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! You will not be driving to the beach--it is faster to walk. 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 65" 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, 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!

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! ##### Kristin G.

The 7 private bedrooms, many with more than 1 bed (plus a separate outbuilding with a fold-out couch) met our extended family's priority for a week's stay very near Lake Michigan within South Haven with a very safe property for young children. The landlord was helpful. ##### patricia n.

Perfect for taking 2 year olds to the park and South Beach easily, and loved having the trail to walk each morning. The yard was big and family friendly. Plenty of beds for all and great fun in the poker/game outbuilding! The second hand furniture and peeling paint in places left a little to be desired for overall look, but for the lower price we feel it’s worth it. ##### Barant H.

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.

You do have clean sheets and bathrooms, but there needs to be better upgrades on things that are broken, missing, or dirty. The game room out back smells of mold. The outdoor kitchen had a filthy gas grill and the table to eat on hadn’t been cleaned in ages. The outdoor refrigerator was dirty and broken. We are a group of campers so we made it work for us. We love the proximity to the beach and the bike trails, but it was not the standard we were expecting for the price. ##### Carla K.

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. ##### Linda m. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda M. 8 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Gathering This house is perfect for a large family gathering. The location is great as you can walk downtown and to the beach. The bedrooms were smaller than they appeared on line but we managed fine. No one ever had to wait for a bathroom as there were 4 though we hadn't anticipated running out of toilet paper in the first 24 hours and having to go to the store. We also could have used a few more plates and silverware. The large back yard was wonderful and the three grandchildren has a ball playing soccer (Women's World Cup was in progress) with the adults. Overall, I would rate this house excellent and we would come back in two years when we want to do it again. ##### Linda M. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Mariyah S. 11 Sept 2024 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Family Stay - Think Twice If you want a place two blocks from the beach with a large yard, this may work. However, if cleanliness and comfort matter, look elsewhere. We didn’t receive check-in info via VRBO, so I emailed him. He texted the details later and mentioned a big new Weber gas grill. When we arrived, the house was covered in cobwebs. While some are normal in summer, we didn't expect spiders inside in every corner or above the beds. The furniture was ripped, the mattresses were so worn that two people would roll into the middle, and the floors were too dirty to walk on barefoot. Sheets looked dirty, and paint was peeling around the house. The freezer was missing shelves, making it nearly unusable. When I contacted John, he said the cleaning crew should have informed him about the freezer. Two hours later, water leaked from the fridge. He said it had been leaking for a month and suggested we use towels. Talk about a safety hazard. I cannot believe it takes a month to replace a fridge. The bathrooms were moldy and misrepresented. One had just a jacuzzi, and another was in a filthy outhouse. Not great for after the beach. When I expressed our disappointment, John was dismissive: that the appeal was the location and yard and we could leave if we wanted. Where were to go? Ironically, the yard was in such bad shape we asked if he could turn on the water so we could clean the patio to sit for a meal. He never responded, so we swept it ourselves. We had to clean the grill ourselves to use it. ##### Mariyah S.

The bathroom grout was dirty, the grass needed mowing and the extra game room was very musty smelling. I did contact the owner and he was prompt in having the yard mowed and the bathrooms were cleaned but the problem is the type of grout. The house furnishings were very minimal and the living room furniture was pretty worn. It would have been nice to have hooks or rods available in all the bedrooms for hanging bath towels. The location was great and we did enjoy the outdoors. ##### ruth m.

This property has a long list of disrepair items …. Leaking through the ceiling from upstairs bathroom, mold growth in upstairs shower and in laundry room, leaking refrigerator with non working ice maker, patio furniture that frankly was scary to sit on, grill was filthy, lawn needed mowed and the place has not seen a landscaper in some time. Furniture was scarce and in poor shape. Only one TV in the entire main house… really? It’s really a shame because this place has so much potential if the owner would invest back into the property. My suggestion \~ keep looking this property is not worth $700+ per night. ##### Tonya W.

Short on towels, refrigerator froze items, ice machine didn’t work, toaster browned one side, screen on slider taped to hold together, didn’t slide. Loose patio blocks separated, patio chairs iffy, upstairs shower leaked through ceiling on to my suitcase full of clothes. Definitely need some TLC. Also a woman touch wouldn’t hurt. ##### cheryl h.

There were several issues with the building. Upper half of house is quite a bit warmer than lower half and several upstairs windows had no screens. Mouse droppings in kitchen cabinet and outbuilding, mattresses stained and without covers, not enough sheets for all beds, outside grill only heated to 300 degrees, dirty dishes in kitchen cabinet when we arrived, stained towels. Property could really shine with proper cleaning, pest control, and better upkeep, especially for rental price. ##### Kristen B. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Vicki M. 13 Sept 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### So so property in a great location The actual house was not as nice as the photos. The kitchen tables and chairs were different and the covering on the chairs was ripped. The living room furniture, also different from the photos, was mismatched, uncomfortable and in poor condition. The exterior was not kept up in the same condition as depicted in the photo. For the extra cleaning fee I expected a more thoroughly cleaned house. There were lots of dusty furniture surfaces and dusty baseboards. The outdoor furniture was also dirty and in poor condition. While we enjoyed our week in South Haven because of the convenient location and great weather; I had the impression the owner felt he didn’t have to try so much while charging a premium price, just because of the location and spaciousness of the property. I would love to return but only if there were assurances of furniture upgrades and better cleaning. ##### Vicki M.

Fit 14 people comfortably and had a large backyard that was great for a variety of activities. Short walk to the beach and easy drive to local stores/golf courses were a huge plus as well. Will be checking availability again for a return trip. ##### Drew P. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa R. 1 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Friends & Family Vacation We really enjoyed our stay and John was very accommodating and available when we had any questions. The house is in a great location. Within walking distance to the beach, playground and downtown. Highly recommend ! ##### Melissa R. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2019 ---
