About this property

Steps Away from the Beach

Steps away from the beach, this fully renovated, light and airy cottage offers lovely water views of both sunrise and sunset.

This highly sought after location is set across from the marina and is just a minute's walk to beautiful North Beach or the channel.

During the peak summer months, we rent on a weekly basis - Saturday to Saturday.

Enjoy your morning coffee or an evening cocktail on the front patio while watching the boats navigate the channel. Or choose the rear, fenced stone patio to lounge with a book, or grill a meal, and dine al fresco with a view of the lake.

Just a short walk to down town, you can stroll through the shops, enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner at one of South Haven's many restaurants, rent a bike or kayak, or take a horse-drawn carriage ride. The summer's Farmer's Market is full of locally grown bounty and crafts.

This little Peace of Haven offers spacious comfortable accommodations including a pleasant master bedroom with a king bed, adjacent private bathroom, and access to a small private deck via French doors. The original living room of the house is a large, private, high ceilinged space featuring a kind sized bed and access to the front patio. The great room, with views of the lake and access to the rear patio and driveway (off street parking) has a queen hide-a-bed, in addition to living and dining furniture.

The kitchen is fully equipped for those who wish to cook with microwave, dishwasher, stove, oven and a full sized refrigerator in addition to a large selection of pots, pans and other kitchen needs right down to spices in the cupboard.

A flat screen TV, cable, wireless internet, DVD player and a cupboard full of books and old fashioned games are just some of the amenities provided for your entertainment enjoyment.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
