Lake Michigan Beachfront Cottage with Spectacular Views.

**THIS IS AN OLD SCHOOL SMALL COTTAGE AN IDEAL SIZE FOR 2 ADULTS AND 3 CHILDREN**
This true beach cottage on the front row on Lake Michigan's Magnificent Mile, beautiful beachfront with only a slope to the shore, no steps to endure. Live on the beach or walk to town for shopping, dining, and entertainment. Bring all the float toys you want or even pull your boat or jet ski right up to our shore for the day, it's your choice. Enjoy an adult beverage on our private beach during the day or a fine bottle of wine at your bonfire after the sun goes down. We've spent many a night watching the sun go down, gazing at the stars. When not on the beach hang on our common area large deck or in our quaint cottage with views of the lake. This is one of the original South Haven cottages that has been meticulously maintained to meet the needs of every beach-goer looking for a unique and special experience. We upgraded the amenities and left the charm. Best for small family or friends getaway. Ideal for 2 adults and up to 4 children.

We have been stay in these cottages for 40 years…at least two previous owners. The Dvoraks have really made this cottage some special! In addition to being on the beach…it’s adorable. Dvoraks are great hosts, easy to work with.This place always gave us a slice of heaven when we came with our kids; now it’s a little piece of heaven for us AND the grandkids. LOVE it here!

Thanks Janis we so appreciate you and family. I believe you have rented with us since we purchased back in 1998 can’t believe it’s was 27 years ago! So thankful we can share such a beautiful spot on the beach with you! All our best, Ann & Gregg
This was our first trip to South Haven and this beach cottage did not disappoint! From stunning views to a wonderfully updated interior, this place was perfect. We are already planning our next trip and are hoping to stay here again!
We 3 sisters enjoyed the beautiful cottage, theviews of Lake Michigan and the proximity to lovely South Haven Everything was clean, well stocked and comfortable.
The best view and cutest, clean little cottage right on the beach!! We stayed here in early June with our three boys (a seven year old and twin three year olds) and had the best time!! So many fun things to do nearby and the best beach front location. We left talking about coming back again next year!

Dear Janis,
Thank you again for your kind words!
I believe you have been renting the cottage with us now for at least 15 years. It means the world to us that you continue to return year after year.
Enjoy the rest of your summer!
Ann & Gregg
Wow what a beautiful cottage right on lake michigan! It was the perfect setup for our family (2 adults and 3 small children). Views were second to none and was perfect to see the beach from windows throughout the house! Already planning our next trip back and want to book the same place!

The perfect cottage for making memories with family year after year. Cottage #1 has everything our summer vacation dreams are made of. Thank you Gregg & Ann!
Beautiful cottage and a wonderful host! Quick responses and accommodating. We enjoyed our time very much. There were many gnats flying around, but it could just be because of the season? Overall beautiful cottage and we would visit again!
This is the Cottage experience you see in legendary movies. Private beach comfortable furnishings close to town and ample dunes for kids to roam and discover Pirate treasure.
As always, this location is perfect and the cottage is well appointed, clean, and decorated beautifully. We will be back!
