About this property

North Shore Retreat | Beachfront • Pool • Walkable

Summary:

Welcome to the North Shore Retreat, a coastal-inspired two-story beachfront condo with an unbeatable location, unobstructed Lake Michigan views, and beach access steps from your door. Spend your days by the heated pool, unwind in the hot tub, play a round on the tennis courts, or walk into downtown South Haven for dining and adventure. With two private balconies, a sunroom, cocktail bar, and room for up to seven guests, the North South Retreat is the ideal design-forward lakeshore escape.



The Space:

The North Shore Retreat offers true lakefront living, with bright coastal interiors, stunning water views, and multiple spaces for families and friends to come together.



The main level flows easily between the living room, dining area, and kitchen, while an enclosed sunroom with a bar and lounge-seating offers another inviting place to relax. Upstairs, the sleeping areas provide flexible accommodations that make the space especially well-suited for families, couplies, or groups traveling together.



Outside, two private balconies invite you to slow down and take in the lakefront setting, while the community amenities put adventure right outside your door. Spend the day on the private association beach, swim in the large heated pool, enjoy the hot tub, play tennis, or cookout at the charcoal grills before heading into downtown South Haven.

We loved our stay in this unit and would absolutely stay there again. The condo was well stocked and clean. We had one minor maintenance issue and the team was so quick to respond and fix. You can't beat the location! Definitely recommend!
