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.

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 !!
Nicely decorated, well appointed, clean house in convenient location.
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!
We were pretty happy, but the oven didn't work and smoke detectors are very sensitive alarm is loud. Overall it was good but could have received credit because not all amenities worked. No laundry available
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.
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
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.
Inside of the house was very cute. Beds are comfortable. Outside was very unkept. Hadn’t been mowed in months.
Good location, great back yard, and house was as advertised
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.
The property was exactly as the pictures and narrative described. Plenty of open space for gathering. Easy to get downtown restaurants. We hope to return next year.
Nice interior - nice upgrades for an older house; clean interior. Yard needed mowing and weeding. Cleaning was good but comforter on bed was placed on still wet
Highly recommend.
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!
