Why the Owner Chose South Haven
Renovating a historic house has been an interest of ours for many years and we chose a property close to downtown in a quiet residential neighborhood. It soon proved to be an ideal opportunity for vacation rental and additional income.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The benefits of the property we purchased is its location within a 10 minute walk of downtown and about 15 minutes to the closest Lake Michigan beach. The house is large (about 2200 sf) with a large open floor plan on the first floor. The kitchen opens out to a large back yard with a large viewing deck for entertaining, relaxing, and watching the sky change colors as the sun sets across the Celery Pond. The pond is a large wetland full of wildlife for observation.
Large public beach with refreshments and restrooms. Access to the north pier.
History of Great Lakes maritime activity, gift shop, boat building, Coast Guard exhibit, the Friends Goodwill Tall Ship.
Large public beach with refreshments and rest rooms. Access to south pier and the light house.
Owner's Map of South Haven
My wife and I moved to South Haven MI in 2000. We purchased an antique shop to apply our 32 year passion for antiques to this quaint resort town. We truly enjoy meeting new customers and spreading the word about the unique opportunities in this historic harbor town.
