About this property

GORGEOUS Remodeled South Beach Cottage - 2 blocks from the shore!

Step into our sunny-bright beach cottage with a farmhouse flare that will make you feel so welcome and cozy you won't want to leave! You will feel pampered by the personal touches and extras that come with your stay at this vacation home. Fetch some morning brew from our coffee bar and enjoy the morning peace nestled in the rockers on the front porch. Enjoy some family fun in the sun and sand followed with a home-cooked meal in the kitchen (or outdoor grill) full of all new appliances to meet all of your cooking needs. Enjoy your meal at the kitchen bar or at the dining room table amidst the warm glow of the fireplace. There are 2 TV areas for together cuddles or winding down family time. This home carries a small footprint, but feels incredibly roomy with high ceilings and open floor plan. Despite breeching 100 years, everything in this home is BRAND NEW!
Family games, toys and puzzles are great for inside fun, while outdoor pleasure is just around the block at Kids Corner and hiking/biking trails are down the street (Van Buren Trail) or across town (Kal Haven Trail). There's bike, moped and gulf cart rentals in the area to help you get around. Boat and jetski rentals can bring summer water fun.
Children will love the custom-made bunk experience (very fort-like) that has 2 twin beds above 2 full beds.
Downstairs bedroom has en suite full bathroom with tub/shower, glass enclosed. Upstairs full bathroom offers a walk-in shower, glass enclosed.
For your convenience a brand new washer/dryer is ready to assist!
The beach is two blocks away and festivities, restaurants, shops and winter ice rink are all in walking distance as well (6 blocks). Be sure to check out South Haven's calendar of festivals and events to enhance your time here. Evening ice-cream runs are a must! The harbor is also in walking distance (about 5 blocks) and offers a kids splash & play, live music, benches and grills or just pull up a yard chair and watch the boats go by. Small dogs under 20 lbs welcome with a $200 fee.

We enjoyed a long weekend get away to the lovely state of Michigan and loved our accommodations. The house is conveniently located, has adequate parking and in a quiet neighborhood. It is adorable in its decorations and fully functional. the owners were very nice and allowed us a little early access to get the baby down for a nap. Highly recommend this special home!

Loved our time here!

The house was super cute and had plenty of room for our family of 7, 4 adults, 2 teens, and a toddler! We were able to walk to everything, the shops, restaurants, and the beach without any issues! The street that it’s on is super cute and seems very safe! There were people walking everywhere, just seems like a cute little beach town! It was our first time visiting Michigan and we will definitely be back and hopefully be able to rent this same house!

Beautiful House!

This house was so pretty! You could tell the homeowner put in a lot of time making sure there was everything a visitor might need during their stay. It was also very nicely appointed. Felt right at home from the moment we walked in the door. It’s also so close to the beach while also being in a great neighborhood. Everyone was so friendly… This is definitely a must stay at house that makes you feel at home!

Just Lovely!

Cottage is perfectly located 2 blocks from Lake Michigan and less than half a mile from downtown. The neighborhood was both beautiful and quiet and the cottage was tastefully updated throughout. It perfectly suited our needs. Not only did we not have any issues, the owners supplied several thoughtful items and a welcome gift. We'll be back!

Clean, cute cottage 2 blocks from beach

The place was exactly as expected from the listing. Nicely updated with plenty of beds and space. Very clean. Appropriate walking distance to the beach (2 blocks) and 1 block to the kids corner playground which was perfect for us and our 3 kids. The only thing I wish this place had a private outdoor space to grill and hangout. Not many rental owners leave you a welcome card and gift along with cute soaps and sunscreen! That was a lovely surprise. I recommend this place to anyone and would definitely stay here again. We love visiting South Haven!

Beautiful Home. Perfect Location.

Our stay was wonderful. This house is beautifully decorated, clean, well thought out and perfect for our family. While we spent a lot of time together in this home playing games, watching the Olympics, having drinks on the porch, grilling out and enjoying the fire pit, it was also a perfect layout for us to retreat to our own space when needed. The kids took over the upstairs (bedroom, bunk, TV area and bathroom) and my husband and I the downstairs. This home is also in a great location. So close to the beach and Kids Corner and a nice walk to downtown. We've rented in South Haven for many years, and this rental is one of our favorites! Looking forward to coming back. Thanks for being great hosts Andy and Daniall.

Beachside Haven with Thoughtful Touches**

From the moment we stepped into this vacation rental, it was evident that it wasn't just any ordinary place - it was a carefully crafted haven. Perfectly located, it offered easy access to both the pristine beach and the bustling shopping district, giving us the best of both worlds. The owners have truly thought of everything to ensure guests feel right at home. From the well-stocked kitchen with all the essentials to the little touches like plush towels and a beach-ready kit, every detail was meticulously considered to guarantee our comfort. The decor was impeccable - a harmonious blend of beach elegance with modern flair. It wasn’t just aesthetic either; every piece of furniture was as comfortable as it was beautiful, giving the space a warm and welcoming feel. Cleanliness is always a top priority when choosing a rental, and this home exceeded all expectations. Every room shone, the linens were fresh, and there was a noticeable standard of care in maintaining the property. All in all, this rental was the epitome of a dream vacation home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a seamless and memorable stay by the beach. Kudos to the thoughtful owners!

My family and I enjoyed a relaxing stay in SOHA. The house had plenty of space for 2 adults and 4 children. Loved the quiet front porch for morning coffee and reading! And two full bathrooms was a bonus! Close to the beach and a short walk into town. Would be happy to stay here again…highly recommend!

Andy and Daniall are excellent hosts! Their home is well-stocked with everything you could need on visit. The house is so clean! We’ve stayed in many rentals over the years, but none have ever wowed with cleanliness. This one is spotless!! The location is great, too. South Haven is a treasure and we hope to be back again.

About the host

Hosted by Andy & Daniall Poulsen

Host profile image
High school sweathearts - we married at the end of our college years and South Haven was/is our happy place! It is where we were when we became engaged and where we spent our honeymoon...and endless numbers of dates throughout our years :) Buying a vacation home here has been on our goal list for many years and we are so excited to offer opportunities for other couples and families to build memories here in South Haven too!

Why they chose this property

I do feel like fate was with us in this home purchase - - - We happened upon Sheron, the previous owner, while on a date and riding bikes looking at the beautiful homes on Maple street. Sheron asked us if we were from the area and we immediately enjoyed her company...sharing our dreams of owning a home here. We took a tour of her family home and launched plans to purchase. Such an awesome opportunity and we are beyond excited to finally launch our first VRBO here with South Beach Cottage! Maple Street is the only boulevard in SoHa and it comes with some neat history. In my humble opinion, it sits in the sweet spot of SoHa as it is close enough to the water to hear the waves and close enough to the festivities to walk to. It is perfect!

What makes this property unique

This was a complete remodel project with a new floor containing newly added rooms to this home. All rooms had a make over and all beds, bathrooms, kitchen appliances, countertops and cabinets are brand new. You will LOVE the beach time you get to spend and will LOVE the comfort of a home that is catered to your enjoyment and comfort! My husband and I reside only an hour away, so if an emergency or issue arises, we can be there pretty quickly :)
