4-Bed Cape Cod Steps Away from Kids' Corner, South Beach, & Downtown South Haven
A perfect mix of location, updated amenities and lakehouse charm, perfect for a family getaway, girls’ weekend, or couples’ retreat. Take advantage of the best South Haven has to offer – sandy beaches, dazzling sunsets, downtown shops and cafes, parks and trails, and more – all within walking distance.
The Cape Cod-style home sits one door down from Kids' Corner park, one block off Lake Michigan and the Blue Stairs of South Beach, five blocks from the South Pier lighthouse, a quick walk from the picturesque downtown South Haven, and blocks from the Kal-Haven Trail for 33 miles of running and biking.
Enter the lakehouse from the covered front porch right into the sprawling living room that’s perfect for gathering with family and friends. The room boasts a modern L-shaped couch, cedar-paneled accent ceiling, 60-inch television, and Bluetooth-friendly sound bar. The open space flows right out to the back deck, fun-packed garage, and yard with fire pit. Hardwood floors throughout the house make it easy to sweep up any sand that might sneak in from your beach adventures.
Between visits to the local eateries, stay in and cook in the cheerful, cottage-y kitchen with all the dishes, pans and appliances you may need. Host dinner around the farmhouse table in the dining room or slide into the spacious kitchen breakfast nook for a game of euchre. Enjoy the soothing sounds and breezes of Lake Michigan as you grill out on the propane Weber Grill on the backyard deck, which offers a clear view of the Kids' Corner playground. Be sure to take the one-block stroll to the lake to take in the stunning sunsets in the evenings.
The house is great for families with children, with a garage full of beach and yard toys, an outdoor shower, pack-and-play, high chair, toys, kids’ books, and games. Yet the place also features plenty of comforts for the adult crowd as well!
The four upstairs bedrooms, stocked with fresh linens, provide a handy mix of sleeping options: two bedrooms that each have a queen bed, one bedroom with two full beds, and one bedroom with two single beds and two pull-out trundle beds. The house has one centrally located full bathroom upstairs and one full bathroom downstairs for easy access from the backyard and gathering areas.
Parking and unloading your vehicles are a breeze in the four-car private driveway and free street parking.
Other conveniences include wireless internet, Roku with Hulu Live TV and Disney+ and ESPN, main level washer and dryer, central air conditioning and heat via easy-to-use Nest thermostats for each floor, DVDs, and Sony PlayStation 3. We hope to make your stay effortless and memorable!

About the host
Hosted by Kristi Krass
Hi! The lakehouse is owned by two young families – one in nearby Grand Rapids, one in the Chicago suburbs – who bought the place with hopes of making great memories with their families, while renting it out part-time to other South Haven visitors. Kristi is the main contact for the rental, and can provide lots of local recommendations if needed.
Why they chose this property
There's something great about parking your car when you arrive and never needing it again during the entire trip. You can walk anywhere you want to go from this house. Kids can run next door to the Kids' Corner playground, you can take a quick stroll around the corner to catch the sunsets, walk downtown for a morning latte, grab a happy hour beverage on the river, or jump on the Kal-Haven Trail for a bike ride.
What makes this property unique
Right when you walk in the front door, the house feels like a perfect "get-together" space. The sprawling living room, cozy kitchen nook, expanse of hardwood floors, and easy access to the back deck and outdoors make it a great spot for families and friends to gather and have a good time. It has just enough cottage charm mixed with modern amenities, and tons of handy gear to provide a comfortable, memorable getaway. (And its proximity to the beach, playground, and downtown are hard to beat.)
