“Home is the nicest word there is.” The Cast Away is a beautiful Victorian style home built in the early 1900s with updates to meet the needs of your vacation getaway. It’s the perfect central location being in a quiet neighborhood, yet only moments away from downtown South Haven’s restaurants, shops, taverns, marina, playgrounds and the local movie theatre. Multiple stores including Meijer, Aldi, Walmart, Dollar Tree and Menards are also down the street for anything you need to pick up. Furthermore, the Cast Away is within a mile of the shores of North Beach - a staple point of South Haven. This makes it possible to enjoy the home, town, beach and amazing sunsets all within your stay!
Activity options are endless to make your vacation a memorable one: biking or hiking on the Kal-Haven Trail, gathering for a relaxing beach day, visiting the Maritime Museum, taking boat rides or watching boats at the marina, going between the splashpad and playgrounds while stopping for an ice cream, enjoying local breweries/wineries, and having one-on-one or entire family/friend time while hanging out for a backyard barbeque. This is just the beginning of what this picturesque Lake Michigan town has to offer.
The Cast Away's spacious floor plan has a welcome-home appeal to meet the needs of families and friends looking to create meaningful memories. The interior has a nautical theme with hardwood cherry floors, antique furniture pieces, unique woodwork and built-ins, and central air conditioning/heating. With five large bedrooms, it comfortably sleeps 12 guests. The first-floor bedroom has a queen-sized bed, ample closet space, and an adjacent newly remodeled bathroom with walk-in shower. There are four bedrooms upstairs where three have queen-sized beds and one has a bunk bed and trundle bed. Two of the upstairs queen bedrooms have TVs with Roku devices so guests can sign in to their own streaming apps. The second floor has a very large, updated bathroom featuring a beautiful vaulted ceiling, beadboard walls, attractive tile and a linen alcove. A stackable washer and dryer in the upstairs hallway outside of the bedrooms is a convenient bonus for guests (bring your own detergent). On the main floor, the L-shaped couch in the comfortable living room is a great place to unwind at the end of your day. The 55” smart TV has a Roku Soundbar where you can log in to your own streaming services; an extra USB port is available if you’d like to bring your own streaming device. The dining room with beautiful bay window is perfect for meals and games. The Cast Away has a front and back porch to sit and soak in the surroundings of South Haven’s tree-lined neighborhood while enjoying your morning coffee or evening beverages. You can even see your children play at Tot Lot Park right across the street from the front porch! Located on a corner lot, there is plenty of street parking and two driveway spaces available. The sizeable yard with a secluded back patio is a favorite of our past guests, and a corn hole game is provided!
South Haven is a timeless vacation experience that has been enjoyed for generations; the Cast Away is a blissful escape from the troubles of everyday life. Partake in the stay you and your family or friends deserve. It's time to start your own tradition for years to come!

About the host
Hosted by Anthony Pronoitis
I am from the Southwest Suburbs of Chicago and have been lucky to call South Haven, Michigan my home-away-from-home my entire life. My favorite parts of the area are the charming downtown with fun food and drink spots, watching boats go to and from Lake Michigan on the Black River out of the huge marina, multiple family-friendly parks and the new splash pad, and of course, the sugar-sand beaches with unbeatable sunsets. During all seasons, there are orchards for fruit picking, excellent wineries and breweries and popular towns like Holland and Saugatuck nearby. South Haven has always been the perfect vacation spot for me and my family; it is my hope that my visitors enjoy it as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
South Haven is the All-American Cottage Town of the Midwest. Everything is within walking distance! The scenic beaches allow everyone to take in the euphoric atmosphere of Lake Michigan; from sunbathing to boating, there are many activities to partake in. The town itself is rich with entertainment ranging from bars, restaurants, shops and even live music during summer events! There are no limits to one's stay here, and rest assured, all troubles will be forgotten!
What makes this property unique
Location! Location! Location! The Cast Away is in a quiet neighborhood community, yet only a brisk walk from all the livelihood the town of South Haven has to offer. Not only will you be minutes from the downtown area, but also about one mile from the sands of beautiful North Beach and other quaint beaches. Additionally, the Cast Away is moments away from the marina if you wish to go boating on the beautiful waters of Lake Michigan. Tot Lot Park is right across the street from the house so your children are able to stay entertained before and after the days' activities. For convenience, multiple stores including Meijer, Aldi, Walmart, Dollar Tree and Menards are also down the street for anything you need to pick up.
