Bring the whole crew together at Whispering Waves, where beach days and big family nights feel easy under one roof.
Settle into the backyard as the kids run free in the fenced yard and the grown ups unwind by the fire pit.
Savor slow mornings on the porch swing with coffee in hand while the garden stays quiet around you
End the day with a soothing hot tub soak while the rest of the family relaxes close by.
Slip down to Lake Michigan for sandy toes, sunset skies, and pier walks everyone will remember.

Everything you could possibly need was provided and it was beautifully decorated. So much room for everyone! Our kids loved the pool, hot tub and outdoor eating area as well as the proximity to town where we had many fun adventures. They didn’t want to leave! Understandable, who would want to leave paradise?

Awesome Beach Home!!!

Had an amazing time hanging out with family. It was the perfect home for a large group, spacious and there was something fun for the whole family to enjoy. We especially enjoyed the game room with fooseball and air hockey. It was easy to walk to both the beach and downtown. Easy communication with the hosts. We definitely will be back!

Weekend fun

Very nice Victorian era home. Everything worked as listed. It was reminiscent of our grandparents home where we grew up, but had lots of modern amenities as well:) Loved the garage “fun box” and corn hole boxes, bikes and wagon. Quiet neighborhood with lots of area homes undergoing refurbishment. Would recommend to a friend and would stay again. Maybe winter?

Quickly planned family trip!

Family wanted an end of summer trip, so we found this big house and it worked out great! For two nights, there were 12 of us and they surprised us with a 50th Anniversary celebration on the large backyard covered deck. The house is older, but kept up well. With the 6 bedrooms, there were lots of comfortable bed choices. Kids loved the pool. The two living room areas with large TV’s were a nice option for such a large group. Owner was quick to respond to problems or questions. I prefer to be able to look out at the water since I spend most of my time in the house, but the family was content to walk or drive to the beach and town. Ate at Cranes Pies, and my favorite Clementines. All had an enjoyable time!

Welcome! I’m a fellow traveler (45+ countries), musician, and yogi, and I’ve been part of the Airbnb community since 2011.

Whether you’re here to explore, unwind, work remotely, or celebrate something special, I’m here to help make your stay feel effortless and memorable.

Why they chose this property

Whispering Waves is built for the kind of South Haven trip groups actually want: quick beach access, a fully fenced backyard with extra space to relax, and enough entertainment at home that you don’t have to plan every minute. Do beach mornings and pier sunsets, then come back for pool time, year-round hot tub soaks, and easy movie nights in two separate living rooms. It’s the rare stay that feels both fun and effortless, whether you’re here with family or friends.

What makes this property unique

Fenced yard + playscape + sandbox: kids are happy, parents can exhale.
Seasonal heated pool + year-round hot tub: vacation vibes all day, every day.
Two living rooms: adults get quiet time while kids have their zone.
Arcade + foosball: built-in fun between beach trips.
Minutes to beaches + downtown: less driving, more doing.
Sleeps 16: great for multi-family summer trips without feeling cramped.
Pet-friendly: bring the whole crew.
