The adults will love that the house has high speed internet, a fully equipped kitchen with a coffee and tea station, Stainless Steel Cuisinart Pans, sharp knives, and all the other tools and dishes needed to serve a great meal.
The children will love the bunk room with plenty of toys and games including a Wii to keep them entertained. Families with small children will appreciate the baby gates for both stair cases, a portable high chair, and a Pack N Play.
Before heading down to South Haven South Beach, stop by the garage and grab some beach toys, and the beach cart with special wheels so you can pull it across the sand. You can walk to Erie street without having to take any stairs, or take the stairs to Water Street depending on your preference (See Map). Want bigger toys? Kayaks and Paddle Boards are offered for rent at the beach. Children of all ages will enjoy the new splash pad that opened in South Beach in 2020. Now spread your beach blankets, apply some sunscreen and begin making memories.
Not in the mood for the beach? No worries. Re-connect with your inner child and challenge your party to a game of Corn-Hole, Washers or go on a walk to Kids Corner Park. Better yet, grab the book you have been saving and sit on the front porch. We guarantee if you sit in our rocking chairs with your favorite beverage, your worries will melt away.
The outdoor rear deck and patio are perfect for relaxing with a family barbecue after your day of fun whether at the beach or in town. Don't feel like cooking? No problem! Take a 1.5 block walk to town where several excellent South Haven restaurants await your dining pleasure.
After dinner the half-block walk to Water Street via the steps reveals an evening stroll along the River Walk. Take in the breathtaking Lake Michigan sunsets, then come back and enjoy s’mores around the fire.
At the end of the day retire upstairs to one of the 4 cozy bedrooms and snuggle into bed for a great night’s sleep and dream of tomorrow’s fun – South Haven offers so much.
Whether it’s solitude that you desire or a little good old-fashioned fun – you are sure to find it staying at Blue View Victorian!

About the host
Hosted by Anna & Jason Cole

We purchased this house in 2017, hope to retire to it, and will spend many wonderful years with our family here.
Why they chose this property
We’ve vacationed multiple times here in South Haven, but also enjoy neighboring communities in Saugatuck, Holland, Grand Haven and St. Joseph/Benton Harbor. We have made so many memories near Leelanau and Sleeping Bear Dunes it is surprising to not be nearer to there. We looked at many properties and considered beach access, lake views, activities, and the town or surrounding communities. We considered many options and thought seriously about only three properties. In the end, it was Blue View Victorian that grabbed us by the heart. It has the charm, beauty and location our family will enjoy for years to come (and so can yours).
On our previous vacations to South Haven we spent time mostly at the hotel/rental property or the beach. Since buying BVV, we’ve spent far more time in and around South Haven than ever before. Everyone has been so friendly and welcoming. South Haven is comfortable and casual and fits our style well. We love that we can stroll down to the beach/lighthouse or into town for a wonderful meal, a delicious coffee or ice cream, or to catch a movie. We love that in a very short time we are on first name basis with many of the proprietors and have been welcomed by our neighbors. Our deep connection to this community has developed quickly.
The first time we walked through, we knew this was our family’s legacy home – we offered the next day. We instantly fell in love with this 1889 Victorian with its restored charm and its seasonal lake views. We love listening to Lake Michigan waves and have spent hours marveling at the sunsets and stars. If you come to stay, you’ll see too.
