About this house rental

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.

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.

Property was perfect for our group. Great yard for my grandsons to play in. We had nightly fires and movies. Out building worked great for an office for work calls. Location was perfect for the park and beach.

Great location and no traffic since it is at end of street. House is ok but could use some TLC.

If you want all polished hardwood floors, spacious bedrooms with tvs (even closets) and modern furniture, go elsewhere. 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.

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!

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.

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.

We had a couple issues I got a hold of the property owner working on resolving the issues. Thank you again, John.
