A perfect mix of location, updated amenities and lakehouse charm, perfect for a family getaway, girls’ weekend, or couples’ retreat. Take advantage of the best South Haven has to offer – sandy beaches, dazzling sunsets, downtown shops and cafes, parks and trails, and more – all within walking distance.

The Cape Cod-style home sits one door down from Kids' Corner park, one block off Lake Michigan and the Blue Stairs of South Beach, five blocks from the South Pierlighthouse, a quick walk from the picturesque downtown South Haven, and blocks from the Kal-Haven Trail for 33 miles of running and biking.

Enter the lakehouse from the covered front porch right into the sprawling living room that’s perfect for gathering with family and friends. The room boasts a modern L-shaped couch, cedar-paneled accent ceiling, 60-inch television, and Bluetooth-friendly sound bar. The open space flows right out to the back deck, fun-packed garage, and yard with fire pit. Hardwood floors throughout the house make it easy to sweep up any sand that might sneak in from your beach adventures.

Between visits to the local eateries, stay in and cook in the cheerful, cottage-y kitchen with all the dishes, pans and appliances you may need. Host dinner around the farmhouse table in the dining room or slide into the spacious kitchen breakfast nook for a game of euchre. Enjoy the soothing sounds and breezes of Lake Michigan as you grill out on the propane Weber Grill on the backyard deck, which offers a clear view of the Kids' Corner playground. Be sure to take the one-block stroll to the lake to take in the stunning sunsets in the evenings.

The house is great for families with children, with a garage full of beach and yard toys, an outdoor shower, pack-and-play, high chair, toys, kids’ books, and games. Yet the place also features plenty of comforts for the adult crowd as well!

The four upstairs bedrooms, stocked with fresh linens, provide a handy mix of sleeping options: two bedrooms that each have a queen bed, one bedroom with two full beds, and one bedroom with two single beds and two pull-out trundle beds. The house has one centrally located full bathroom upstairs and one full bathroom downstairs for easy access from the backyard and gathering areas.

Parking and unloading your vehicles are a breeze in the four-car private driveway and free street parking.

Other conveniences include wireless internet, Roku with Hulu Live TV and Disney+ and ESPN, main level washer and dryer, central air conditioning and heat via easy-to-use Nest thermostats for each floor, DVDs, and Sony PlayStation 3. We hope to make your stay effortless and memorable!

No smoking and no pets, please.

    This house is fantastic. It has everything you need and more. Lots of games and things for little kids. We loved it and will definitely be back. Lots of room for all of us to eat together. The host was great at communicating and the check in/out process was so easy. It’s located very close to the beach and park.

    Our Host was wonderful from start to finish. The house was everything she described it to be and more, if that is possible. The location was outstanding and the house was so clean and decorated so nice. Furniture was comfortable including the beds. Our granddaughters, 4 and 1 1/2 enjoyed the many toys and books including the doll house in the children’s bedroom. It was really hard to leave. We had such a great time and it really felt like home. Highly, highly recommend.

    This was true to the listing. Everything was spotless on our arrival. This is set up for kids to enjoy. A cabinet full of games for adults and children. Dishes/glasses/utensils for children. The gates on top and bottom made the steps worry free with toddlers. Toddlers joined us on our trip and they had a blast. This house is a 2 minute walk to the kids zone and a 5 minute walk to Lake Michigan. It was about a 20 minute walk to downtown South Haven all doable. It was great that we could park our vehicle and walk everywhere from this house. The garage held all the things you needed for the beach so no need to bring umbrellas and beach toys. Beach towels were available as well. The bathrooms were small but true to the period of the home. It had everything you would need. We would rent this house again. The host was very easy to work with.

    We loved our stay in South Haven! This home has everything you could need for a vacation (beach toys to birthday candles)! The kitchen is fully stocked with several pantry items. We spent hours reading on the front porch, playing corn hole in the backyard, and playing games at the kitchen table. The upstairs shower has FIVE shower heads - it’s a treat.

    612 St. Joseph St. is a cute house near the beach and walking distance to downtown South Haven. The house was full of amenities and the coolest garage ever! The owner was very responsive and answered questions quickly.

    I can’t say enough about our experience at this house and in South Haven. It was the most family friendly and well-equipped home we’ve rented. We would rebook in a heartbeat! It literally had everything we needed! The care and attention to making guests feel welcome, equipped, and ready for family fun was outstanding. The location to the beach, the amazing park, and walking/biking to town was perfect. We couldn’t have asked for anything better! The house was so clean and the communication with Kristi was fantastic. Thanks for a great stay!!

    We loved our stay! Super family friendly, stocked with everything you need and more. You could just bring food and your swimsuit and you’d be all set! We enjoyed playing card games at the breakfast nook with our 4 year old every morning. Tons of outdoor toys kept our kiddos busy. Can walk to multiple beaches, park, and into town.

    This property is in a great location to the beach, downtown and a Catholic Church. Wonderful home for small children. There are gates at both the top and bottom of the staircase, children’s toys and books. Fully stocked kitchen with a Keurig and regular coffee pot. Would definitely rent again!
