South Beach | 4 Bedrooms/3 Baths | Two Blocks to Beach and Downtown


This recently renovated two-story, 4-bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home offers family and friends a great vacation getaway. It's located at the center of the best parts of South Haven: Just 2 blocks to South Beach, 3 blocks to town and a short walk to Kids Corner Park. The Van Buren State Park trail begins on Maple, literally outside our front door.


As you enter, the welcoming, enclosed heated/cooled porch provides a quiet space for reading, morning coffee or just watching the day go by.


Main Floor

The main floor features a family space with TV (with cable), fireplace, games and space to gather along with a dining area that has room for everyone. There is a queen-sized pullout sofa in the living room.


Also, on the main floor is a beautiful, fully stocked, up-to-date kitchen with built-in oven, 5-burner gas stove, microwave, dishwasher, large refrigerator, and a breakfast bar. You don't have to bring any utensils to the kitchen…we love to cook, and you will find everything you need for your stay. There is a coffee bar with drip and pod coffee makers and a kettle for hot water. The pantry is usually stocked with tea and coffee (along with a few other seasonal surprises)


The main floor primary bedroom and attached bath offer privacy, a bit away from the main part of the house. There you will find a great place to read, watch TV or just relax.


There is also a half bath/laundry with stackable full-sized washer/dryer



Outside

Enjoy a meal outside on the deck with an umbrella table and chairs. The large fenced-in backyard offers a large fire pit with seating, deck, patio, comfy hammock and a place for kids to play. There is a large gas grill and a charcoal grill. In the shed there are bikes (adult and kid), beach chairs, beach toys and a wagon to take to the beach.


Sleeping Arrangements:
​​​​​​​Main level queen with private bathroom
Head upstairs, past the original stain glass window, and find 3 large bedrooms with ample closet space:
Bedroom 1: Queen bed
Bedroom 2: Full bed and walk-in closet
Bedroom 3: Provides a twin/twin trundle bed and a portable crib stored in the walk-in closet for your convenience.
Common Space: Sleeper Sofa

The large bathroom has been fully renovated with two sinks and bathtub/shower plus plenty of space to store your personal items.


Simply put, we have created a home that has all the amenities we look for in a rental and our goal is to make our home as inviting as possible. We enjoy vacationing in this home ourselves and hope it's a place for you to relax with friends and family.

    Comfortable Home & Great LocationEnjoyed our 3-night stay at Idle Hour. Very comfortable and well-stocked home for our four adults.House was spotless and as shown in the photos. Nicely remodeled with quality appliances, furnishings and finishes. Kitchen was full of most of the small appliances and utensils you would ever need. Many thoughtful touches made for a cozy at-home feeling. Bed in the lower level was very comfortable. Location was ideal for our weekend get-away. Ten-minute walk to downtown and the river. Five-to-ten-minute walk to the lighthouse and beach.Communication and support from the management company was excellent.

    Enjoyed our stay at Idle Hour. Property just as described. Very clean, well maintained. Enjoyed the location close to the lake.I traveled with several older family members who had minor ambulatory issues. The steep stairs were a challenge.In the future would try to rent a property on one floor.

    The House was very clean, well appointed, and well maintained. I really appreciated the wagon and beach chairs available in the shed in the fenced back yard. Having separate sleeping on 2 levels worked great for us. Location was great, only 5 minute walk to South Beach, and about 10 minute walk to Town, with plenty of dining options. Would definitely stay in the house again, if we are fortunate enough to get to visit Soth Haven again.

    Idle Hour is beautiful and has everything needed for a comfortable get-away. The location is close to all interest points and is in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood. We had a lovely time in South Haven, and this home made it perfect. One most important detail- the beds are extremely comforable!

    We are long time visitors to South Haven. We have always stayed on North Beach. We decided to venture out to the southside and we fell in love! The house is a short walk to the beach as well as town. This owner has so many tiny details that make the stay comfortable from every small appliance you can imagine to labeled light switches, wagon, sand toys, and a functioning firepit. We are now south side converts! :)
