black River, you’re placed right at the edge of it all. Sailboats drift past as if time doesn’t matter. Kayakers paddle lazily toward the harbor, waving to neighbors along the docks. Even the ducks seem to know there’s no hurry here. The river sets the rhythm—slow, steady, unbothered—and before long, so do you.

Step inside and you’ll find a home that has been thoughtfully refreshed in the past two years. New craftsman-style exterior doors welcome you in, while updated matte black hardware throughout eliminates the dated brass and gives every room a polished look. Safety and comfort have been prioritized with a new water heater and a full system of wireless interconnected smoke + CO detectors.

The Master Suite has been refreshed for true relaxation, paired with an updated Master Bath where clean lines and modern touches elevate your stay. The kitchen has also been improved, making casual meals or full-family dinners easy to enjoy. Every bathroom has been upgraded with new showerheads and comfort-height, powerflush toilets for an elevated guest experience.
Living spaces now feel brighter and more inviting, from the living room and dining room updates to refreshed details at the entry. The bunk suites have been reimagined for families—larger bunks give teens plenty of space to stretch out, while smaller bunks create cozy hideouts for younger kids. They’ve become natural gathering spots for late-night hangouts, card games, and whispered stories long after lights-out.

And of course, the best “room” in the house remains the deck. Morning coffee as the town wakes up, afternoons recapping beach adventures, and evenings with a glass of wine as the lights ripple across the river—you’ll find yourself drawn back again and again.

Just blocks from downtown South Haven’s shops, restaurants, and the lighthouse, The Lookout offers the best of both worlds: a home full of modern upgrades and comforts, paired with the timeless pace of life on the Black River.

Spacious, beautiful master, ground level unit, with a great deck.

Our stay was for the most part wonderful, 2nd bathroom was great. Very spacious unit and love the kitchen, appliances are older but all work well. Master bath needs a mat in the tub to take a shower it becomes very slippery when wet. The 1st shower off the foyer is leaking quite bad on the left and the wood trim.

Our recent stay

This condo is in a perfect location. The place was just as advertised, and my family and I really enjoyed our stay. The unit was very big (almost too big for a family of 4), but was very happy because we all had a lot of space. Will definitely book Colonial Condos again.

South Haven Fun

The location of the property is top notch. We could easily walk to North Beach and take a stroll on both piers. It’s so nice to be so close to downtown and never get in your car again if you don’t want to! The condo was a lovely size for all 6 of us. The balcony to watch the bridge and boats is a great perk. It’s an old building so has the old charm.
