With original charm to spare plus all the modern updates you want, you’ve hit the jackpot with this darling home. Easy access to all of South Haven is at your doorstep, with downtown’s shops, restaurants, and cafés within walking distance just a few blocks north. The beach and Kids' Corner Park - also within walking distance - awaits just to the west. Hiking, mountain biking, golf, tennis, wineries and more abound in the summer, and snowmobiling and cross-country skiing are nearby in the winter.

At home, you’ll love the huge, enclosed back yard, with plenty of room for the family to spread out. Start the day with coffee at the patio picnic table and end it gathered around the fire pit, with wood thoughtfully provided.

Inside, you’ll find a light, bright space, with original hardwood floors, modern fixtures, stylish, beachy decor, and beautiful blue wainscoting. The covered porch in front opens to the combined living and dining space, making it easy to gather as a group. The fully updated kitchen features sleek stainless steel appliances, warm butcher-block countertops, and a delicate white-tile backsplash. Spend the day exploring or lounging at the beach, and then return to relax in the central AC at home. Stream a movie or grab a board game for some more together time, and call it a night in one of four well-appointed bedrooms, each as thoughtfully decorated as the rest of the home. Your first perfect South Haven day is coming to a close - with another in store for tomorrow.

Nice home
The renovations and decor were spot on for a house near the lake. The beds were comfortable. The little extras (soap, shampoo, kitchen items) were thoughtful additions to the house. My only complaint was one bedroom is very small, not enough room for luggage. My family enjoyed the home !!

Everything was perfect!
We have no complaints! It was perfect! Everything was updated and very comfortable and cozy! The decor was so awesome and the house has so much character. Also, it was well appointed with all the necessary things needed to be comfortable and really enjoy ourselves! It’s very roomy as there were 5 of us and it was very easy for us all to spread out if we needed to. Will definitely stay again when we get back to South Haven sometime in the near future! I highly recommend this wonderful home!

Sweet cottage in good location
We enjoyed our stay in this nicely decorated and updated South Haven style cottage. Two spacious bedrooms and a nice updated bath upstairs and two cozy bedrooms and smaller bath on the first floor was perfect for our group of three couples and a baby. The kitchen had everything we needed and the layout works well. As others have noted the yard could use mowing, but that didn’t impact our group. You can walk to either the beach or shops in 10 minutes. South Haven sunsets are not to be missed!! Also near the two awesome bike trails.

It was a nice spot The home has extreme foundation issues which aggravated my vertigo so I was dizzy and tried to be outside of the house as much as possible I will never stay here again There was garbage inside that included a dirty diaper that was unsettling when we first got there, otherwise it was very clean

Cute Beach Themed House
Very comfortable and clean. Just a few suggestions for the owner or manager: Weeds near entrance (they were dead, but still there). Wish the bedrooms had mirrors, especially when sharing bathrooms. Would be nice if queen bedroom upstairs had a chest of drawers for clothes. Love that you had dishwasher detergent and foil. Loved that there were so many towels, we didn’t need them but just in case. Wish the outdoor furniture had cushions.

Great girls weekend getaway!
We loved the house! It was walking distance from town and was functional for 5 people staying there. Bed were comfortable and all the amenities were there that we needed. For improvements: need more mirrors (5 women getting ready with 2 mirrors was not a good ratio), the downstairs shower need a shelf or basket in order to put toiletries in when taking a shower, and send more clear directions on the code to get into the house. I was given 2 different codes and none of them mentioned hitting the check button. Those are minor things that could improve a persons stay. Overall fantastic and we will be visiting again next year! Thank you!

Communication issues overshadowed the rest
The house was clean and as photographed. Unfortunately upon arrival we noticed that the oven did not work. We attempted 3 separate times in 24 hours to get in touch with the property people and no one ever got back to us. This of course made it difficult to prepare food and the lack of response and assistance was disappointing.

Horrible property
Booked this place based on the advertised backyard. However, upon arrival it was extremely unkept, overgrown, and not maintained. Called the management company and requested the grass be cut so our kids could use the backyard. Seven days later still not cut. Based on other recent reviews this clearly has been an ongoing problem that they do not intend to remedy. Bugs and ants everywhere. Trash can was completely full when arrived and company took it out too late on trash day and instead removed one bag of trash. Smell was horrendous. Hole in dining room floor making basement ground visible and likely leading to the pest problem. Floors all different levels leading to lots of tripping by the kids - very unsafe if have children. Do yourself a favor and avoid this property.

Perfect home for a South Haven Getaway
We had a great stay, this home is super spacious and has all the amenities a family could need. There was a perfectly large fenced in yard for the kids to play and a grill to make some dinner before relaxing around the fire pit. The kicker was amazing and included all the little things u always forget on a trip which was very helpful. The location is perfect and is a quick walk to dining, entertainment and even the beach. We look forward to staying again and making a tradition out of it!

We had a great experience at this property. Upon arrival, we immediately noticed how clean it was. The furnishings appeared to be brand new and very stylish. The property was nicely remodeled. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen provided all the necessary accessories and appliances. We especially enjoyed spending the our evenings around the large firepit. The yard had a children's play set as well as plenty of space for them to run around, while enjoying various games and sports. Inside there was a good amount of toys available to keep our little ones busy. It was located in a great spot, as the beach and downtown area were both easily accessible by a short walk. Stores were also a short walk/drive away, making it easy to pick up groceries or necessities. We would definitely go back and highly recommend staying here! Thanks!
