About this property

Only 2 blocks to beach, one block to kids corner, over half an acre!

This 7 bedroom, 4 bath home sleeps 16 n beds with room for more, and sits on over half an acre (3 wonderfully shaded and secluded lots) on the end of a dead-end road, only 2 blocks to the blue stairs at South Beach, and 1 block to Kids Corner! For the bicycle-enthusiast, the newly-paved bike-trail sits 50-feet from the home. This wonderful 4-mile trail will take you directly to the State Park, where you can explore dunes, sit on the beach, and explore an area that many who come to South Haven do not even know exists. If you're looking for a family-friendly South Beach vacation in South Haven, you have found your home!


Because it's summer, you'll get a lot of use out of the outdoor kitchen, featuring an oversize grill, sink, and fridge, with an eat-out counter, sitting on over 500 square feet of stone patio.

The home includes three downstairs bedrooms, one with a Queen bed, one with a King and a twin, and one with a King. Full bath with tub/shower downstairs. Large living room with a 55" 1080p tv that is open to dining room. Living Room, dining room, and kitchen/kitchen eating nook are all very open-concept, and family gathering indoors will not be a problem for even the largest groups!

Four upstairs bedrooms, two have a queen, one has a queen and a twin, one has four twins. Two full baths upstairs, one with a beautiful tumbled-stone tile, glass encased walk-in shower, another with a whirlpool tub.

Kitchen features poured-concrete counter tops, new stainless appliances, and bar-seating for four. Formal dining area features two tables with-seating for 12-16.

Back yard is huge, with plenty of mature trees and areas for the kids to explore! Across the street is a city-owned park area where you can play soccer, throw a baseball around, or have a little picnic!

I purchased this home in November 2014. This home was COMPLETELY GUTTED, down to the studs.

There is a 460 square-foot outbuilding that has been "game room," with a bar, poker table, TV, and full bath with walk-in shower, pull-out couch, Air conditioning/heat, and dual walk-out sliders to the outdoor kitchen off of the main home. The building is really cool, and definitely gives your group some options with respect to living space and privacy.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call or email.

Perfect for family reunion
The house was so comfortable. Beach access was really close, with a pleasant walk through a lovely old neighborhood. A bluff above the beach had benches and was perfect for older members of our group to watch the sunset. The large yard had a table for dinner, an outdoor kitchen with a grill and a firepit that made it ideal for family gatherings. We just enjoyed our stay there so much and would recommend it to everyone!

Great Location, but.....
The house is in a great location. However, the owner needs to spend time on repairs and maintenance. I did not reach out to the homeowner, because there were repairs that needed to be made over 2 years ago, that he still not has addressed. The refrigerator leaks, ice maker doesn't work. We did have a good time, but we would not rent the house again.

Great location, met our needs
Our family enjoyed our stay. Great location and size for a large family. Private setting at the end of the street near a biking/walking trail. Close to the beach, a large playground, and short walk into town. South Haven is a very nice area. The property met our needs and has a lot of potential.
