Welcome to Sunshine Cottage in South Haven (SunshineCottageSH) where your family getaway is not just a trip, it's a vacation. Perfect for families or groups looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay.

Kid and baby friendly features: Full size crib and changing table in 'mini nursery' off of the primary bedroom; pack 'n' play and slumberpod; high chair, high chair/booster combo and booster pad for kitchen chairs; baby gates at top and bottom of stairs; step stool in bathroom; bumper pads for bunk beds; blackout blinds; plastic dishware and cups; outlet covers; play kitchen; indoor toys, books and games; arcade-style indoor basketball hoop; outdoor games; pool and beach toys

The Harbor Club heated enclosed pool and outdoor spa are available during your stay!

Our two-story home boasts 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, providing ample space for up to 12 guests. It was built in 2021 and nestled in a more wooded corner of Harbor Club. You will still have the convenient location to the Marina and lake and access to the association pool but with more privacy and fewer neighbors. Our large patio will let you enjoy the views of the surrounding trees. It's the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee or relax in the evening with the whole family gathering around the fire pit for s'mores. (Or to relax with a cocktail after the kids are in bed)

The full kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare meals during your stay and is open to the main living room, making it easy to socialize and entertain while cooking. The main living room is furnished with a large couch and cushy chairs, perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring the area or spending a fun day on the beach. The large television has access to most of the popular streaming services, so you can catch up on your favorite shows or movies (requires the renter to sign in to their own account).

The home is also outfitted with all the basic comforts required: Wifi, two smart TVs, central air, washer and dryer and gas grill. All towels and linens are provided along with body wash, shampoo and conditioner in each bathroom. Additionally a tankless water heater ensures everyone gets their hot relaxing shower after a day at the beach! And detachable toilet safety rails are available for anyone who needs extra assistance. The blackout shades in every bedroom will give everyone a good night’s sleep.

For beach lovers, access to the sandy shores of Lake Michigan is just a 10-15 minute walk away on a dedicated pedestrian pathway separated from the street. Alternatively, you can rent a golf cart from the nearby Harbor Club Resort and Marina for a fun and unique way to get to many of the other nearby beaches. (North Beach and South Beach are just a 5 minute drive) Beach chairs and towels are available for up to 12 people, as well as 2 beach umbrellas to provide shade on sunny days. A folding wagon is also provided to help haul everything to the beach.

Access to two association pools is included in your stay. The main Harbor Club pool is just 2 blocks from the house and has a retractable enclosure. This means it is enclosed and heated in the off season and the enclosure is retracted so the pool is outdoors in the summer (which means this pool is open year round!). There is also a hot tub located in the pool area. The pool located at the Woodland Harbor Marina is just a 5 minute walk away. It is outdoors and available Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend and is a great summer option with views of the boats coming and going.

Up to 3 vehicles can park in and around the house. Additional parking is located across the street or anywhere designated Overflow Parking within Harbor Club.

After a long day of exploring or beach combing, you can come back to the house and unwind with a variety of toys and games for both kids and adults alike. From board games to pool toys, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

Our home is pet friendly, up to 2 pets allowed for an additional fee. Dogs of any size are allowed. Please contact us for additional details.

    This was our second stay and the house was just as perfect and charming. The outdoor pool and hot tub are wonderful in winter -- the large pool is essentially globed with a heated enclosure. The bedrooms are sizeable and there is room for everyone! We will stay again next winter.

    We had the pleasure of staying at Sunshine Cottage with our family, and it made for the perfect fall weekend getaway! It was our first time visiting South Haven—a true gem. The house is beautifully appointed for families with young children and includes everything you might need for a trip to the beach. The location is fantastic—close to both the beach and downtown—and having access to the community pool was an extra treat. We can’t wait to visit South Haven and stay here again soon!

    We stayed a weekend at the Sunshine cottage & had a delightful time. It was clean & the amenities were great for our family & friends. All the small touches like stools for the kids to wash hands & nightlights in the bedrooms & bathrooms made it feel like home. Beds were comfortable & there was plenty of space to hang out together or to relax alone during downtime. We enjoyed taking the chairs & sand toys to the beach for sunset. Well done Sunshine Cottage, we’ll be back!

    We absolutely loved the house and the location. The house had everything we needed and it was beautifully decorated. If you are coming with young children, the sunroom is perfect with a small table and chairs and a play kitchen. We enjoyed both available pools, but preferred the marina pool because there were less people and we had the pool to ourselves most times. We enjoyed eating at the Lodge, Clementines and Admiral Jacks. We like going to Meijer because we don't have one in Iowa. We also enjoy shopping downtown South Haven at their unique shops. This time we rented a pontoon boat from Blue Water at the marina and that was a lot of fun. Overall, out rental experience was fantastic.

    This house had the perfect layout for our family! So many thoughtful touches to make the stay easy with kids: fans in each bedroom, little shelf to set the baby monitor on, plenty of bedding and sleeping options for kids, kid friendly dishware, the list goes on! It was nice having access to two pools, easy drive to North or South Beach, a fun trail by the house that grandma took the kids to explore, and we roasted marshmallows on the back patio fire pit. The house was clean and met all of our expectations!

    Great experience! Really appreciate the consideration for guests with small children - I didn’t have to worry about safety (eg stairs) at all!

    We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Liz and Steve's house - we had 3 kids under 5 and it was one of the most kid friendly homes and locations we have ever stayed in. It was clean, well-stocked, and in a great location close to the beach and pool nearby.

    I’d have to say this was one of my favorite houses to stay in! The house was beautiful and clean. It was a great layout. It was perfect how it was so kid friendly. The toys were great, the crib room and the bunk beds. It was just perfect. Thank you!

    We had a blast staying at this property in south haven. It was perfect for our family (ages range from 2-6 for the children). There were toys that my 2 and 4 year old loved playing with. We enjoyed the fire pit and it is close to the neighborhood pool. We made lots of great memories!

    We had 3 generations in the house and it was well equipped for all, especially the kids. We loved the layout of the home with beach supplies in the garage and backyard fire pit. The new pool and hot tub was definitely a perk for staying in Harbor Club. The hosts were very responsive to our questions. Would certainly come back to Sunshine Cottage!

    This place is beautiful. It’s very clean and well stocked with everything you need during your stay. We enjoyed the closeness of the pool, beach, restaurants, and the shops. It’s easy to walk to the town, park or beach if you want an easy walk every day. The house is very accommodating for families with children. Our grandchildren loved the kids room. We had a wonderful time. Next time we need to stay longer.
