About the host
Hosted by Anna Bella
Welcome! I’m a fellow traveler (45+ countries), musician, and yogi, and I’ve been part of the Airbnb community since 2011. I love helping guests experience the neighborhood like a local, from can’t-miss spots to hidden gems. Our spaces are designed for comfort, fun, and ease, with thoughtful touches and a smooth, stress-free check-in so you can settle in right away. Whether you’re here to explore, unwind, work remotely, or celebrate something special, I’m here to help make your stay feel effortless and memorable.
Why they chose this property
Whispering Waves is built for the kind of South Haven trip groups actually want: quick beach access, a fully fenced backyard with extra space to relax, and enough entertainment at home that you don’t have to plan every minute. Do beach mornings and pier sunsets, then come back for pool time, year-round hot tub soaks, and easy movie nights in two separate living rooms. It’s the rare stay that feels both fun and effortless, whether you’re here with family or friends.
What makes this property unique
Fenced yard + playscape + sandbox: kids are happy, parents can exhale.
Seasonal heated pool + year-round hot tub: vacation vibes all day, every day.
Two living rooms: adults get quiet time while kids have their zone.
Arcade + foosball: built-in fun between beach trips.
Minutes to beaches + downtown: less driving, more doing.
Sleeps 16: great for multi-family summer trips without feeling cramped.
Pet-friendly: bring the whole crew.
