About this property
MICHIANA #4: Second floor two bedroom one bath in downtown South Haven!
The Michiana Apartment #4 is available to mature, responsible and respectful adults and families only. We try to provide a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere for our guests. We respectfully ask that you please take this into consideration should you choose the Michiana Apartment #4.
The Michiana was originally built in the late 1800s as a large single family home. Years ago it was converted into four separate apartments: two one bedroom apartments and two two bedroom apartments. The Michiana Apartment #4 is located on the second floor and has two spacious bedrooms with one queen bed in each bedroom. Each bedroom also has a closet, a dresser and a chair. The living room has comfortable seating as well as a large flat screen TV. Apartment #4 has had both mechanical and cosmetic updates while still retaining some of the original historic details and finishes. The apartment has a very functional floor plan (see pictures) that can comfortably accommodate a family of four or two adult couples.
There is a sun soaked outdoor deck directly adjacent to the apartment with western exposure which gets nice afternoon sun. Directly next to the deck is the off street parking area so you do not have to carry your luggage or your groceries too far when loading and unloading your car. Please note that this apartment is located on the second floor. Guests will need to walk up and down a full flight of stairs.
The location of the Michiana Apartment #4 is truly ideal. The location is what we like to call 'Close, but not too close!'. By this we mean that it is an easy walk home from the restaurants and night life on Phoenix Street, yet far enough away that you can still sleep peacefully at night. The walk to South Beach is only three blocks west straight down Michigan Avenue. This is the best of small town Americana! Have your morning coffee and sweet roll on a bench on Main Street, or in this case Phoenix Street, and watch people stroll by. Then head back to the apartment to change into your swim suit and walk down to the beach for a day of fun in the sun. We feel the Michiana is centrally located between downtown South Haven and the beautiful South Beach.
We hope you agree and can come to South Haven and stay at the Michiana Apartment #4. Remember...

Super clean upon arrival. Good size and played out nicely. Close to main drag(Phoenix St.) and the beach(North). My wife and I highly recommend this place. Host communication was terrific. We’ll be booking another stay in the future.

We loved our stay! The location is the perfect walking distance to both the beach and downtown south haven. The apartment was very clean and quiet. Check in and out were easy and everything went smoothly.
My friends and I loved our time staying at the Michiana property! We loved the location especially. Waking distance to both the beach and downtown! The space was clean, well-kept, and welcoming, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again!
My friends and I enjoyed our stay here. It's the perfect location to walk to downtown South Haven. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed!
Easy to walk to town and the beach (especially for sunsets).

The Michiana Apartments are located on the Northeast corner of Indiana Avenue and Michigan Avenue in South Haven, Michigan. This location is truly ideal in that it is centered between the South Beach and all of the shops and restaurants in downtown South Haven. The South Beach is only three blocks to the west. Downtown South Haven is only three blocks to the east. The neighborhood itself is beautiful and quiet. It seems as though everyone walks everywhere. One of our favorite things to do is to walk to the farmers market under the pavilion on Saturday morning. Grab a cup of coffee and a sweet roll at Julia's and then stroll through the open air farmers market. Even if the weather is not cooperating, the market is under the cover of a very large pavilion. Another favorite is to walk to Captain Nemo's after dinner for Sherman's Ice Cream and then walk down to the light house to watch the sun set. Once again, the ideal location makes all of this so easy. Please take a minute to review our current availability calendar on this listing to see if your desired dates are available. If they are not, email us anyway as we may be able to accommodate you in another one of our apartments at the Michiana. Thanks for taking the time to read our listing. We look forward to hearing from you and hope we can accommodate you in South Haven at the Michiana Apartment #4!
Sincerely,
Michael Biedermann
My fiancée and I were able to spend a weekend at Michael’s place here in South Haven, and it was absolutey perfect. Nice, clean, and great location within a 5 min walk one way to the beach, and a 5 min walk the other way to downtown. Cannot recommend this stay enough.
The owner was an excellent communicator and answered immediately each time I had a question. Everything was as advertised, check in was easy. The location is fantastic! Easy walk to the beach or to town. Lots of great restaurants and stores in easy walking distance. South Beach is a great place for kids and has magnificent sunsets! There are lots of great sporting activities for the whole family. This apartment was very comfortable with a big screen tv and well equiped kitchen, comfortable beds. Everything we needed for a wonderful week at the lake!!
The property was so clean, everything was as listed and easy to find. Communication was near immediate. Nicely designed space, bedrooms and bathrooms. I would recommend anyone to stay at Michael's properties!
The location was ideal and we walked everywhere. It was a short walk to South beach, restaurants and shops. The apt was clean and we didn't hear the guests in the other units.

About the host
Hosted by Michael Biedermann
We live in the north suburbs of Chicago however we feel South Haven is our home away from home. We can not say enough great things about the community and the people of South Haven. We both have very demanding schedules and spending time together in South Haven allows us to focus on each other and our four children.
Why they chose this property
It seems with most beach towns in Southwest Michigan, if you stay at the beach, you have to drive in to town. Conversely, if you stay in town, you have to drive to the beach. South Haven offers the ability to walk to both. The South Beach and downtown area are only a short three block walk from the Michiana. Life is good and the living is easy!
What makes this property unique
We enjoy the easy access to the South Beach as well as the less than five minute walk to downtown South Haven. Once the groceries are purchased, there is no need for your car again. We have said it so many times but it is true... once you come to South Haven, it feels as though all of life's struggles seem to be lifted. We hope you are able to experience the same feeling!
A great set up for additional family or your best friends but you still have your own private space!!!
