Unsalted Tides - Walk to Beach + Town, Sleeps 10, Family + Pet-Friendly, Tudor

Welcome to Unsalted Tides — a storybook 1938 brick Tudor in South Haven's coveted South Beach neighborhood, four blocks from Lake Michigan. Original character, modern comfort, and a walk-everywhere location you simply can't build anymore.

WHY FAMILIES CHOOSE THIS HOUSE

Three second-floor bedrooms — each with a queen bed — mean three couples get a real bedroom of their own. Grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles all sleep well, and the kids claim the two sleeper sofas (main floor and lower level) like the best fort ever built. Room for 10, all under one roof, no one exiled to an air mattress.

THE SPACE

The living room centers on a natural wood-burning fireplace — the heart of the house on a crisp fall evening or a snowy Michigan weekend. The dining area seats the whole crew for pancake mornings and taco nights, and the kitchen has everything you need to cook for a group.

3 bedrooms, all queen beds (2nd floor)
Main-floor sleeper sofa + lower-level sleeper sofa (sleeps 10 total)
Full bath (2nd floor), half bath (main floor), plus a shower and sink in the lower level — handy for post-beach rinse-offs
Central A/C and heat — genuinely comfortable in every season
Wood-burning fireplace
Dogs welcome — this is their vacation too

WALK EVERYWHERE

Park the car Friday and don't touch it again until Sunday:

4 blocks to Lake Michigan — sunset strolls become a nightly ritual
12-minute walk to South Beach (0.7 mi) — sugar-sand beach, the iconic red lighthouse, and Big Lake sunsets
7-minute walk to downtown Phoenix Street (0.3 mi) — restaurants like Taste, ice cream at South Pier Creamery, coffee, boutiques, and the harbor

Close enough to walk to dinner with grandma and the kids; far enough back for quiet evenings on a classic tree-lined street.

FOUR SEASONS OF SOUTH HAVEN

Summer: beach days and the Blueberry Festival. Fall: color tours, wine country (a dozen wineries within about 20 minutes), and fireside sweater weather. Winter: a quiet snow-globe version of town — perfect for holiday gatherings with everyone under one roof. Spring: blossoms, charter fishing, and beating the crowds. With central heat and air, Unsalted Tides is built for all of it.

PET POLICY

$125 covers up to 2 dogs for the whole stay — often less than a few nights of boarding, and your pup gets to be part of the trip instead of missing it. Traveling with more than 2 dogs? Message us before booking; additional pets may be approved at the host's discretion for $25/pet.

GOOD TO KNOW

Maximum occupancy is 10 per City of South Haven rental permit
One full bath plus a half bath and lower-level shower — plan the morning rotation accordingly (the location makes up for it, promise)

Winter street parking: no parking on city streets 2:30–6:00 a.m., Nov 15–Mar 15 (off-street parking available at the property)
This is a 1938 home with the charm to prove it — character over cookie-cutter
