The Oakland North is available for rent to mature, responsible and respectful adults only. If you are looking to rent a place to host a party of any sort, please do not consider the Oakland North. We ask all of our guests to be very considerate of our neighbors and keep both voice and music levels to a minimum. We thank you in advance for your cooperation with being both good guests and good neighbors while staying in our home.
The Oakland North is a historic landmark building which was built in 1927 and originally known as Mendelson's Oakland Hotel. In the 1970's it was converted into two separate residences and the north half provides over 2200 square feet of beautiful living space. There are four spacious bedrooms (two queen beds, one full bed and the fourth bedroom has two sets of twin bunk beds) with two completely remodeled full bathrooms.
The Oakland North has been impeccably maintained and boasts all of the original architectural details of a bygone era including ten foot high ceilings, arched double hung windows with true divided lights, original oak hardwood flooring on the entire first floor, stain grade millwork trim throughout with operable transom vents above the second floor bedroom doors. The feeling of the home is truly unique and feels as if you are in a historic turn of the century beach house. The finishes, fixtures and furnishings all add to the overall casual relaxed feeling and remind you that you are 'away from it all'.

About Michael Biedermann
We are parents of four young children. We wanted a beach house to escape from the hustle and bustle of every day life and focus on family.
Michael Biedermann purchased this House in 2000
Why Michael Biedermann chose South Haven Charter Township
Historic Monroe Park is our neighborhood which is directly adjacent to the North Beach on South Haven's North Shore. The key to this location is there are no huge hills nor endless staircases to climb up and down when going to and from the beach. Kind of an important thing to remember with small children and grandparents who want to join you down at the waters edge. Remember… 'Location. Location. Location.'
What makes this House unique
We enjoy the easy access to the North Beach as well as the less than ten minute walk to downtown South Haven. Once the groceries are purchased, there is no need for your car again. Even if you do need something from the store, you can walk two blocks to North Side Memories which is a small, privately owned convenience store and deli. We have said it so many times but it is true... once you cross the draw bridge, it feels as though all of life's struggles seem to be lifted. We hope you are able to experience the same feeling!

Perfect
We All Love It!
Great house and wonderful location
The Oakland is a very clean, comfortable place to stay in a great location to the beach!
Amazing Retreat!
Location
The Oakland North is located at 64 North Shore Drive, South Haven, Michigan 49090. The house is located on the east side of North Shore Drive and faces west with a view directly down Avery Street. At the west end of Avery, approximately one block from the house, is South Haven's beautiful North Beach and Lake Michigan. There is much to do in and around South Haven. The very best thing to do is simply relax on the beach, listen to the waves roll in and do nothing!
