The Space:

A Slice of Haven is the perfect South Haven cottage with a charming, modern, coastal feel inside. Make your vacation a carefree, car-free getaway with everything so close by. Enjoy the best Slice of South Haven with easy access to the bike trails and the best South Haven experiences. A short walk brings you to downtown South Haven for the farmers market, tasting rooms, and great dining options. Make your way to the riverfront, the popular South Beach, or the expansive Kids Corner Park near Monroe Boulevard, all just a short stroll away.



After a day of exploring South Haven’s lakefront charm, return to your Slice of South Haven, where every space invites you to settle in and savor the moment. Start on the front porch, a classic spot for morning coffee or evening conversation, where you can watch the neighborhood come to life or enjoy a front-row seat to holiday parades drifting down the street.



A Slice of Haven is designed for easygoing days and memorable nights, where every space invites you to relax and enjoy. Inside, darkwood flooring guides you through the open and airy layout, blending warm comfort with a breezy coastal feel. The living area is made for unwinding - Sink into the plush sectional for a laid-back movie night, curl up with a book after a day in the sun, or settle in for a quiet morning read before heading out to explore.



Just beyond, the dining table is ready for everything from pancake breakfasts to late-night card games, while the bright, fully equipped kitchen makes mealtime a breeze. With sleek stainless steel appliances, plenty of counter space, and a well-stocked setup, you can whip up a quick bite before hitting the beach or settle in for a leisurely home-cooked dinner.



Two main-floor bedrooms, each with its own distinct charm, offer a restful retreat, along with a full bath for convenience. Up the circular staircase, a private sanctuary awaits—an upper-level suite featuring a queen bedroom, walk-in closet, and full bath. Step onto the secluded balcony, a peaceful perch overlooking the backyard, where mornings start with the rustle of leaves and evenings end with the soft hum of summer nights.



Summer cookouts, evenings by the firepit, and twilight cocktails under the bistro lights - Out back, the shaded retreat of the backyard invites you to settle in and enjoy. Fire up the grill on the spacious deck, where an outdoor table is ready for everything from quick bites to leisurely al fresco dinners. As the evening cools, step down to the stone patio, where the warmth of the gas firepit draws everyone in - perfect for toasting marshmallows, sharing stories, or simply kicking back with a drink in the crisp night air.

    Slice of Haven is wonderful. It's a great location. Close to the beach and downtown. When speaking with the property manager, she said there would be no beach towels no bikes nothing for the beach. On our very last day I found in the garage bikes wagon for the beach. We had beach towels and there were beach toys. So my only suggestion would be that the property manager get familiar with the house otherwise it was a wonderful stay.

    The house matched the description except for the picture of the pristine patio area. My family loves spending time outdoors, so we were looking forward to the patio. However, it was littered with sticks and leaves. We called the rental agency and asked for a broom, which was delivered. No offer was made to clean it up. We did it. Other tha that, the house was clean and comfortable. It's an older home, but has been updated. It is only 3 blocks to town, and the neighborhood sidewalks are great for taking walks.

    My wife and I spent 5 nights at Slice of Haven and were very impressed with the overall experience at the cottage. It was very well kept and decorated and very clean. We especially enjoyed out time on both the front and back patios. Should we return to Southhaven we would definitely come back to this beautiful home.

    We used this VRBO for a girls trip reunion. It was perfect. We enjoyed the front porch to sit, chat and catch up. We could easily walk to downtown, the beach and more. We had plenty of space for the four of us. We used the grill one night and had dinner outside on the back deck.

    We loved our stay at A Slice of Haven. The location is perfect for walks to the beach, downtown, and kids corner. Our group consisted of grandparents, parents, and two kids aged 3 and 5. It was such a fun surprise to find toys under the twin beds in the kid's room. They haven't stopped talking about it. The home is well stocked and very clean. The living room was perfect for our family, and the outdoor space added an extra get away for play and conversation.

    The location is great proximity to downtown and the beach. The decor is beachy farmhouse, which is a great style for us. The porch was great but beware of the HUGE spiders. We have a few suggestions to make the place even better: - upgrade the mattress in the upstairs bedroom. Our backs hurt so bad by the 3rd night. - the linens, while clean, had stains on them. You may want to replace them. - the downstairs shower needs a new liner. The bottom was orange, not white. - the dishes in the cabinet were dirty, specifically all the plates and most of the cups. Make sure dishes are clean before guests arrive. The property management company did not respond to our texts. I'd recommend ensuring someone is monitoring and at least acknowledging the texts coming in. Overall great stay, location and cute house.
