About this property

Cottage on the Corner - 2 blks to South Beach

3 Bedroom 2 bath close to South Beach and Kid’s Korner Park. Maple St Cottage on the Corner is located in beautiful South Haven, MI in a wonderful family friendly neighborhood. This cute house turned 100 years old in 2020! Walking distance, only 2 blocks to South Beach using the Blue Stairs. Your kids will love the big waves and sandy shoreline of South Beach during the day and evening walks into town for ice cream before watching the Lake MI sunset.

Our fun house is centrally located to the Kid’s Corner park and blue stair beach! A quick walk towards downtown to shopping, restaurants, splash pad and the river. Please note that both bathrooms are located on the main floor & this cute cottage is over 100 years old!

The whole house is available for your use!

We are available via phone and text during your stay!

Blue stair beach of South Beach

Driveway can hold 4 cars and street parking is available in front of the house. The city does not allow cars to be parked over the sidewalk or in the yellow painted areas on the street. Please do not park on the road between 2:30-6:30 am November 15 - March 15 for street to be plowed.

Both bathrooms are on the main floor due to layout because the cottage is over 100 years old. There is a small step up and down from the living room to the dining room & the dining room to the kitchen from an addition put on 50 years ago. Make sure to watch your step, reflection tape is on the steps.

Cottage on the Corner

We enjoyed a short, 5-day stay here early in the season. The accommodations were clean and well located; the only shortcoming was in the size and location of the bathrooms. Supplies were adequate and so were towels and linens.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay! Yes, our house is challenging in size and space due to the fact that it is over 100 years old and we have tried to maintain its integrity.

Great location

4 blocks from the beach and 1/2 a mile from the downtown shops - was the perfect place for my girlfriends and I to stay. Although 'in town' it was quiet enough to open the windows to listen to the waves without traffic noise. Will definitely be back!

This is a fantastic home for families--it was perfect for our crew of five. The location is ideal. You can see the lake from the side yard, and it's just one block to a wonderful playground. The house is cute, clean, with a great beach-y vibe. The porch is fantastic; it is shady with lots of comfy seating. And the kitchen was the best stocked rental I've ever been to. All of the basics are there--coffee, cooking oil, spices, and the utensils and pots/pans, etc. were like-new and of good quality. If I had a question, it was answered within moments. Great stay.

Perfect location!

We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage in South Haven. It was very clean and the location was absolutely perfect- just a quick walk down the street to the playground and beach, and a short walk to town. The house had everything we needed and we loved the front porch and appreciated the old house charm. We would love to go back!

Great location and front porch.

Great location and the front porch is amazing. The upstairs bedrooms are not ideal if you need to use a bathroom during the night because the floors squeak like crazy. The house itself is perfect for a small group and you can’t beat the location!
