The Perfect Lake House

This is the perfect lakehouse for a family getaway (for any season)! Olga does an amazing job prepping the home and the overall decor and feel of the house is 100% on brand for South Haven. Just a couple blocks from the lake and downtown South Haven make it the perfect location for the town. We highly recommend!

Fantastic family home in South Haven

We had such a wonderful stay and Olga was an incredible host. The house has everything you will need--especially for the kids--and a lovely outdoor area to enjoy the beautiful weather. We walked to the beach each day and downtown at night for dinner--and even had fresh tomatoes from the garden as a treat. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend!!

Sabrina's Castle was beautiful and perfect for our week. It is spacious, beautiful with detail, and comfortable. It is a great location in South Haven, close to everything. I cannot say enough great things about the house or the rental experience. Olga is kind, very prompt in returning emails/questions, and thoughtful to so many other details. I highly recommend this home.

Amazing house and location!

From start, during and finish Olga was amazing! The house I can't say anything negative, you want for nothing in the house, bring your food and drinks and you are set! Our 2 year old loved the playroom. The backyard was perfect to rest in the hammock or let our daughter play. The location to Kids Corner you just can't beat. We were there everyday and location to beach stairs was close as well or to watch sunsets over lake Michigan. We rented a golf cart for quick and easy transportation to and from town, which the whole family enjoyed. Overall if I was to come back I would definitely stay here again. Oh and the lights in the front porch such a nice touch to relax outside, especially the couple times we had some morning rain.

Weekend Getaway

This home is in a great neighborhood and close to the beach and terrific playground. Also just a short walk downtown. Olga was very kind, welcoming, and responsive. We were 5 people and it was very comfortable. Accommodations for 10 would not be a problem. Would definitely return here for another visit

Fall Weekend Getaway with Family!

Our family stayed in this home as it is close to the beach and Kids Corner and not far from Kalamazoo where we had a wedding to attend. It was so clean and had everything you could possibly need for a vacation home. The kitchen appliances are new, the beds are comfortable and they even had toys and games for our 2 and a half year old granddaughter. We enjoyed the fire pit every night in the crisp fall temperatures and are hoping to come back in the summer to enjoy the beach and water! Olga was very responsive and made sure our stay at Sabina's Sandcastle was everything we were hoping for! The price is right, the home is great and close to everything. Don't pass this one by!

About the host

Hosted by Olga Voss

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

THIS home had ALL of the features we wanted.
* Ample square footage .. roomy .. not feeling crowded.
with an upstairs and downstairs living room/tv. The home was a two flat originally - so it has an upstairs and downstairs bathroom and living room
* Back and side yard .. room to play outside.
* Close to the beach and park - a few minute walk
* Close to harbor and town. a few minute walk.

So many homes sacrifice something .. all house and no yard ... all yard and no house - cramped. We wanted to walk to town and the beach and just park the car for the week after a grocery run.
Everyone can walk to and from the beach or town as they wish - kids, teens, adults .. movies, dinner, ice cream, night life.

We loved the 100+ year old home ...its old charm and updated amenities. Our beautiful home has a wonderful history and great vibe.

What makes this property unique

Our home has ALL of the pluses for a great stay. It sits on 1 1/2 city lots so there is extra room to gather and play. A good sized home AND outdoor living space within 5-10 minutes WALKING distance to a kids playground, beach and town.
- 2,400 sq foot home
- Front porch AND
- Yard Deck AND NEW PATIO
- Back and Side Yard AND
- Firepit AND
- Herb / tomato garden
- 2 blocks to playground / beach
- 4 blocks to town
