About this property

605 Monroe - Overlooking South Beach & Lighthouse

The home offers 6 bedrooms, with 5 of them being suites with private bathrooms! The home has 7 full bathrooms in total spread across the 3 floors. Additional items include newly renovated bathrooms, a brand new kitchen including high-end appliances, a large island with seating for 5, a wet bar area with a beverage refrigerator, a basement recreation room, and so much more! A stay at 605 Monroe is an exceptional experience in a luxury and idyllic location. Settled just across the street from beautiful South Beach and the Kid's Corner Park, this luxury vacation rental in Michigan boasts views over sandy stretches of shoreline and the iconic South Haven Lighthouse.

A covered front porch greets guests as they make their way through the front door into the welcoming entryway. New beautiful wood floors keep this home elegant and comfortable. The main living space of the first floor is designed as an open-concept floor plan allowing the living room to blend seamlessly into the kitchen. Guests will enjoy plush furnishings around a large fireplace. Indulge in an enhanced vantage point on the lake from the living room with floor-to-ceiling windows providing breathtaking views of the water. The kitchen comes complete with top-of-the-line appliances making serving up something savory a treat. Surrounded by chairs, this island makes the perfect seating addition to the six-person dining room table located just on the other side of the kitchen wall. An array of modern lighting fixtures and strategic wall cutouts keep the main floor a social place to spend time with family and friends no matter where you choose to lounge, converse or cook.

The main floor will offer a large bedroom with a King mattress and en-suite full bathroom for those who prefer lower-level accommodations. Additionally, guests will enjoy the convenience of an in-home elevator allowing for easy access between floors (this will require advance notice of 7-10 days at minimum). The second level of the home is designed with four bedroom en-suites with four full bathrooms. The second-floor master bedroom invites guests to pamper themselves by making the most of an expansive tub and open shower.

The lower level of this beautiful luxury vacation rental in Michigan includes a game room where the fun promises to be non-stop. Guests will take advantage of the pool table as well as a large, comfortable nearby seating area with a 75" TV. Those guests who are traveling as a large group will find the basement provides ample additional sleeping space with two sets of bunk beds. When you're ready to celebrate vacation in style, the basement also hosts a wet bar for sipping something savory. Tall ceilings, modern color schemes, and fresh, beachfront décor throughout make this home a stylish place to call your own during a stay in South Haven.

We had a lovely time at 605 Monroe Blvd. The house was very comfortable for our family of 15. The location was great, so close to the beach, playground and town. We especially enjoyed the gas fire pit area.

Short but sweet stay

My siblings, their children, and my family all stayed in this beautiful home. Perfect location and amazing views of the lake. The house was great with kids; lots of room to spread out, the basement had various games, and it is right by the park and across from the lake.

Great Location, Lots of Space!

This house was great for our extended family getaway. The location is ideal, so close to the beach and a short walk downtown. With a game room and a living room for gathering, our large group could choose an exciting location or a more relaxed place to sit and talk. The kitchen was well equipped, and we had plenty of comfortable bedrooms for everyone.

Off Season Stay

We had a mini-family reunion in this home for a weekend in March. The house is absolutely beautiful. All rooms are wonderful, but the best of the best is the family room/kitchen area with so many windows, that it felt as if we were right on the beach. Simply a breathtaking view.

Wonderful lake view

Very nice place in a beautiful setting with a wonderful lake view - comfortable and clean with all the amenities we were looking for in a long golf weekend. Short walk to Clementines (0.8 mi) and downtown attractions. Comfortably slept 8 of us, with room for a few more. Would definitely rent this house again!

South Haven

We had an amazing vacation at this house. We loved being walkable & bikeable to town. The kids loved walking to the park and beach. The house had everything we needed, plenty of beds, a Keurig and a coffee pot, a pack n' play, plenty of towels, but could have used a few more washcloths. Thank you for letting us use your beautiful home.

Magical vacation

We stayed here with our families (grandparents and little kids) to celebrate a birthday, the house was even better than shown in pictures. Beautiful, spacious and clean. The views of Lake Michigan from the front upstairs two bedrooms was incredible. Short walk to the beach and playground. The fire pit outside was so nice and the views from the front porch and family room was stunning. We loved our stay here! If there was a cancellation policy we’d already have booked to come back next year.

Beautiful home great location!

Had a wonderful family vacation in this beautiful home. The home was stocked perfectly! Baby gates, pack and play, baby seats! The kitchen had everything. The only thing is I wish they had beach chairs and umbrellas. We had to bring those. The location to town and the beach was great! Sunsets from the front porch outstanding.

lovely

we loved staying here. the view is incredible and the home is gorgeous/spacious! perfect proximity to beach access. only negative is the 4th bedroom upstairs is not a true bedroom. it’s perfect for toddlers or small children but doesn’t really work for adults since it’s connected to the master. we loved this home though!!!!

Beautiful House, Beautiful surroundings, wonderful time!

We’re a family of 7 adults, 1 toddler and 1 infant. We had plenty of room for private space as well as family space! The house was phenomenal! Beautifully decorated, fully stocked with all the necessities. The cleaning staff should be commended!! The house was spotless! The view of Lake Michigan was both beautiful and relaxing. Both kids and adults loved the corner park and the walks along the beach! Beachwalk Properties was also very good! They were quick to respond, very pleasant to work with and accommodating! We would definitely stay here again! Thank you for sharing this slice of paradise!

review of 605 Monroe st south haven

No chairs in the bedrooms. No grab bars in shower which were slick because of the soft water. TV offering marginal. We had to pay for a subscription to watch ESPN as well as local channels. Igniter on grill didn't work. Owner requested not to wear shoes in house. That is dangerous as steps are all hardwood to walk in socks. Also burden on people with planters fasciitis

great Labor Day weekend Family House

Great location . Home is very comfortable for our 7 adults and one infant. Beds were comfortable. House was very clean. We loved the porch and outdoor fire pit and lounge chairs. The Super High hedges made for great privacy on what can be a busy road in front. But those same hedges also made it precarious to drive out of the driveway. Just a few cons: the reason for 4 stars and not 5. No hair dryer. lack of cocktail glasses. We had to buy our own. No hot pads for cooking. Had to use dish towels for that. Lack of serving platters in general. Lots of knives, but they were all dull. So in my opinion the kitchen accessories such that I called out could use some attention. We did a lot of cooking in home, due to having an infant. All in all a great weekend Would stay here again if the kitchen issues are addressed. Too much money for everything not to be top notch.

This home is absolutely beautiful, just as pictured. It actually seemed bigger than we expected! Plenty of space for our group of six and comfortable for gathering in the kitchen, living room, dining room, and outdoors. The view is stunning and it’s a two minute walk to the beach.
