With original charm to spare plus all the modern updates you want, you’ve hit the jackpot with this darling home. Easy access to all of South Haven is at your doorstep, with downtown’s shops, restaurants, and cafés within walking distance just a few blocks north. The beach and Kids' Corner Park - also within walking distance - awaits just to the west. Hiking, mountain biking, golf, tennis, wineries and more abound in the summer, and snowmobiling and cross-country skiing are nearby in the winter.

At home, you’ll love the huge, enclosed back yard, with plenty of room for the family to spread out. Start the day with coffee at the patio picnic table and end it gathered around the fire pit, with wood thoughtfully provided.

Inside, you’ll find a light, bright space, with original hardwood floors, modern fixtures, stylish, beachy decor, and beautiful blue wainscoting. The covered porch in front opens to the combined living and dining space, making it easy to gather as a group. The fully updated kitchen features sleek stainless steel appliances, warm butcher-block countertops, and a delicate white-tile backsplash. Spend the day exploring or lounging at the beach, and then return to relax in the central AC at home. Stream a movie or grab a board game for some more together time, and call it a night in one of four well-appointed bedrooms, each as thoughtfully decorated as the rest of the home. Your first perfect South Haven day is coming to a close - with another in store for tomorrow.

We loved all the little extras this cozy home came with- from all the necessities in the kitchen, grilling essentials, things to entertain the kids and the delicious smelling shower extras. I felt like I was at a home away from home and would recommend to anyone who is looking for a close location to downtown! We will definitely be back!!

Our party of four (2 adults, 2 kids) had plenty of room to spread out in this older home located about five blocks from South Beach. Downtown and Meijer was just a few minutes drive away as well. Very nicely decorated but could use a few tweaks to make it even more functional. There are several stairs to enter the residence, was a little tricky for the grandparent in our party. Pretty clean and comfortable for the most part. Laundry is in the basement and must be accessed from the outside (we did not use so can’t comment on those facilities). Overall a great place for the location.

Great location but very old home. Served its purpose for our long weekend.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2025
Overall, the house was as depicted and pretty clean. Beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the household essentials in the kitchen and bathrooms which made packing easier! The walk to the beach was about 6 blocks, which was nice as we didnt have to search for parking.The downside was the AC. Its an older home with an addition which is normal for the area, but very little cool air ( and i mean very little!) Made its way to the upstairs bedrooms. Only one of which had a ceiling fan. The seating in the living room accomodated 4 or 5 (2 loveseats) so it was shy of what youd expect for a home that advertises room for 8.The property is managed by Vacasa and similar to other guests, responsiveness was spotty as its centralized, not local. Overall, the property was fine but for what we paid, not nearly the value I'd expect.
