Our charming three bedroom cottage is located within the City of South Haven just south of Kids Corner Park. Our house is just three houses from Lake Michigan with private association beach access. Wooden stairs lead down the bluff to Lake Michigan - OUR BEACH IS AN EXCELLENT LOCATION FOR VIEWING THE JULY 4TH FIREWORKS - AWAY FROM THE CROWDS, NO FIGHTING FOR A PARKING SPACE, AND WHEN THE FIREWORKS ARE OVER - YOU'RE ALREADY HOME! The house sits on a double lot, is shaded by mature Maple trees and is fenced with a cute white fence. It's the perfect place to watch your children chase fireflies, play croquet or just run and play. We have a large screened back porch to enjoy those pleasant Michigan evenings mosquito-free!
If seclusion is not to your liking, it's just a short walk to Kids Corner Park and the Blue Stairs leading to the wide, sandy South Beach. Or walk/bike a little farther to South Haven's harbor, downtown shops and restaurants. We are close to everything, and yet, the neighborhood is quiet and residential. It's the best of both worlds!
The house has been recently remodeled with a new kitchen and two new baths. With a livingroom, familyroom and a screened porch, there is plenty of room for a family to spread out and relax. The basement is set up as a large play area for the kids on rainy days. Beach chairs, firepit, croquet and bikes/tag-along bike are furnished for your enjoyment. This is the perfect family vacation home.

Why the Owner Chose South Haven
As transplants to South Florida, we needed a place to call home when visiting family and friends in Michigan and Chicago. South Haven was the perfect location. After renting a vacation home in town (through VRBO, no less!), we decided to purchase our lakefront cottage. Now it is five years later, and we have loved our experience in South Haven so much that we are now year round residents. Our cottage is now available for rent so that others may appreciate the small town with which we have fallen in love.
The Unique Benefits at this House
We love the quiet residential streets and the quaint, old-time friendliness of everyone in town. Some of the "Must-Do's" in town include: walks along the pier and harborfront, onion rings at Clementine's, giant granola cookies at Cafe Julia's, Sherman's ice cream, downtown shopping, the Kal-Haven bike trail, the Friends-Good-Will tall ship and Maritime Museum, children's summer art classes at the Art Center, Kid's Corner Park, and Beach, Beach, Beach.
Giant play structure and baseball diamond right across the street from Blue Stairs access to South Beach Public Beach
a tradition for summer visitors - sometimes the line is out the door and around the corner. HUGE ice cream cones.

We had the most perfect Memorial Weekend. The house is beautiful and immaculate. Loved the screened porch, fenced yard and proximity to town and beach. The owners have thought of everything, even beach toys and fun DVDS for the kids. We will be back!
