About this property
Michiana Apartment #2: Two bedroom one bath apartment in downtown South Haven!
The Michiana Apartment #2 is available to quiet, mature, responsible and respectful adults and families only. We do not host guests that are loud, inconsiderate or disrespectful to our other guests and our neighbors.
Michiana #2 is a two bedroom, one bath first floor apartment ideally located on the northeast corner of Michigan Avenue and Indiana Avenue in downtown South Haven, Michigan. Please note there are four steps up to the back deck leading into the apartment from the driveway.
The Michiana's original structure was built in the late 1800s as a large single family home. Years ago it was converted into four separate apartments with two one bedroom apartments and two two bedroom apartments. Apartment #2 has two spacious bedrooms with one queen bed in each bedroom. Each bedroom also has a closet, a dresser and a chair. The living room has comfortable seating as well as a table and chairs for dining or a game of cards. Apartment #2 has had both mechanical and cosmetic updates while still retaining some of the original historic details and finishes. The apartment has a very functional floor plan (see pictures) that can comfortably accommodate a family of four or two adult couples.
There is shared outdoor deck directly adjacent to the apartment with western exposure which gets nice afternoon sun. There is also a Weber grill on the deck making it convenient to grill lunch or dinner outside. Directly next to the deck is the off street parking area so you do not have to carry your luggage or your groceries too far when loading and unloading your car.
The location is truly ideal. The Michiana is what we like to call 'Close, but not too close!'. By this we mean that it is an easy walk home from the restaurants and night life on Phoenix Street, yet far enough away that you can still sleep peacefully at night with the windows open. The walk to South Beach is only three blocks west straight down Michigan Avenue. This is the best of small town Americana! Have your morning coffee and sweet roll on a bench on Phoenix Street and watch people stroll by. Then head back home to change into your swim suit and walk down to the beach for a day of fun in the sun. We feel the Michiana is centrally located between downtown South Haven and the beautiful South Beach.
We hope you agree and can come to South Haven and stay at the Michiana. Remember...
Location. Location. Location.
We will see you at the beach!

I asked the guest why she gave a 6/10 review. She responded as follows:
"Low water pressure in shower. Bedside lights in bedroom by kitchen do not work. Bedside lights in front bedroom are too low to read by. Most likely due to our age we were unable to figure out the TV. We have stayed with you prior but in a different apartment. Love the location and we are not inside much when visiting. The one bedroom we rented prior was great. We would stay again due to location and cleanliness."
All of the items mentioned in her review were addressed and corrected immediately. Thank you for taking the time to read our reviews and our responses. We try to provide our guests with clean, well kept and comfortable accommodations. When we receive constructive feedback, we address the issues immediately. We also ask our guests to let us know of any issues during their stay and try to fix them to help improve our guests experience. We look forward to hearing from you and hope we can accommodate you as our guests in South Haven at the Michiana Apartment #2!
Sincerely,
Michael Biedermann
Great location, convenient to everything. Our only real issue was that the Wi-Fi did not work the whole weekend.

If the guest would of informed me that they were unable to log on to the wifi, I would have been able to help them. The guest never mentioned this to me. The three other apartments were rented during this guests stay and noone had a problem with the wifi. We have an Xfinity app which advises us if theIr is a problem with the wifi. We did not hear from the other guests staying at the three other apartments in the building that the wifi was not working nor did we receive any notifications from Xfinity which indicates tgat the Wifi was on the entire time the guest was there. As a good VRBO guest you should always notify your host immediately so that they can fix whatever problem you are having!
We had a wonderful time during our stay at Michiana apartments in South Haven! Our place was super clean, comfortable and close to the Downtown and Beach! Michael Biedermann, the property manager, was very helpful by sending updated information and responding quickly to my questions! We had a great time and hope to be back next year!! Thank you for making our friends getaway truly heavenly!!
From booking to arrival and throughout our stay, the host and the accommodations were exceptional. This is a definite return for us. Quiet neighborhood with comfortable furnishings created exactly the reunion we were hoping for with longtime friends.
We had a wonderful time and the location is amazing! Close to the beach and downtown! The house was spotless and very homey feeling. Our family had an amazing time and would return!!
Sisters trip to check out South Haven. The weather was beautiful, the apartment was clean and fit our needs perfectly. Easy walking to downtown shops & eateries along with a great boardwalk to the lake.
Great place to stay, walking distance to restaurants, shops and wineries. Communication with owner was top notch and the place was very comfortable and clean. Would definitely go back!

Thanks for taking the time to write a review and your positive comments. We hope to accommodate you back again as our guests in South Haven soon!
We loved our stay at the two bedroom apartment. Loved being able to walk to the beach and downtown easily from the apartment. Would stay here again, hopefully soon!
We had an awesome week at this location. Apartment was very clean, cozy with a well equipped kitchen. It was in an ideal location within walking distance of everything. Would definitely stay here again.
This was a great location in South Haven! Very nice property inside and out. We loved having a grill and deck to enjoy family dinners outside. Would most definitely come back!
This was our second time staying and we liked it even better the second time. Everything you need within east walking distance to downtown and the beach. We’ll be back again.
Great location close to everything South Haven has to offer. Unit was clean and in working order. The bedding and furniture is showing wear, but for the price we were satisfied. Bathroom is nicely updated. We had an enjoyable stay.
This apartment is cozy and comfortable. The bathroom is nicely updated. The location is perfect! The host was very flexible and easy to communicate with.
Third trip to South Haven at this time of year - first time at Michiana. Location was fabulous - laundry on site a plus. Sheets in front bedroom were the softest I’ve ever encountered - just wow! Only thing I’d suggest is adding a scissors to the kitchen - lol!

About the host
Hosted by Michael Biedermann
We live in the north suburbs of Chicago however we feel South Haven is our home away from home. We can not say enough great things about the community and the people of South Haven. We both have very demanding schedules and spending time together in South Haven allows us to focus on each other and our four children.
Why they chose this property
It seems with most beach towns in Southwest Michigan, if you stay at the beach, you have to drive in to town. Conversely, if you stay in town, you have to drive to the beach. South Haven offers the ability to walk to both. The South Beach and downtown area are only a short three block walk from the Michiana. Life is good and the living is easy!
What makes this property unique
We enjoy the easy access to the South Beach as well as the less than five minute walk to downtown South Haven. Once the groceries are purchased, there is no need for your car again. We have said it so many times but it is true... once you come to South Haven, it feels as though all of life's struggles seem to be lifted. We hope you are able to experience the same feeling!
SPECIAL NOTE: This apartment is located in the same building as our other listing: vrbo 440330 which is right next door! This adds one additional bedroom and one additional bath. A great set up for additional friends and family!!!
