Beautiful South Haven Lake House; Newly Renovated and Decorated; Family-oriented

Our home is a beautiful Cape Cod that has been professionally decorated throughout. It is the epitome of a contemporary lake house: Light, colorful, stylish, with top-level upgrades. Plenty of space -- indoors and on the large back patio -- to relax. It offers 4 spacious bedrooms, 2 full baths, a large kitchen and dining area. The backyard features a large patio enough to comfortably accommodate large extended families -- gas grill, gas fire pit, and other features as well!

The location on the vrbo map is not accurate (see picture of map with correction location in our photos). We are 1/2 mile from the South Beach blue stairs, and about 1 mile from downtown.

Minimum 2-night stay except for peak season (end of May to beginning of September) when we only rent weekly (Saturday to Saturday).

In 2015, we did a COMPLETE overhaul of the home: Literally taking it down to the studs and putting in NEW kitchen cabinets, microwave, bathroom cabinets and features, washer and dryer, and carpeting and flooring throughout. The home also features a stainless steel stove, toaster, coffee pot, blender, mixer, outdoor gas grill, fire pit, air conditioning, comfortable 300+ count sheets, etc. Secured WiFi included, as well as a kitchen tv and large screen tv in the living room both of which have premier cable, access to many different channels, etc. We also provide an extensive array of board games, puzzles, and other interactive activities!

THIS IS NOT YOUR BASIC RENTAL.

Our home is special to us, and we are picky; if you are someone who appreciates the nice things in life and can take care of our home as if they were your own, this rental is for you. We require a security deposit of $600 which is fully refundable when the home is left as you found it.

The house was great for a party of 7 plus a child. The main floor was spacious so we never felt crowded. The backyard was great…large dining table, fire pit and swing set for the little ones. We definitely would stay here again.

FABULOUS HOME!

This was a stellar place to stay! We have been coming to SOHA for 11 summers and this was one of our favorite places. If we hadn’t just impulsively purchased our own cottage while in town, we would stay here every year!! Great location, beautiful home, quiet street. Short walk to beach!

Great experience!

Perhaps my best VRBO experience yet. The house was very clean and well kept. The location was great - just a 15 minute walk to the beautiful, clean, kid-friendly Kid's Beach in South Haven. We will definitely rent again.

Family Reunion Time

Especially enjoyed the walk to the beach, the backyard furnishings and the amazing kitchen. We cooked a meal for 60 people (although we did not have 60 people at the house) and had plenty of counter space. Had the feel of a lake cottage!!!!

BFF Girls Getaway

The house was perfect! 5 high school friends getting away to celebrate us turning 60. Quiet location. So close to downtown South Haven. Great spaces in the home to visit and play some games. But enough private rooms to have "me" time of needed. Would definitely rent this home again!

Great week!

We had a fantastic week at this property. The house was spotless, and the kitchen was well stocked, we had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation. The weather cooperated, and we ate every single meal out on the back patio. We enjoyed the gas fire pit, played games in the side yard, access to the bike trail to Van Buren state park was two blocks away, and the neighborhood was very nice and quiet. Mark was extremely communicative and responded quickly when we reached out with a question. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect home for a family wanting to enjoy time together

This property was very accurate to the description! We loved the great backyard, the playground got lots of use. Great yard to play croquet or throw a frisbee. Kitchen was incredibly spacious with everything you need for cooking in. The game closet was frequently used. Plenty of places for everyone to eat together. Rooms were perfect for our group. While 2 bathrooms was a concern, it was no issue. And the walking distance was perfect to the beach, downtown, Kids Corner, sunsets. We will return!
