Happy Ours Cottage, 4 minute walk to sandy beach!
Extensive renovations and restorations over the last 20 years at 222 Brockway Avenue capture the feel of relaxation and fun for your stay in South Haven! Our long driveway will accommodate four vehicles. Street parking is also available for two vehicles March 16-November 14.
We rent the cottage Saturday to Saturday during the last two weeks of June, the month of July, and the first two weeks of August. Outside of those dates, it is usually a three night minimum, although we do rent for two nights in the off season. Our rental fee includes the cleaning fee, Taxes are extra. We do not allow smoking or pets.
Our 4 bedroom, 2 full bath, air conditioning, and washer/dryer cottage is located 600 ft. from Lake Michigan drive (North Shore Drive) and a 15-minute walk to the 50+ Historic Downtown South Haven shops. The cottage is just under a mile from the drawbridge in downtown South Haven. There are six public beaches on the North Side of South Haven. Our closest public beach is located at Oak Street and North Shore Drive. This is a five-minute walk from our house. You can see this when mapping our address.
We have a quiet neighborhood, which should make your stay a pleasant one. Please look at the photos of our renovated cottage! Walk north for an hour on the beach or browse the town with its unique shops and restaurants.

About the host
Hosted by Katherine Suender
I have rented our cottage for over 18 years. As a retired teacher and a Ph.D. student, I am available 24/7 to assist with any needs you may have. I am always happy to help with restaurant suggestions, activities, etc. Of course, our favorite time is enjoying the cottage with our friends and family from Illinois.
With four bedrooms, three on the main level and one downstairs, a brand new Master Bathroom (2015) on the main level, and a shower bathroom on the lower level, our cottage is the perfect location to get together with family and friends.
