About this property

Our home is a beautiful Cape Cod that has been professionally decorated throughout. It is the epitome of a contemporary lake house: Light, colorful, stylish, with top-level upgrades. Plenty of space -- indoors and on the large back patio -- to relax. It offers 4 spacious bedrooms, 2 full baths, a large kitchen and dining area. The backyard features a large patio enough to comfortably accommodate large extended families -- gas grill, gas fire pit, and other features as well!

The location on the vrbo map is not accurate (see picture of map with correction location in our photos). We are 1/2 mile from the South Beach blue stairs, and about 1 mile from downtown.

Minimum 2-night stay except for peak season (end of May to beginning of September) when we only rent weekly (Saturday to Saturday).

In 2015, we did a COMPLETE overhaul of the home: Literally taking it down to the studs and putting in NEW kitchen cabinets, microwave, bathroom cabinets and features, washer and dryer, and carpeting and flooring throughout. The home also features a stainless steel stove, toaster, coffee pot, blender, mixer, outdoor gas grill, fire pit, air conditioning, comfortable 300+ count sheets, etc. Secured WiFi included, as well as a kitchen tv and large screen tv in the living room both of which have premier cable, access to many different channels, etc. We also provide an extensive array of board games, puzzles, and other interactive activities!

THIS IS NOT YOUR BASIC RENTAL.

Our home is special to us, and we are picky; if you are someone who appreciates the nice things in life and can take care of our home as if they were your own, this rental is for you. We require a security deposit of $600 which is fully refundable when the home is left as you found it.

BFF Girls Getaway

The house was perfect! 5 high school friends getting away to celebrate us turning 60. Quiet location. So close to downtown South Haven. Great spaces in the home to visit and play some games. But enough private rooms to have "me" time of needed. Would definitely rent this home again!

Girls Trip

The house was great for a party of 7 plus a child. The main floor was spacious so we never felt crowded. The backyard was great…large dining table, fire pit and swing set for the little ones. We definitely would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Mark

We love South Haven: It's beaches and lake views, slow and relaxing pace, and local attractions (restaurants, festivals, outdoor activities, etc.). Our extended family and friends have so many rich memories of our times together in the house; so much so that we refer to it as "South Heaven"/"South of Heaven." Over the years, it has been a pleasure renting thru VRBO the times that we can't utilize this beautiful home. Our expectation is that renters will treat our home with the love and respect it deserves, and enjoy it as much as we do.
