August Weekends Available!
“Home is where the heart is.” Footprints in the Sand is a beautifully cared for Victorian-style home that lies in the most ideal location: just two blocks away from South Haven's many shops and restaurants but still in a quiet residential neighborhood. The bright green exterior with unique wrap-around front porch is sure to make you feel like you’re on vacation from the minute you arrive. Furthermore, the house 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!
This spacious home has a functional floor plan with vintage charm for family and friends looking to create lasting memories. The interior décor has a nautical theme, original moldings, hardwood floors and antique furniture pieces. Upon entering the open concept living/dining room, the front windows bring in natural light overlooking the porch and peaceful tree-lined neighborhood street. The renovated kitchen is great for putting meals together and leads to a two-level deck and private back yard, perfect for entertaining. There are four large bedrooms to comfortably sleep up to 10 guests and two full updated bathrooms. The first-floor bedroom has a queen-sized bed, walk-in closet and on-suite bathroom with walk-in shower. Two of the upstairs bedrooms have queen-sized beds and the third bedroom has a twin/full bunk bed and separate twin bed. A second cozy family room area is outside of the upstairs bedrooms for another space to watch tv and unwind. Other amenities of the house include a large outdoor gas grill, central air conditioning/heating, washer/dryer (bring your own detergent) and ample off-street and on-street parking.
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. Multiple stores including Meijer, Aldi, Walmart, Dollar Tree and Menards are also down the street for anything you need to pick up.

We had an excellent stay at this property! The house was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The location was ideal, just a 5-minute walk to town and a 10-minute walk to the beach. The host was incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and convenient getaway.
We stayed with our family of 5 and friends with a family of 5 and location could not have been better! The property is set up well with seating and room for groups. Very thoughtful grouping of chairs and tables to promote conversations! Close to the beach, DT, restaurants, historic theatre ($4 tickets👍) and more! Property mgr was very easy to communicate with!
The house was a perfect walking distance to town. The house was perfect and I Loved the wrap around porch. I had a few questions which Anthony answered pretty quickly. I wish we could have had a fire pit but then we probably would have been too loud especially since quiet time in the neighborhood starts at 10pm.
Very nice property, lots of space for everyone, comfortable and quiet neighborhood. Enjoyed the porch and deck, and not too far from town or beaches! Dykman beach was great!
My family and I enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. The neighborhood is very nice, conveniently located, and the home itself was very comfortable. Check in process was simple.
We stayed with our 3 young kids and brother-in-law and had plenty of space to enjoy easy access to the beach, shopping and neighborhood strolls! Love the ample porches. Thank you!
Check-in was flawless. Kitchen facilities were sufficient. WiFi was better than my home. Walking distance to downtown and pier. Walking distance to beach, but easier to buy week pass and park right at beach. Owner was very communicative and helpful.
The property was located just a few mins walk from downtown. It was nice, clean, well stocked and perfect for a larger group of people. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend for anyone looking to go to SoHa
Extended Family of 10 enjoyed our stay. Property was as described, within walking distance of downtown South Haven. Plenty of room to enjoy our Girls Weekend.
Overall wonderful experience. Property was beautiful, spacious house, incredibly clean. And the location was great - a short bike ride to downtown and the beach. Would love to vacation there again!!
We enjoyed our stay at the Footprints in the Sand house. It was clean and comfortable and the location is great. The owners were very responsive to any questions that we had and took pride in making sure that we had a good vacation and a good stay at their house.
The property is very clean, comfortable & updated. We especially liked the wraparound front porch & roomy back porch. The neighborhood is very comfortable with lots of shade. Also appreciated the convenience of downtown & the water. It's a very walkable distance from the property. Would definitely stay here again!
Great overall experience. House was exactly what to be expected from the listing and a nice short walk to downtown south haven.

Clean, comfortable and walk to town
Great place, clean and comfortable. You can walk to town, although it is not close to the water. We used it for a golf getaway and we would try to stay again next year. Good communication with the owner, good cable TV and WiFi.
We have stayed at this house several times before this time was my turn to book it for our annual trip Gingerman raceway. Would recommend this property.

Comfortable and clean
The house is well cared for and has lots of amenities. The front porch was a joy to sit and read a book on.
