**THIS IS AN OLD SCHOOL SMALL COTTAGE AN IDEAL SIZE FOR 2 ADULTS AND 3 CHILDREN**

This true beach cottage on the front row on Lake Michigan's Magnificent Mile, beautiful beachfront with only a slope to the shore, no steps to endure. Live on the beach or walk to town for shopping, dining, and entertainment. Bring all the float toys you want or even pull your boat or jet ski right up to our shore for the day, it's your choice. Enjoy an adult beverage on our private beach during the day or a fine bottle of wine at your bonfire after the sun goes down. We've spent many a night watching the sun go down, gazing at the stars. When not on the beach hang on our common area large deck or in our quaint cottage with views of the lake. This is one of the original South Haven cottages that has been meticulously maintained to meet the needs of every beach-goer looking for a unique and special experience. We upgraded the amenities and left the charm. Best for small family or friends getaway. Ideal for 2 adults and up to 4 children.

The sunsets are truly indescribable! The water was crystal clear. This was the most Amazing for kids! It was so close to the beach we could run in grab lunch and go back, left our beach chairs out while we went to grab ice cream. Meijer is close for groceries, ice cream trip 5 min away. Lots of Family friendly parks for everyone! Very much plan to return to south haven!

Check in and communication was very easy. Proximity right on the beach is the wow factor. Great little community of cottages. One air condition unit sits at the head of a bead which is a bit challenging. Other than that, everything was really terrific!

An amazing property. The beach is stunning and the cottage was big enough for my husband and 2 teenaged boys. The cottage is a great mix of function and whimsy. Hearing the waves at night and seeing them anytime we looked out the window was sublime.

I love this place

This has been another great year of many years I have stayed with the Dvorak’s. Again there is another improvement - it may be some new dishes, wine glasses or a lamp, and this year curtains that upped the charm of the condo. I love my week in #1 and will e back again. Dvorak’s- thank you for making it soooo special.

Week in August

Beautiful cottage, cozy, well decorated and appointed with everything we might need. Fabulous views of the lake, wonderful location. We knew the deck right outside our windows was communal, we thought for the other small cottages; however, we did not realize that there was also a large house at the top of the property that had well over a dozen adults & kids staying there also using the deck and beach. With windows open in the living area (necessary this time of year), it sounded as though they were in the cottage with us when they were out on the deck, which was particularly bothersome in the evening. Other than that it was a lovely place to stay.
