“Home is the nicest word there is.” The Cast Away is a beautiful Victorian style home built in the early 1900s with updates to meet the needs of your vacation getaway. It’s the perfect central location being in a quiet neighborhood, yet only moments away from downtown South Haven’s restaurants, shops, taverns, marina, playgrounds and the local movie theatre. Multiple stores including Meijer, Aldi, Walmart, Dollar Tree and Menards are also down the street for anything you need to pick up. Furthermore, the Cast Away is within a mile of the shores of North Beach - a staple point of South Haven. This makes it possible to enjoy the home, town, beach and amazing sunsets all within your stay!

Activity options are endless to make your vacation a memorable one: biking or hiking on the Kal-Haven Trail, gathering for a relaxing beach day, visiting the Maritime Museum, taking boat rides or watching boats at the marina, going between the splashpad and playgrounds while stopping for an ice cream, enjoying local breweries/wineries, and having one-on-one or entire family/friend time while hanging out for a backyard barbeque. This is just the beginning of what this picturesque Lake Michigan town has to offer.

The Cast Away's spacious floor plan has a welcome-home appeal to meet the needs of families and friends looking to create meaningful memories. The interior has a nautical theme with hardwood cherry floors, antique furniture pieces, unique woodwork and built-ins, and central air conditioning/heating. With five large bedrooms, it comfortably sleeps 12 guests. The first-floor bedroom has a queen-sized bed, ample closet space, and an adjacent full bathroom. There are four bedrooms upstairs where three have queen-sized beds and one has two sets of bunk beds. One of the queen bedrooms has a 40” smart TV for you to provide your own streaming services (or bring your own streaming device). The second floor has a very large, updated bathroom featuring a beautiful arched ceiling, beadboard walls, attractive tile and a linen alcove. A stackable washer and dryer in the upstairs hallway outside of the bedrooms is a convenient bonus for guests (bring your own detergent). On the main floor, the L-shaped couch in the comfortable living room is a great place to unwind at the end of your day. The 55” smart TV has a Roku Soundbar where you can log in to your own streaming services; an extra USB port is available if you’d like to bring your own streaming device. The dining room with beautiful bay window is perfect for meals and games. The Cast Away has a front and back porch to sit and soak in the surroundings of South Haven’s tree-lined neighborhood while enjoying your morning coffee or evening beverages. You can even see your children play at Tot Lot Park right across the street from the front porch! Located on a corner lot, there is plenty of street parking and two driveway spaces available. The sizeable yard with a secluded back patio is a favorite of our past guests, and a corn hole game is provided!

South Haven is a timeless vacation experience that has been enjoyed for generations; the Cast Away is a blissful escape from the troubles of everyday life. Partake in the stay you and your family or friends deserve. It's time to start your own tradition for years to come!
