About this property
Idyllic Location - Walk to Town and Beaches
Lovely home with wrap-around front porch in idyllic location in the town of South Haven. Six short blocks to Dyckman Beach, eight short blocks to North Beach. Pass by the picturesque marina on the easy, four-block walk to downtown South Haven, a downtown filled with delectable restaurants, delightful boutique shops, and an old-fashioned movie theater. Steps to the nationally-renowned Kal Haven Trail, kitty corner from the Optimist Tot Lot Park, and just across Dyckman Bridge to Stanley Memorial Park. A fabulous location!
Description of Home: This home has a nice, open floor plan with a large, eat-in kitchen with newly painted cabinets, spacious dining and living rooms, and powder room on the first floor. There are three generously-sized bedrooms sleeping nine total and a full bath with shower/bathtub on the second floor. The home's entire exterior and interior have been tastefully painted. New central air conditioning allows you to relax comfortably indoors. Or you can relax on the wrap-around front porch or on the newly-rebuilt, private back deck overlooking woods, easily accessed from sliding glass doors in the dining room.
Distance from Some Major Cities: South Haven is just over two hours from Chicago and three hours from Detroit. The town and its amenities provide for a wonderful get-away for families and couples alike. A great vacation at a great price.

We enjoyed staying in this house and especially its location. It was one of the most well stocked cottages we have ever stayed in. It had everything we needed, and then some. It was an easy walk to town, and the neighborhood was charming. We would stay here again!
This house was just perfect for our family and had everything we needed. It was close to town and the beach as easily walkable. We had a wonderful time and loved being back in Michigan after years away.
The house was perfect for our family! We enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room, very clean property. The host was very prompt with any questions we had! We will definitely be back!
We absolutely loved the house and location. Kyle and Debbie were great and responded to questions quickly.
We hope to go back again next summer.
Thank you Kyle and Debbie
We had an excellent stay! The house was a perfect size for our group and the location even better. We were close to downtown and the beaches and close to several parks. Any questions we had were answered promptly and courteously. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
Long weekend - first beach vacation with little kids
This was the perfect house for our first family vacation! We have three little girls (5,3, and a baby) and we made great memories both at the beach and in this home. We especially loved the porch swing! It was so clean and very well stocked with everything we needed. We will definitely be back!
The house was adorable and comfortable. Only wish we would've known there wasn't an iron and a blow-dryer, which normally wouldn't matter, but we were in for a wedding, so those would have been very helpful.
We would stay there again though!
We felt very safe in this home and this neighborhood. We loved the ease of walking to local eateries. The beds were comfortable and the living room had a nice vibe to hang out and talk in the evenings. The reason I didn't give it a "5" is that it is a little rough around the edges. The porch needs a little attending to (sagging boards and a coat of paint) but it was very clean and convenient.
My best friend is getting married. A couple of friends and I decided let’s do some king salmon fishing. We aren’t drinkers and fishing is our thing. We had plenty of space and mins away from everything and the water. Thanks again will be back.
The house is just as it looks. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The beds are comfortable. Plenty of family friendly dvds, puzzles, and games if you have a rainy day or need down time. Nice large dining room and table with seating. The deck with a grill and the porch are great bonuses. The neighborhood is pleasant and safe. Cute little park on the corner if you have little kids. I have teens so we didn’t use it. The location is ideal!! Very short walk to town and beach.
Kyle and Debbie were very nice and quick on communication. The house is bright and well stocked with supplies which is always appreciated. Neighborhood is cute and across the street from a park which is ideal for littles (playground and basketball goal).We love the big front porch. The location is pretty good in regard to distance to beaches and the town, much more doable with rented bikes (less than 10 mins on bikes to North Beach, 20 min walk,15 mins to a small beach which was great to watch the sunset). We drove when all 6 of us were going to the beach as carrying all of our stuff would have been tricky.
We love this house! It was absolutely perfect for our family. The house had everything we needed and was super close to the beach! We'll definitely be back!
We had a wonderful stay at this location. Everything was neat and clean. Close to town without being in the middle of it. Property manager was very responsive when we had something break on us and had it fixed very fast. All in all a great property and a fantastic weekend
We enjoyed our stay at this lake house with 3 adults and 2 kids. The front porch with swing is a slice of heaven and the kitchen table was great for gathering after cooking dinner on the grill. Quick 5 minute drive to north and south beaches (Too far to walk to the beach with all of our beach gear and kids) and walkable to downtown area. The owners were very communicative.
