Welcome to H.O.M.E.S. Haven, a Victorian home--built on the first residential street in South Haven in the mid-late 1800s--updated with many modern conveniences, yet retaining its Victorian charm. Ready to host families and groups looking to enjoy the lovely town of South Haven. Only two blocks from downtown, 13 min walk to the beach, or if you want to ride around town, rent a golf-cart/scooter from South Haven Scooter Rental, just two blocks away.
H.O.M.E.S. is the acronym for the 5 great lakes, Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior.
Each room is named after one of the great lakes, which is pictured on each bedroom door.

The home boasts gigabit internet speeds for work or play. Power strips/lamps with USB charging ports are located conveniently throughout the home.
Downstairs, the dining room accommodates a 14-person table. The living room harbors a sectional and a swivel-loveseat with a large Frame TV over the ornate fireplace. The living room opens up into the spacious front room via large dividing pocket-doors. The front room holds a day bed (that can open up into a king/double-twin bed), a loveseat, an additional 6-person table and built in bookshelves with games.
Outside, the front and back porches invite you with relaxing seating. Grill up some meat for your party on the KitchenAid 5-burner gas grill or enjoy a nice soak in the 7-person Artesian Spas hot tub. In the evening, sit out in the yard by the firepit and roast some marshmallows. Or use the supplied bench-seat wagon and 4 camp-chairs to stroll down to the beach for a gorgeous sunset.
For families with young kids, we provide two pack-plays, two high chair/booster seats, a bassinet, as well as some toys and games in a little nook in which kiddos could play.
The laundry room has a large washer/dryer and changing space.
We will provide the following amenities: soap, shampoo, conditioner, toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, dishwashing detergent, coffee and tea, towels, extra sheets, 2 blow dryers, cleaning supplies.
