About this property

"THE B-HIVE"
98 Avery Street, South Haven, MI 49090
Accommodates eleven (11) guests in five bedrooms and three full bathrooms.

The 'B-Hive' is available for rent to mature, quiet, respectful and responsible families only. If you are looking for a place to let it all hang out, please continue your search as this is not the property for you. No bachelor nor bachelorette parties. No graduation parties. No parties!

Our home is ideally suited for families with young children as it is located just steps away from South Haven's beautiful North Beach. The key to this location is that there are no huge hills nor endless staircases to climb up and down when walking to and from the beach. This is an important detail many property owners forget to share when describing the location of their property!!!

The B-Hive has five (5) bedrooms with three (3) full bathrooms. The bedrooms consist of four queen beds and the fifth bedroom has a twin over full bunk bed. All of the rooms are tastefully decorated providing a comfortable feel throughout.

Please click on our up to date availability calendar to see if your desired dates are currently available.

New fixtures, finishes and furnishings! The house has been remodeled with new finishes and appliances while maintaining the feel of it's original character and architectural details. The outdoor patio is approximately 400 square feet and is perfect for a barbecue after a relaxing day at the beach. Within walking distance are several excellent restaurants, parks, shops, and the new municipal marina.

With something for everyone, the B-Hive is without question the best location for your family's summer vacation!

Please click on our availability calendar to see if your dates are available.

Three full baths!!! We often hear from our guests that previously rented homes that accommodate eleven (11) guests with only one or two bathrooms. Do not spend your vacation waiting in line to use the bathroom. The B-Hive has three beautiful bathrooms for your use. Two full bathrooms are located on the first floor and one full bathroom is located on the second floor. The first floor south bathroom is a private en-suite bath dedicated to that bedroom. There is also a 50 gallon, high efficiency, quick recovery hot water heater so the last of your group taking a shower does not have to do so with ice cold water. Just a few of the many details we paid attention to when remodeling the B-Hive.

No hills! No stairs! No bluffs!: Remember these words when booking your family's summer vacation. How relaxing is the vacation when you have to walk up an endless flight of stairs after a long relaxing day at the beach?

Great location!

We are a family with 6 adults, 3 kids 4,5,7 and an infant. The property was in a great location! Quick walk to beach even with small children! Easy walk to restaurants and shops. House was clean, had a well stocked kitchen, everything you need. The 3 full bathrooms were ideal for our family. The dining table and huge couch were perfect for us all to be together! The washer/dryer was a plus to wash suits and towels after the beach. The host was very responsive when we reached out. The middle upstairs bedroom was quite warm for sleeping, a fan was provided but a window air conditioner would be helpful. The mattress in that room is worn. We are a family that doesn’t wear shoes in the house so we thought a tall shoe rack would come in handy. To summarize, the bhive was a great choice and we would highly recommend it to other families.

Location is everything

We had a pleasant stay however the bed upstairs desperately needs replaced and doesn’t offer a restful sleep at all. We have a year and a half and 4.5 year old who fell often in the living room area too since there is a step down into the living room so just be aware if you have young kids. Overall this rental worked for us but would have liked a more kid friendly place. You can’t beat this location!

About the host

Hosted by Michael Biedermann

We love South Haven! It is a place that is very special to our family. We have welcomed and said good bye to members of our family on the beach. Our children are the fifth generation in our family enjoying the beautiful beaches of South Haven.

Why they chose this property

We are parents of four young children. We wanted a beach house to escape from the hustle and bustle and focus on family. Historic Monroe Park is the neighborhood that is directly adjacent to the North Beach. The key to this location is there are no huge hills nor endless staircases to climb up and down when going to and from the beach. Kind of an important thing to remember with small children and grandparents who want to join you down at the waters edge.
