You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

THE B-HIVE: 5 BDRMS. 3 FULL BATHS. ACCOMMODATES 11 GUESTS!

"THE B-HIVE"
98 Avery Street, South Haven, MI 49090
Accommodates eleven (11) guests in five bedrooms and three full bathrooms.

The 'B-Hive' is available for rent to mature, quiet, respectful and responsible families only. If you are looking for a place to let it all hang out, please continue your search as this is not the property for you. No bachelor nor bachelorette parties. No graduation parties. No parties!

Our home is ideally suited for families with young children as it is located just steps away from South Haven's beautiful North Beach. The key to this location is that there are no huge hills nor endless staircases to climb up and down when walking to and from the beach. This is an important detail many property owners forget to share when describing the location of their property!!!

The B-Hive has five (5) bedrooms with three (3) full bathrooms. The bedrooms consist of four queen beds and the fifth bedroom has a twin over full bunk bed. All of the rooms are tastefully decorated providing a comfortable feel throughout.

Please click on our up to date availability calendar to see if your desired dates are currently available.

New fixtures, finishes and furnishings! The house has been remodeled with new finishes and appliances while maintaining the feel of it's original character and architectural details. The outdoor patio is approximately 400 square feet and is perfect for a barbecue after a relaxing day at the beach. Within walking distance are several excellent restaurants, parks, shops, and the new municipal marina.

With something for everyone, the B-Hive is without question the best location for your family's summer vacation!

Please click on our availability calendar to see if your dates are available.

Three full baths!!! We often hear from our guests that previously rented homes that accommodate eleven (11) guests with only one or two bathrooms. Do not spend your vacation waiting in line to use the bathroom. The B-Hive has three beautiful bathrooms for your use. Two full bathrooms are located on the first floor and one full bathroom is located on the second floor. The first floor south bathroom is a private en-suite bath dedicated to that bedroom. There is also a 50 gallon, high efficiency, quick recovery hot water heater so the last of your group taking a shower does not have to do so with ice cold water. Just a few of the many details we paid attention to when remodeling the B-Hive.

Please click on our availability calendar to see if your dates are available.

No hills! No stairs! No bluffs!: Remember these words when booking your family's summer vacation. How relaxing is the vacation when you have to walk up an endless flight of stairs after a long relaxing day at the beach?

Please click on our up to date calendar to see if your desired dates are currently available.

Please note that rates and availability are subject to change without notice. The rates do not include cleaning and rental service fees. Please send us an inquiry for a quote for your desired dates.

Our Stay at the B-Hive

Great location!

We are a family with 6 adults, 3 kids 4,5,7 and an infant. The property was in a great location! Quick walk to beach even with small children! Easy walk to restaurants and shops. House was clean, had a well stocked kitchen, everything you need. The 3 full bathrooms were ideal for our family. The dining table and huge couch were perfect for us all to be together! The washer/dryer was a plus to wash suits and towels after the beach. The host was very responsive when we reached out. The middle upstairs bedroom was quite warm for sleeping, a fan was provided but a window air conditioner would be helpful. The mattress in that room is worn. We are a family that doesn’t wear shoes in the house so we thought a tall shoe rack would come in handy. To summarize, the bhive was a great choice and we would highly recommend it to other families.

Location is everything

We had a pleasant stay however the bed upstairs desperately needs replaced and doesn’t offer a restful sleep at all. We have a year and a half and 4.5 year old who fell often in the living room area too since there is a step down into the living room so just be aware if you have young kids. Overall this rental worked for us but would have liked a more kid friendly place. You can’t beat this location!

Good experience

Overall, we had a good experience. We had a couple of issues and the owner/manager immediately responded and remedied the problem as best as possible. The house is charming and the location is prime—just a short 3 minute walk to North Beach. The home is starting to show some wear and tear and needs a little TLC; especially the upstairs. The upstairs furniture needs to be refreshed. The two upstairs queen mattresses desperately need to be replaced and fresh paint is needed upstairs too. The air conditioning barely works upstairs, if at all. You basically have to crank the air to 67° and wait for it to cool down upstairs while freezing the downstairs. Fans were provided but it just wasn’t enough. The cold air return ducts throughout the house are covered in dust. Would I rent this place again or recommend it? MAYBE... I was actually hoping to rent the same house for next year because it is charming and the location is great, but I think we might try somewhere else instead. Oh and the house isn’t yellow it’s white . Very confusing when pulling up to the rental the picture online need to be retaken.

Pleasant Beehive Stay

Check-in and communications were easy. House was clean and well supplied. Location was amazing in terms of just a 5-minute walk to North Beach. Minor improvements could be made to broken blind cords, worn bath rugs and toss bed pillows, and some worn toss blankets. Generally, the Beehive was a great place to stay for a large family or 2-3 smaller families together. We would gladly book it again.

Memorial Day Memories!

We really enjoyed our stay! The house was very clean and well prepared for our arrival. There is plenty of room throughout the entire layout and the large sectional in the main living area is very comfortable, clean and relaxing after a day at the beach. The beach is truly a short 2 minute walk and leads to you a great beach location. Check in/out was smooth and contactless. We hope to book this house again when it's available!

Adorable home and so close to the beach

We stayed with my mom, sister, and my two children (2 and 4). There were plenty of bathrooms and the house was very clean. Best part is it is on the same street as North Beach. We were able to walk with a day's worth of beach gear, two small children, and I'm 7mos pregnant. No stairs from the driveway to the beach and an easy walk, even for young kids. Definitely would recommend this property!

Bee Hive 7/20 - 7/27/2019

It was generally a nice property in a great location. It worked well for 8 adults. I felt a main negative were the conditions of the mattresses. All seemed past their prime, especially upstairs in the south bedroom. Also, as an energy ad safety matter, the hot water temperature should be reduced, especially with young children in the house. Some other minor maintenance items were noted, such as the ice maker was not functional, and the ceiling fan in the middle bedroom upstairs did not work. These items did not detract significantly from an enjoyable stay. Thank you.
