About this house rental
This is a beautiful, large, super-clean, newly renovated SIX bedroom home. Formerly used as a Boarding House and a law office, this home was saved and fully rehabbed approximately 15 years ago. There are 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths up (master bath is one of these), 2 bedrooms & 1/2 bath (with washer & dryer), dining room, living room, kitchen down. It sleeps 15 people in beds (4 queens & 7 twins). Additional area down (Living room/foyer) has single convertible beds. 15 adults can sleep in beds, with an additional adult in a sleeper, plus plenty of room for additional children 2 & under.
This lovely historic home was fully remodeled maintaining the character of the 100+ year-old home that it is. In 2009, this home was one of seven homes feature on the SOUTH HAVEN HOSPICE HOME TOUR, a Christmas Holiday home tour featuring 5 or 6 historic homes that the community is invited to tour.
The home offers a nice covered front porch to sit and relax and people watch! Rear of home also has a covered deck to relax and side entry has grill.
1 block from downtown South Haven, about five blocks to Lake Michigan South Beach! Walk to all of the local restaurants and taverns. Bike rental located than 200 yards away. Less than 1/4 mile to Clementine's, Tello's, Maria's, Captain Nemo's, Brick's Corner Pizza, Taste, and Black River Tavern. New restaurant open right across street for breakfast & lunch - 6 Chicks. Less than 1/2 mile to the Idler, York's and Captain Lou's on the river! There are two Antique Malls also within walking distance for the antique lovers! You can walk to the restored South Haven Lighthouse and watch the sunsets! Farmer's Market in Season is only 2 blocks from you and in the winter this is the ice skating arena! The fireworks are a 5 block walk and the parades, including the 4th of July & Blueberry Festival Parade are steps away from you!
There are vineyards 5 or 10 minutes from South Haven, Tulip Festival in Holland (30 minutes), art & craft fairs are all within walking or 3 minute drive. This is one of the most convenient locations for anyone visiting South Haven Festivals!

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2025
Bedrooms and bathrooms were fine except for the running toilet downstairs and the skimpy toilet paper and soap. Refrigerator dripped water from freezer down into the fridge. Dining room was tricky to configure for 13 of us, but we figured it out. Parking for 4 vehicles was also tricky, but doable. Porches were nice. Bike rental close by was nice. Biggest negative was the traffic and noise on Broadway St.

The house is big with lots of room. There were 4 couples and 5 kids in our group. We each had our own space to spread out. It was very nice to have 3 bathrooms. We had room to play family games, one night we grilled, and we truly appreciated being able to bring our fur baby. We were able to walk to South Beach and shopping. The house was clean and the owner was easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend for a large group.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2023
The house was extremely clean and certainly met our group size. The kitchen appliances were very nice. The primary bedroom and bath were excellent. The attached bathroom to that bedroom was great! Very spacious. Washer and dryer were handy. Front porch wasn’t fancy, but we enjoyed sitting there and visiting. Right across the street from the best breakfast spot in South Haven (Six Chicks). Sits on a busy street, so the street noise was very noticeable in the front rooms. Parking was spacious for the three cars in our group. Could easily have handled a couple more. The beach chairs were a great bonus. Didn’t use the yard and fire pit as the bushes and plants around the house are a bit over grown. About two minute drive to the South Beach and a 3-minute walk to Downtown South Haven. 5-7 minute drive to Sherman’s Ice Cream and Three Blondes Brewing. There was a mixup on check in date, so we didn’t get the door code before we arrived. Had to make several calls before getting a response about how to get in. We finally got contacted by phone 20-30 minutes after we arrived. The owner was very apologetic, but we’ve always been contacted by a VRBO owner at least a day or two in advance. Would definitely rent this property again, though! Lovely home!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2022
The house as a whole was adequate; kitchen was nice size, dining room tablet was able to accommodate a family if 15 in 2 shifts, so it was good. However the chairs in the eating area were terrible- they were cushioned chairs without any cushioning whatsoever—you kinda sunk into the seat on all the chairs, bedrooms were a nice size and able to accommodate a family of 15 however the beds need upgrading, the adults as well as the kids after 3 nights had backaches. Towels were clean and adequate. The only bathtub in the house had a hole in it so the owner asked us to not use the tub and only use the shower, using the tub might cause water damage to the room below. The inside of the house was however clean.
The outside of the house was overgrown with weeds . Was not able to use much less get to the backyard. The ramp going up to the grill on the side of the house was also overgrown with weeds. The sitting area around the firepit was also overgrown with weeds.
The picture of the house on VRBO is a misrepresentation of what the outside of the house looks like.
We would not book again.
