About this cottage rental
Truly a home away from home! The cottage, located at 128 Superior St., consists of five bedrooms, two full baths and sleeps 11. The three upstairs bedrooms feature a master room with queen bed, a room with two single beds, and a room with a full bed and twin bunk over it. Redecorated in 2023, the new sectional sofa provides comfort and seating for everyone! Also new, the upstairs bedrooms have individual air conditioning units. The two downstairs rooms feature a queen bed and the other a trundle bed (two twin mattresses.) The dining table seats plenty with bench seating and the smart TV in the family room makes TV viewing a pleasure.The open concept floor plan maximizes the space and flows comfortably. Enjoy the cottage's screened-in porch where you can watch the comings and goings of everyone on their way to the beach or downtown, and the best part, the mosquitoes won't get you! It is always everyone's favorite place to relax! The cottage is walking distance to beach and downtown - one block to beach and two blocks to the riverwalk and downtown. Look west and you can capture the beautiful sunset or stroll on down to the bluff to see the skyline up close and personal! Kids need to burn off some steam? Walk them a few blocks to the great family park and playground, Kid's Corner. They will also find entertainment in the "kid room" which features some toys, easel, and a kid craft table. Bring your bikes, or rent them from one of the many bicycle rental shops in town, and enjoy the VanBuren Bike Trail, which conveniently passes by the cottage.
The cottage has cable TV, wi-fi, air conditioning, gas grill, and washer/dryer. New for 2022, all the bedrooms upstairs have their own air conditioning unit. The kitchen is ready for use and has everything you need for cooking and serving. There is a coffee maker and a Keurig. We also provide everything you need to start off your vacation - paper towel, toilet paper, dish soap, etc. We provide bedding and bath towels, both of which are newly purchased. All you need to do is bring your clothes and beach towel!
The home has been impeccably maintained and our renters always comment on the amazing location and decor. Come see for yourself!
Rentals during prime summer weeks run Sunday to Sunday. There is flexibility for check-in day and minimum stay for some June and August weeks. Send me an inquiry to find out more.
Check-in time is 4pm. Check-out is promptly at 11am. Please respect these times as the cottage needs to be cleaned for new arrivals.

Excelente location; very close to the beach and at walking distance to everyone else. A very comfortable and safe place to gather with family!

Very pleased!

This house is wonderful! It is within walking distance to both the beach and downtown and the owners let us borrow the beach wagon, which really helped. They provided all that was necessary and we had enough room inside and out for the 9 of us. It was clean, well decorated and had new heating/air and appliances. Thank you for letting us stay at your place!

We had a great time, all as promised. 2 blocks from the overlook of the lake, 4 blocks to get to South Beach, about 6 blocks to downtown. Great house for the 10 of us. We hope to return. Thanks Amy!

Overall, the beach bungalow is a fantastic place and I recommend it to others! I’ll be happy to stay there again if I find myself in south haven in the future. It’s got everything you need and is steps away from the beach. It was a great place to have fun, unplug, and relax.

This was a comfortable and convenient property that made walking downtown and to the beach very easy! We had a terrific time! I highly recommend this property! Thank you to the helpful owners for sharing their home!

The Beach House was a perfect getaway for us! Location is excellent- very close to the beach and walking distance from downtown. We loved the screened in porch for morning coffee and evening relaxation time. Highly recommend!

The location of this house is perfect - two blocks to the stairs to the beach, easy walk to downtown.
I thought, from the photos, the house was recently renovated or maybe even new. It is not. It was renovated at some time, but the floors are slanted and the fixtures show wear. All of that was fine, I just expecting something newer.
The house decor is cute. The furniture is comfortable, though there are not enough seats for the number of guests it can accommodate. The dining table only has benches. The stove needs to be lighted with a lighter, and the dishwasher is small. There is no real yard, so cookouts would be on the driveway.
Having said that, we had a great time! Just think of it as an older South Haven house - it was like many others we have stayed in.

The space was clean and well maintained. We had 2 families stay there with 5 kids under 7 and the layout was perfect for it. One family of 4 took the downstairs bedrooms and family of 5 upstairs. The kids toys was a welcomed bonus for our Littles, and the common area was big enough we didn't feel crowded on a rainy day. We walked to town and the beach every day and even a couple of the kids could walk it without riding in a wagon. I would recommend this house to families, and would stay here again 100%.

Second year staying at this place. Clean and perfect location. 2 blocks to beach and town! Owner extremely responsive. Had one small issue and the owner had someone out to fix it ASAP. Will definitely stay here again.

We prefer homes that the owners use themselves. This home falls into that category. The place is clean and cared for and we would do for our own vacation home. I would suggest this place to anyone and will probably stay there again.

This house is very charming. The screened in porch was a wonderful way to share our coffee in the morning, and wine in the evening. The beach is a quick stroll to watch the magnificent sunsets. My sisters & I had a marvelous time.
The owner was very responsive to our requests. Overall, it was fabulous.

We especially enjoyed the location of this home and it’s proximity to both South Beach and the restaurants. We had 4 adults and 6 kids and everyone slept comfortably.

Could walk to town and the beach

Location was ideal, about 2 blocks from the beach and a short walk to downtown. The place was configured well for us, kids upstairs, parents downstairs. Despite being an older building the house was clean. The only real issue was the upstairs was hot. The air conditioning system works, but it is out of balance, downstairs ok, upstairs hot. The kids did not mind much, but I would have trouble sleeping if we had to sleep upstairs.

Please read Pat M.’s review of July 17th. We found similar conditions during our 8/1-8/8 stay … which means that the owner did little to resolve any of the issues after Pat M.’s review was posted. In addition, we found the couch stained and dirty, filthy windowsills, a broken window latch in the kitchen held together with masking tape, a broken bathroom fan, a bedroom smoke detector hanging by wires from the ceiling and without a battery, completely demolished upstairs bathroom window blinds and a large kitchen floor vent filled with a spider web so large it was horrific. We did not feel comfortable at all letting our grandson crawl on the floor. Plus, there was only one key for the entire house. In our case we DID contact the owner who offered us a full refund if we wanted to leave – a completely unworkable remedy as this was our family vacation, we live across the country and South Haven was fully booked. The next day the owner brought flowers and wine and came over to clean. She also sent her handyman over on Tuesday for some of the other repairs. But the communication and visits required to even partially remedy the situation – not to mention our ongoing questioning of the cleanliness of the home – disrupted and put a damper on our one-week vacation. I understand the quirks and quaintness of an older beach home, but the disrepair and poor equipping of this one felt incommensurate with the cost – which was much pricier than listed due to high-season rates.

This is a quaint older house in a fantastic location - a 5 minute walk to the beach and 10 minute walk into town! The house was as shown in the pictures, with plenty of bedrooms for everyone. We particularly enjoyed the screened in porch. However, we found that the house came with lots of older house quirks. The air conditioning could not keep up upstairs so the bedrooms were very warm, particularly during the day. The kitchen is older and full of ants - any food left on the counter overnight was completely overrun with ants the next morning. And most concerningly, the staircase does not have a railing and we spent the entire trip afraid that one of the kids (ages 7, 4, 3, 1.5 and 1) would fall over the 5-6 foot drop and get hurt. It made for a rather stressful trip. We were also disappointed to arrive at check-in time and find that the house was still being cleaned. We weren't able to access the house until almost 45 minutes later, which is quite a long time when you have hot, melting down kids. Overall we'd recommend the house to families with older kids or adults-only based on the location alone, but would strongly recommend against for families like us with young children given the stair rail situation.

Only positive was being 2 blocks from beach and in a nice neighborhood. Even though it sleeps 11 and we only had 6 staying 2 of the beds weren’t made up. Had to look for linens. There were enough bath towels but had to look for wash cloths and finally found them in the dryer with other towels. Two of the 3 lights were burnt out in downstairs bathroom, the exhaust fan didn’t work and the door wouldn’t close. Lights burnt out in downstairs bedroom and upstairs hallway. Carpet needed cleaned and windows were filthy. Upstairs very warm and downstairs cold. Latch on dishwasher messed up. Furniture was very uncomfortable. If there would have been 11 people staying there the kitchen wasn’t equipped to feed that many. Not enough dishes and utensils. We will not be going back.

8 adults stayed in the house for our stay and it worked out so well! The location is walking distance to the beach and to downtown so we walked everywhere. Wonderful trip and the list of things to do that the property manager left for us was so helpful!
