About this house rental
The Oakland North is our home and is available for rent to mature, responsible and respectful families only. If you are looking to rent a place to host a party of any sort, please do not consider the Oakland North. We ask all of our guests to be very considerate of our neighbors and keep both voice and music levels to a minimum. We thank you in advance for your cooperation with being both good guests and good neighbors while staying in our home.
The Oakland North is a historic landmark building which was built in 1927 and originally known as Mendelson's Oakland Hotel. In the 1970's it was converted into two separate residences and the north half provides over 2200 square feet of beautiful living space. There are four (4) spacious bedrooms (two queen beds, one full bed and the fourth bedroom has two sets of twin bunk beds) with three (3) full bathrooms. Note: We added an ensuite master bathroom on the second floor in Spring 2023. It is both beachy and beautiful!
The Oakland North boasts all of the original architectural details of a bygone era including ten foot high ceilings, arched double hung windows with true divided lights, original oak hardwood flooring on the entire first floor, heart pine wood flooring on the second floor, stain grade millwork trim throughout with operable transom vents above the second floor bedroom doors. The feeling of the home is truly unique and feels as if you are in a historic turn of the century beach house. The finishes, fixtures and furnishings all add to the overall casual relaxed feeling and remind you that you are 'away from it all'.
While we love animals, we respectfully ask that you please leave your pets at home. Please do not ask us if we will make an exception to this rule.
Please check our availability calendar to see if your desired dates are available. If your dates are not available, send us a message anyway. We might be able to accommodate your family at one of our other homes.
Thanks for taking the time to read our VRBO listing. We look forward to hearing from you and hope that we can accommodate your family as our guests in South Haven at the Oakland North!

1-minute walk to the beach and a 10-15 minute walk to downtown South Haven…you cannot beat this location! The property is beautiful and spacious; it has a lake house vibe without losing its historic charm. Will definitely stay again!

We have been coming to South Haven for over twenty years. This is the first time we stayed on the North Beach side.

What's not to like about this house and location? It was perfect for our extended family gathering.

If your family is anything like mine, you'll love the open layout of the first floor. We were able to cook while talking to everyone in the living room and at the card table. Every pot/pan you'd need was provided as well (its the little things). So nice! The smart TV in the living room had Spotify, Netflix, you name it - such a nice amenity you don't realize you miss. Plenty of seating and blankets on the first floor.
The beds and pillows were all new and super comfortable. Great water pressure in the shower. Multiple washers/dryers which I'm sure are great for summer rentals. Walking distance to town. You can see the lake out of the front door and the Black River in the back. We loved it, just wish we could have stayed longer!!
